    Spicy Tuna Snack Wrap
    Lizzie Y.

    Kokoda in Seaport is a great place to for poke! Their fish is always fresh and bowls are super delicious. Sometimes I get one of their signature bowls and other times, I enjoy building my own. Last time I had Kokoda, I ordered delivery from Ubereats & I got two spicy tuna snack wraps + the Seaport special. I actually really enjoyed the spicy tuna snack wraps, especially with their spicy mayo dipping sauce. I liked the Seaport special, as well, but wished that they didn't use guacamole ("avocado mash"). I would've enjoyed it more if it was just avocado pieces/slices. There's already a bunch of flavors going on from the sauce drizzles & I think that they don't need to complicate the avocado any further... simpler would be better ;) Don't get me wrong, I do love guacamole, just not in my poke bowl. Aside from that, Kokoda is good place to go for poke!

    Food: DELICIOUS, super fresh, and HUGE poke bowls! Everything was super high quality and made to perfection. Definitely, this is some of the best poke that I've had! Service: Food was really fast (I mean it is poke, haha), I also recommend the Jasmine green tea (unsweetened hehe). Ambiance: Store is cute, quiet, small (but has 2 floors of seating), but lots of natural light. It was nice and quiet on a Saturday at 3pm for a late lunch with friends. So glad I was able to check out this place on a Saturday, such a yummy poke spot!

    The poké bowl here may be slightly cheaper than elsewhere at $15 (before tax and tip), but it isn't worth it. The scoops of protein are small and they are so light on the sauce that the rest of the bowl is pretty bland. The flavors in general are whitewashed and not really Hawaiian. There are so many other food options in the neighborhood that you'd be better off going somewhere else.

    Came here on a Friday evening for dinner and we were the only ones in the space to start, but as our meal continued, more and more folks filed in. The upstairs seating area they had seemed decently full by the time we left so I'd say it felt lively towards the end of our dinner! This is a meal where you order at the front and pick it up when it's ready. The person at the cashier was kind and friendly with answering our questions about the menu and then our food came out relatively quickly after so it was pretty fast service wise. They have a diverse menu and I enjoyed the types of bowls we could choose from. I will say that I'm a salmon lover personally so it was a little disappointing to see that salmon was only in one of their house bowls, but that's just personal preference. The food had a great presentation when it did come out. Each bowl felt super dense as well and portion wise, it really was quite decent. Given how pricy this bowl was, I'm glad it lived up to the cost. I've gone to their Love Art Sushi location and often feel underwhelmed by the fish portion there - Kokoda definitely felt more satisfying to eat as there was plenty of fish/protein in both bowls. The drinks weren't as exciting as they didn't have the boba jelly they have at LAS, but they were pretty refreshing. You can kind of taste the powder in the matcha one, but I think I preferred that one since the mangoade was pretty sweet. I'll say that if you're looking for poké in the Seaport area, this spot is definitely not too bad. I'm unsure if I'll come back due to the prices, but the service and food itself tasted pretty good. Thanks for a delicious meal, Kokoda!

    New poke place in Seaport! There is a second floor here and the restaurant has a tropical/beach house vibe. It was not too busy when I came here on a Friday night. The upstairs has some dining tables and the downstairs has a couple of bar seat areas. The service here is also very fast and the workers are very friendly. I got the Crawfish Party Bowl - WOW!! There's a lot of flavor in this and the crawfish tasted awesome. I think the peppers add a nice spice kick to this and compliments the crawfish well. The drinks here are also pretty good. My friend got a matcha tea and thought it was a good amount of matcha and wasn't too milky. I also got a passionfruit tea and it was flavorful as well, it did not have the perfume-y taste that most fruit teas have.

    The design of this cute little poké place immediately caught my eye, the food turned out to be just as good! I created my own custom bowl with 1 protein (and a bunch of other toppings), and the staff brought it out to me within just a couple minutes. The quality of the ingredients was definitely there for me, however, I wish I received more protein for the price. I got a pretty standard bowl for around $14, and I've definitely received more at other places in the past for that price. Regardless, it was still very tasty and left me satisfied!

    Lomi Lomi wrap and Spicy Tuna wrap
    Suha L.

    If you ever find yourself in Boston's Seaport and craving sushi, check this place out! With an adorable two-floor interior, this unassuming poke place has a wide range of premade bowls, make-your-own bowls, snack wraps, and more! We ordered the Seaport Special bowl, Hawaiian Shoyu bowl, the Lomi Lomi and Spicy Tuna snack wraps, and two drinks! The Seaport bowl came with salmon, tuna, avocado mash, corn, edamame, tomatoes and some sauces on top of rice and some greens. The quality of the fish was great but I didn't entirely love the combination of ingredients. I think it could've done without the tomatoes but overall good flavor! The Hawaiian Shoyu comes with tuna, onions, cucumber, and scallion on top of rice and greens as well. This was a little bland because there wasn't any sauce but tuna was still very fresh! The Spicy Tuna snack wrap was pretty standard but I was pleasantly surprised by the Lomi Lomi wrap! It came with chopped salmon, tomato, and onions. It almost tasted like a lox bagel wrap. We got both the Passionfruit Mangoade and Dragonfruit Lime Refreshers and they were delicious. My favorite was the Passionfruit Mangoade! Overall, I would definitely go again for a quick, fresh meal.

    Kokoda does a great job of integrating authentic poke into their menu that you would find in a local grocery store in Hawaii, which is where I was born and raised. They use the same "build your own bowl" style that is really common in the mainland, but the fish is cut into large cubes (more authentic) and tossed with more traditional sauce options (soy sauce, creamy spicy, etc) before the toppings. You can also get more traditional Hawaiian toppings like furikake, masago, and sweet onion. They also have a "by the pound" menu, which is personally what I'd go back for. It's the best value and the best option if you're going there for the quality of the fish, which was buttery and had a melt in your mouth texture. The only con is that it's Seaport pricing, but that can't be helped.

    Stopped by Kokoda to get some dinner to-go. I am a big fan of the Love Art group's other stores, so had high hopes for this new concept. And those high hopes were met -- the ingredients was fresh / delicious and the bowls were filling (pretty good value, though $16 for a bowl is still steep). Highlights for me were the addictive Pina Colada Fresca drink and the subtle but fragrant coconut flavor in the ceviche / rice of the Fijian Kokoda bowl. Food 1. Fijian Kokoda (5/5) 2. Seaport Special (4.5/5) Drink 1. Pina Colada Fresca (5/5)

    I was so excited to try this new and fun take on Hawaiian poke! I ordered a classic Shoyu Ahi and a new Fijian Ahi bowl which came out to $37. They were both delicious, made with fresh, red, huge cubes of ahi that made me feel like I was in Hawaii. The Fijian was a bit more sweet than I prefer but I enjoyed the coconut milk twist. The Shoyu Ahi was savory and perfect for the hot summer day in Boston. If I had to change one thing, for $37, I'd like to have more pieces of fish in maybe smaller pieces to feel more full after. There we about 10-12 pieces of fish in the bowl. Overall, I would love to return to Kokoda and build my own bowl or try new flavors!

    Really good poke! Super fresh fish and HUGE portions. I got the seaport special bowl, which was ~$16. It was expensive, but they did give a lot of fish and avocado. My friend got a hawaiian shoyu classic bowl, which had a lot less ingredients in it, and tasted good but was too salty. The seaport bowl was def better.

    They give almost no toppings- I ordered 4 vegetable in my bowl and got almost exclusively rice. Very disappointing.

    Extremely fresh fish with generous portions in a casual, underground space…read more I think this is a reasonably priced establishment for the level of fish (phenomenal) and service (reasonable and attentive, but not like a fancier sit down restaurant) that you get. I am always surprised at how full I am when I leave! I'm stuffed every time. There is complementary miso soup with all of the bowls I've tried, outlined below. I really loved all of the bowls I've tried but my favorites are probably the Sake Aisuru Don and Kuromon Don. I just prefer more salmon to more tuna though, and they're all very good! Food: - Sake Aisuru Don: their classic all-salmon bowl! I loved the larger cuts of salmon, and I was pleasantly surprised that even the more pulverized salmon was flavorful! - Kuromon Don: loved the yellowtail in this! Each fish comes with two pieces (except the mackerel for which there are four), and I liked the sampler style for the salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and izumidai. - Maguro Toro Don: so much tuna! And all such high quality. The otoro was so fatty that it practically melted in my mouth without chewing. - Sake Maguro Hamachi Don: a mix of salmon, blue fin tuna, and yellowtail. I liked the yellowtail in this a lot and found that it stood out the most from the other two fish in this particular bowl!

It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

I was feeling a poke bowl after looking at all the options they had, so I walked back to Pokeworks.

I asked about gluten free options because while the menu marks allergens like shellfish, gluten, vegan, and dairy, it only had labels in some areas like sauces. The staff was really helpful and said it would be easier to walk me through a build your own bowl, which was considerate and made things clearer. It's nice that you can choose two proteins here if you want, and the food was fresh and tasted really good. The bowl was very filling but still felt healthy, and I appreciated that calories were labeled too.

The bowl had a good amount of salmon which was great as it was a large portion. The flavor was ponzu sauce which was quite liberally added making the bowl saltier than I'd like.
