I love Poke and have been to many different places, including in Chicago and Montreal. Madison has great food as well so I came with high expectations.Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the quality of the rice. The ingredients were fresh, but the rice tasted like day old rice that you might put in fried rice. Most of poke is rice so this definitely affected my experience with the food. I also would have appreciated more sauce.Service and atmosphere were good!

Poke poke has merged with Feast Dumplings on Willy St and we are so happy we can still get the delish poke dishes! Loved the atmosphere in the new location- really nice and the food is excellent. We had Scallop Shumai for appetizer (forgot to snap a pic darnit) and it was spectacular! My hubby had the classic Hawaiian poke bowl and I had the Signature Ocean feast poke bowl. Yumsterfest!

We couldn’t find this place until we called the restaurant and were told that this place is a part of Feast Artisan Dumpling restaurant. The restaurant is beautiful, trendy and has a nice, relaxing vibe.The Poke bowls are a part of the Artisan Dumpling menu, so you can also order other things on the menu. I ended up getting Big Frog bowl with purple rice, which is their vegan bowl. You can also make your own bowls. We ordered at the restaurant for a takeout and the food arrived pretty quickly. While the poke bowl wasn’t exactly traditional, but it was delicious and so refreshing! The portion size is not too big either. I would highly recommend dinning in here.Vegetarian options: Has pre-made veggie bowl option or you can make your own.

The addition of Poki Poki to Feast is really nice and broadens the food choices in a very positive way.Vegetarian options: My vegetarian wife had plenty of selections.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access via the front door off the sidewalk.

So, this WAS my favorite place to get food. Always fresh and delicious. The restaurant moved into its sister restaurant and the quality turned into, honestly, the worst ever. I’ve given it 5 chances…..I’ve received undercooked rice, pineapple instead of mango, tuna silver-skin, etc. While I’d love to continue supporting your business, I just can’t continue to spend money on this new, low-quality.

Be aware: this place is not called Poke Poke. We walked up and down the street and around the block looking, but apparently "FEAST" is the same place. I heard multiple other patrons talking about the name confustion. Leaving my real review on the real name of the restaurant.

My first time having poke--this place has made me a convert! Delicious food and great vegetarian options. Easy online ordering.

There are plenty of places to get good Poke in Madison, but this is hands down the best. In fact, this is as good as any poke I have had anywhere, including Hawaii.
I've tried quite a few places in Madison, if not all the poke places and this one is the closest to flavors in Hawaii. In late 2021, we went to Hawaii and ate poke often. Coming back to Madison, we wanted the authentic flavors, which is usually a light sweet soy. Poke poke is the only place that has the correct flavors that we've been missing from Hawaii. Their fishes are also fresh and delicious. Definitely try the classic Hawaii, it's my favorite.

Some of the best poke my wife and I have had in Madison. Large portions, free add-ons of fruits, veggies, and nuts, reasonable prices; it's hands down are go-to place for poke, and even just sushi-style fish in general. The interior ambience is a bit drab, but still pleasant and not bad, just dull.Parking: Very little parking. Strip mall style building shared with other busy businesses, nearing the center of town, it's not surprising to find all spots filled more often then not. Suggest carryout by bike here.

Scrumptious! All whole, fresh food! I loved being able to build my own bowl! I was particularly glad to see a brown rice/spinach base option, several sauces to choose from, lots of veggies, and plenty of cooked protein options. They even allowed me to sample a couple sauces. It was so good, I had it twice in one day. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Best Poke in Madison - I keep trying others but none compare. Highly recommend the Hawaii green bowl.
