Delicious. Very friendly staff. Clean with nice jazz music. Brown rice! The salmon is the perfect temperature, a generous portion and very yummy. Toppings have a great mouth feel; spicy, crunchy, tangy-- they hit the senses well! I wish they had yellowtail, but outside of California, hardly any poke place does.

Delicious poke with large variety of toppings and great portions! Service was typical for fast casual-setting. I chose to order the "create your own poke". I selected brown rice, a mix of ahi tuna and salmon along with a variety of toppings (a few highlights of toppings I haven't seen at other local poke shops included pickled radish, tobiko). Avocado cost extra but my order literally came with half of an avocado on top of my poke, so I ended up sharing some of my avocado with my family members who didn't order avocado. For sauce, I chose the wasabi mayo sauce and chose to have it on the side so I could dress my poke to taste. I was really impressed by the poke bowl - fresh ingredients, good value for portion size, delicious sauce. They also have a great self-serve condiment bar (including wasabi, white and pink ginger, selection of furikake [japanese rice seasoning]) as well as complimentary self-serve beverages (tea and lemon-infused water -- though of note, there was no water available when we visited due to issues with water pipes according to the owner, so he offered us complimentary bottled water).

This is SUCH A GEM. Coming from California wasn't expecting anything spectacular and this totally exceeded my expectations. Got the vegetarian bowl (forgot the name) but it is so fresh and the sauce is so flavorful and delicious. It is just soooo good. Ate it twice in one weekend

New poke spot in the downtown/east side of Madison? I definitely had to stop by! I completed my order online for carry out, after work. The website was easy to use and had to option to link to FB--so why not? Especially since the site offers a free bowl after ordering 10 times through the site. The site gives you the option to pick up as early as the next 15-20 minutes. I ordered two custom bowls, a large for the Hubs and regular for myself, and opted to pay in store. I arrived 15 minutes after ordering. Parking was probably the worse part of this experience. The lot is small and shared with several other businesses. I parked around the corner, across from Wah Kee. A young lady greeted me and had my order ready to go. She was nice, and we chatted quick about how business is and the parking. She said it was probably due to the CrossFit classes occurring during this time. I'm here thinking, what a great place for these CrossFit'ers to eat! Decor was basic, but tables and chairs were plenty! Poke bowls were delicious! Vegetables and protein were fresh, and plenty. The fruit (mango and pineapple), however, seemed like they might have been canned. The other flaw was that my regular sized bowl didn't leave much room for me to mix ingredients/flavors. I'm also a huge sauce fanatic so next time I order, I will likely request for extra sauce on the side.

My favorite poke spot in Madison. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and they will cater to all your requests. If you want something, or everything on the side they can do that too. Extra kicking wasabi dressing andthey will make that for you with a smile. The regular size bowl is definitely a large meal or enough to enjoy some for later. Parking can get tricky some times but it always works out. Make sure to get the rice puffs to add a crunchy texture to you bowl. Try the pickled ginger to cleanse your palate, go for the natural color not the pink. And try something different every once in a while to see what you like best. Get on their rewards program and you will something free every once in a while. A Groupon got me in the door and I have been a regular customer ever since and have introduced other as well. Enjoy.

Fresh and delicious poke. Salmon, shrimp, tuna are fresh. I love the cute octopus So sad today the snow crab salad is sold out. Did not have a chance to try... If you are a fun of sushi and sashimi and poke style food, you are welcome to have a try though the price is little higher than my estimation. Also I wish the sushi/protein part and rice part ratio is reversed. I mean more protein and less rice since I am not a fun of rice. Just asking too much The other thing is that I think for me the rice is a little under cooked but my friend loves this taste! All servers here are very friendly. The environment is really clean and nice with good and simple decoration!!

I should preface this by saying that I don't love poke. I went with a friend who does love it. We visited around 6:30 PM on a Wednesday night. Parking was sparse, but the restaurant wasn't crowded. Service was fast and friendly. (Many people stopped in for takeout during our meal.) I built my own bowl (with tempura shrimp), and my friend had the signature ocean feast. We both had the regular size bowl (not the large) and no drinks. The total was just under $30. The bowls were made to order with fresh ingredients. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. You pick up your own condiments and utensils. There was a water station that was stocked with small paper cups (like bathroom cups). The atmosphere was...eclectic. The decor was a mix of Asian and beach that just didn't work for me. I was left feeling underwhelmed. I know high quality, fresh ingredients are expensive, but $30 seemed expensive for dinner for two. A little extra something (like improved atmosphere or more attention to details in the experience) might have made for a more positive experience.

I tried this place for the first time last week. It's frustrating that most of the poke places are all right downtown (which means no parking!), but I just happened to be downtown during lunchtime AND Poke Poke is one of the only places with a free parking lot. Double win! I created my own bowl, and was very satisfied with what I got. I got both salmon and tuna in my bowl, and while they were quite good I love when places also have a pre-marinated tuna or salmon. Oh well. I used brown rice as a base and added carrots, cilantro, scallions, tobiko, edamame, and half an avocado. I wish the avocado had been fully cut and mixed into the bowl, but it was thinkly cut length-wise so it was very easy to just do it on my own. It's a very pricey add, but totally worth it. I finished my bowl off with shoyu and teriyaki sauces. I had been a bit worried that two sauces (you get to pick up to three) might be too much and drown the bowl, but it most certainly did not. In fact, next time I will make sure to add a second helping of one of them, as two was definitely not enough to really get a ton of flavor out of the sauces, especially over the fish. I even added a bit of soy sauce to the bowl when I got it home. I ordered the regular size, which is their middle size. The smallest one they had was called "bite size" which sounds far too small for me on a hungry lunch break. However, the regular is actually quite sizeable and the "bite size" would probably be a great size. My bowl was really expensive, but the portions were good and I would definitely return here.
