    Dole Whip!!! Regular size, it's HUGE!!!
    Bridget M.

    Let me start off by saying we were poke virgins. When I asked a friend what exactly poke is, and she told me, "you know burrito bowls? It's kinda like that with sushi." I have severe allergies to fish, shellfish, and seaweed, so I asked in advance how they handle these allergies. We ordered two regular poke bowls: chicken on white rice unagi style with cashews, and marinated tofu on white rice Hawaii style with kimchi. (The kimchi has no fish/seafood!) We also ordered a dole whip and a dole whip float The man who helped me order was incredible! He was very knowledgeable and incredibly patient with me. When I got the food home and opened it up, it was so enticing!!! There was so much food, it was so warm and fresh and I've never had anything like it! It also was a great learning experience on what to try next. We cannot stop singing the praises of Miko Poke and can't wait to try it again. Bonus, as a place who has a lot of raw fish, it was very refreshing that the inside didn't smell of fish!!

    We have been here so many times, I can't believe I haven't reviewed! This is a more expensive spot for poke, so we go on special occasions or do pickup when we deserve a treat. The bowls are generally excellent and we have always been happy with feeling full. I recommend the salmon bowl and building your own ingredients. Maker to get the dole whip! Sometimes the fish tastes really fresh, other times it is just room temperature. We've also done pickup a couple of times in the past 6 months and the orders were not ready when they were supposed to be -- twice our order was 10-15 minutes late. The parking lot is a horrible disaster, so hanging out was tough. Also, the dole whips are hollow and that drives me nuts. Definitely eat here, we are big fans!

    The great thing about Miko Pole is that you can customize your poke bowl just the way you want it. Our favorite place for poke and don't forget a cup of the Dole Whip!

    Got our takeout from here for the Yelp night! As the first poke place in town, they introduced us to poke and they are still our favorite. They always have pretty good portioned bowls with lots of veggies. You can get some great heat from serrano and wasabi. You can get some great savory from cashews and crispy garlic (one of my favorite ingredients). Whether you make you own or specialty bowls, they have always been good. I will caveat that with we generally get the tuna. As a tip, maybe get the sauce on the side because you can get more control of it, and possibly more, which is what it seems like this time. All of the sauces have been good, although I could have had a little more heat from the carrot habanero fire sauce. But if you have serranos in your bowl, you probably wont miss the heat in the sauce.

    Salmon Unagi Style Poké with radishes added
    Malia Y.

    Over the last year, they have made upgrades. Their tiny cups turned into bowls, a vast improvement from my first visit. Lighter handling on the sauces as it tends to oversaturate the bottom. The menu that used to jump around in the way ordered turned streamline with adding toppings. I'm not sure how I truly feel about this, but I see this appealing to first time customers who haven't had poke before or have no idea what to order. The menu still allows me to customize my own with an added cost for some options. It's Qdoba style-esque where you order at the counter and it's readily available. Getting down to taste: the aioli could use a flavor upgrade. I had my order to go this time and probably should've put some poke sauce before leaving. I prefer the taste of salmon over tuna but both are fresh. I'm still a repeat customer so they're definitely doing something right.

    Large Hawaii style
    Cam B.

    This place came highly recommended but we didn't love it. Had one Hawaii style large bowl and one make your own spicy tuna bowl regular size. See the pics- same amount of food in both, just a different size bowl (and price!). Hawaii style over greens was swimming in sauce in the bottom (I get there wasn't rice to sop it up but if greens are an option then they should know to adjust ratios), and flavors underwhelming. Picking ingredients was fun for the build your own as selection was good, but 'spicy' tuna was not spicy at all and sauces were flavorless. Even with half greens and half rice there was wayyy too much sauce. The tuna in the Hawaii bowl was different than in the build your own? Hawaii bowl tuna was much better and seemed a lot fresher. Overall unsatisfying and there's better poke in town. Typical food fight restaurant- lots of potential but just not all the way there.

    Build your own Ahi BYO Tuna with poke sauce, spicy aioli and scallion ginger sauce

    Another great experience here! Big portions, fresh, delicious food! I will definitely be back

    Hawaiian poke
    Kate K.

    I've heard good things about Miko Poke so I stopped by on a whim this afternoon for a late lunch. The regular sized bowl is a good size and filled with fresh good quality ingredients. I tried the original Hawaiian with white rice and had the aoli on the side. The person who started my order handed it off to someone else to finish without passing along my "no scallions" request, so I had to repeat myself. Also, I think they both added poke sauce when they had the bowl so the rice on the bottom ended up far too salty to eat. Still, it was a good meal and a nice addition to the Madison food scene. The one really disappointing thing is that the restaurant uses all disposable plastic: bowls, cups, flatware; even if you're dining in. Given their efforts toward using sustainably harvested fish this doesn't make sense. I docked a star for the unnecessary waste.

    Super clear composting instructions! More of this!!
    Noelle L.

    My favorite poke place in Madison. Great ambiance (hello huge Tom Selleck mural and shark heads everywhere). Staff was quick with the orders. Everything is gluten free and there are a lot of vegetarian options. There are make your own options and also premade recipes which you can modify. Dole whips available! Two sauces on each table. The best composting system of any restaurant (thank you!!) Kid friendly. Lots of parking. We will definitely be back.

    Hawaii Style Poke.
    Khiang S.

    My first visit to Miko Poke. What a wonderful place to have lunch. The concept is similar to other Mexican fast food place. Build your own or start with theirs. The food is fresh, service is quick and food is delicious. Price is average but all in all a great place to grab fresh food. I tried the Hawaii Style as recommended and will definitely repeat it.

    Very interesting special this evening at Miko Poké.
    Michael W.

    Definitely happy with the grade of tuna served here. I almost wish this place was downtown, just because of how delicious it is. The setting is begging for the hipster crowd. The food makes it worth it for those of us who commute there. It's a bit like Chipotle/Mod Pizza for the deconstructed sushi crowd. You can customize your dish to get just the flavor you're looking for. Very tasty! Miko Poke has done a great job of doing a few good things very well. You simply must try it.

    Without a doubt, out of the 25 states I've visited across the United States, this restaurant has…read morethe best atmosphere and ambiance that truly captures the spirit of Colombia. Every detail on the walls, in the décor, and throughout the space reflects the cultural richness and folklore of our country. It was, without question, an emotional experience filled with wonderful memories. Tasting a liver with onions that instantly took me back to the Colombian Caribbean was unforgettable. The lulo, passion fruit, and mango juices were spectacular. The garlic-flavored rice, the lentils cooked to perfection, and the grandmother-style salad... in short, the food was simply outstanding. The service provided by Emily (Ecuador), Juan (Bucaramanga) , and María José (Bogotá) was a perfect 10 out of 10. I don't regret for a second having driven all the way from Chicago to Milwaukee (3 hours) just to visit this restaurant. I would return one hundred times over; especially because here you can truly feel the flavor, the energy, and the heart of Colombia all in one place.

    Food was solid! Very flavorful and didn't have a single bad dish…read more Service was probably one of the worst I have ever experienced. Our server was late, never checked up on us, and we got our food before our drinks. We had to request to get checked out because our server never came back. While paying, the person checking us out didn't say there was an 18% charge already included for tip until after we had clicked our selection to tip them. Place is cute, very spacious. Tl;dr, Service was not good, but food was decent.
