The boba is pretty good too. I miss when I was right next door and getting it every week. They have tablets to order on or you can give your order to a cashier -- service is quick and pleasant. They have tables to dine in and free fruit flavored water to drink. It gives local boba shop w fluorescent lighting type vibes. It's popular with the local college kids despite having a competing chain nearby. (I do like pokeworks but I would kill for a Waikiki near me). My only complaint is they have no rewards program (like Pokeworks does). I guess they know the food is good enough to not need it ‍

Solid poke spot - is it the best and freshest, no, but I've never had a bad meal here…read more All fruit teas are made with real fruit. Sometimes the fruit isn't the ripest but it's definitely fresh fruit and nothing artificial. Lots of protein options including cooked meats for those who don't want raw fish.

My husband and I came to Momi Nonmi for an anniversary dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our…read moreexperience! 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!

We were given a table way in the back, near the kitchen and bathroom. Since the kitchen door was open, leading to the outside, a strong stench of Chinatown dumpster permeated the back area, which did not lead to a good dining experience. The tropical lemonade had good flavor but was too sweet. I like the flavor profiles of watermelon, lychee, and peach, but it was just too much sugar. The garlic wings were pretty savory and flavorful, but were pretty tiny. At least I know they certainly not from hormone chickens. The Takes 2 to Mango was probably the best part of the experience but it wasn't perfect. While there is some strong mango flavor, there are more peach chunks than mango. However, it was pretty good overall. Service was okay and the restaurant mostly consisted of kids with scorpion bowl-looking...bowls.

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. You can have rice or fries as a base, and I think the bites go better with rice with all the flavors. Also added crispy corn but unfortunately it was extremely dehydrated and hard.

I usually order the make your own bowl, which I order two scoops of salmon, brown rice, all the toppings except for fruit, spicy, mayo, sweet shouyu, and all the other toppings that I want. I came here last week on April 21 for dinner and I definitely noticed that the bowls have gotten wayyy smaller. Also, their salmon quality was kind of disgusting. It wasn't juicy or fresh. It was actually dry and I think it's old. They cut it into small pieces and the outside of the salmon when I had it was almost grainy and tacky. It was actually disgusting and I would not come back here again. I had such a horrible experience. I also ordered their garlic spam musubi and the spam looked so gray that it has been sitting out for the whole entire day. The quality of food I got was actually really disgusting and I would give it a zero out of 10 if I could. I really wish that management would take better care of the quality of their food, service, and employees. Something is wrong with this establishment and it shows. Every single time that I've gone to pokeworks, the workers look like they don't wanna be there. I never get any smiles and they always look at me with a straight face and I feel like I'm unwelcomed there. To be honest, I think the workers look like they hate their jobs, which makes me not want to come back. I will take my business to Waikiki Poke in the same plaza because at least their poke fish quality and service is better.

Myers+Chang is a modern Asian-inspired restaurant that blends flavors from across East and…read moreSoutheast Asia into a menu built around small, shareable plates. We walked into a space with an energetic atmosphere, an open kitchen, a lively dining room, and a contemporary design that makes the restaurant feel both casual and polished. The layout encourages ordering several dishes for the table, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to build a meal that feels different with each visit. The small plates are the biggest draw because they let you try a wide range of flavors without committing to a single entrée. The pork belly buns are one of the signature dishes, featuring tender pork inside soft steamed buns with a balance of sweet and savory flavors. The dan dan noodles are another standout with their rich, spicy sauce, while the Brussels sprouts have developed a strong following thanks to their crispy texture and bold seasoning. We also appreciated that many dishes are available as half portions, making it easier to sample more of the menu without ordering too much food. The menu offers a good balance between familiar favorites and more creative dishes, with each plate feeling thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, making it easy for groups with different dietary preferences to find something they enjoy. The service matched the pace of the restaurant during our visit. The staff were attentive, dishes came out steadily as they were ready, and the servers were helpful with recommendations for building a meal around multiple small plates. The restaurant stays busy throughout the evening, so making a reservation is a good idea, especially for dinner or larger groups. Myers+Chang is one of the better places in Boston for creative Asian-inspired small plates. The combination of bold flavors, shareable portions, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong service makes it a restaurant that is easy to return to, especially if you enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of ordering a traditional entrée.

I mean, I've heard of rhdjdjd before, but my dislike for American corndog from a young age has kept me completely oblivious to an other version. Just a very select few times in my life, I have eaten something so good, it's made me question everything around me. Korean corndog?!? How could I have lived this long and overlook something so good? It is nothing like the corndogs we are used to in America. The panko is everything. The crunchy texture paired with the oooooeeeyyy gooooeyy cheese makes this what I can only describe as a eutrophic experience. Yes the corndog is phenomenal, but the crispy chicken sliders alone would have been worth the trip. The crunchy, light and airy breading is perfection. Paired with house made pickles, spicy mayo and a pillowy soft bun, and a honey teriyaki pineapple glaze crispy chicken. I did not come here for any sort of chicken item, but unexpectedly, this is easily a top 3 chicken sandwich/slider I've ever had. This little restaurant is dangerous. The menu is simply irresistible. Kimchi papi may be small in footprint, but it packs a huge punch to the tastebuds.
