Poke Plus Madison

Paid $18 for a large bowl. They wanted to charge me an extra 75 cents to put it in a “super” size bowl. I just wanted it so I had room to mix the stuff together, otherwise it just falls everywhere. I also had to pay an extra $1 for some sauce. They barely put on enough without getting the extra size. Not to mention the crispy onions topping is $1 extra too. What a scam. Try one of the other places around State st. and save your money.

Quiet on a weekday evening (during the summertime with less students)! Nice seating by the windows looking out. Very fresh fish and ingredients overall. We had high-quality bowls. Love that you can build your own! They have Ramuné in fridges by the cash register.

Pretty good poke place. I really love poke bowls. We went to Poke It Up first but their restaurant smelled so bad I didn’t think I could eat there. Not sure if it was rotten seafood or not but this place was clean and inviting. I got the Hawaiian bowl. My boyfriend got a custom made one. I never had baby octopus before. I felt a bit like I should have blindfolded myself like people who eat those whole birds…hopefully readers have watched Succession…because those babies were delicious but made me feel guilty. Octopi are beautiful, intelligent creatures. Makes me want to go vegetarian. But the bowl was the freshness I needed after throwing up via a late night Wings Over Madison order. There was a parking garage close by too.

The food was delicious, but I wonder a bit about management. I asked for a smaller size of one of their signature bowls and had to pay MORE for it. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat all of the larger bowl, so I paid more not to have waste. I'll probably find another poke restaurant.

Best poke I’ve ever had, hands down. I’ve gone to MANY poke places before, but poke plus is superior in terms of speed, freshness/taste, portioning, price, and cleanliness. People who say otherwise probably haven’t gone to many other poke places. This is one of Madison’s hidden gems.
