    Happy Poke serves take out bowls filled with rice and topped with fish and some sprinkles of vegetables. It looks pretty. It is flavorless and way too pricey for what it is. $25 for a bowl that you have to take out to eat is not what I will do again. It comes with unnessessary salty miso broth. Bummer!!

    Customizable bowl

    I finally gave this place a shot and don't regret it, but probably won't be rushing back. The fish quality was pretty good and I liked that the bowls were customizable and came with miso soup, but it didn't blow my mind for the cost ($50 for 2 bowls). There is very limited seating outside on the sidewalk, so we took it over to Fort Mason to sit on the field. There were at least 4 people working at once and they were very nice, I just don't know if I can justify coming back for the high price tag when there are other options like Basa in the city.

    Finally decided to try this spot that has been in my neighborhood for a while now The ingredients are all high-quality and you can taste it. I em was very pleased with the fresh salmon and tuna i got, as well as the greens, rice and toppings. That being said, you are paying a premium for the quality, and the quantity of proteins is going to be smaller than what you might get at other poke spots. The guy behind the counter was energetic and welcoming, and the woman who took my order was helpful.

    This place is a grab and go poke spot. You order on a sheet of paper and then they assemble it in front of you. They slice the fish in front of you as well. They have many options for toppings which I liked. The staff was very kind. Let me sample some sauces and answered my questions. The inside is clean and doesn't smell fishy. The bowl tastes good. I will say for the price, I wish they would give more fish and bigger quantity. The toppings tasted fresh though!

    I was walking by and craving something on the healthier side when I spotted Happy Poke and I am so glad I stopped in. I ordered the Happy Poke Favorite Combo and was honestly stunned by how incredible everything tasted. First of all the presentation was beautiful. Everything looked so fresh, colorful and thoughtfully put together. But the real star was the fish quality, absolutely outstanding. It tasted so fresh and clean, easily some of the best I have ever had. I have had poke dozens of times at different places and this was by far my favorite poke experience. Every ingredient complemented each other perfectly and you can really tell they care about quality here. I 100 percent recommend this place and will definitely be stopping by whenever I am craving poke again

    Really good addition to cow hollow/Marina! The fish is super fresh and they slice it like sashimi. Felt authentic and I liked that they didn't drench your bowl with sauce like other places sometimes do. Small grab and go vibe, super efficient. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

    Yummy poke! It's definitely a grab-and-go kind of place. They have you clipboards to fill out your order, and the food is ready in just a few minutes. Super efficient. There's no bathroom or indoor seating, but they do have two small outdoor tables that can seat about 4-6 people total (with a bench). The staff was fantastic--really friendly, attentive, and even came out to check on us and take our trash. That kind of service goes a long way. As for the food: the flavors were solid, and everything tasted fresh. One slightly odd thing was how finely they sliced the fish as one is prepping plate. Instead of adding the cut piece of tuna or whole shrimp, meat was precisely cut again until thin, then layered. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Great spot if you're in the area and looking for something quick and tasty!

    Still one of my favorites and got the unagi bowl. Might I add, so good. So so so good. Soft tasty. I love talking to the owner. He's super sweet. Will definitely be back for that unagi bowl cause that was amazing. I also didn't realize the carrots had a spice to it!

    Yep, this place is as great as the reviews say. The fish is fresh (it's sliced and served like sashimi instead of cubed like regular poke) and the ingredients are great quality. The staff is also SO kind, even giving us samples of sauces when we couldn't decide what to get. Each poke comes with miso soup, which was some of the best miso soup in the city. We also got the peach boba, which had large soft boba and was highly caffeinated. It was decent and not too sweet. The attention to detail here is unmatched, my favorite poke in the city!

    The best poke I've ever had! The fish was fresh, the toppings were perfect, and the sauces tied everything together so well.

    Poke bowl with fried tofu!

    This place is such a gem! They opened just a few weeks ago and it's a small shop that does poke bowls to go. There's a small bench outside where you can sit and enjoy your poke. Fish is so fresh since it's sashimi grade fish! They slice it in front of you and the portions are great too. Each poke bowl order comes with a side of miso soup. There's also an option to add ikura to your bowl which is my favorite! Boba drinks are also available and those are delicious too! Especially their matcha drinks. Owner also sells some special items on the weekends. A favorite of mine is their fried tofu. So perfectly crispy and delicious!

If you look at their yelp page, Google page, and website- it says they close at 11pm on Saturdays. I understand if I showed up at 10:30 or later but I feel like turning me and my 1 guest away 50 minutes before closing was a bit ridiculous. It's not like I rolled in with a party of 6 plus. It's not the fact that we got turned away, it's the fact that nowhere on any of their pages does it mention that if you show up 50 minutes before closing you'll be turned away, it seems a little misleading to put your closing time at 11pm and turn people away 10 minutes past 10. This forced me and my guest to scramble and look for another place to eat

Seating is limited here too, so we felt lucky to snag six seats during a busy weekend. They brought the food over after we ordered, the staff was very friendly, and the place stayed impressively clean even with the rush going on.

We were lucky to get a table, around 6:30pm on a Saturday, and it filled up fast. A line went outside from 7-9pm.

'OK' is the word that comes to mind when I think about this restaurant. Nothing stood out, and nothing was horrible. Would I eat here again? Meh, probably not. There are so many other good and fun restaurants around.
