The poke bowls we got were super fresh and the customizability made things really catered to one's taste! Food: The bowls we assembled had great portion sizes and each ingredient looked super fresh and enticing; especially the fish options. The spicy salmon was definitely my favorite! Service: The one-woman serving team swiftly made the ordered and they provided quick service at checkout. The poke bar area was also kept nicely clean. Atmosphere: The seating area is simple and no fuss. It's really just set up for quick visits.

so good, they had many options including different fruits (mango & tangerines). The fish was fresh and pretty fast service. Would so come back!!

I stumbled upon ONO Pokebar by chance. I literally drove across town and stopped at 3 other poke restaurants around 8pm this past Saturday before I came to ONO Pokebar because they were the only one still open! ONO has some pretty decent poke. They are located downstairs from a ramen restaurant and sorta hidden so be sure not to pass this small, family-owned place up! They have your standard poke ingredients and toppings. They do limit you on the toppings though which is kind of a bummer but that's ok, they don't have that many toppings anyways and 4 is enough. They do charge $1.50 extra for avocado which is a little hefty but they give you a good amount. They charge extra for tobiko (fish eggs) as well but they give you a nice-sized scoop and overall our poke bowls were pretty affordable. The staff here is nice and they gave big scoops of tuna and salmon in my bowl. They have some preset bowls on their menu but you can build your own as well. I liked my bowl - all the ingredients were super fresh and pretty good quality with a sufficient range of sauces, toppings, and add-ons to customize my bowl as I liked.

Sauce descriptions - not listed are the sriracha aioli (sriracha and, I think mayo? It's good) and wasabi shoyu (wasabi soy sauce)
Jessica B.

Super fresh, super fast, great flavor and the workers are always so friendly. I can't find a description of the sauces anywhere so adding a pic - I'm a big fan of the spicy miso and the yuzu, but I haven't had any I didn't like.

Ono Special Bowl
Abby J.

Went here on a whim and loved it! Ordered pickup and it was ready in 15 minutes. The ono special bowl was definitely our favorite of the two bowls we got. Very generous portion with fresh seafood. We'll be coming back next time we're in the area! Highly recommend!

We ordered take out from here twice. The poke bowls are so fresh and yummy! The quantity is plenty and quality is very high. My favorite bowl to order so far is the One Special Bowl. But, I also highly recommend the build a bowl option too. Some toppings I recommend are furikake and onion crisps. One thing to note though is that Ono Pokebar uses a lot of sauce in their bowls. I tried noting to use less sauce on my bowls but there was still a lot of sauce used!

Burrito, Taro Milk Tea
Anna F.

Who knew I could have so many things I love at the same time? Salmon poke and my favorite sushi fixings, in BURRITO form with a Taro bubble tea on the side! Delivery order came quickly. The bubble tea travels well, given the way that it is sealed.

Shrimp Bowl
Adina S.

I wasn't overly impressed by the poke from this spot. The bowls were pretty small compared to what I've gotten from other places. The toppings were great, but I wish they gave more of the actual protein. The spicy salmon was a bit odd to me - the fish was mushed up, not cut into chunks like salmon poke usually is. It almost felt like the consistency of tuna salad you would put on bread. I would recommend Pokeworks or one of the other poke places that give more/allow for free unlimited toppings.

Poke bowl with Spicy Tuna, Sriracha aioli, tobiko, wasabi, oranges, etc.

I frequently visit Porter Square and this is the first time I finally tried Ono. I visited during lunchtime, so there was no line. There's so many toppings and sauces to choose from- I decided to build my own bowl consisting of sushi rice, spicy tuna, and sriracha aioli followed by many toppings. Hands down the best poke bowl I've ever had. Everything tasted so fresh and I'm typically very picky about eating raw fish. Also the service was wonderful and the place was clean! So excited to go back and try some of their signature bowls and maybe get a bubble tea as well!

Pretty good bowls here! They have an assortment of premade poke bowls that you have made to order and they have a build your own bowl option where you can customize every part of the bowl. Additionally, they have braised beef bowls that you can select multiple slices of meat from a list. We got the Ahi Tuna bowl and the portion was plenty and reasonably priced compared to other poke places in the area. The ingredients were fresh too! For the braised beef bowl, I got the soy braised eggs, tripe, and the standard slices of beef. It was a bit salty but everything was super tender and flavorful. Note that this place has limited seating so your best bet is to take to go!

I admittedly have high standards, but this is my go-to spot for a comforting bowl of beef noodle…read moresoup + the best spiced chicken nuggets one could ask for! A few staples are the golden chicken nuggets (top with chili crisps for maximal flavor bomb), wood ear mushrooms (delightful texture and chilled flavor), and braised beef noodle soup. Come on a weekday lunch for a $20 steal! Evenings (even on weekdays) have a wait, but scan the QR code to get on the waitlist and stroll Cambridge in the meantime. Ambiance is a little rushed with tight spacing between tables, but it's prompt service and a clean place, with soft music to maximize conversation

Really great noodle option that opened in Central Square probably a few years back and then…read morerecently opened another location in the Seaport neighborhood! Excited to see all their success and expansion over the past couple of years. It's tight inside and I'd recommend getting there earlier than expected. Kind and quick service. I thought my first visit was just fine. The spicy oil seaweed salad appetizer was nice and refreshing which a bit of a bite from the seaweed pieces, which I liked. A friend and I also split their big plate chicken and hand pulled beef noodles - I thought both were just fine and I found the broth to be quite light and clean when I am used to deeper and richer flavors in this type of Chinese cuisine, so I wasn't overly impressed initially. I've gone back a couple of times and I think I found the dishes that really sold me. I absolutely love their chili oil beef rib noodles - it is one of their signature dishes for a reason. I think their chili oil has excellent flavor, the noodles have a great biang biang/qq texture, and the beef rib was so tender. Both of their mushroom appetizers - the fried ones and the woodear mushroom salad - are also spectacular. For some reason I am just not a fan of their noodle soups like their Lanzhou beef noodle soup, and much prefer their saucey noodles.

Four words: spicy cold niku udon. The signature is also good!…read more I've been a fan of Yume ever since I found out about it when I went to Tufts for college. It was the Asian-American community's go-to spot for dine-in, take-out, or both! This was back when they had their location in the Lesley University food court too - people would be lining up for 30+ minutes to get a coveted seat at one of their humble seats. I look fondly on when they would yell "perfect" whenever I finished my bowl, praising how I slurped every freshly cut udon noodle and devoured every ounce of broth or crispy tempura bit they put in there. The new location is just a few stores down, still in/out of the Lesley University mall area. It has a nice ambiance and feels less cramped. While I miss the "perfect" yelling, the flavor still tastes just as good even if it's gotten an insane amount of hype since then. Would highly recommend ordering takeout if you're in a rush - they do it very efficiently, both at the original Cambridge location and the new Seaport location too. I'm so happy for all of their success!

Note that it was a little spicy because they put shichimi on top, so if you don't want that be sure to tell them. It gave added flavor. Service: we went extremely early (before 5pm) so there was no wait and service was efficient and water glasses filled without request. Ambiance: quite a few tables and several bar tables. Came here because my daughter loves this place but I thought it was just ok.

I've also had their breakfast gnocchi before which was rich and maybe a bit too salty for my liking, but overall good. I also enjoy their acai, it is some of the best I've had in the Boston area. Chill ambiance that can get very busy and loud on the weekends. There is a good amount of seating and they do have wifi.

Since I already knew my kid and I were going to be out gallivanting thru Cambridge and pretty much…read moreeverywhere else during my long weekend with her, we figured we'd grab a quick breakfast before hitting these streets. And after peeping Bõm Dough's menu online, we were game. I mean...what's not to love about dough?! Bõm Dough is Brazilian-owned, but I wouldn't say the menu is screaming Brazilian all the way through. Sure, they have a pão de queijo sandwich- but they also have some matcha options and other things. Anywhoooo. my kid ordered "The Daily Egg" on a brioche bun and I went with "The Good Egg" on pão de queijo sans bacon. Both sandwiches were tasty! But as much as I love cheese, our sandwiches had a lot of it and took away from the egg. But here's where things went real left. My kid ordered a cappuccino and I went with the iced strawberry matcha. Because hellloooo- I love strawberries, I love matcha and putting those two together sounded like a match made in heaven! In my head, I was expecting this gorgeous, artsy masterpiece in a cup. You know...those pretty layers of matcha swirling into beautiful strawberry goodness. Something that looks like somebody actually took their time making it or something so pretty you just have to pull out your phone for a picture from every angle. No. No. No. What the guy handed me looked like a blotchy mess. And to make matters worse, the thing didn't even taste like strawberries!!! I wasn't feeling it. I kindly told the guy making the drinks that my strawberry matcha didn't taste like strawberries and that I wanted to order a London Fog instead. All he said was, "wait for the manager". I simply wanted a drink that actually tasted like what I ordered! The manager was cool when I told him about it and had no problem exchanging my drink. But the guy making the drinks???? He just had a stank attitude and I gave it right back. What really had me looking sideways was that after I sat down to wait for my drink, the manager and the guy were going back and forth about the situation. Then somebody else decided to jump into the conversation and actually looked over at me. Ok...so now you all are talking about me?! Like, what in the damn breakfast sandwich conspiracy is going on here?! All I did was simply expressed that I wanted another drink because I wasn't happy with what I got. That's it. That's the whole damn story! And honestly, if you're gonna put an iced strawberry matcha on your menu WITH a picture on your website, at least make it look somewhat appetizing and taste like what you're advertising when you ORDER it. At the end of the day, the food was good, the manager was decent, but the customer service from the guy making drinks? Trash. Because how you gonna tell me that YOU got hot and bothered when I ask for another drink when YOU didn't deliver??? And that's what makes this so annoying. You can have some delicious food, but one employee with a nasty attitude like that guy can leave a negative impression real fast. Bõm Dough, your sandwiches might be serving, but that attitude behind the drink counter? Honey, that ain't it. Because good food will bring people through the door, but good customer service is what makes them wanna come back.
