After seeing a number of friends' snapchats of this place, I finally got to try it out! The restaurant is very vibrant, clean, and super welcoming! I ordered a small (2 scoops of fish) with half brown rice and half salad as the base. Add in 1 scoop of salmon and 1 scoop of tuna for the fish. Add avocado, cucumber, seaweed salad, masago, sesame seeds, dried seaweed, and probably some other toppings to this bowl. Finished with their house sauce, which is similar to sesame shoyu in all the other poke places. I really enjoy the fact that this place cuts the fish into huge pieces; it feels like I'm getting a bang for my buck. Also, super nice that they have their own selection of teas and what not. This definitely sets them apart from other poke places because the usual places has canned sodas and teas. However, what I didn't like was the lack of flavor. When you order the sauce, it gets poured on, having you to mix it on your own. Even mixed, I felt like it just wasn't enough. I feel like seeing the fish being marinated in sauce gives that comforting feeling, knowing that your food will be flavorful. Overall, this place did not stand out too much for me. Tea was good though! :) read more

PokeMIX - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Needed a little lunch while in Pasadena. I wasn't impressed. The rice was purple, supposedly infused with tea. The proteins were lacking, only four to close from and the squirt the sauces on top. And only a few sauce options. This seems more of a tea, juice place than a lunch spot. And $20 bucks on top of that! Not coming back. read more

This place is nice. People were friendly and the place was clean. About average poke. Nothing special about the place. The poke was fresh and the drinks were tasty. No one got sick. Problem is the place is a little out of the way and parking is poor. If I happen to be in the area I may go back. read more

Man oh man. If you know me, you know I love me some Flour + Tea! Easily my favorite boba shop/cafe for its sweet atmosphere, friendly service, and yummy offerings. My first trip to PokeMix was a disappointment. I ordered ALL THE TOPPINGS, didn't mix them properly, and wound up with several mouthfuls of wasabi. I don't profess to be an expert of poke AT ALL, so I can't compare this to the standard. But when I tried it the second time around, I was absolutely pleased. Some winning points for PokeMix by Flour + Tea: PORTIONS - Very generous! Even the small gives you two large scoops of seafood! It was the perfect amount for dinner mixed with the rice and other toppings. SPECIALS - I believe they have a special fish every day? So that spices up the usual mix of tuna, salmon, etc. Further, they have SPECIAL TEA COMBOS! And you can sample them! Do it! SERVICE - Similarly to the original Flour + Tea, the folks who work here are just so nice. I never feel rushed, and it seems they really enjoy what they do. Makes the place bright and comfortable! I can't say it's the best poke place (because I don't know what that would mean), but there are lots of options and the food tastes good. Don't go too crazy with toppings, but if you like to live on the wild side, at least make you sure you (Poke)MIX it all up nicely! read more

Pros: Yummy mochi treats, Milk tea Cons: Mediocre poke, limited toppings I've been to PokeMix in the past, but I thought I would give it another shot in hopes my first mediocre experience was a fluke. Unfortunately, it was not. PokeMix has limited toppings and the rice to fish ratio was off--I love white rice and usually always finish it, but I had tons leftover. The fish quality was pretty poor. I didn't even risk the salmon based on appearance alone, so I opted for the tuna, crab and spicy tuna. The tuna was alright, but definitely not the best I've ever had. The crab was mixed with tomato and celery and tasted like an unappealing version of a deconstructed crab cake. The spicy tuna tasted a bit too fake for my taste. I really enjoy their baked goods and mochi bread at their Flour + Tea location and, thankfully, they had some of these goodies at PokeMix to supplement my disappointment. Overall, I don't think I'll be back, especially considering Pasadena is now overflowing with excellent poke spots! read more

PokeMIX - Medium Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

This review is based on their poke bowls. I haven't tried any of their teas or drinks. That being said, I don't really understand all the great reviews. I came in on a Sunday night since my regular poke place (Pokenoya) was closed. The salad and rice base for a medium bowl was pretty pathetic in quantity. The gal gave me a decent portion of salmon for my scoops of protein though I think if she would have stuck with just 3 of their tiny scoops, that probably would have been pathetic too. I LOVE poke so I have been to many a poke places. The only topping I got on my bowl was CUCUMBER bc they had about 4 toppings to choose from and I never get any of the others they had (masago, wasabi, may have had mango or something). It was the saddest poke bowl I have EVER eaten. Def won't be coming back read more

God this is absolutely amazing. Must try! The fish is fresh and overall delicious. They have a variety of fish as well as drinks by Flour and Tea. read more

PokeMIX - Brown rice, salmon, tuna, two toppings for a small bowl, and def try the Spicy Mayo sauce! - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Poke was not good. Fish was not fresh at all. And toppings were super bland and used sparingly. Was super disappointed:(

Ive been to quite a few poke places in so cal and have yet to find one similar to the Hawaii ones ... This place is cool bc it's a restaurant and bakery. Ordered just the small and it came w two scoops of protein and rice or salad. Toppings were included - they have tobiko seaweed salad and seaweed Also got their shamrock gold tea - yummy white peach kiwi green tea read more

So excited flour and tea has a location so close to my house now! I mean... Not that I was driving very far to the one near old town but I can go for a walk and enjoy beautiful Lake Ave too! So clearly... location is fantastic. The tea has always been stellar here and I've been going to the other location since they opened. The staff is friendly and the product is fantastic. This location is definitely no different. Great product, clean store, and friendly staff! I'm afraid I did not get a chance to actually try the poke since I was in a rush, but I grabbed a drink and pastries. The mochi Nutella pastry was lovely! Not too overwhelming- although I probably would not have minded lots of Nutella. The lychee tea I got was great and consistent with the other location's drink which was also great. I will definitely be back to try the poke bowl! Stay tuned for an update! read more

PokeMIX - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

If you've ever been to Pokinometry in Anaheim or Wiki Poki in Koreatown, this place would fall right in between. I was pretty satisfied with the quality of the food and service here. Menu is straightforward - choose from small, medium, or large poki bowls and select your base of rice, greens, or half/half. I like that they offer half/half as an option and they're pretty generous with their serving portions. Ordered a medium bowl and it's definitely enough to share between two people. Parking: Metered street parking ($1/hr) read more

PokeMIX - Medium (half brown rice/half greens) poki bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Such a convenient location for my two loves of poke and bubble tea, but this place wasn't as I expected for the overpriced menu. Their poke was colorful and looked very fresh, great in pics. For $10 I got brown rice with two protein of salmon and shrimp, the rice was a thin layer at the bottom, good portion on the proteins. Everything was so bland even with the sauces, too little on the rice, nothing special about this while eating it and definitely did not miss it after unfortunately! Also for the Thai tea boba and boyyyy it was milky, pretty good size but not worth $5. The service was okay, the staff weren't rude or anything but I did have to repeat my order several times. Probably wouldn't come back here since the quality doesn't match the price. read more

Super friendly service. Hopefully you will find a parking space. The bowls are skimpy. Not enough options for poke. Good flavor. Not enough for the price. Still hungry. Won't go back. read more

Came here on a Monday evening while sitting in some crazy LA traffic from Santa Monica to Pasadena and was starrrrving. Decided to stop by here to try this new place out. Was sincerely greeted upon my entrance by a woman and the rest of the friendly staff and introduced to the menu and how ordering works! Received recommendations to try the albacore + ahi tuna. It was great! Next time I come I hope to try the Spicy Tuna- that looked yumms. I did notice that it was a biiit too salty but that might be due to the pink "Hawaiian salt." However, overall good tasting fish. The place itself is pretty big and is super chic. There's a wall on the side full of neatly packaged teas for sale. Four stars since the portions was a bit small (understandable because rent for this place must be extremely pricey) and for it being a bit too salty. read more

PokeMIX - Small Half Rice / Half Salad with Albacore + Ahi Tuna sprinkled with almost all the toppings including Garlic Chips and Seaweed - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

I am frustrated with their playing with portions of my bowl. I am small and always given significantly less than a guy next to me ordering the exactly same size bowl and choices. I understand their logic that some types of people don't eat much. But if they set and implement this policy, at least they have to cut down the prices for those who are getting significantly less. I don't think it is fair to pay equally for unequal portions. read more

If you are looking for a poke place that you can't get out of your mind when you are not in town. Well this is your place. The people there are really nice, and so many flavors in the food. Ps. Secret tip for boba, ask for the love potion blended. Best drink you've ever had. read more

PokeMIX - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

The portion is great and I'm talking about the fish/veggie/rice ratio. The freshness of the fish is very good tbh. Compared to a lot of poke places I've been to this one doesn't disappoint. The staff that work there are friendly and accommodating. I haven't tried the drinks but if they taste as good as they look I'm excited to try it. This area is surrounded by higher priced restaurants & food spots in general so to have a "fast food" with great quality + portion makes it a gem. read more

A friend recently discovered PokeMix and vouched that its one of the best (and practically only) shops that serve poke around Pasadena. I first stopped by on a weekend afternoon because he also mentioned this is a decent spot to get some work done, and I was pleasantly surprised! This is basically a poke version of Chipotle that is built into a coffe/tea shop. The is WIFI, and a few outlets on the left side of the store. The menu is very simple: between 6 protein options (tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp, scallop, and imitation crab) you can choose 2 (small), 3 (medium), or 4 (large) scoops. For healthy eaters, you can choose a mix of salad and brown rice to go with the "protein" and top it with various ingredients. The spicy mayo might be high in calorie, but you will definitely feel "clean" after your bowl. On my third visit here, the owners also warned me about the lunch rush. I arrived at about 2:30PM, and the rush had just ended. If you're not a fan of crowds, this is something to be mindful of. As for parking, there are various 1 hour spots along the street that are $1/hr. On my only weekday visit, I was actually able to park in the back parking lot for free! read more

PokeMIX - Poke mix - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

PokeMix by Flour + Tea is right around the corner from the office. I have been here several times with coworkers and it is a decent spot for a quick and light poke lunch. Pros: the fish is fresh and flavorful. They infuse their white rice with hibiscus which is unique, pretty and tasty. They have a huge selection of teas to choose from. I have tried the hot green milk tea and several lychee teas and all of them have been very good. Cons: parking is terrible unless you work at an office nearby - I would not bother coming here if it weren't for the fact I work walking distance away. They don't give you extra anything - which is pretty lame and very stingy. Tips: The tea comes too sweet so I recommend ordering it with less sugar than "regular". I like using the poke sauce mixed with the sweet ginger and hot chili. Ask for wasabi and ginger! They have it in the back. read more

First time here and it will be my last. First parking sucks and it's not the easiest to find. 2nd the customer service is horrible. Really how hard can it be to serve already made cold food? "Sorry" for giving you business. The attitude was: "what do you want?" At the end, the server asked is there anything else? I showed her I had picked out some bakery so she could ring everything up together. She replied nastily "no your food". Food was really salty. And no I didn't add any sauces, I had it on the side. Didn't even use the sauce cause the food had enough salt to make you prune up for the day. After I finished I felt so thirsty I thought there was MSG in my meal. You must win over so many customers with your crap service and salty food. read more

This review is strictly for their milk tea - didn't try any of their poke and their selection to me looks okay at best (I prefer to get my poke in Carson at Poke etc). A couple of us stopped by post lunch at Lemonade because I've always wanted to try milk tea from Flour+Tea. I've had their location closer to Old Town Pas bookmarked forever but never had an opportunity to actually try it. Their environment is very clean and cute. One line for ordering tea/breads and another line for ordering your poke bowl. They assemble it via Chipotle style and the price looks reasonable. Onto the actual drinks: they have a decent selection of milk tea, other types of tea and frost-teas (like slushies). We tried a large iced almond black milk tea and green milk tea with regular sugar. With the 10% off of regular priced drinks from the Yelp check in, both drinks came out to be around $8 something.They definitely use high quality tea for their drinks but I usually prefer my drinks a lot sweeter (we had ordered regular sweetness for our drinks). They happily obliged when I asked them to sweeten my drink more which made the taste acceptable. I may just have to resign to the fact that I prefer my milk tea to be much much sweeter (personal preference thing). Parking: I think there's a lot one can park for free during nights and weekends? I just park in the lot across the street (where Veggie Grill and Chipotle is located) and walk over. read more

Poke bowls and the like are so popular and one of my favorite lunch spots. I was eager to try this place for weeks and finally stopped by. I ordered a small bowl which includes two scoops of the protein. The portions are fairly generous but taste-wise wasn't spectacular. I also noticed that the avocado add on is now in the form of "avocado paste" rather than cut avocado wedges. I will probably give it another try again and try other proteins such as the highly raved salmon. Parking: behind the restaurant with entrance from Hudson. read more

How can you go wrong with boba and poke? It's a great build a bowl poke place. Served over rice (brown or white) or salad with your choice of protein. Standard protein are ahi tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, and bay scallops. They also have a daily special (albacore, blue crab, and others depending on the day. Not too many toppings but I think that is for the best to not taint the fish. Some toppings are corn, sea weed, masago, and guacamole. Their standard milk tea is pretty good but get it at reduced sugar (50% or 25%). Service was really friendly and quick. I will definitely have to come back and add this to my weekly lunch rotation. read more

Despite some negative reviews I decided to brave Flour and Tea and see if the place was as legit as their average 4 stars. Definitely a competitor of PokeNoya, the only other poke place in the vicinity (around the corner on Colorado), Flour and Tea Poke is a bit bland in comparison at its execution of the poke bowl. They are comparable in price, but PokeNoya, I believe has an edge on Flour and Tea in terms of taste. With that said, the service is definitely faster than PokeNoya. I like poke and wouldn't mind coming back when there's a long wait at PokeNoya. read more

PokeMIX - Medium Poke Bowl with half brown rice and half mixed greens. Protein = shrimp, ahi tuna chunks, and spicy tuna. - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

I liked the poke bowl here. The salmon and tuna seemed fresh but I would have preferred it without the onions, but that's just my preference. The guy, who might be the owner, was friendly and explained some of their sauces. Although I can't complain about the food here, I actually do prefer pokenoya which is right around the corner around 200 yards away but that's just my preference. read more

Run away if you're here for Poke. Fish wasn't fresh, sauces were bland, and even the vegetables were off.

This is definitely my go to poke stop. The portion is super generous and the flavor is awesome. I would highly recommend this place.

Pretty good bowls, Delicious and fresh. Finished order didn't take too long and the service was friendly. read more

Cute place! Nice and roomy interior to give you lots of elbow space to sit and chit chat. Pokemix was one of the first poke places to pop up in Pasadena (wow, say that fast three times). Initially I stopped in a few weeks after their soft opening, and ordered a combo atop salad to-go. Maybe it was the salad, or the seasoning of the scallops, or maybe bc they were still new, but it tasted like straight up seawater. Fast forward a couple months; my coworker and I came here for lunch, and I got the combo atop rice with salmon and tuna. Big difference! The fish were well marinaded without being overpowering. I like ahi poke where you can still taste the fish and not just all the sauces and stuff they mix it with, like some other poke places. One great thing about Pokemix is that you have the ability to couple your poke bowl with a great mixed tea drink! They're the same owners as Flour & Tea down on Arroyo and Cordova, so the same quality of drinks also transferred with this shop. Oh, and they allow extra imitation crab and seaweed salad toppings at no additional charge! EDIT: they now charge for imitation crab salad (as a meat option), but seaweed salad is still free of charge, and now they have edamame free of charge. read more

The employees here are very nice and the food is good! They make it very quickly, great spot for lunch pickup. Also, I eat gluten free for my health and have never had a problem with cross-contamination in my orders. I make a note about it in my pickup order. I do not have celiac, but my kids do. It is very tidy and they pay attention, so I would probably allow my kids to eat here, if they ever wanted to. read more

I wanted to try one of the poke (raw fish) shops that are spouting up everywhere. You walk in and you let them know that you want poke. Then you build your own poke. For the small I selected two fish -- salmon and ahi tuna with half greens and brown rice. Then you get to choose your sides and toppings including garlic chips, sesame. You can also get one of their teas with their combo deal right now. I nice option if you're in the Pasadena area and in the mood for poke. There's another place in the area that I haven't tried yet, but I read some mixed reviews so I chose this one. The owner mentioned that their chef is Hawaiian Japanese. read more

PokeMIX - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Yessssss!!! This is seriously a gem in Pasadena and I'm very glad that I saw the flour and tea sign while driving by! PokeMix by Flour & Tea is on the west side of Lake -- across from Lemonade. Parking could be a bit challenging during peak hours, but there are free lots nearby. PokeMix is a build your own bowl style restaurant. There are three sizes to choose from - Small, Medium, and Large. The larger the size, the more protein scoops you get. You first choose your base - white rice, brown rice, or salad (you can also mix these). Then you choose your protein. I tried almost all their protein except the crab meat. All of the proteins were fresh, but the scallops are my favorite, and the spicy tuna ain't too shabby either. You then can add some toppings and sauce. I don't know exactly what putting in my bowl, but I get all of it and add the wasabi and some mayo... and it's freaking delicious. I wish the scoops were bigger, but I'm pretty sure it's just me who thinks this. You won't find a vast selection of pastries or drink like the original f&t, but there are a few good drinks here that does not disappoint. The hibiscus tea with boba is a nice refresher! Credit Cards accepted! read more

One of my favorite Poke spots for sure. I'm always here on lunch break, it's a problem. Guaranteed to get good food and good service. One thing I noticed is that those rice is always fresh and warm. Some places serve hard and cold rice but this place keeps a good rep with their fresh rice and fish of course. These ppl just know how to do it up and they know how I love my EXTRA sesame seeds. I also go for their Shamrock Green tea boba drink too. It's a blend of Kiwi, Green Tea and awesomeness. Easy to get obsessed so be careful :) read more

I used to come here all the time with my partner, but returned today to find that staff changed, sizes are different, fish is different (unmarinated, change in color and lustre) and thinking nothing of it ordered my usual for lunch today. I've spent the last three hours with nausea and the last ten minutes throwing up. I might have mild food poisoning, and needless to say I will no longer be returning. I assume ownership changed. In any case, not the place it used to be. read more
