I've only ever ordered boba from F+T until today I was craving poke. I came in around 4-5pm during happy hour. Mia provided the best customer service I've experienced in awhile. As soon as I walked in, she stopped cleaning, greeted me and promptly explained my food choices. The ahi tuna bowl she made me didn't skimp on any food and she clearly explained all my topping options with patience. The bowl itself was yummy and filling. She also got me a drink upgrade during happy hour and a stamp card started. I ordered a passion fruit green tea with boba & half sugar that was promptly made. It was really nice to be served by someone that was efficient and warm in a professional way. read more

Food was way too salty. They don't have a great selection of fish or veggies. Employees were nice. I don't think I'll be coming here anytime soon. read more

I've only gotten this delivered by a courier service but the Poke is top notch. I never have an MSG dehydration reaction here and the fish is fresh, the rice fluffy, and the toppings plenty. I loved Flour+Tea at their old location and can't wait to visit this new one. read more

I've been here twice and both times I left feeling pretty poked and bothered. The first time I came here, I was on a poke mission because I decided I wanted to try all of the poke places in my nearby vicinity (bold move considering I live in Highland Park and very close to the San Gabriel Valley). The portions are on the larger side when you compare them to more "upscale" poke restaurants that are situated in the more bustling areas of Los Angeles. However, the fish just doesn't taste that fresh or well-marinated. They also don't have a great selection of add-ins when it comes to veggies, nor do they even toss or mix the bowls once they add the sauce in. Which I feel like is the least you can do if you're gonna charge me like $2 for some tiny scoop of guac. The second time I came here was only because it was Halloween and there was absolutely no convenient parking for Spinfish. Walked in and there was literally no one else in there aside from the 2 employees. As soon as I walked in, the girl at the counter asks "What can I get for you?" I'm just standing there dumbfounded like girl, chill out I just stepped in, can I look at your menu and choices for maybe 2 seconds? We had the intention of eating in but my boyfriend and I just kept getting weird vibes because since it was Halloween it was obvious that these employees were miserable and just didn't want to be there (understandable, but you're getting paid to be here so be at least somewhat pleasant). Also, we walked in mid-conversation about how they were partying the other night or something and we really don't want to be eating lunch in an empty restaurant listening to your ratchet Halloween party stories. read more

The food was good. The rating is for Andrew, the unfortunate kid at the counter. Andrew, when the customer paid for an extra protein on Grubhub and you can't figure it out from the paperwork, it's not the customer's fault - so don't be abusive or impatient. You were both. When the customer tells you (first thing when she walks up!) that you got paid for a large + 1 extra protein and that the only way to do this on the app is by paying for 2 random extras in order to give the store an extra $2, and you somehow DO NOT HEAR THIS, don't blame the customer 10 minutes later when she repeats herself and you finally choose to listen. Kid, this is not the right job for you. Any job where you have to interact with customers cheerfully and nicely, is not for you. Good luck in life. If you were a stock, I would short you. read more

My boyfriend and I came in this weekend for poke bowls. The service was AMAZING. The server immediately walked us through the process and offered many suggestions. She also gave us free samples of tea and recommended the special tea of the day, the Firefly, which is my absolute new favorite. I hate reviews that gush like this, but we truly had a great experience. We will absolutely be back. read more

I always love coming here. Their teas are amazing and the bowls are always delicious. I like getting the house sauce with the peanut sesame oil. I always try and bring new friends to this place and they haven't disappointed! read more

I am so in love with this place it's so adorable! Super sweet staff, and delicious food! I could eat poki everyday, and they have really good tea lattes too! You will not be disappointed:) read more

Enter the cheerfully decorated store front and enjoy the attention to detail - from the spacious interior to the beautifully cubed fish and cucumber half moons. Healthy and delicious selections include freshest seafood, healthy farm-fresh additions, and freshly-prepared sauces to pour over the array of condiments. I thoroughly enjoyed treating myself to hearty and healthy goodness, and especially adding one of Flour+Tea's carefully-paired signature teas to complement the tasty meal. Seriously satisfied, I made sure to bring back one of their generous and delicious pastries for a great treat. Another gem in Flour + Tea's crown has arrived. 99 Lake St. has a large parking lot in back - a very good a plus, once the word gets out about PokeMix. read more

I'm quite shocked as normally what can go wrong with a poke bowl right? Wrong. I'm planning on coming back sometime this week and give it a try again, because it was simply terrible! The rice was dried, the toppings seemed like given by using a measuring spoon, I can literally count how many sesame seeds were on top of my bowl, not to mention the one-bite-then-gone seafood salad. There are many competitors out there, if this place kept going on like this, I don't think I'm the only one who's disappointed. read more

i accidently ordered poke from here instead of Poke Salad Bar on my eat24 ap. I've had this once and was very disappointed with their quality of fish and their difficulty in finding parking and would have never gone back... except i picked the wrong restaurant today. The tuna tasted so bad i couldnt eat more then two pieces and the salmon felt like it was sitting there for hours. Granted, i was supposed to pick up at 1230 but because of the mixup, I didnt get there until 1... maybe that explains the strange texture of the fish. Either way, I wouldn't go back.. spinfish and poke fish bar are far more superior than this place. read more

Ive only had this place from door dash and unfortunately its the only Poke place offered through door dash. The first time around was so/so.. I noticed that they kinda skimped me on the 4 scoops of fish the large bowl is supposed to come with. I had the peanut sauce and didnt care for it. Second time around I ordered the large again and no peanut sauce and its great but again, I feel very skimped out on the serving portion. Taste is fine..fish is a little warm and really fishyy but I still eat it. I feel like the bowl is LOADED with rice but not much of the fix ins. I am tempted to go in one day and see if its a little different in person. Until then I only have to rate 2 stars. read more

I've been here 3 times in the last week. I prefer this place over spin fish, pokinometry and poke poke. And the best part, it's 5 minutes away from my house. Tons of options, fresh fish and great service will keep me coming back. read more

My sister brought me here to eat a poke bowl and I really quite enjoyed this place. It's a make your own bowl and you watch them make the bowl as you walk down the line. You can choose small, medium or large for the main protein. You can mix and match your proteins also! Everything tasted pretty fresh and clean. read more

This is my go to place for the perfect Soy chai latte!! I love their happy hour so you get to upgrade to a large for the price of a small. I have tried their shrimp and rice ball and a poke bowl and the fish was fresh tasting. Every time I go in the staff is very friendly and it is clean! read more

This review is only for the poke. Absolutely the worst Ive ever had. Spicy tuna, salmon, and scallops that were obviously too old. Parts of the spicy tuna were browning and had a strange sour taste! The salmon was hard and chewy. Very limited options as well. Go elsewhere for poke. read more

PROS: -the food here is BOMB. Good selection of fresh poke and lots of different kinds of toppings. -all the teas I've tried were pretty good as well. -parking is right in front and I've rarely had trouble finding a spot. -if you dont like your tea, they will gladly add more sweetener or make a new one for you. CONS: -their set up for what line you stand in is kind of weird. You're supposed to stand in one line for a bowl or a separate one for a drink... If you choose to stand in one for the bowl and tell them that you want a drink as well they make the drink after theyre finally done with making your bowl... Ive seen that they usually have enough people staffed where someone can be making your drink while your bowl is being made at the same time. -they are pretty cheap about how much fish/toppings/rice/salad they give you. This place isnt exactly cheap for a lunch spot (about $15-$17 for a med bowl + large tea). They need to not be so cheap about the toppings or the fish. The employees seem to be making sure they give you the bare minimum of fish when theyre scooping) -some of the employees are slow when building your bowl... I'm sure lots of people come here on their lunch break, they dont want to spend their lunch waiting for you to slowly put together their bowl. -they usually have a lunch special but with a limited selection of drinks. I wish they would just let you choose any drink (obvi w out boba). Does it really cost that much more to let the customer get any drink they want for the lunch special combo?! All in all, I dont come here as much as I would want to because of the price and how cheap they are about things. I'm fine with the price but don't cheap with all of the poke and toppings. read more

Delicious poke and great service! The poke I had was fresh and their house sauce is the best, I was happy that they served the same delicious drinks as they do at Flour and Tea. read more

Horrible. Spicy tuna was clearly preground, mushy, and flavorless. Salmon was okay. Other bowl ingredients weren't fresh. Milk tea used low quality tea leaves (maybe powder, who knows). read more

came here for some poke since I was in the area. got a small half salad half brown rice with salmon and tuna. the special of the day, albacore was out. topped it off with some cucumber slices, seaweed, sesame seeds and chili sauce. service was not great at all. ordering is like an assembly line going down their food items, but as i was saying what I wanted, they were not even paying attention to me and was chit chatting instead. I had to repeat myself literally 5 times...not too happy. overall poke was decent. read more

This review is for Pokemix not the tea (which is excellent, but let's say flour and tea is separate). I love poke, but unfortunately this did not hit the spot. The setup is similar to Pokinometry where you build your own, but the execution needs work. First of all, my poke bowl was warm! This is not great with raw fish... the scallops were a tad fishy as well and the spicy tuna was not so spicy. Second, the bowl was quite bland. The fish and sides were distributed on top the rice (but NOT MIXED) and the sauce was squirted on top. This resulted in the whole bowl being very bland and the sauce lacked in flavor severely. I wanted more sauce but my rice was already saturated and I didn't want it to look soggy. Third, the side toppings need work. All the side vegetables need seasoning or some pickling to add some flavor. The edamame option is very weird bc it adds a strange mushy texture to the bite. The people who worked here were super nice and helpful but unfortunately, the food didn't cut it. The $2 add on for a tea with the poke is a nice touch. read more

Came here after going to Pokinometry hoping it was something like it but was disappointed. The concept seemed the same but wasn't. The add ons and the mix is not the same. The quality isn't as good and it's more expensive. The service was nothing to rave about either. We came here half an hour before closing so they ran out of seaweed and I asked if I could add avocado. She said they ran out, but I saw 2 avocados sitting on the cutting board. Probably won't be coming back. read more

I'm a small girl and after getting the "4 scoops large" bowl I left hungry. Portions here are small, and everything is "extra." Prices are high: $11.99 for the large bowl, with 4 "scoops" of fish. Each scoop is half the size of Spinfish (imagine a tablespoon, then double it - that is a "scoop" here). If you want hamachi / yellowtail, $1.50 on top of the bowl price. If you want some avocado, another $1.00. If you want more than one dressing on the side, that is also extra. If you want a little more of the non-fish topping, also an extra charge. Everything they can imagine you might want, they charge extra for. Before you know it, your bowl is $15.00; for that price, I can go to a sit down sushi bar at lunch. All of the "extras" I just described at Spinfish is free. No parking facility, so you have to find metered parking on Lake. I came here because although it is close enough to Spinfish, it was more convenient to where I had to be afterwards, and I figured the difference had to be small. I was wrong - even if I am going right next door, I'll go the few blocks to Spinfish. I won't be back. The price is too high and the value is too low. Too many other poke establishments hitting it out of the park in Pasadena. read more

Love this place! Generous portions and love the clean feeling modern decor. I never feel cramped in here! And... Boba :)

I never thought I'd ever have a less-than-great bowl of poke until now. The one I had delivered from Pokemix came sad-looking with less toppings than standard (compared to Pokenoya, Poke Bar, Poke Salad Bar, Snociety--yes I love my poke). So not only do they offer fewer topping choices, they scrimp on them too). The fish was fresh, but the spicy mayo sauce was so bland I had to put more wasabi to compensate. I got my salmon fix, it filled me up, but I won't order again. Fortunately there are plenty other places in Pasadena with superior poke. read more

I Really suggest this poke place! The people that worked there were so friendly and nice, always has a smile on there face overall great customer service. read more

This is my favorite poké place. The fish is fresh and I am satisfied after every meal. Everyone in the restaurant is so welcoming and nice. There is nothing bad I can say about this place. 5/5 read more

Generously two stars because it's about customer service just as much as the food. Another businessperson (David Wang, owner) trying to ride the wave of poke popularity. Completely lacking the sense of aloha and 'ohana, yet label themselves as a Hawaiian eatery (per business card). Because we had a Flour + Tea gift card, we visited PokeMix by Flour + Tea. At the "register," we handed the owner our $25 gift card and a dollar bill (to cover the difference). The owner made multiple card swipes, because he claimed the card had a zero balance. At one point, he asked if there was $100 on the card. (Having knowledge of the gift card purchase, I informed him that Flour + Tea issued a total of four $25 cards.) After more attempts, he realized why the card didn't work. He said the card is for Flour + Tea at his other location on Arroyo. We asked how we were suppose to distinguish between the two establishments, especially since he couldn't tell the difference between cards? His employee pointed-out the PokeMix fish logo. We mentioned the "Flour + Tea" signage is what we saw online and went by. The owner said that he can't control the internet. Well, yes he can... He needs to begin by getting his signage correct and precise; simply decide the name of the business or businesses. From the street on Lake Avenue, the business is clearly only "Flour + Tea" on the building. He also has control of his Facebook account; change the Cover Photo which also appears to be solely the "Flour + Tea" building on Lake. The South Lake Organization website also shows "Flour + Tea" - no PokeMix. (In addition, be certain to clearly inform gift card buyers of how the cards can be redeemed.) It doesn't get better. We eventually paid by credit card and asked for our gift card and $1 back. We dined-in. As we got up from the table to depart, the owner approached us to explain he THINKS the credit card transaction didn't go through; he saw no record. He asked for our credit card and was trying to explain why "my mind isn't here today." By now, we were beyond frustrated with the owner, especially when he wouldn't take the credit card to rerun before repeatedly asking, "Do you accept my apology?" (David Wang, You shouldn't demand a customer's acceptance. Plus, it wasn't an apology; you gave us a list of excuses. One being you have two kids under two at home. Yes, parenthood is demanding and a huge responsibility, but they didn't make the errors and decisions this day. You did. You need to own your mistakes. We understand mistakes happen, but you did nothing, as an owner, to make our experience any better. Your ways conveyed you want money, not customers. You appeared to be driven by greed.) Another unbelievable owner comment as we exited: We were in the parking lot and the owner comes running-out waving a dollar bill. He said he forgot to give us our dollar. We reminded him we had to ask him for it and he already returned it. (Okay, maybe a failed attempt to show honesty.) What he could have done at the initial transaction: Accepted the gift card (since he already had the money) or offered us our Aloha canned drinks on-the-house. After he realized he incorrectly processed our credit card: Generously told us the transaction didn't go through, but the meal was on-the-house or offered us some discount. (After all, if we had chosen to take-out, we would have been gone anyways.) In my mind, his goal was to collect money. Had he tried to redeem our poor visit, we would have been gracious and returned with family and friends. David Wang, as errors accumulated, sadly you made no attempt to leave us desiring to return. In an odd attempt to distract from matters or in your nervousness, you turned to ask if I liked the food. As I opened this review... It's not the food alone that determines recommendations or return visits. It's the entire experience; they go hand-in-hand. You need to treat customers respectfully, kindly and generously. People first and your business has a better chance to flourish. There are many excellent restaurants deserving of my dollars. In the area, there's SpinFish and Costco, specifically, for poke. The poke was fair, no flavor. The cucumbers were extremely bitter. The indoor sitting area was clean and modern. But whether this establishment is "PokeMix by Flour + Tea" or "Flour + Tea," either way, we are disappointed it failed to win our aloha. Update: In viewing PokeMix's Yelp photos, I repeatedly see long-term building business signs using only "Flour + Tea" and cups with text simply "Flour + Tea." It seems to me, the owner uses the "Flour + Tea" logo at his convenience. Yet his gift card policy is inconvenient to customers and benefits himself. Misleading. Very fishy. read more

PokeMIX - Lake Avenue "PokeMix by Flour + Tea" per owner. He claims this is not "Flour + Tea" (that's on Arroyo). He owns both. Signage is unclear. - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

My favorite tea house! I'm come here whenever I'm working in Pasadena. Highly recommend the peach hibiscus tea with aloe Vera. Warning, very addictive . They are also known for their fresh poke bowls. The staff and owners are so friendly and professional! read more

This place is heaven on earth, where angels serve you delicious bowls of fish. I used to work on Lake Avenue and this was always one of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner. I recommend the ahi tuna and salmon, and be sure to add poke sauce and guac. You will not be disappointed. The staff is courteous and upbeat, making for an overall positive experience. read more

Love there poke bowls, tea, and cookies. The main thing I love about it is the high-quality. I don't eat poke bowls and anywhere else because I don't think it's fresh enough. Poke bowls are unique because it's all wrong ingredients and freshness is paramount. The cookies and tea seal the deal. I have gone probably 30 times according to my stamp cards. read more

Always excellent service by wonderful staff , I come here just for my ice lichee green tea , made just perfect to my request of less sweetness read more

Even with being short staffed, service was great and very friendly! A small bowl was more than enough for me, and the boba was the perfect sweetness. Is it the fanciest place in the world? No- but it's delicious at a great price. (Bonus- location was very clean!) I have a feeling I'll be back here! read more

So many poke places now. I used to just make my own but now that I can go somewhere and order a bowl for about $9 I am pretty much a converted poke buyer. PokeMix has hamachi, ahi, spicy tuna, scallops, salmon... all great. I usually get the ahi and spicy tuna small bowl with rice. Sometimes greens. But mostly rice. I top mine with seaweed salad, masago, garlic chips and spicy mayo. Throw a little wasabi in there too. I like PokeMix because I never feel gross after eating their bowls. Sometimes poke can be a bit overwhelming especially in large portions so I am really like their portion control here. Staff are friendly and I like they've got a range of good tea drinks as well. Parking can be somewhat of a pain only because it's in a prime spot on Lake, but I am lucky enough to work walking distance away. read more

Great poke but the portions are ridiculously small. I would come here more often if they were more generous.

I don't like poke, so this review is based only on the boba tea drinks. I used to love coming to flour+tea when it was still a bakery and boba place. Their boba tea drinks are amazing. They taste authentic and the staff can adjust the sweetness level for you until it's perfect. The drinks have a strong tea flavor, which I love. Come between 4-6 pm and you get a free upgrade to a large. read more

We are long-time fans of Flour + Tea, and were very excited when told of their new venture. Came in this weekend and had lunch. The poke is really fresh and flavorful. (They've tweaked their recipes even since opening, so earlier reviewers should try again.) We left full and happy - not a single complaint! read more

I can't believe this place is still in business!!! PokeMix by Flour + Tea is more expensive and less tasty than other poke joint in Pasadena. Depends on who scoops the bowl, you may get only half the bowl, rather than full portion. Owners give you attitude for any type of complaints. Small poke (2 scoops) bowl is 8.99 and medium is (3 scoops) 10.99. Portions are not great and taste is below average. read more

Flour & Tea Poke Mix... Where have you been all my life? Awesome pure protein for pre-or post workout! Lots of options for Additions or go for plain and simple, what ever you do they are terrific and the food is great and not too pricey. Add in some special green tea with a touch of honey and you are golden! Love this place! And David the owner is a cutie pie! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The staff is beyond amazing. I love Jessica! I went in feeling so sick and she made me the perfect tea to make me feel better. David and his brother are always so nice. The food is amazing! Always fresh and very generous portions. By far my favorite restaurant on Lake Ave. read more
