Ruyi Hand Pulled Noodles

Number three on the list is Ruyi Hand Pulled Noodles. This hidden gem is a favorite to many. The delicious variety of noodle soups and soup dumplings make it the perfect go-to stop. The noodles are a perfect consistency and the soup broth makes it a body-warming dish to eat on a cold winter day. Ruyi also offers a variety of dessert buns,including matcha bunswith boba, which are top-ranked. The restaurant is much better to eat at than have delivered, and the service is exceptional. If you have not checked out Ruyi, put it on your bucket list immediately.

While Wisconsin’s long and frigid winters are a far cry from Hawaii’s balmy temperatures and ocean breeze, the wide variety of poke restaurants on campus make it possible for students to get a taste of paradise right in Madison. We broke down 3 of the most popular poke spots among UW-Madison students:

Poke it Up

PokeItUpoffersanextensiverangeofhouse-created bowls for all tastes. Unlike other Poke destinations, Poke it Up also serves sushi burritos. These unique creations are made of sushi rice, proteins, veggies, and are wrapped in roasted seaweed. Although I have never tried the sushi burritos from Poke it Up, I plan to pick up one of these fusion treats on my next visit. Whether you opt for a traditional poke bowl or an adventurous sushi burrito,you can’t go wrong at Poke it Up.

Poke Plus

Located right on state street, Poke Plus is a convenient option for students to grab a quick meal in between classes. One major perk of Poke Plus is its personalized bowls. The menu is designed so that customers can select their own size, bases, proteins, toppings, and garnishes. However, the menu still includes a few house-crafted bowls for more indecisive diners. The “Badger Bowl”(anod to the restaurant’s location on campus) includes salmon, kani salad, spicy mayo, wasabi, and more. Both its central location on campus and high-quality ingredients make Poke Plus perhaps the most popular poke destination among UW-Madison students.
