    The inside is a very cute and small to go place. They have very limited seating inside. To place your order, it is very simple by just filling out a sheet. All the bowls come with miso soup. The bowl itself was huge! And the pieces of fish were also a good amount. For the price, I think the bowl + miso soup combo is worth it. The quality of the ingredients they use are fresh as well.

    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!!

    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.

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

    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

    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!

    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 Mai Tai was so easy to drink. It was like juice but so dangerous because they don't skimp on the alcohol. For the poke specials, they do not add fillers. There's a good amount of toppings, and it's a good sizable portion. Fish is decently fresh. Definitely come in for them. Wings are okay, but they aren't the best that I've had. If I was in the area or happy hour crawling again, this would definitely be one of my go to spots.

While the organization and timing of the event were off, I have no issues with the food, staff or restaurant itself. Anyways, I organized my plate with a bit from multiple trays including salad, poke, fried tofu cubes, kimchi fried rice, and galbi cubes. If the food was indicative of the restaurant's standard menu offerings, then I really liked the kimchi fried rice and tofu. Not as big of a fan of the galbi cubes and poke, but I honestly can't really complain about catered, sponsored food. Overall seems like a solid spot in the city to satisfy Hawaiian food cravings.

It's tucked away from the rest of the bar with plenty of seating, so we could all sit comfortably and rest our feet after being in heels all day. We had a $1k minimum bar tab spend, which we easily met with about 30 of us having at least one drink. Bonus points for having a men's room, women's room, and two unisex stalls! I ordered a matcha martini since I really needed a little caffeine to sustain myself through karaoke afterwards as well, and it is now one of my favorite cocktails. Super creamy with the delicious notes of pineapple and coconut, and you can't really taste the alcohol (just the way I like it). Half our table ordered one after trying mine! We also grabbed some duck fat fries to share, and they were well fried, crispy and not greasy feeling. Thank you Fermentation Lab for having us!

Service was pretty good and friendly but had to kind of flag down our waiter on both occasions at the end, not a huge deal. It's a nice place to catch up with a friend and quiet enough to have a conversation. Both times, my friends enjoyed the drinks they got- the chocolate negroni and a matcha martini. The second visit we came specifically for the matcha martini and also got the churros (chocolate sauce and matcha sauce) and a matcha basque cheesecake. The matcha lover I was with was very happy though for me, the matcha cheesecake was a bit much. It is very matcha forward and you will enjoy it if you love matcha. I liked the churros a lot and the portion was super genrous. Also got the brussel sprouts on the first visit which were solid - a bit on the salty side but pretty enjoyable and it was also a huge portion. Overall I'd definitely come back here. I'd been to their old location on Market street a bunch of times many years ago and loved it. This is very different in most ways but also good. Parking is easy enough - both street parking and in a garage. Not sure how busy they get but at least after 9 pm on a weeknight both times, it was not very busy but also not dead. They are open pretty late which is also good.
