We were not sure what to expect when we read that it had Hawaiian food but we wanted to give it a try. The inside is sparsley set up with not a lot of seating. Based on the amount of people who came in while we were there, it seems to deal more with carryout orders. The employees were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I will definitely go back the next time that I am in Madison.
Freshly made delicious bowls. Excellent experience all around. Highly recommend for poke bowls. The portions are huge easily enough for two people.
The food was tasty. I liked that they had so many sides and there was a variety of tastes in one bowl. If I do not get sick tomorrow, I will go there again. Haha.
We stopped here for a quick lunch after dropping our son off at college. The place was at a very convenient location, and the poke bowls were delicious! It was nice that you could choose from 3 different size bowls AND yoi could customize your bowl to your liking. The only reason for the 3 star atmosphere rating was that it was very small inside and the tables could have used a wioe down. That wouldn't be a show stopper for us. We'd gladly dine here again!

Let the employee know it was my first time in and asked them for their best poke, and they chose “Signature Ocean Feast.”
I would not recommend what I got to anyone. The fish did not taste fresh, there was too much mayo/aioli to be enjoyable, and the mango was crunchy, unripe, and bland. While I appreciate how quickly my food was ready, the quality is just not there, and the price was too high ($18.20) for what I received.

Really well thought out combinations of flavors, textures and proteins, as well as friendly service, makes this my favorite poké spot in Madison. They also have a small but nice selection of not-the-usual drinks.
We used the online ordering and picked up. First time ordering from here. The bowls are stunning to look at. They tasted absolutely delicious. We’ve ordered from a few other places and this is definitely our favorite new place. Quick service. Bag was waiting on a table in front of the counter. You have to pay in the store. Big thumbs up.
Tasty, friendly service, and nice presentation. I got the spicy style bowl, which was done in about 1 min. It was tasty. The fish was fresh, and the sauce was good, but it was a bit heavy on the onions. The ambiance could use a little more effort; some music and a fresh coat of paint would do wonders.
