Today I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment. It had been recommended to me by so many…read moreand I was in the area so I thought I'd check it out. As soon as you walk in, you are in the battle of the drums between the Kumasi and the Djembe. So loud I couldn't think . I did ask to turn it down a few times, in the middle of my meal the Chef said I could eat outside. On that note I ordered way too much. The fried chicken was delicious !! Not greasy at all. But huge, sorry today I ordered two thighs that were the size of one large breast. A little condiment of shaved coconut and chive was on the side. Any sides were à la carte. I did try the " Cabbage Salad" that had a nice flavor, but was overdressed and is mostly iceberg lettuce, and rice with surprisingly sticky rice , so it was kind of yummy. The chicken came with one sauce I got the curry. It was divine.. & my friend got the chicken bites and some kind of mayo. I was going to leave a five star review because the food was that good however, on the receipt they charged $.92 for the containers and eating utensils. I'm disheartened because if they offered an alternative like a plate and regular silverware, I could see not adding it into their cost. If I refuse to pay for the containers, how would I eat it on that note the chef was nice enough to me to have me try a couple of items that I didn't have to pay for. Which I greatly appreciated and that is why I'm leaving such a nice review. I do recommend eating here, but take it home. Or call for delivery, they have their own AP. PS great smoothie's !!!

My partner and I shared the mochiko chix plate, soy-garlic chicken plate, and king pig sandwich -…read more TASTE: 4/5 - enjoyed the soy-garlic chicken, fire side of cole slaw, and the sandwich's tasty kalua-style pork. Thought the mac salad could use more seasoning. Would come back to try more though TEXTURE: 5/5 - crispy, perfectly fried chicken and loved the mochiko plate's gochujang mayo sauce. Sandwich was messy and indulgent! PRICE: 5/5 - $16 plates, couldn't believe it. Great value SERVING SIZE: 5/5 - everything was loaded up, we were truly in awe of these portions lol SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 7:30pm on a Friday to a super energetic staff. We were the only ones dining in, but there were a crazy amount of takeout orders ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - a fun space w colorful murals, Pokemon playing on screen, and Spanish music absolutely blasting! PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street spot right on Walnut St

Street parking was a little difficult in the area, but the food was so worth it! I ordered a poke plate, which came with two proteins of choice, plus macaroni and cucumber salad. While everything was good, the fish was definitely the stand out! I've never had poke where the fish pieces were so large. The fish was soooo fresh, melted in your mouth, and had great flavor. The inside is small and intimate with a few seating options. Service was fast, my food was ready within 5 minutes. So good!!! Definitely a need to try if you're in the area!

I've been wanting to try Manoa Poke Shop for YEARS but never got around to it until recently…read more They're open 4 days out of the week (Weds-Sat) & are only open for a few hours, so it's hard to find a day to go in to try. Luckily, I was able to go on the weekend after 5pm. Hours-- Weds: 5pm-8:30pm Thurs: 4:30pm-8:30pm Fri+Sat: 3pm-8:30pm So, I totally didn't expect there to be such a longgg line to order @5:30pm on a Saturday! We were all packed in there like sardines. By the time I got to the front of the line & was able to order, they ran out of most things. Originally, I wanted to get the spicy salmon + ahi tuna, however, they had ran out of both. I ended up getting a mix plate with spicy tuna + ahi oka. I wanted to try the Manoa chip dip but that was also out by the time I got to order haha. I liked the spicy tuna but wasn't the biggest fan of the ahi oka, which is raw tuna with coconut cream, lime juice, onion, scallions, ginger, + chilis. I found the rice, kimchi cucumbers, + Mac and cheese to be just all right... wasn't very impressed by the plate overall. I still felt hungry afterwards and ended up going to grab dinner. Mind you, it doesn't take much food to make me feel full & for $21, this wasn't the most satisfying meal in terms of taste + portion size. Fish tasted fresh though at least but I don't think I'll be back. Seating: there's only like 3 tables; two for parties of 4ish and one smaller table for 2.

We had about a 20-30 min wait for a table and explored the area and shops on the block while we waited. When we got seated we cruised the menu and ordered the following: APPETIZERS - chicken karaage - our order came with crispy chicken however lacked seasoning and was a bit over cooked and dry. - okonomiyaki-styled tater tots - the BEST appetizer we ordered, needed a pinch of salt, but flavor wise with the bonito flakes and sauce it was a hit! - green papaya salad this needed more seasoning, mortared herbs and chilis maybe tomatoes and garlic. Pass next time. RAMEN - miso ramen for the kiddo and she enjoyed it. She can't eat spicy so this was a very mild ramen. Didn't think the miso flavor came thru but she enjoyed it. - spicy miso ramen the lady got this one and i tried a some, the broth was lacking a bit of depth today. It's not spicy so normally I'd say even the non-spicy crowd probably would be able to handle it. The broth just tasted more watery was looking for the punch of flavor. Now the noodles were chewy and had great bounce to them, the char siu pork cuts were tender and melt in your mouth! - chef's ultra ramen - this broth definitely was the better broth out of all the ramens in my opinion with plenty of proteins and more depth of flavor, umami, smokiness, smelled great too. - spicy tan tan the brother got this one, it's typically what i would normally go for, he enjoyed it, not too spicy either, could use some more crunchy garlic with the chili oil. Overall would come back to give it another go, perhaps the heavy dinner rush some things got lost in the cooking on certain dishes.

My boyfriend and I were in the area and I suggested we get lunch take out from here because I'm…read morestill on my quest to try every poke place in the Boston and Greater Boston areas and we aren't in Brookline very frequently. The woman who helped us was super friendly and sweet! We ordered online and it wouldn't allow us to pick multiple mix-ins and toppings and she let us make changes while we were there (to pick up) since she didn't have the opportunity to make them yet. She gave us large scoops of basically everything and the quality was great. We also got crab rangoons, which were delicious and yummy! Though it's still not #1 favorite poke place in MA, this place definitely is in top 10. It honestly makes the experience better when the customer service is great and the quality and food is made-to-order. I look forward to coming back here again

The spicy toki & aioli sauce was much better than the house teriyaki sauce. I'd say serving size was decent but taste was only ok.

As we made our way inside the restaurant, Chef Chris took the time to greet us and since we were the first ones there for our time slot, he gave us the option to pick any table we wanted for our omakase experience. He is very personable and took the time to get to know us and talk a bit about his background. The tables were split into separate sections so that you were seated only with your party which I thought was a nice setup, especially for a date night. We decided to do the Grand Slam Omakase with 16 courses with a specially selected sake pairing. Chef Chris took the time to explain each course, with several of the components being made in-house. I was an especially big fan of the Hokkaido scallop course but everything was phenomenal, especially the nigiri. You can tell that every aspect of every course is crafted thoughtfully and with care. If you are looking for an omakase experience, I would definitely recommend reserving a time at Momi Nonmi!
