Food is good, people working there have no clue what they're doing.
Great food, excellent selection, and the best rates in Pasadena!
The food was decent, the fish was fresh, but it is far from safe if you cannot eat gluten. I am gluten sensitive but my daughters have Celiac, so I am always looking at it from a strictly GF lense. They have a list of gluten free sauces on the menu, so I had hoped that they would be more conscious of contamination, etc. They were busy when I arrived and had 2 people making bowls for the line and one for the internet orders. Nonetheless, the wait was almost 20 minutes, which I think is too long. The setup is the usual poke bar where you pick your ingredients and they mix it up. The nice woman serving me knew very little about what was GF so the others helped her and I was disappointed to not be able to get Spicy Tuna as at most places. I got scoops of tuna and salmon with the spicy mayo. I almost bolted when I saw how the crispy onions and artificial crab were being carelessly scooped over the other ingredients. I would never have let my children eat there, but I was starving so I took the chance. The food was tasty, a little pricey but the rent is high in that area. It was about $13 for a large bowl (5 scoops). There are a good amount of seats and the place was clean.
Their portion is pretty awesome! It’s a bit busy during lunch hours. Always love the half & half of rice and spring mix for base. They scoop a good amount of fish for you. Pretty satisfied!
