Yesterday my son and I wanted Poke. We really wanted Fresh Fin, we checked their hours online, realized that we had enough time and drove over. We arrived at 8:50, they close at 9:00 pm. We walked in and the young man told us that they were closed. He was sitting in the corner opposite the door, reading something on his phone. I told him that the door and everything else said that they close at 9:00. He said that those were summer hours and that they hadn't replaced them on the door or anywhere else. I asked what time do they close for winter hours. He said, and I quote, "I'm not really sure, I think 8:30." I knew at that moment that he was lying and didn't want to make our food. I'm only writing this so that the company knows how they're being represented. We ended up at Fusion Poke across the street! read more

This was my first time trying FreshFin, and unfortunately, it will likely be my last. I ordered a poké bowl and paid extra for meat, but when I got home, I realized the meat was completely missing. I called right away and was told the manager would reach out to me. It's been days, and I've heard nothing--no apology, no offer to make me a new bowl, and no refund for what I paid. For a first impression, this was a huge disappointment and not the level of service I expected. read more

I was really disappointed with the poke here this time. Was really sad because previously it was really good. The rice had minimal flavor, and was pretty dry. The poke overall lacked flavor and was pretty bland. The portion size was decent. I would definitely pick other poke places in the area over FreshFin. read more

Freshfin always has the best quality and variety of products. Cost is something else. Every add on is $1+ and it makes no sense, why not just have that in the base price? You end up with a small to medium size bowl for $20+. Is it worth it? Sometimes, most of the time no. It's also a 50/50 shot on if the rice is cooked or not, which is always a big let down. You never see the same employee when you go, not that it's a big business or anything. Ambiance is nice. Bathrooms are gross but it's got a very coastal vibe to it which is nice. read more

Hey FreshFin, thank you for being the very best! In choosing my (iso) birthday meal the other day, my mind went straight here. They have the freshest fish, the most flavorful dishes, and the friendliest team. If I could eat their poke on the daily, I would. Happy to be an ongoing supporter through take-out & delivery during this tough time. Ordering from FreshFin during Covid is seamless and safe. After placing an online order, we arrived to the front door, which prompted us to give them a call. Soon after, an employee in a mask and gloves appeared to pass along our bag of goodies. My favorite dish? Spicy Tuna! Their expertise on blending flavors is perfected in this bowl. Ahi tuna is accompanied by edamame and crunchy cucumber, a spicy punch from the chopped jalapeños, plus crispy onions and a sweet kick from the shoyu and aioli. All of this greatness is packed in a bowl on top of a base of your choosing; I go with the mixed greens. You definitely get the bang for your buck! PSA: the size smaller size, called "regular," is plenty of food. Other good news? Their take-out dishes and supplies are 100% recyclable. Thanks for that too, FreshFin! read more

FreshFin - East Side - Rainbow Bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Fresh Fin has wonderful fresh ingredients and provides a satisfying lunch for poke, which I recently had the pleasure of eating. Every taste clearly reveals how fresh the ingredients are. The fish was perfectly fresh, delicate, and succulent, which is essential for a poke meal. Individual preferences might be catered for by creating a unique flavor profile using the selection of toppings and sauces. The service was great and ambiance of the small restaurant is open and welcoming. I was very close to climbing the ropes at the entryway. Fresh Poke, however, lacked a little in a few crucial areas. The inability to discern between the regular and large portion sizes. Fresh Fin is still a top-notch poke restaurant. It is a respectable option for poke lovers due to the high quality of the ingredients and the flavors offered. read more

Definitely the best poke place in Milwaukee not only for the quantity, quality and flavor of the food, but also the cleanliness of the restaurant, the speed of service, and the friendliness of the staff. I have been a fan of FreshFin Poke but I go to the one in third ward more often now because of its location. Still want to show some support to this original location and it deserves the support for sure! I ordered a regular sized "Pineapple Tango" with seaweed salads added on top (toppings are free) and my girlfriend made her own bowl. Big bowls, lots of fresh salmon and other ingredients, and appropriate seasonings for both of us. Happy lunch time! read more

I love everything about FreshFin Poké. FreshFin serves up fresh, sustainable, healthy, and most importantly delicious eats in a sleek, modern, fast casual environment. I've been to this location a number of times and the quality of their ingredients and the varied flavors of their signature bowls keep me coming back. My favorite? The mango tango. Salmon, chopped mango, edamame, avocado, cilantro, thai chili ginger, sweet shoyu, crispy onion, and tobiko on a bed of sticky rice conspire to create a dish that is slightly sweet, surprisingly hearty, and wonderfully flavorful. I trust their expertise when it comes to blending flavors and so I always opt for one of their signature bowls, but you can build your own bowls as well. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food. The service is speedy. We've dined in and ordered take out and it's fine for both. Bonus: all their takeout dishes/supplies are 100% recyclable. Get to it!! read more

For a poke spot, I was expecting more from the fish from Freshfin but was a little disappointed unfortunately. The Spicy Tuna Bowl wasn't anything special in my opinion and felt a bit rice heavy to me. The Curry Coconut Shrimp on the other hand was actually pretty good. Would definitely recommend this one if you're looking for something unique. The portion sizes were decent, not small by any means, but I just felt like the price was a tad high for what I got overall. Some of their other bowls look good though and I would like to try them in the future, but I don't think their more traditional poke options are for me. read more

Okay, so I'm giving this place 3 stars because even though the Poke was really good (honestly it's pretty hard to mess up), I do not think the price is worth it. You would be better off buying sushi grade fish and making your own bowl. It's really easy actually. I think it would be different if they actually filled up the bowl with the ingredients you want, but they don't. I really did quite enjoy the truffle crab salad. Again, this is really expensive. The service was really friendly though. I'll say that. And the place is nice and clean. Ambiance is modern. But it was so cold in there! It's a nice option for gluten-free people and it was a nice, healthier alternative than a lot of other places. But it's not something that I will frequent. read more

FreshFin Poke is a great addition to Milwaukee's dining experience. Delicious food, great customization options and cute little ambience. The restaurant is small and clean and has enough tables to perhaps fit about 20-30 people. They have seating both indoors and outdoors. The staff is very kind and super helpful. They is an area where you can sit looking outside through the glass wall and it's kind of nice to eat and watch as the traffic goes by. They do catering as well if others are interested in hosting an event which I think is a great idea. The best part about their menu is how you can customize stuff. I liked two different kinds of bowls and ended up getting something in between with the help of their staff. The mango bowl and tuna bowl are amazing! Their are Chicken options as well for those who don't like the raw fish options. They also keep track of your orders from the past so Incase you go back and need something they can look it up. Overall any of the bowls you pick, you will not regret it. This Is going to be one my regulars! read more

OMG! I am not even done eating my bowl yet and I had to leave a review. This is amazing. I ordered the spicy tuna over mixed greens and it is phenomenal. When I saw you could pay for double the protein, I considered it, but I honestly don't need it. This bowl is filled to the top, there's plenty of tuna and veggie toppings, and it's the regular size which is plenty for me! I love that! Not even sure if I can finish it all. I love that most of the toppings are free, including seaweed salad!? Unheard of. All the toppings are fresh and the flavors combine so deliciously. Reasonably priced for sure. And I ordered online so I was able to pop in and pick it up easily and quickly. Please do not change!!! I am wondering how much money I'm going to be spending here now... I'm addicted! read more

FreshFin - East Side - Spicy Tuna bowl on mixed greens - added carrot & seaweed salad - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

So if you're into the whole fresh salad business then Freshfin could be your jam. I myself found it to be good but just not sure if it would be a first choice for dinner again. I tried the curry coconut shrimp bowl with rice and veggies and it was good. At $$$ for a large bowl I would just rather spend the funds on something more substantial elsewhere. Also somewhere I can get an adult beverage, at minimum a beer! Freshfin location is solid, nestled on the Eastside of Milwaukee business corridor on North. I could see coming here for lunch if I worked near here but dinner again... Not when there's so many actual restaurants to choose from where I can feel the money spent was really worth it. As I said earlier Freshfin is good just not quite my cup of tea. read more

This is not the best Poké in town--that distinction belongs to Ono Kine Grindz. But it is very good. It's in line with the trend of poke shops that seem to be cropping up all over the place--upscale fast-casual, with an emphasis on customization and healthy ingredients. This isn't a complaint, and the UWM-adjacent area is a good fit for one of these places. I have eaten at the restaurant a few times and also ordered delivery. I like to get the build your own bowl and experiment a little bit. I usually go with white rice as the base and tuna or salmon as the protein. The regular size is big enough for one meal, especially with the new combo option I saw tonight where you can get a side like edamame or seaweed salad with your Poké bowl for a small discount. A large is definitely enough for leftovers. I have taken leftover poke to work for lunch the next day and it's a lot better than I would have imagined. I like the little small touches at the restaurant, like the slightly dimmed lighting and the choice of condiments available including several kinds of furikake (rice seasoning). The reason I actually stopped in tonight is I remembered they have the Rishi turmeric ginger tea available. There are several other teas and juices displayed right by the register as well. My one quibble is that the delivery menu isn't always up to date or in sync with the menu at the restaurant. The poke bowls are the same prices, but the availability and pricing structure of the side items and drinks aren't always quite the same. So I have ordered something once or twice primarily to meet a delivery minimum only to be told it wasn't available. Not a huge deal. If you can make it out it's probably better to go to the restaurant anyway. read more

This is the only restaurant that I've ever had poke at so I don't have anything to compare it to, but simply by itself it's absolutely amazing. If you aren't sure what poke is, to me it's like sushi in a bowl. A deconstructed sushi roll if you will. It's a little pricey, but compared to sushi and seafood prices it's right on par. We stopped in on a random Saturday and they weren't very busy. I ordered the Mango Tango, but they were out of mango. That didn't really make sense to me as I feel like you should probably have all the ingredients (especially the main one) for your recipes, but I understand things happen. The cashier informed me they were out and then offered to substitute pineapple and any other ingredient I wanted due to the inconvenience which I appreciated. My husband built his own and had a great time doing so. The wait to get the actual bowls wasn't very long and they are presented very nicely. My only complaint is that I wish the bowls were slightly larger for the amount of ingredients that are in them. It made it very hard to mix up the bowls in order to get a bite of everything in one go. Or maybe serve a plate underneath them so we could potentially dump it out and mix it up. Or maybe I'm just eating it all wrong and I shouldn't be mixing it up. Regardless, the flavors blended beautifully and it was delicious. You felt full after but not that 'gross I can't move full'. It was more of a happy, pleasantly comfortable sort of full. I was excited to hear that FreshFin was opening a second location, albeit downtown. And all I can do is hope that in the near future they'll open one farther west in the burbs for those of us that aren't city dwellers! read more

This place can't compare to Hawaii Poke/West Coast Poke. They packed the bowl with a lot of rice for my friend and I. This place was definitely towards the hipster side of things so I guess we weren't the targeted audience. Service and people were friendly though which was a plus. read more

FreshFin has been a great option lately for healthy, fresh, and filling food in my neighborhood. Ordering online for pick-up or curbside is really easy, but you can also eat there. My favorites are their cilantro chicken (add pineapple, crispy garlic, crispy onion) and the spicy tuna. The large size is plenty of food for two meals. read more

First time at this FreshFin location, the establishment is very clean and organize with an easy menu to read. You can rather build your own or pick from the favorite menu items. Poké I picked was the "Mango Tango" and what I can say is it was amazing. The sweetness from the mangos gave the poke bowl a perfect kicks. I got the regular size and it was a perfect portion. Very great place with a lot of street parking. read more

Tell me why the quinoa was crunchy like it wasn't cooked or it was way over cooked and my vegan food tasted fishy

Food was very mediocre and so expensive. $17 for their smallest sized bowl should be assault. Save yourself the hassle of overpaying for a bowl full of empty promises and walk across the street and get the real deal from Fusion Poke. read more

The food here is very tasty, it's fresh and clean, it's a bit overpriced for counter service ordering. The young workers are polite and fast, just a tad annoying with the sing song flight attendant speech, but I'm a cranky old man. My biggest problem with the place is that it's not labeled accurately. This food is more accurately described as deconstructed American style sushi. Americanized sushi-in-a-bowl, as it were. As this is my first experience with sushi-in-a-bowl I would have to say it's the best sushi-in-a-bowl I've ever had. It's kind of a hipster interpretation of a Hawai'ian home made quick refrigerator lunch, so like the Chicagoan ex-pat who gets ketchup on a hot dog, or alfalfa sprouts on a pizza when visiting California, calling this, poke, does not sit right with me. I'm not happy with this poke fashion trend, it's ethnic commodification and a worrisome contribution to the over-fishing of Ahi tuna. I admit, principles aside, the food is pretty tasty. There isn't an attempt to be authentic, so if you're Hawai'ian, or craving authentic Hawai'ian, you will be sorely disappointed. Maybe even a bit offended. Of course the odd misspelling of poke should be a tip off. If you listen to actual Hawai'ian locals pronounce it in Hawai'ian pidgin the accent is on the first syllable (the word is not French in origin), and it doesn't quite rhyme with the Midwestern "hoke" as in "let's all do the Hoke Poke" nor does it rhyme with the Midwestern pronunciation of "okay," as in "I'm not okay with ethnic co-optation" but is rather something in between the two. I fondly remember my first encounter with real poke, I was visiting my sister who lived in Hawai'i, we were in a local supermarket and I asked for the "Hoke Poke." No one thought I was funny. My sister said, not meaning to be sardonic, "Here, the Hoke Poke is most certainly NOT what it's all about." Somewhat shamed I got the traditional he'e poke and wolfing that down in Ala Moana Park, had to return in less than 10 minutes to get some more. That day and every day for the next month. Locals explained to me that poke just means, cut up, in indigenous Hawai'ian. Originally made of the small reef fish from a catch that couldn't really be eaten any other way, it became a supermarket food. This new artisanal, gourmet ha'ole pseudo-poke is a little like adding saffron-infused nitrogen to Piggly Wiggly cole slaw and charging 10 bucks for a serving after changing the spelling (colé slau?). Not pineapple, not salmon, but rather octopus (or yes, ahi), kukui nuts, and like the Piggly Wiggly cole slaw, actual Hawai'ian poke has been sitting in the marinade since it was made in the morning. So, if authentic poke is what you want, you'll need to find Ono Kine Grindz in 'Tosa, or find a Hawai'ian place in the Bay Area, or any grocery in Hawai'i. read more

Some friends wanted to meet here before a Moth show but I didn't realize there were two locations so we actually waited at the third ward location for a bit before finding out the rest of our group was on north ave. The third ward location is quite different, a quieter & more relaxing feeling but the staff was still super friendly. They helped us put tables together for our group and we were even fortunate enough to meet a couple of the owners (kudos to them for being so hands on & being there as late as they were), who were very down to earth and obviously cared about the customer experience & overall satisfaction. They mentioned they also do catering and think it's a wonderful, new and healthy option for businesses downtown. After hearing the rest of our group was on north ave, we helped put the tables back but because this place is so close to work, it'll be great to stop here for lunch. Onto north avenue... we got rock star parking right in front and noticed the outdoor seating option right away (3rd ward didn't have that). Inside was packed but (AGAIN amazing service!) within a minute of our arrival, as we were talking to our friends sitting at a table for 4, an employee offered to put a couple tables together outside so we could all sit together. How super observant and love that the employee took the initiative to do that for us! Looking at the menu with sooooo many yummy options, I decided to build my own. The employee taking my order was really helpful and patient with me! She explained what the things were I didn't know (and helped pronounce half of them lol) and didn't get at all irritated when it took me longer than your average person to order (omg so many options!). My friend also built his own, we got our number, went to get our water & sit down with our friends. Also, LOVE the bottled ginger lemon honey to add to our water! An employee brought our food within 5-10 minutes and she even checked back a few minutes later to make sure everything tasted good. My bowl was AMAZING! Honestly, I'm almost questioning if this place is making any money with the quality of ingredients they offer & use. I got the ahí tuna and honua with a ton of add-ins and they didn't skimp on one thing. Big, fresh chunks of everything I asked for was in there. Everything was super fresh, very tasty and filling too. And if you're a garlic lover, get the crispy garlic!!! I wasn't sure what to think of this place & probably wouldn't have tried it if my friend didn't suggest this for dinner but since I was going to Hawaii in August, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try some poké. I'm so glad I came here & absolutely loved everything about freshfin. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and telling everyone I know to check this place out too! read more

Seriously - yaaassssss!!! This place is so delicious! Tried FreshFin for lunch today and it was really great! I would describe this place as the chipotle or Qdoba of sushi. Build your own bowl! I had the Spicy Tuna Bowl with greens. The regular looks really small, but it filled me up! It was filled with edamame, tuna, lots of Jalepeno and lettuce. Really delicious, but at $10 a bowl it's a little pricey. The staff was so friendly! Very helpful and the food came out quick. Kind of a bummer that there's not a ton of seating and the atmosphere is cramped, but I would for sure return for lunch! read more

I tried ordering through DoorDash from the Third Ward location as it was extremely closer but once I placed my order it appeared to be coming from this location. Not a big deal even though I had to wait much longer for it to arrive. It took an hour for it to get to me. I got a tuna poke bowl. The ahi tuna wasn't that good in my opinion and felt warm as who knows how long it had been just sitting in that bowl. It was pretty pricey too for the big size. read more

This is an adorable restaurant to dine-in but the food is good enough (I love poké enough) to take-out as well. I've tried all of their specials (I don't trust myself enough to make a perfectly balanced bowl - but the option is there) and they're all wonderful. The regular size is filling enough - you don't need a large and it doesn't keep great for leftovers. Get a punch card - a free bowl for every 10! read more

I'm a fan. Such a fan in fact, I will deal with parking around North avenue on a cold, windy Friday night just to get me some Poké. True story. I love the build your own option, since I'm gluten free; I love that I can get fresh greens and gluten free poké sauce. It feels like I'm winning at life. The fish and veggies are always fresh and delicious; and I feel like it's a good value (plenty of fish, not a lot of filler). In addition to the bowls, the crab salad served with rice crackers is also a delicious appetizer. Check it out, it's a great spot for a healthy lunch or a quick dinner. read more

Was hearing a lot of poke hype, so wanted to search out a place to try as I really didn't know much about it. They have a very cute, bright, and simple space, with very casual ambiance. It's a fast food style concept, sort of like a sandwich place or a build-your-own burrito place. Slightly uncomfortable chairs and tables. Far from a sit-down meal restaurant. When you enter, you are in line to order your food then seat yourself (or take to-go). They do have some suggested bowls, but we went for the option of build-your-own bowl. The crab salad is pretty great, love having the rice cracker to dip into it! The price seems pretty good for the seafood options! My impressions are poke and sushi are totally not equivalent. If you're looking for sushi, this is definitely NOT the place. Poke is cubed seasoned raw fish on top of a bed of rice-- so it's more like comfort style of deconstructed sushi (which OK, makes it seem like they are similar-- but they are SO different!). They do have options for cooked meats for those who are not into seafood like my DH. Definitely have went out of my way to grab a poke bowl to go from here. (They have online ordering options!) Haven't been as much recently as it is a bit of a pain to park, but definitely an enjoyable option for some a quick poke bowl! read more

When you build a bowl portions are always smaller but still incredibly tasting and always worth the wait!

Edited for further clarity: Interior is east coast hipster, and clean - in a charming way. Chairs not the most comfortable and the high top is a little high from seats so kinda awkward to eat at for the shorties. So if you are on the shorter side I recommend eating at the tables. I used to eat here about once a week when they first opened and was OBSESSED. Eventually that obsession faded and I found myself not wanting to patronize this restaurant as often. My change of heart lied in the inconsistency of the entrees. When I first started eating here there bowls were pretty spot on every time. After a while of comfort their ingredient proportions became inconsistent, way too many edamame or overload of jalapenos. While their prices are reasonable for seafood/sushi I no longer found the price of the meal worth chancing some unruly flavors soiling the dish. That being said, these were just my personal experiences and I had a higher critique due to previously eating here often. If you aren't eating here often you'll probably enjoy. read more

Believe in the hype about this place because IT. IS. REAL. From the customer service to the actual food, Fresh Fin is definitely a 5 star establishment. They have a couple of tables right outside and I brought my dog with me. I couldn't take her inside but the lady at the counter was kind enough to take my order over the phone, come outside to grab my card, and then bring my bowl out to me. Amazing customer service! I got the spicy tuna bowl and added some crispy garlic. It was seriously the bomb. SO much flavor and when they say spicy, they mean spicy.
