I have been craving poke bowls for the last few weeks. I saw PokeMix on Lake Ave in Pasadena and said BINGO! I was hooked. Staff was super friendly. Atmosphere was nice and comfy. Good space with lots of inside seating. Besides poke bowls, they also sell boba drinks. They have a small water station available for customers. They even sell some trinkets or something of the like. Here is how it works... bowl is one size, but the number of scoops of fishes and seafood come in 3 sizes. Small $12.99 = 2 scoops, Medium $14.99 = 3 scoops, Large $16.99 = 4 scoops. An extra scoop is $2 per scoop. Go for the Large! I did and so glad I did... it was very very tasty and delicious! I got half brown rice and half salad as my base plus Ahi Tuna, Salmon, and Scallop with all the wet and dry toppings mixed with House Poke, Eel, and Spicy Miso sauces. I thought I would take some poke home, but I couldn't stop eating it and before I knew it, it was all gone in my tummy LOL. Please note they have limited selection of fishes and toppings, but still adequate for a great poke bowl. Before I left, I was curious about their tea drinks. I ended up getting a medium Green Milk Tea with mango jelly. It was good, but a tad more bitter than I would have preferred. I asked for no ice, but still got ice. No big deal... I just scooped the ice out. I definitely recommend this place. I know I'll be back for more great tasting poke bowl!

I had a spicy tuna rice ball and a smoothie. Both soothed the soul.

It’s your typical build your own poké bowl place. Parking is terrible.

I was excited to try this although this place after visiting Huntington garden and I was craving for poke bowl. Parking was difficult but my order came out fast. However i was disappointed as the ahi tuna did not seem to be fresh. The salmon was okay. Also no wasabi or chopsticks were included. I think these should be included without being asked. I have had much better poke bowl than this one.

I was having the worst day ever at work and I needed something really tasty. I decided to come here for a poke bowl. I'd never had a custom bowl so when I came in on my lunch(feeling hectic and rushed), the cashier Josh was so helpful with advising what to eat. I got a standard bowl, with salmon and ahi tuna- also house sauce. I was parked in the15 minute area because really worried about getting a ticket, when Josh brought my bowl out to me!! That was above and beyond, and I was so grateful I accidentally said "I love you"... lol so cringe. Anyways, Josh and everyone here is great and the food is great!! The parking is difficult but it's seriously worth it!
This review is long overdue. Compliments to Chef Jay for yet another amazing concept.The poke bowls are amazing, and I love how I can come by for a light snack, a full meal, or just a cup of fresh tea.After living in Hawai'i for a few years, I'm happy that PokeMIX is here to remind me to the delicious poke that I used to eat all the time on island.

This is such an adorable little place. I didn't do ANY research before stopping by here, yes, it was an impulsive poke calling. I love the adorable owners, especially the wife-- she is so anime like in the cutest way. I love their little store with a fun fishy station. The sashimi is very much what you'd expect from seeing them through the glass. The albacore does look kind of sad. But adorable owners nonetheless. The drinks are interesting. I love their choice of kids. So many options for straws and no straws.

Aside from poke bowl offerings, this place offers it in sushi triangles as well! Imagine all the goodness in a compact, to go form! They make it fresh, based on the preset combinations that you choose.The drinks are not as good as the food. If you are looking for fresh ingredients, friendly owners who make the food, you will be happy with this place!

Great experience with the food selections. Especially appreciated that the shop had closed (around 4 minutes early) but reopened (unlocked doors and unpacked foods) to prepare a great(!) Poke bowl. My husband rushed to get there for the food so he was very happy and grateful.We WILL return... for food and service.
