Who said salads have to be boring? I recently tried @freshfinpoke with a friend for lunch and it was a game-changer! I ordered the new Sesame Chopped Salad with mixed greens, shredded kale, purple cabbage, carrot, cucumber, edamame, red onion, cilantro, creamy ponzu, sesame ginger vinaigrette, crushed wonton chips, almonds, scallions, sesame seeds, I added roasted chicken and avocado for protein. The salad was incredibly fresh and made to order. I especially loved the crushed wonton chips--they added the perfect crunch! This was the first time my friend and I visited @freshfinpoke, and the staff was so helpful in guiding us through our orders. Highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Good quality salmon. Rice could have been better. Not into the sterile ambiance. Counter service. read more

A lovely spot in Hilldale for fresh, healthy, and delicious food options! I tried their new Salmon Caesar and the Spicy Tuna (as a wrap)! The sauce that came with the wrap was SO GOOD I need it bottled and sold to me so I can have it with everything. The salad was solid and the salmon was seasoned and cooked well. I'd love to come back and try some of their other bowls. read more

Fresh fin has wonderful Poke. Surprisingly fresh and I love how many options there are to choose from and customizable bowls. I thought the inside was really clean and had lots of seating options. I ordered to go, and my order was ready in 5 minutes. Staff were very kind and helpful. The spicy tuna bowl was perfectly spicy and i loved the sweet sauce on top read more

It's a solid spot for poke in Madison. It's not the best fish you'll ever have nor the cheapest/most expensive. It's clean on the inside and clearly catering to the Madison locals as the menu options for their usual bowls aren't that authentic, but it works. If I'm craving poke it's a spot I would go to but also be prepared to spend at least 15-20 bucks at for a single bowl that is actually filling. read more

Nice indoor seating that's well-lit and spacious, comfy and fuss free. Self-serve disposable utensil counter with fountain lemonade/drinks, soy sauce, etc. Nice pastel decor feels very coastal. Staff is always so smiley, attentive and happy to serve. You can also see into the open kitchen that is clearly so clean and well managed. I usually go for the build your own with salmon, and do appreciate the option of sweet potato in the toppings! No other spot in Madison has that, so it's always nice to have. Another fav here is the cilantro chicken bowl, so healthy, full of ginger and greens, and very fresh. Though not my fav poke fix in Madison, a great option in the Hilldale area. Kinda overloaded on rice ratio in my opinion, but I guess if you are hungry it's a good thing~ *will update with pics on my next visit! read more

Located right in Hillsdale Mall. Fast food style ordering. They have some seating inside and a few outside tables as well. It is definitely a fish place. It smells a little fishy when you walk in. I loved the decor. Cool lights and fish shapes hanging from the ceiling. The place seemed clean and well kept. My husband and I were looking for just a light lunch so we split the curry coconut with shrimp. It was good. Fresh with great flavor. We would definitely come back again. read more

After living in Hawaii for five months and having poke almost every day, I can truly say that FreshFin's quality is top-notch! I'm amazed every time I order a bowl just how fresh every single one of the ingredients are. Their menu combinations are almost endless with the build your own bowl option, and you can go half and half on the base ingredients to mix it up even more. I usually do that on a regular sized spicy tuna bowl, and it is easily enough for two people or two servings. They even have chicken as an option if fresh fish isn't your thing. I also love the numerous beverage options as well as the location in Hilldale with plenty of parking. Lastly the service has always been amazing and the decor is extremely clean and cute, plus the huge windows with all of the natural light is a big plus. They also have a rewards program and every time you use earned credits for a bowl FreshFin donates a meal to Feeding America! It's so nice to see a company actually giving back. Keep it up! read more

FreshFin makes some really yummy poke bowls! The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and the portions are very good. I'm a 6'2 guy, but the regular bowl is always enough to satisfy me, and it includes lots of protein! My favorite bowl is the spicy tuna. It's got just a little kick, and is also packed with lots of flavor. Sometimes I'll add pineapple just to throw a little twist in there :)! My friend always gets the Build Your Own bowl, and just picks whatever piques her interest! read more

Great poke, fast and efficient service. The spicy tuna is great as are the special creations. I haven't had a bad poke bowl here. I like the classic as well but it isn't quite as interesting. The seating is pretty nice too and the location is convenient. read more

Can we rate this a zero? I've worked at Hilldale and l ate here alot and LOVED it. A year later? What happened? The restaurant tables were ALL dirty with sauce crumbs and food including CHAIRS! Food let's talk about how it was prepared and served. We were served in plastic bowls that were COATED in what the staff member called sauce after washes. That is a hygiene issue and disgusting how you looked at all the bowls to say they all look like this. And I wiped the bowl to show her it was coming off. It wasn't wet sauce. Its CAKED. THAT this employeee was confused why it matters that the bowl was dirty. Only offering to TRANSFER THE FOOD TO ANOTHER BOWL. THE FOOD IS CONTAMINATED! The other employee with a bonnet on was annoyed as I hear her mumbling to either take the food OR LEAVE IT. And a third who looked at the bowl and offered to remake it FOR ANOTHER but by employee 2 with the bonnet who wants to serve us a bowl full of bacteria. So I sit up front to lowkey keep an eye out because it seemed that employee 2 might be a dirty person. Turns out it's TRUE. The entire time she's making the food she's giving DIRTY looks. mumbling to herself about it. And the good comes out twice as fast as it first did. Now im confused. Did you remake the food? Probably not. If you did, you skipped out on COOKING ANYTHING. The rice, veggies, carrots, chicken and tofu were ICE COLD. There were OTHER INGREDIENTS in our bowl too. And in one spoonful it tasted like it was tasted in sauce after defrosting and god knows what use nasty employee 2 with the pink bonnet may have done. We tossed it. I've worked at Hillsdale in the past. I've eaten here in the past. And I LOVED IT. So why did these nasty employees find it acceptable to be serving undercooked food in BACTERIA SMEARED BOWLS!?!? read more

Great restaurant addition to Hilldale! If only my husband would be open to giving it a try. I popped in to check it out around lunch time on a Sunday. Since it is a new restaurant, the learning curve for ordering is quite large. Since I wanted something quick, I ordered two appetizer dishes to go: Truffle Crab Salad and Cucumber Salad. Both were tasty and fresh. Can't wait to try a house-crafted bowl next time. All of the bowl combinations sound very delicious! read more

So delicious that I come to this healthy place for comfort food! My go-to is build-my-own bowl with white rice, Thai chili ginger, and sriracha aioli. You can choose your favorite protein and topping but don't miss out on Salmon! It's as fresh as the best Sushi place (Niji) in the great Madison area in my opinion. read more

Nice location and friendly service. However, for the price, I thought the flavors, quality-control, and value was subpar. The bowl looks like a heft portion until you realize it's 70% rice. They were a bit skimpy with the sauces and toppings which made it taste bland. But worst of all, I found a pebble in my bowl. There was also a sandy grittiness which made me thin something wasn't cleaned well. Seems others had a better experience so maybe this was a fluke . read more

I've been to FreshFin a few times and am always highly satisfied by the quality and quantity of food there. Most recently, I shared the Hungry Warrior poke bowl with my husband. It was easily enough food for both of us and featured fresh ahi tuna, shrimp, and crab on your choice of rice and was loaded with lots of delicious vegetables and the perfect amount of sauce. Every time we go, I'm impressed with how they are able to pack so much fresh flavor into each of their dishes. The menu gives customers tons of options in terms of types of poke bowls, the ingredients in each, and customizations available. Finally, the service at FreshFin is always great and quick. If you're looking for a delicious place to eat with tons of options, pick FreshFin! read more

Stopped by FreshFin for lunch and was not disappointed! I always choose to make my own bowl because then I can customize exactly what I want. With so many options, everyone is sure to find something they like. The portions are large, the ingredients are fresh, the store is clean, and the staff are friendly. Their crab salad is flavored with truffle which is an interesting alternative to the classic crab salad. My only critique would be that the sriracha aioli was not as spicy as I had hoped. Solid choice for poke in Madison! read more

I had one of the veggie bowls with tofu before a film fest movie. The veggies were fresh, and the service was very fast.

The service at this location is always extremely slow. It takes longer than 30 minutes for them to put together a poke bowl. You'd think a poke bowl wouldn't take very long to make. They taste delicious though. read more

Cute decor and adorable staff who work there. Both the counter order taker staff and the order preparer were sweet and kind. They are very attentive to your order details and make sure all the ingredients are fresh and nicely plated in your poke bowl. The tuna, shrimp, and caviar were so delicious. I tried the warrior bowl and it was pretty spicy (in a good surprising way), if you're into that! read more

Walked in to someone leaving at same time disgusted not knowing why. I was next in line and left after 20-25 minutes of waiting to place order. It appeared the single cashier was lining up a stack of old receipts to enter to get somebody points for a free meal maybe a delivery driver of some sort given the volume. This was during the 6 pm dinner rush today with a line out the door when I left with no end near to the situation. Never gave any attention to the individuals in the growing line to what was going on. Really needed to give some attention any attention to the potential customers who were going to actually pay for their meals. Won't be back. read more
