Local Poke | Our Story

Fresh Fish, Hawaiian Heart

Local Poké is a fast-casual poke restaurant founded by two friends with a simple vision: bring classic Hawaiian poke to the mainland, with a modern twist on a timeless classic. From day one, the promise has been the same at every location, every order: Prepared Daily, Fresh Sushi-Grade Fish, Quick and Clean. Everything starts with the fish. We strive to serve the freshest sushi-grade fish possible, prepped daily, and we build our menu around customizable poke bowls that give our patrons total control. You pick the base, the protein, and the toppings, and we load them in with a generous hand. AAA Ahi tuna poke bowls and sushi-grade Salmon poke bowls are the heart of our menu, alongside our famous Poke Nachos, fully customizable and piled high on daily-prepped wonton chips. Whatever you build, it starts with sushi-grade fish and ends exactly the way you want it. Online poke bowl ordering is available now, along with delivery via DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats.

Started on Washington Avenue

Local Poke was born on Washington Avenue by people who missed the real thing and decided to make it themselves. The counter, the generous portions, the welcome — same from day one.

Sushi-grade, every single day

We use sushi-grade Tuna and Salmon, prepped fresh daily — not a marketing line, just what the fish requires. If it doesn't meet the standard, it doesn't go in the bowl.

Your bowl, your call

Pick your base, your protein, your mix-ins, your sauce — the bowl is yours to build, not ours to script. Avocado comes standard, no upcharge, because it should.

Beyond the bowl

Poke Nachos — sushi-grade fish over daily-made Wonton Chips — sit alongside Spam Musubi and Sushi Bake: real island comfort food, not an afterthought.

From Houston to Pleasanton

The same ethos that launched us on Washington Ave now runs in Pleasanton, California — same fish standard, same generous portions, same welcome. Wherever we open, nothing changes.
