Came in on a Wednesday early evening to order to go. It's in a very convenient location on state street right near campus. I ordered the eel donburri. Service 4/5: food came out relatively quickly Food 4/5: the tempura was crispy and the eel was delicious Ambiance 4/5 Price 4/5 read more

Poke Plus & Teriyaki - Eel Donburi - Hawaiian Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

$16 for 3 ounces of fish a little bit of toppings and barely any sauce. If you want to get scammed, this is a place for you!

I wanted a light dinner, but not as light as what I got. I ordered a regular bowl with spring mix. For my choice of two proteins I had spicy tuna and poke salmon. I have no complaints regarding freshness or quality. My gripe is with quantity. The "scoops" were each incredibly meager, only a couple of tablespoons per fish. There was an up charge for a lot of ingredients that are commonly free (like imitation crab and seaweed salad), with a pretty limited list of free extras. Again the food itself wasn't bad but the value was not there to bring me back. read more

Poke Plus has been my go-to for quick abs affordable poke. It's located on state street and is a small store with limited indoor seating. I have gotten the large bowl there multiple times (includes 3 protein, sides, and multiple toppings) and have always left feeling satisfied. The quick service, selection of toppings, and overall solid poke makes this venue my go to spot. While Poke Plus isn't the flashiest poke venue in Madison, it's definitely consistent in food and the portion size is worth it in my opinion! read more

Poke Plus & Teriyaki - Large Poke Bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

My family and I were in town to visit. We were happy to try this restaurant. The restaurant was cleaned and organized. My husband and I had steak teriyaki. The meat was chewy that we can not chew. My daughter had chicken teriyaki. It was fine. I will come back to try other dishes. But I will definitely not try steak again. read more

Delicious and fresh! Had the ahi tuna poke bowl with basically everything on it. Mmmmmm.

Awesome poke, great selections that I don't see elsewhere. I have only ever ordered from here for delivery, so I can not comment on the ambiance or service. I can only comment on the poke. The poke bowls I have had from Poke plus have been awesome. The proteins are fresh and great quality. They have selections (octopus, squid) that I have not seen at other poke restaurants. Their rice is great, their sauces are delicious, their ingredients are fresh. All poke can be kind of expensive, so in terms of price, this is basically up to par with the rest of the places you can get poke. This is definitely becoming a go-to for poke in Madison. I would say that it's better than Miko Poke, Poke Bar, and Fresh Fin. read more

Found a giant bug in their soup. There was a terrible smell outside of the restaurant and should have not gone into such establishment. read more

I come here once a week on average, sometimes more. I used to indulge when visiting State street and now I make a point of coming to State just to visit my favorite Poke place. I've tried the other new places in the area and they simply can't compare. Some of those places emphasize their atmosphere but the food and wait times are pitiful. Poke Plus is the real deal and the food is fresh and amazing. I always get seaweed and kani (crab salad) in excess with full ice cream scoops of sushi. If I had the same amount in sushi rolls, it would run me $50 or more. A large bowl here with three protein options is a big dinner for about $14. What a deal. The staff are always super nice and efficient. We sometimes get the teriyaki, which is also great, and the timing is quick from kitchen to table. They now have a gender-neutral bathroom! You should eat here -- it's outstanding. Plus, chances are that I'll be here since I can't get enough. read more

Poke is good. Fried rice is not. Would recommend the poke! Got a spicy tuna and tofu bowl with brown rice and veggies. Don't let the size of the bowl fool you. It's a big meal. The kimchi beef fried rice was not worth ordering. It didn't have much kimchi and barely any beef. No flavor. Skip it. Stick with the poke bowls. read more

I'be been in many Japanese restaurants, from high end one to the to go ones and I gave at least 3 stars for each of them. However, this restaurant is an exceptional to earn "one star" in my opinion. First impressions when I walked in was the food layout pretty like Chipotle. So I decided to order beef teriyaki, one of Japanese popular dish. The price was about average compared with other restaurants. Well, here come the bowl, it looked pretty promising. I took a first bite with a piece of beef, and split it right out, because it was not a beef. It is tasted like undercooked pork and it was very hard to chew. Well maybe I had bad piece, so second one, it was the same as the first one. The veggies were fine. The moment I tried the rice and come to conclusion, this is NOT a Japanese dish, because the rice was lose and undercooked. The cooker who added more teriyaki to the dish sauce than it should, causing the dish so salty. I ended up to toss the whole dish, because I couldn't eat it. Sorry, I tried to figure out what is other positive about the dish so that I can bump my review to 2 stars, but there is none. read more

Food was amazing! I had it delivered and it was still hot upon delivery. There was just enough sauce throughout the rice. Would order from here again when I come back to town. read more

Glad a poke place had finally made it to State Street! I had half greens and half brown rice with a build your own. Greens leave little to be desired, skip 'em unless you like iceberg lettuce. Price point is about right for a poke place, but maybe a little expensive considering other nearby options (~13 for a large, BYO). I had salmon, poke salmon, and poke tuna. Fish tasted fresh and toppings were plenty! I appreciated that they offered tobiko as well. Sauces were solid, I had poke sauce and spicy mayo, neither of which overpowered the bowl. It was a solid combo that was savory and so so so filling. Service was fast, seating is limited, so be prepared to take your meal on the go if many people are around. I'm excited to come back and eat more poke! read more

Quality of ingredients is seriously gross. Lots of what looks to be ingredients. I have tried it twice and found that it the fish has a very noxious smell as well. Time for this place to go or at least have a health inspector drop by!!! read more

I'm so down for the explosion of poke places in Madison, Wisconsin. I was in Hawaii last summer and literally still dream about the abundance of fresh, buttery, flavorful poke that you could find there pretty much any place you went. I've not yet made it out to other poke places in Madison but if they're anything like Poke Plus, I'd say Madison is in pretty good poke hands. This location replaces the old Disco Fries restaurant, which I never entered but walked by every day and was not surprised to see go under because I hardly ever saw anyone in there. I think the location works much better as a poke place - it's a quick light lunch you can grab to go and the service is quick and efficient. The fish is fresh and the sauces are yummy - probably the only qualm is portions are a bit small for what you pay but it is poke so I'm happy to pay it. I also got their salmon teriyaki too go one day and it was very satisfying - a surprising amount of fish and very flavorful. Definitely will add Poke Plus into my rotation of "i'm on campus and want to have lunch but don't want to eat at the Union" places. read more

Huge DIY Poke Bowl The base is white rice, brown rice, mix green or half and half. You could choose different proteins for different prices. Choose as many as free basic toppings. Regular - $8.99 (2P) Large $11.99 (3P) and Super $14.99 (5P). Some toppings such as avocado and seaweed salad cost extra $0.5. You could choose from various sauces such as Poke, ginger Dressing, sesame dressing, spicy Mayo and so on. I added the Garnishes Tempura Crunch and dried seaweed. Like both! Really love DIY Oder processing. I choose all free topping besides the onion. Greedy girl! This new poke restraint is more close to Chinese flavor. Highly recommend! A healthy choice for the summer season! read more

This is our grab & go fresh bowl of poke. We love it here. Always looking forward to coming back every time.

Been dying to try Poke as the pictures look very good! The food didn't disappoint at all, easy 5 stars. However, it's pretty pricey for the portion. I would come back more and even get some to go if it isn't for price. Another thing, I find the server is quite unfriendly. Maybe they're tired or in a rush to finish their job but they definitely don't make you feel welcomed at all! read more

Just bad. Small portions, way overpriced. They also left off our sauce on both orders. "5 scoops of fish" is 5 thimbles. Absolutely not worth it. read more

The food is good, but they skimp on portions. Like, they don't fill the scoop on your protein. Also, the spoons they give out are flimsy. Bowls are half-filled. For 10-20 bucks you'd at least expect a full bowl of food. Giving small portions and using lower quality fish is not the way to survive on State Street. They're gonna have to do better. read more

Absolutely delicious. I'm not sure what sauce they put on the rice but it really makes the bowl taste great. My only complaint is it's a bit pricey for the size. Their regular should be a small, and their large should be a regular. read more

Fast service to be in and out with your poke. Various options to choose from and the menu is clear and what costs extra and what doesn't. Fish was decently fresh and they have generous spoonfuls of the add-ons. read more

pretty lit, way better than the fries place that was there before. it's kind of like a qdoba style restaurant but instead of making a burrito bowl you're making a sushi bowl. some of the toppings cost a bit extra but not a ton. the sizes might look small but it surprisingly fills you up pretty well. the quality is pretty good and the fish tastes fresh. it's pretty small and has limited seating, the couple times i went it seemed pretty popular but we were able to find seats. i don't know why so many poke places are opening up in madison lately, but so far i like this one the best. it also has a pretty convenient location! read more

Honestly, poke plus is simply not worth it unless you're really craving poke and can't get to fresh fin or poke it up. Although they give you unlimited toppings, they load the bowl with one or two topping and then sprinkle the rest on. Also, the amount of fish given is minuscule. read more

Very reasonably priced for poke. You most definitely get what you pay for! The salmon and tuna just melt in your mouth. You can combine as many sauces as you like, and each one is very flavorful in its own way. Selection of toppings is amazing as well! Everything is delicious and adds much more flavor and excitement to your bowl. Very friendly staff and comfortable seating setup. Highly recommend to stop in and enjoy a poke bowl here! read more

I got the Badger Bowl and I was pretty disappointed. Overall it was pretty gross- it was absolutely drowned in sauce, the two types of salmon and tuna were indistinguishable from each other, the veggies were dried out. The brown rice base was fine but it was more of a barley style grain than brown rice I've had before. The spiciness level was perfect, though. read more

Asked to stir poke into rice before adding ingredients, a simple task. The counter girl told us they can't do that, but the poke store down the street, Poke It Up, would do that. The counter girl got the manager who berated us for asking for that preparation. Very cold interaction. What the manager doesn't realize is that I will now walk to Poke It Up and get what I ask for. She lost my business for the rest of the year, which amounts to quite a lot of money. read more

Tried a sample when I was walking State Street about a week ago. 2 sweet gals were giving samples out front. It was awesome! Going back today so I can get an entire bowl. Flavor was off the charts and tuna just melted in my mouth. Update: even better than expected. Everything is in front of you. You just tell them what you want in it. It's like a dissected sushi roll read more

Great food, I like it. Everything fresh and nicely made. Service is good. Best restaurant on State street. Will come back soon. read more

Stumbled across this place when I was having one of those not sure what I want to eat moments. Had the regular poke bowl. Two proteins (tuna and salmon for me) along with a nice selection of additional ingredients. The staff was friendly and there was a steady stream of UW students coming in. While it wasn't the very best poke I have ever tried, I was glad we stopped. Enjoyed the poke sauce and the portion size was big enough for what I wanted at the moment. I would not hesitate to go back when in town. read more

I go here once a week, no joke. I have tried poke at most places in Madison and this place is the best. High quality ingredients that are always fresh and consistent! If I could give 6 stars, I would. read more

Ok. First I am not sure if the other reviewers have actually had authentic poke...but it is not 5 stars...now don't get me wrong it is not bad...but it is not 5 stars. Quality and ingredients are all fine, but the flavor profile of the true tuna poke is lacking. This restaurant for what it is, fast and easy poke is fine, and the value is good, but if you are expecting exceptional (eg 5 star) poke that it is not. read more

This is a great addition to State Street. Overall the restaurant is inviting with clear signs directing you where to order. They offer the poke bowls in three sizes. I ordered a large which is actually the middle size offered. After selecting your rice you get an unlimited choice of veggies although there is a surcharge for a few options. I was also impressed that I was allowed to pick up to three proteins. I selected the salmon, ahi tuna, and poke tuna. They also offer a lot of sauces to finish off our bowl. I selected the sesame sauce and poke sauce. The menu above also describes what goes in each sauce. The final product is very tasty, fresh, and colorful. Overall the employees are very friendly and answer any questions that you may have. The interior space is a little small so you might end up sharing a spot at a big communal table with others. I plan to come back and give their teriyaki a shot. I highly recommend it to others. read more
