Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Poke was pretty good! Nothing particularly special, but creamy miso sauce was delicious. Pretty standard poke portion, appears smaller than it is. Service was polite but not super friendly. Ambiance was very cute, reminded me a lot of Honolulu, and very clean overall. Well done for the atmosphere of the cuisine. Bonus points for bathroom being super clean. Parking easy, it's in a larger plaza with a big lot right out front. Loose Lead Boba available inside - boba was good but tea was a little watered down.

Backstory: The first time I visited a pokemoto was in Franklin, MA. Though this store isn't as good…read moreas the Franklin one, it is so much closer for me to visit! My sister and I have gone twice since they opened a few weeks ago. I am the kind of person that likes to eat raw fish over cooked fish and do not like sugar in my tea. Food&Drinks: the BYO poké bowls are my favorite. The fish is fresh enough that it doesn't smell fishy or oceany. The toppings are all delicious and fresh. Although, I wish it were a little bit more chilled when served. The sushi rice is a bit over cooked but still okay. Drinks are great! Haven't had a bad drink yet! My go to is the Iced Matcha and the A-Oolong tea w/ cheese foam. The strawberry matcha latte and drip coffee are also yummy! Service: staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They are slightly slow but that's what happens at every new store opening. Bare with them for the first few months! Atmosphere: very clean, including bathrooms. Cute store decor. Wish the fan wasn't sitting in front of the "wanna poké?" sign...still haven't been able to get an aesthetic photo of that wall! Very inviting! Overall: I treat places that sell raw fish very seriously, knowing how bad food poisoning can be. I really like pokemoto and looseleaf tea's concept. I also believe that if you haven't had raw fish or real tea before, this would be the place to start!

This was alright. It's an area without a lot of different food options so it's a welcome addition…read more The drinks were lovely. We also ordered meals (2 banh mi, a bun/vermicelli bowl, and fresh rolls). One of us loved the banh mi and the other thought it was kind of boring. Good bread though. The bun was adequate but could have used more flavor in the nuoc cham. The fresh rolls were good but the dipping sauce was just not to my taste at all (it might have been straight up peanut butter??). We probably will not go back but for the area, it's really not bad and I hope they do well. Service was attentive, the space was clean. Prices were fair.

A lot has changed at Takara since I last reviewed…read more They no longer have outdoor seating, but they expanded the building! and now there are these cute half circle seats you can watch the bar TV's from. The design of the restaurant is just really nice. I feel a little "fancy" eating there. The last couple of times we have gone we have gotten a chicken lettuce wrap special and it's super delicious - we last had it months ago and were excited when it was still on the menu last week. And hot sake, which is relaxing even in the summer. We've also enjoyed Teriyaki dinners and sushi here, some memorable lychee martinis. Takara is a solid date night in the "downtown" area of Canton.

The food was amazing, the service was friendly and welcoming, and the sushi was incredibly fresh. The noodles were outstanding--perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Takara completely turned our night around, and we'll definitely be back.

I'm literally shocked at the reviews. We tried this place last night because the reviews said the…read moredumplings were the best in Norwood. The reviews lied. We spent $118 and the food was awful. The steak stir fry was barely cooked. The veggies were raw. The chicken teriyaki tasted like it had been microwaved. The chicken "finger basket" was inedible. It was a chicken cutlet deep fried in old oil that they then cut into dried up sticks. Gross. My husband loves vegetable tempura and it tasted like each veggie was caked in pancake batter. I would love to review the scallion pancakes, but they were not in the to-go bag. Yes my husband asked, "is everything in here" but he should have checked when he picked up our food. Never again. Waste of money!!!

Wife and I were looking to try a new sushi place and we found Shino…read more After looking at the menu, which is really exciting BTW we decided on a few apps and some rolls. We started with the grilled edamame, and the pork belly buns. Both were great, 1st time with grilled edamame. I would have like a little heat for the Pork belly but really good. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the Toro- Pena. Both were good, but the Toro was fantastic! My wife ordered the steak & potato roll, think sweet potato roll with steak on top. She loved it! Service was quick and pleasant and the inside was nice. It wasn't very busy as we like to eat early. I will say the only thing we didnt like was the menus had a lot of stains on them and dirty. We will definitely be back again!

An optical illusion, and a good one at that!…read more Located in a pretty ugly strip mall in Easton, and next to a Trump store, Shino is very unassuming until you walk in. It reminds me of Sushi Bars in lower Manhattan; to the nines! Big, airy, clean, and a wonderful staff. Sashimi... my favorite. You've got to try their Sea Bass. One of my new favorite things. A white fish, delicious and very seldom found in other Sushi Bars. Prices are outstandingly inexpensive too. Parking can be a bear, because of the Mexican restaurant adjacent to Shino.

Sakura Japan opened recently in the former Era Teriyaki, under new ownership. This low key old…read moreschool takeout restaurant serves up Chinese, Japanese, and Asian food plus sushi. They offer lunch and dinner specials/combos at reasonable prices. The place is order at the counter with open kitchen and there is hard booths for eating inside. I stopped by Sakura Japan in Brockton for lunch takeout recently. I decided to go with the B6 Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box ($16.99 plus tax-Lunch) which includes choice of rice, soup, appetizer, sushi roll, and salad, sauces provided. I was also given a complementary iced sweet lemonade too. My food was all set in about 10 minutes. The portion size for the bento box lunch was very good, compared to other Asian places near my home, which tend to skimp on bento box portions. The grilled salmon was very tender over the fresh cooked vegetable fried rice. The hot & sour soup (pint) was very hot and had good mild spicy flavors. The fried dumplings were crispy outside. The California Roll with wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce was very good, as the Seaweed Salad was a good side for the sushi. I enjoyed half of my lunch in the restaurant and enjoyed the rest when I got home.

The server and the menu were familiar with vegetarian and gluten-free options (and perhaps more that I don't remember). Pleasant atmosphere. Handicap accessible. Delicious food. Excellent service.

I've had a lot of tom yum and unfortunately this was my least favorite. Pad Thai 2/5- very sweet as well which I personally did not like. Crispy chicken was good. They use very thin rice noodles. Crab Rangoon 3/5- heavily filled, good sauce, decent. Crazy Udon 2/5- very oily, but good flavor. We got chicken which was okay, a bit too dry for my preference. Overall, unfortunately I wouldn't come back for anything I've already ordered.
