| - You really can't go wrong in my book with some fresh and delicious raw fish, and Miko Poke always hits the mark on that one! It's really the perfect summer dinner, especially on those sweltering days in Madison. My first experience was mediocre, but I think that's because I just went with one of their pre-made bowls. Pro tip: always, always get a make your own bowl. I always do the regular size with an extra scoop of fish because why not! Never fear, your gut feeling about what you want in your bowl is going to be just right.
If you're curious, I'll let you in on my very own secret recipe: a medium make your own bowl with white rice (carries the flavors better) and four scoops of fish (one tuna, one albacore, two salmon). Add the poke sauce, the ponzu sauce, and a little yuzu. The toppings: avocado, radish, cucumbers, cilantro, green onion, and Serrano peppers (the peppers are not for the faint of heart, let me tell you. I may or may not start crying at least once every bowl). Garnishes: crispy garlic, fried shallots, sesame seeds, and shake a whole lot of the Japanese 7 spice seasoning and chili flakes on the counter next to the cash register on top. Voila!! The perfect bowl, according to Amanda.
The only reasons this isn't five stars are that 1) they can be really, really slow. Yeah, I know, build your own bowl takes time, but if you've got 5 people in line each getting two bowls with one being relayed over text message or the phone... You get the picture. 2) it's kind of on the pricey side. But hey! For a delicious poke bowl with sustainable fish, I'll splurge every once in a while!
