They are known for their Poke Bowl, but I walked out with two Spam Musubi…read more The Spam Musubi is under the Specialty Item list. It was $3.99 for one, or two for $7. With tax it came out to $7.74, and I tipped $2 for the excellent service. Now the backstory: I only had 15 minutes to grab food and eat before running back next door for my appointment. I walked in and was greeted and helped instantly. I was helped by a female staff member with a blond pixie cut (if I remember correctly). I had been walking around in the sun, so when I walked into their store I felt pretty dizzy from the heat, and the board looked blurry to me. Therefore, I didn't even bother to look at the menu board. I told her I would need something quick, and I didn't have the stomach for a Poke Bowl. I asked her if she had any ramen. She kindly walked me through the different types of ramen instead of telling me to look at the menu board. I then picked the udon she mentioned. When she walked to the ramen station to make the udon, I checked whether that would leave me enough time to eat, since I only had 10 to 15 minutes. She said no, the udon would take a while. I asked, what about the ramen? Wouldn't that be quick, just adding water? She answered no, it would take the same amount of time. Then she mentioned the only quick one is the Poke Bowl, and I told her I wasn't feeling Poke at the time. She then gave me two other options, and one was the Spam Musubi. She stated those were premade and a quick bite. She asked how many I wanted. I checked if it came individually wrapped. She confirmed yes and told me the price of each, $3.99, or two for $7. I chose two. She grabbed them for me and rang me up. She asked if I needed chopsticks, and I nodded. I looked at her with a grateful heart and said, "Thank you for your patience." She smiled and said, "You're good." That was very nice of her to take her time with me. I will return and try their Poke Bowl next time. By the way, I cannot fully vouch for the Spam Musubi, because I was starving when I had them. I had been walking around Old Pasadena in the sun for hours with only a Pink Dragon in me. By the time I ate the Spam Musubi, I was starving and in a rush. They did satisfy the hunger. The Spam Musubi are a great choice for something quick, affordable, and easy to eat on the go.

I will DEFINITELY be coming here again. SERVICE The service was fast, and the food was fire. They even had purple rice as an option which maybe I'll try another time. I also enjoyed the dining area having a tucked away space for me to enjoy my food. HONORABLE MENTION I even saw they serve instant ramen which was different lol. AMBIANCE It had vibey music playing in the background and the staff were chill.

Fish King is one of those places that reminds you why fresh seafood makes all the difference…read more We got three poke options--salmon, dynamite tuna, and scallops--and every single one was a winner. The salmon was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth good, the dynamite tuna brought just the right amount of spice and flavor, and the scallops were incredibly fresh, sweet, creamy, and tender. It's hard to pick a favorite when they're all this good! To balance out all the fresh seafood, we also ordered the fried onion rings and fried zucchini. Both came out perfectly golden and crispy, adding that satisfying crunch to the meal. What really stood out was that even after being fried, you could still taste the natural sweetness of the onions and zucchini. They weren't greasy at all--just light, crisp, and dangerously easy to keep snacking on. Between the quality of the seafood and the delicious sides, it's easy to see why Fish King has such a loyal following. Whether you're stopping by for poke, fresh fish, or just craving some seriously good seafood, this spot is always worth the trip. I'll definitely be back for more!

I love their soba noodles and I don't know what it is but all others don't taste as good. You can mix between salad, soba noodles and rice and they have a lot of options for protein and toppings. They also have some sodas and other drinks. Inside they have tables and nearby there's a 90 minute free parking. Definitely my favorite poke spot and have yet to find a better spot.

This place is a bit hidden in an alleyway, but I love poké so when this popped up on my Yelp search…read moreI knew I wanted to try it. Fair warning, they do not have white rice available. It's only purple or brown rice, which is a healthier option, but I understand it's not for everyone. I got the regular size poké bowl with purple rice, and it's cooked perfectly that it has a fluffy texture very similar to white rice's. What I really liked about this place is that they mix your sauces with the protein in a separate mixing bowl before putting it into your poké bowl. Most poké places I've been too won't do this as an extra step - they'll just drizzle a bunch of sauce that sometimes the dry ingredients gets drenched and soggy. As for the fish itself, the portions are very fair, and the quality is good. They gave a pretty generous amount of avocado as well, which was very fresh, and you do not have to pay extra for it. Rarely do I come across a poké restaurant that does this.

It had the perfect amount of sweetness from the cake to the marachino cherry to the scrumptious caramelized pineapple. The only downside, dare I write "upside downside," was that the cake was slightly overcooked as it was a tad burnt on the bottom & was somewhat dry. In hindsight, I wish I had the willpower to wait until I got home to heat it. However, I scarfed it down before even leaving the parking lot.

One of the associates there--I believe her name is Gloria--is by far the friendliest and most caring worker I have ever encountered. She makes an effort to remember your name and treats every interaction with genuine care. When she is busy working on an order, she will politely tell others, "I am helping my customer." That level of pride and personal ownership is incredibly rare these days, and she deserves highest praise. This store has a fantastic team, and Gloria makes every visit a wonderful experience!
