Mako Bowl - Pasadena

Only thing I ever get here is Japanese Curry it's the best. I only get the veggie curry. Even my family loves the veggie curry they're prefer having meat in everything. Best newest items. Not sure how long it been on the menu but it on side for the new items by the cashier. After we order took about 5 mintues for the food to come out. They have small large sizes for the curry. The veggies rice all goes so well. I don't mind the big chunks of veggies it's all so good.Vegetarian options: They have veggie curry. No meat in the curry if you ask for veggie Japanese Curry. Also is a vegan option.Parking: Since the location is by grocery stores, shops, and etc. There's plenty of parking for free.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian Vegan option available

This location was really hot so we did take out. The staff was friendly and helpful. The spicy chicken bowl was really fresh. The vegetables were crispy and crunchy. The chicken was charred perfectly with spicy teriyaki and the rice was sticky and yummy. The tables are super cool with rocks in resin. We would have eaten at the location but it was way to hot in the location. Ten out of ten totally recommend.

This place has been my goto when it comes to lunch. The food is fresh, tasteful and affordable. HIGHLY recommend.Food: 5/5

I’ve included pictures of their menu and updated prices (the website is outdated).Ive been coming here over the last ~20 years for their chicken teriyaki bowl and it has maintained the same great taste throughout the years. I started going to their location across the street from PCC before they opened the one on foothill. My order is exactly the same every single time, small teriyaki chicken bowl with no sesame seeds and a side of hot sauce (it’s not hot). If I’m on my work lunch break I call in to order ahead and it’s always ready on time for pickup.Parking is hit or miss. They share a lot with many other stores including Ralphs. Sometimes it’s quick to find parking, other times you’re waiting for someone to leave or need to park further away.Payment: cash and credit cards.Indoor seating available and not normally a problem to find a spot. Inside is nothing fancy but you’ll find a good meal and clean tables to dine at.

4 stars, because the website menu prices are different than the prices listed at the store.Otherwise, I enjoyed the food.Food: 5/5
