Came on a Friday night and waited in a line for the food. It was BOMB! Food hit the spot. Never been to this spot but saw it on TikTok. Did not disappoint. Line looks long but moves kind of fast. Inside is small but clean. The nachos were good but the poke is so good! I would give this place a 10/10 if it weren't for the 5 stars. Very delicious. Full of flavor. Also considering its poke, the price is very reasonable. Will be back! read more

Ry's Poke Shack - Nachos and Ahi bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

We finally made it to Ry's Poké Shack after learning about their original location in Oahu. As people who visit Hawaii often, we were excited to see they opened locations in Huntington Beach and Pasadena. Anyone who has eaten poké in Hawaii knows it's usually not quite the same here in California... until now. Ry's Poké is the real deal. We started with the ahi nachos (spicy tobiko style) and the portion was huge and honestly enough for four people to share. They're also very generous with their portions overall, which we loved. For our meals: I had a Regulah bowl with ahi gingachurri style My best friend had a Regulah bowl with salmon ponzu crunch style My daughter had a Regulah poké salad with ahi spicy Hawaiian style We also shared 1/2 lb of ahi Lao style Everything was incredible. The fish was super fresh, buttery, and literally melts in your mouth. The flavors were amazing!!! We were honestly dancing in our seats because it was that good. From frequent trips to Hawaii and eating where locals eat (plus having friends born and raised there), I can confidently say this is some of the most authentic poké you'll find around here. Customer service was great. The shop itself is very small with only a handful of tables, located in a strip mall at Colorado Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd. Parking in the front lot is limited, but there's more parking behind the building. There's usually a line, which now makes total sense. We waited about 30 minutes, but the food came out pretty quickly considering how many orders were ahead of us. Hands down the best poké around. read more

I came in around 4 PM on a Wednesday, and there was no line, which made ordering quick and easy. The place itself has only a few seats inside, and parking in the lot right outside the building can fill up quickly. There's another parking lot next to the building, which makes it easier to find a spot. I ordered the Salmon California Tsunami Nachos. The flavor was great, and I loved the wonton chips they came with, they had the perfect crunch and paired really well with the toppings. The portion size was big, and it tasted super fresh, which was nice. However, I do wish they added more salmon, especially for the price. The food was pretty good, and I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Wanted to love this place since it got such a hype and I did enjoy it but....I waited about 30-40 minutes to get my food and for the small with one protein I paid $20. It comes with fish, rice, and some cucumbers and I paid extra to add crab. So for a poke bowl where the fish should be the star of the show I wanted to be blown away and I was not. Some of the fish was really tasty and fresh but a good third of my bowl had a thin layer of connective tissue that made the fish consistency hard and quite gross. I even spit out a piece into my napkin. I do hope they take this feedback and make their cutting a bit better because the fish is super fresh and the flavors are delicious. It Just left me with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when I finished the meal which is a bummer! I ordered the spicy tobiko sauce. I liked it but I would try a more plain one like shoyu next time. I didn't love that they put siracha all over the top- it took away from the fish! read more

Finally came by to check out what the hype is about this place. Like the reviews say, there's a long line and long wait. We came on a Friday around 12:30 and waited almost half an hour to order. The menu is simple, just poke with rice or salad. I picked limu with tuna and Lao style with salmon. My friend got the shoyu with salmon and spicy tobiko with tuna. Both orders are on rice. Our favorite is the spicy tobiko. Limu is a Hawaiian poke classic. However, the seaweed was pretty tough and I didn't get any kukui nut in the mix. The shoyu one has heavy sesame oil flavor. A let down of my food was the rice was really wet, soft and clumpy. It was a bit disappointing. However, this is as close to real poke from Hawaii as it can in SGV so I will take it. The shop is tiny with only several seats. There is still a long line through out the day so plan accordingly. read more

Update review: I came back because I was impressed the first time around, but was highly disappointed by the following: 1. It feels like there was less fish this time around on the nachos 2. I once again ordered 4 things (2 salads mayjah style) 1 poke bowl mayjah style and nachos and it was given to me in a super large bag as it was being taken back to family for sharing (it was the size of a large gift bag that wasn't very supportive on the bottom) and by the time I got home sauce from the container spilled out of the plastic containers the food came packed in and all 4 orders fell from the bottom of the bag onto the street making a mess. Basically $105 thrown out onto the street because of a single cheap paper bag they gave me and poor containers to put the food in for takeout. Overall, it feels like I'm getting less food (both because it fell on the street and what portions are given) and overall was really disappointed and upset about the whole thing. read more

Rating a solid 4.5! Took my dad who used to live in Hawaii to this popular spot and it didn't disappoint. We got there right at 11:30 on Wednesday and we left with our takeout at 12:01, which was better than I expected. We ordered the tsunami nachos - highly recommend getting the nachos on the side so they don't get soggy - and a poke bowl with 2 scoops of fish. The fish was perfectly flavored and tasted very fresh. I usually prefer ahi in poke but I think I prefer salmon here, but only because a few ahi pieces were sinewy. My dad enjoyed it overall so I do have to say it's Hawaiian dad approved! Overall a great spot, but would recommend going on a weekday if possible! read more

Saturday got here at 11:45 am, took 40 mins to get to the front to order. Ordered the Tsunami Nachos Ahi Firecracker and regulah poke bowl with Salmon California with unagi drizzle. The wait for the food was 15 mins. The staff were friendly, there was seating inside, it was full in there. The flavor profile on the Tsunami Nachos with Ahi Firecracker was amazing, the spice level was perfect, good mixture of salty, savory. Scoop it up with some of the crab salad and ahi and it's the perfect bite. It is a large amount of crab salad. This dish is filling and even left me with leftovers! The regulah poke bowl with Salmon California with unagi drizzle carried a lot of creaminess and umami yet it wasn't too heavy. The pickled cucumbers gave the nice transition in flavors. The regulah was plenty to fill the appetite! I can't wait to come back when in the area! read more

Pro tip- there is a huge parking lot behind the building so don't waste your time waiting in the smaller lot. There will likely be a wait.. but I'd say if it's not completely wrapped around the building then it's worth the wait. Their poké was delicious and you know if it's cubed it's LEGIT! The ambiance is like a busy new hot spot that is just trying to keep up with demand. read more

After months of wanting to try out Ry's Poke Shake, I finally did! To be honest... I'm a little disappointed. I had such high expectations for Ry's but everything was quite underwhelming and overpriced. :( My friend and I came on a Tuesday around 5:30-6PM. Thankfully we came right before there was a rush so we didn't wait too long. The parking can get bad -- we got lucky since there were lots of spots open at the time we came. I ordered 1/2 pound of the spicy tobiko with salmon, 1/2 pound of ponzu crunch with ahi, and Firecracker style poke nachos. The firecracker style poke nachos was disappointing. There were literally only a few pieces of poke and the nachos were mostly garnishes, sauce, and chips. It was also a bit too salty for my liking. I wouldn't get it again unless they changed their poke portions and added more. They definitely skimped out on the fish here. I also ordered the 1/2 pound of the spicy tobiko with salmon, 1/2 pound of ponzu crunch with ahi. I was honestly a bit disappointed because by the time I got home I realized that the worker who took my order put in the order wrong -- it was supposed to be spicy tobiko with ahi and the ponzu crunch with salmon. The spicy tobiko was my favorite out of all the poke styles. It would've tasted so good with the ahi so I wouldn't recommend getting that poke style with salmon. The ponzu crunch was a bit too sweet IMO. If I ever came back, I would probably order a regular poke bowl with the spicy tobiko with ahi tuna. The nachos were overrated -- but it's cool that Ry's Poke offers nachos since a lot of poke spots don't do that around this area. I'm just grateful I didn't have to wait two hours for my poke :) read more

Ry's Poke Shack - Lao style Salmon and Ahi fish poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

I love a good poke, and Ry's was worth the hype. Since I went by myself and therefore could reasonably only eat one thing, I got the Tsunami Nachos with ahí tuna in spicy Hawaiian style. And it soooo tasty! The ahi tuna was super fresh, the toppings and sauces on point, and the "nacho" chips a pile of crispy fried wonton skins that's stood up to all the stuff piled on top and was crunchy the whole way through. Spicy Hawaiian has a one-chili-pepper symbolizing mild spiciness. It was, IMHO, not spicy at all. So if you're looking for something a little stronger, get something with more chili peppers on the menu. The wait was long though. I went on a Saturday afternoon and stood in line for two hours. Even after you place the order, it's 20-30 minutes before you get your food. The good thing about that is, since things take a while, by the time your food order comes up, you have a fair shot of snagging one of the very few tables in the little shop. Is it worth two hours' wait? I'm not sure I'm really game to stand in line that long for anything. But if you find yourself with time, an audiobook, and no kids complaining to you, and you want really good poke, then this is a solid choice. Just maybe don't come at lunch time on a perfect Saturday. read more

I'd been seeing poke nachos all over my feed on social media, so I was excited to hear that Ry's had opened just a few blocks from my house. We waited in a short line for about 10 minutes before ordering. We got the Tsunami Nachos with shoyu salmon, and the portion was huge; enough to feed at least four people. While the cashier who helped us wasn't the most welcoming, the food more than made up for it. The wonton chips were light and crispy, and they paired well with the savory poke and fresh toppings. Would definitely come back to try their other items! read more

I finally tried the Lao-style poke nachos with salmon, and they were honestly so good! The portion was huge and the flavors were on point. My only small critique is that the menu mentioned it would be spicy, but it really wasn't spicy at all for me. It was still delicious, but if you're looking for a serious kick, you might want to ask for extra sauce on the side. The service here is awesome--the cashier was super cool and really helpful with ordering. Even though the line was long, it moved at a really good pace. The ambiance is super chill and casual, making it a great spot to just grab your food and hang out. Definitely coming back! read more

Ry's Poke Shack - Lao Style Poke Nachos with Salmon - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ry's Poke Shack recently opened in Pasadena and one of my friends on island highly suggested (aka spoke sweet nothings in my ear) that I needed to check it out. Finding some time to actually go, I decided to make the short drive to Pasadena. Let's talk Parking, though located in a small strip mall it is perfectly nestled on two major cross streets. So though there might not be parking in the plaza, there is a small Parking lot behind and plenty of street parking nearby to take advantage of. The line itself was long, however, it is expected considering how busy both their following and the viral nature of the business. I waited about 20-30 minutes to just put my order in. Which on a lunch break is quite a bit, but, to be expected for the amount of hype they generated. I waited another 10-15 min for my order. Stepping into the restaurant, I felt the modern take on walking into a normal family restaurant on the back streets of Waikiki. With some Aloha vibes playing over the speaker, warm greetings, and some soft ukulele in the background with a few local faves in the fridge, I felt like I was back on the island. My order was the Mayjah Bowl (2 choices of protein, choice of sauce, cucumber salad) and I added a side of Crab on the side with a Diet Coke. As a sushi/poke/raw fish kind of gentlemen, finding Poke specifically that matches what I have eaten in Hawaii is EXTREMELY rare outside of formal dining. I have only found a handful of shops that match the fish freshness as closely as what I would expect in my local poke shack in Waikiki. But, Ry's delivers in droves. One bite, I can taste the freshness and quality of the fish. I paired it with the Spicy Shoyu and boy, I savored every last bit. Along with the savory Crab salad and fresh cucumbers, I thoroughly enjoyed every small bite. The Poke by the Pound is also fair as I have seen similar pricing at other shops who's fish is comparable. As busy as it was there was no indoor seating as it was packed. I therefore, got my order to go, but like I was back on the island, I opened my trunk and sat down and enjoyed my food while enjoying the day. In summery, I would come back again, again, and again. I miss the island vibes and having Ry's as a backup for when I get island sick, is no short of blessing. 11 Alohas out of 10. I'll be back! read more

* [3.5 Stars] Idk, if i'll be here again. It's so small in here and the line is crazy. Due to their viral TikTok, I would say it wait a few weeks for the hype to die down because when I arrived, they were out of the poke nachos (which I was so hype for). It was so devastating because I lowkey drove a long way. I ended up getting the Mayjah Poke Bowl with Salmon (Lao Style and Shoyu) which my favorite between the two was the Lao Style without a doubt. Shoyu was basic and I couldn't really taste much. I was able to taste my sister's poke bowl and I loved the Gingahchurri that she got! So top two would be Lao Style and Gingachurri! Ambiance: Crowded af when I went, tables are close af. read more

Definitely worth the hype! I came on a Thursday and arrived about 10 minutes before opening, but there were already around 10 people in line. I waited roughly 20 minutes total before ordering, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I ordered the Lao Style Tsunami Nachos (poke nachos) with mixed fish, and my food was ready in about another 10 minutes. The wonton chips were super crispy, fish was fresh, and the Lao Style sauce was sooo flavorful. It has a nice kick to it without being overly spicy, about a mild to medium heat level. I do want to mention that the fish to chip ratio felt a bit off, but the sign does state that it comes with one serving of fish, so that's something to keep in mind. Highly recommend parking behind the store since there's more space as the plaza parking lot is pretty small. With only about seven tables inside, it's a more intimate space, so I opted to take my order to go. I'll definitely be back to try their other flavors! read more

Ry's Poke Shack - Lao Style Poke Nachos with Mixed Fish - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

My cousin saw a line going out the door a couple days ago and we thought we had to come and try! There's not a lot of quality poke places around the area but this one definitely hit the spot. We came around 1:20pm on a Wednesday afternoon. They have a small parking lot in front but usually never have any spots open. You have a better chance of finding parking in the back of the shops. The store is relatively small and packed. There's about 6 small tables (can sit only 2) shoved into the corner of the store and one table outside the store. We waited about 10 minutes to order our food and another 20 minutes to get our food. The staff is really friendly! They take their time to let you know what their recommendations are and answer all your questions. We ordered 2 small bowls and 1 big bowl with an added crab salad. The total came out to be $~60 which is pretty intense. We all ordered salmon but they offer ahi and tofu. Our bowls all consisted of different sauces, shoyu, spicy tobiko, and spicy hawaiian. I thought that shoyu was the best one because it had a stronger taste to it. The spicy tobiko and hawaiian didn't have any spicy-ness and fell a little flat. I thought that the portions were spot-on. The amount of salmon to rice was perfect. The cucumbers added a nice touch of freshness to the plate. Overall, I think I'd get again but would definitely share because the price is just a little over the top. read more

Fresh fish that tastes straight from Oahu! I've had some solid poke spots in CA but this is on top of my list. Fish is fresh and flown in from Hawaii. The sauces are great too without overpowering each other. The crab salad was amazing, I think it's a must to add to your poke bowl. Cucumbers are crunchy yet perfectly pickled. The owner saw us eating in the car of the parking lot because we had to eat it fresh and I gave him the nod of approval. I will be back to try more flavors and I want to try the poke nachos!! read more

Ry's Poke Shack - Limu Ahi & Firecracker Salmon + Crab Salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Kind of a crazy line :-(. Came here on memorial day and waited for a total of ~1.5 hours to get the goods. Got the tsunami nachos with salmon spicy tobiko. Really yummy crunchy wontons(?) chips, generous portion of fish (enuf to eat each chip with 1 chunk of fish), but alas the sauces + imitation crab were too sweet. I also ordered 1/2 pound of ahi ponzu jalapeño and 1/2 pound ahi hot shoyu but ended up getting 2 half pounds of ahi hot shoyu :-( it was really busy so a mix up is understandable. Small parking lot, but there is ample street parking. There is seating inside, but not for big parties. All in all, would recommend trying this place, but definitely do not wait more than 30 minutes for it. read more

Been wanting to come here for the longest, finally made it today for lunch. Waited outside for about 20-25 minutes and again waited inside for about another 5-10 minutes.. Restaurant is small and tight with limited seating inside. Good customer service! We ordered and shared the Tsunami Nachos, the fish was fresh and everything was well seasoned, love the crab salad. The restaurant is located in a small shopping center with limited parking. The restaurant is consistently busy as the line was just as long when we left, as when we arrived. read more

Best poke spot in SGV by far. I came here during their soft opening near closing time, and there was still a relatively long line. It took nearly an hour to get my order. The way it works here is that you can mix and match--you pick the fish and then a particular flavor for it. I ordered their 2 choice poke bowl and got the Shoyu Ahi and the California Salmon. The Shoyu Ahi was really good! It wasn't overly salty and it was delicious. My friends also really enjoyed this one. The California Salmon was not as flavorful as the Shoyu, but it was really good regardless and it came with avocado! The quality of the salmon and tuna was excellent and very fresh. It's a small shop and the workers were all very friendly and inviting. They also have a self serve water station. This place will definitely be my go to spot for poke. read more

I don't blame the hype around this place.. it is decent compared to most poke places here in LA. I enjoyed the different flavors, however I still can't give it 4 or 5 stars because the fish wasn't cleaned well at all. I had so many pieces that shouldn't have been in the poke. Additionally cleanliness of the restaurant was lacking a bit as well. The employees also didn't seem to be too happy to be there. Just overall not the true hawaiian poke shop experience... coming from someone who was just in Hawaii and visits often. read more

Been to the location in Huntington Beach numerous times when I lived nearby before moving out near Pasadena. Once I learned that Ry's Poke Shack was closer to me and was having a soft opening I had to go get my authentic Hawaiian poke fix! This time around we got 1/2 pound Limu Ahi, salmon spicy tobiko (mild) , Ahi Lao style (actually spicy because of the Thai chilies, which is our favorite. Spicy but not runny nose spicy but can clear sinuses) We like the ahi tuna more than the salmon. Service was good but they definitely need help to be more efficient. The order taker is primary the one who's also calling out the numbers for customers to pick up their orders. With every once in a while the others workers helping out if they're not scooping rice or making poke. After ordering it did take 20 minutes for me to pick up my order since they make it fresh to order. I got there a little before 1:30 on Saturday 01/31/2025 and got to my car around 2:45pm. So be patient and be prepared to wait. There's not a lot of parking 10 spots with 1 handicap parking, I actually had to park behind the building. For ambiance, there's about 7-8 tables cramped together, one table outside, not a lot of seating tbh the same as what the restaurant before this had (Lobster guys) this is why we normally cook rice at home (let the rice cool down prior) and just get either half a pound of assorted poke or a pound of poke $16.50 each with a side of crab surimi $3. FYI website doesn't work and I'm assuming they're not taking any phone orders or online orders because the line in person is so busy. So first come first serve. When I left the line was around the building of people waiting. Happy to have this place near me. I will come back again soon and hopefully they figure out how to be more efficient. Be patient the poke is worth it! Congrats Ry and family! See you all soon! read more

Ry's poke hits the spot and I am thankful to have this so close to the house! The workers and cooks are always so nice and make sure to. Heck if we enjoy the food! The food was also amazing as always! I love this spot and I hope they make the store bigger because the ambiance is cute and quaint, but it does get hard to maneuver around the location when there's a rush! The nachos is by far the best deal so I think everyone should try that and make sure you also try all the other flavors since they are spot on with the Hawaii feel of poke read more

Ry's Poke Shack - 1/2lb Cali salmon - Hawaiian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Can't give this place 3.5 stars so I'll round up to a 4! I was so excited to try this place but I don't know if it lived up to the hype. We got a poke bowl on a Sunday and they were soooo busy which I'm sure could have added to the quality of the food. We waited over 30 mins but you can truly tell they make each dish to order. The poke bowl came with two scoops of rice and two scoops of poke. We got Limu for tuna and firecracker for salmon. The flavors on both were great, no complaints there and firecracker wasn't spicy. My issue was that the fish was a bit mushy? You could tell it was fresh but the texture was a little bit off, maybe because it had warm/hot rice on the bottom. I would definitely come back again once they are less busy so hopefully the quality will be better. It's a small place and there's limited amount of seating. Chill vibes with the aloha spirit! read more

I enjoyed a delicious tuna poke bowl with a crispy diet coke. The dining room is small so you might not find a place to sit when it get busy, but they did have a table outside.

I was so excited to finally try Ry's poke! Hubby and I tried to go when we were in Oahu but they were closed. We went on a lunch date on a Monday around 11:30, shortly after they opened and they weren't that busy. The interior is nice and cozy with ample seating and even a table on the patio. The staff was super friendly and even took time to chat with us. I got the shoyu ahi and spicy Hawaiian salmon. My husband got the hot shoyu ahi and Lao style ahi. Everything was delicious and you could taste the quality of the fish. The cucumbers were a pleasant surprise. The crab salad had huge chunks of crab and tasted creamy. Though steep, the prices are worth it. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu! read more

Good Poke is hard to find, but there are plenty of vendors in Pasadena. I think I'm a good judge of Poke as my family has roots in Honolulu, visit there regularly and we've eaten more Poke than most. Ry's is a local Poke in Hawaii, but opened a location in Pasadena (Thank You). I'm not one to wait in line, so it was a few month's before I was able to visit when the line outside was short. Pricey, yes; Selection, not plenty like Hawaii, but solid; Quality? Ono. Check 'em out! read more

Heard there's always long lines here, but luckily there were no lines when we visited. I tried 4 different types of Pokes- Limu, Lao Style, Shoyu, and Spicy Tobiko. They were all pretty good so it's difficult to choose a favorite. I would say it's more on the salty side, but I appreciated the spicy ones weren't too spicy. Overall decent poke and good to try once. read more

Okay, so I had to return to give this place a chance to redeem themselves and make my order correctly. The guy working the register was friendly and helpful. I, again, ordered the salmon poke and this time it was made without the spice. The fish was fresh and the marinate was tasty too. They did put some of the marinate on the rice which was nice because it gave some flavor to the plain rice. I wish some poke places would make sushi rice but maybe that will affect the flavor of the poke. read more

If you're craving poke that actually tastes like Hawai'i, Ry's Poke Shack absolutely delivers. The Spicy Tobiko and Firecracker bowls were incredible fresh, vibrant, and packed with the kind of bold island flavor that instantly transports you to a local poke spot near the beach. The Spicy Tobiko had this rich umami flavor with bursts of salty-sweet tobiko that popped in every bite, while the Firecracker brought the perfect balance of heat, citrus, and savory depth without overpowering the freshness of the fish. You can genuinely taste the quality and authenticity here, nothing feels overly dressed up or watered down for the mainland palate. The fish was buttery and fresh, the rice perfectly seasoned, and every topping complemented the bowl instead of competing with it. Even the aroma walking in reminded me of authentic Hawaiian poke shops, clean ocean freshness mixed with soy, sesame, and spice. On top of the food, the atmosphere was welcoming and laid back, giving that casual local-style comfort that makes you want to keep coming back. Easily one of the closest experiences to true Hawaiian poke I've had in Southern California. read more
