Happy Poke runs as a build-your-own poke counter in Cow Hollow, small enough that regulars order off mini clipboard menus and carry their bowls to a handful of outdoor tables. Fish is cut sashimi-style and sliced visibly to order, paired with toppings like corn, avocado, edamame, and seaweed salad over vinegar-soaked rice. The Happy Poke Favorite Combo layers salmon, tuna, and crab with the house poke sauce and spicy mayo; a Sashimi Combo offers salmon, tuna, and hamachi on their own, and the Unagi Bowl brings grilled eel over rice with unagi sauce and the same vegetable toppings. Orders come with a side of miso soup.
The place has built a reputation as a hole-in-the-wall worth seeking out, known for the freshness of its fish and for the kind of personal, owner-driven service that keeps people coming back despite the premium pricing for the format.
