I came through because I have walked through this little alley with friends and always see this tiny little cat-logo sushi shop. I came by on a whim expecting some fast foody simple rolls which would have been fine. But I was surprised when the salmon roll came out, and it was immediately obvious the fish was really nice quality and the roll looked as good as some of my favorite sushi restaurants. Very impressed!

This place is awesome! Great quality fish. I’ve had their rolls and poke bowls but their sushi burritos are my favorite. Staff is always nice too!

This is our go-to poke spot in Pasadena. After my husband and I came back from our honeymoon in Hawaii, we were craving both poke and spam masubi and this place fit the bill. The seafood is very fresh and the portions are perfect. The spam masubi with purple rice is amazing! I've been there probably over 20 times and the service is always good. They have a punch card if you're a frequent flier. There are a few tables inside and outside if you're interested in dining in.

Super cute poki place! I checked in and got a free ice tea! (my order was over $30)I ordered the Chiriashi over rice. Which was so delicious and pretty! Love it. It was just what I wanted. Comes with a purple rice (black and white rice mix with sushi rice and vinegar + salt + sugar)So delicious! I am so much a fan!!No line on a Monday at 1:00. I beat the lunch rush I guess!Parking is in a structure next door that you'll have to pay for.

Wonderful little shop that sells poke and musubis! Personally I don't eat poke a lot but I come here frequently for their musubis. What makes this spot more unique than other locations is that they make the rice using purple rice! It's a nice little Korean twist to a dish that I really enjoy.My personal favorite is the ol-pa mu 3 (Spam + krab + baked eel). The purple rice gives the musubi a new texture that I wouldn't find at your traditional musubi / poke shop. The people who work here are really friendly and I've never had a problem with the service here.The interior isn't too big so I would recommend taking your food to-go if you're a large party. This is one of my go-to lunch spots during the workday because the food isn't too heavy and the food comes out fast!Would highly recommend this to folks who love musubi and purple rice!

If you're a fan of poke bowls, you have to try this spot! They have an amazing selection of toppings and sauces, and everything is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend!

I was craving poke so time to use the Grubhub membership I have through Amazon. Stumbled upon this place and the reviews were good so I gave it a shot.I went with a regular salmon and yellowtail poke bowl with purple rice. All of the other ingredients are included in one of the pix. I found this bowl size to be quite a generous portion for one person. The fish pieces were small, however, and I've had bowls from other places with more fish. Also to note, some of the salmon had skin on it but it was easily removable. Everything tasted fresh and you're provided with various choices of ingredients to add to your bowl. My only complaint was that the sauce could not be tasted except on the rice. All in all, it satisfied the craving but this isn't a place that I'm going to seek out to visit again other than for convenience.

Great little spot in Pasadena for some fresh poke! I walked here for a mid-day break and pick-up some lunch to-go. + Hibiscus lemonade - very refreshing and not too sweet!+ Tamago musubi - made to order, tomago was nice, just enough furikake seasoning and the spam was nicely toasted. I then got the BYO Poke Bowl regular ($19.99) + extra protein ($2)+ Base (pick 1 option): half salad, half purple rice+ Protein (pick 2): Spicy salmon and scallop + added some yellowtail - these were fresh!+ Extras (unlimited): I always get seaweed, lots of the veggies, and ginger+ Sauces (unlimited): I can't remember everything I got, but I kept adding more and it surprisingly all worked together!+ Toppings (unlimited)There's currently a Yelp check-in offer for a free tea with $30 purchase. I was trying to get there with what I ordered and there was a little mix up so we forgoed the offer and everything I got was about $31, which isn't bad for the amount you get. Would come back!

I ordered a regular size poke bowl from here and it was huge! Everything in it was super fresh and delicious. I got the spicy salmon with spicy tuna and a ton of toppings. They had a massive selection of combinations so you can make it exactly to your liking. My order was ready super quick. Great service. I liked how you were able to sub different kinds of rice and salad for the base. The regular can work as two meals depending on how hungry you are. The left overs were still good the next day. Definitely going back to try other stuff on the menu and to get the poke bowl again. So worth it and for the price I thought it was affordable because you get so much food. Definitely would recommend to anyone who likes a good poke bowl.
Went here for a quick to-go dinner. Small cute location with limited seating. I got a regular size bowl with half purple rice and half salad. I only got salmon and it was fresh. I also love that avocado is included as part of the sides - no extra charge. The portion is fair and the price is high. This is the most I've paid for a regular size poke bowl. Overall, it was super tasty and I would come back again if I was in the area.

I don’t have enough great things to say about roll factory! I’ve been coming here for weeks and the quality of the food never disappoints. I highly recommend their spam avocado musubi. The purple rice is a great touch. If you’re looking for a great place for sushi in old town, look no further!

I am not sure why it took me so long to try Roll Factory, but my husband and I both went in recently and ordered Poke Bowls to go. Both of the individuals who took our orders were incredibly sweet and patient while we struggled with our indecisiveness. I am very picky with poke and am usually not easily impressed, but these poke bowls were really good! The fish was super fresh, the toppings were delicious, their signature purple rice is AMAZING, and they have so many yummy sauces to decide from. I did not have any of the regular sushi rolls, but I can imagine given our experience with the poke bowls that the sushi would be just as good. One thing I did note on the menu is that they charge about $14 dollars, give or take, for a 8 piece Philly roll, which is a little steep for a basic roll like that in my opinion, but I thought the poke bowl was a great value! I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to dine-in here. There isn't too much indoor space, but there is beautiful patio seating in the courtyard if someone wanted to sit outside.
