Such a cute little poke shop in the north end that I was so excited to try! We were looking for some last minute food near the climbing gym and this place was conveniently right next door! We tried a couple different bowls of theirs and all were delicious. I loved the variety of ingredients they had for customization, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say the quality of the food was the best I've ever had, but it was perfect enough for a quick and fulfilling dinner. The shop is small with only two chairs, so getting takeout is probably the best option. They even gave us a free cup of their lychee drink to try, which I thought was delicious! If you're looking for fast and yummy food near TD, this is the place! read more

Decent poke bowl. I'm always iffy on delivery poke but this turned out ok. The portion size of the fish was smaller than what I was expecting but the bowl was pretty packed with everything else that came with it. I did enjoy the sweet and spicy mayo sauce that came with the rainbow falls bowl. Would definitely try them again. read more

This is one of my all time favorite casual spots to order food in Boston. As someone with celiac disease, I can't even begin to express the relief I have when I'm able to order anything off the menu without having to worry about risks of cross-contamination, since everything is gluten-free! I love how customizable their items are, and even though their set bowls always sound great, I love to build my own and my go-to order always includes a side of their macaroni salad! Prices are reasonable imo and the quality of their fish is pretty impressive, given that this is a casual takeout spot! The workers are always patient and helpful, even though I know I can be a bit slow when deciding exactly what to add to my bowl. Overall, the place is a bit small and there are only 4 chairs at the countertop, so would recommend getting your food to takeout especially during the busier times of the day! read more

The poke here is phenomenal, might be the best you can find in downtown Boston. Also, the staff is very friendly and always willing to fill out a complex order for you. Highly recommend read more

My first poke. It was good and filling. Poke consists of raw seafood, sliced into bite-sized pieces and served over rice or greens with flavorful sauces or dressings. I kinda knew about this but this is the definition. Neither of us went for the raw seafood today had cooked shrimp in one and tofu in another. About $33.00 paid for two poke bowls and a citron juice drink. They were flavorful and filling. Since my 1st, I chose the tofu bowl which had preselected sauce and ingredients as well as sides to chose from. Having some yellow corn in the bowl adds extra texture. . I opted for brown rice instead of greens. . Place looked very clean and bright. I liked the photos of the employees on the wall. The person who made the poke was friendly and knowledgeable. They make it there in front of you. I like the recyclable card board bowls. A tiny shop with just a enough counter space to accommodate a few people to eat in the shop. Mostly takeouts. I would get the tofu again, marinated long strips, a very different texture than I am use too for tofu, delicious flavor. Reportedly the shrimp was very good. read more

POKE by Love Art - Tofu poke bowl, tofu is on left. I selected seaweed salad was one of my sides, right, veg and brown rice. - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

If I were to compare this place to some of the top sushi places I go to, I'd probably rate it closer to a 2, but those places are in California, so by Boston standards a 3 will suffice. I dont mind the way their fish is served (more on the mushy side) and the topping options were decent. But, my bowl did have a fishy taste and I didn't know if it was coming from the fish or the seaweed salad. Do yourself a favor and skip the pasta salad too, the pasta is uncooked and the sauce is very unflavorful. I can't tell you much about the ambiance or service because I ordered in. read more

I ordered through Grubhub and since it's poke I figured it would be fast. But it ended up taking over an hour! Also I ordered an ube boba tea which should be purple but it ended up looking green. Pretty sure it's not the right drink. read more

Such a fantastic, healthy option in a sea of fast food restaurants by the Garden. It was a nice quick meal for us 2 before heading to the concert at the Garden. We ordered the North Shore shrimp wrap, Fire Luau bowl, and had our own drinks. So happy they had Lilikoi Fresca and only $3! The server was very pleasant, helpful and nice to us first-timers. There's only standing room at the counter to eat, no sit down. I think the prices are quite reasonable considering the area and what you get. If I wasn't going to the concert, I would have brought the chopsticks home. Will be back! read more

Haven't had poke in awhile, and the Bev bowl was absolutely perfect! Salmon and tuna were both fresh, and the rice was great paired with the corn and other veggies. Also grabbed a brown sugar boba, which was also delicious. No complaints, although there isn't much seating, so you may have to take it to go if it's busy or you have a larger party. read more

I tried this spot for the first time after being a Love Art Sushi customer for a while and I was surprised and confused by how similar the menu options are. POKE by Love Art is less "customizable" than other poke spots since you have designated sides to choose from rather than an endless selection of toppings. The dressings also differ a little bit from the generic offerings at poke spots. I decided to build my own bowl with 1 side and 2 proteins ($14.25). I tried their sesame tamari tuna, spicy salmon, and cucumber kimchi. The fish was nicely seasoned and very fresh, as well as the other toppings and mix-ins that I got. For sauces I got their spicy chili crisp and passion miso vinaigrette, both of which I highly recommend! The spicy chili crisp is super fragrant and not too spicy at all. The passion miso vinaigrette is on the sweeter side but has a lot of tartness to it from the passionfruit. It added a sweet-and-sour layer of flavor to my otherwise savory and spicy poke bowl. The prices ($11.75-15.75) are pretty reasonable for the price of food these days. This is an excellent spot to get poke in the North Station area! read more

Was having a major Poke craving last night and chose this spot for delivery on Grubhub because of the great Yelp reviews - I definitely wasn't disappointed. I had the hardest time picking one of their curated house bowls, there are a bunch of unique and creative options, but I eventually decided on the Fire Luau bowl. It traveled well for delivery, was a generous portion and most importantly was sooo tasty. Major points in my book for including spicy mayo and spicy chili crisp on the side. I will say that the menu has a little red pepper emoji next to this bowl but I didn't think it was all that spicy (my tolerance is pretty high though). I also ordered an extra side of the Hawaiian Mac salad, which I could definitely do without next time around. It was fine but a little bland and definitely way too small for the $6.50 price point (yikes). All in all, solid poke spot with a nice variety of curated bowls and build-your-own options. I'll definitely be ordering from here again to try some of the other proteins, sides and sauces. read more

POKE by Love Art - Fire Luau Bowl with a side of Hawaiian Macaroni Salad - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My friend and I ordered poke bowls for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ordered online and picked it up 15-20min later. I ordered The Bev and my friend ordered the Fire Luau. The Bev was delicious! I loved the creaminess of the avocados, the crunchiness of the spring greens and corn, and the unagi sauce. The salmon and tuna tasted very fresh. I literally used a spoon to scrape every last grain of rice off the bowl - it was that good! My friend really enjoyed his Fire Luau. He said that the crunchy flakes from the sauce went really well with the spicy salmon. Every bite was packed with flavor. We both absolutely devoured our bowls. Overall, I had a great experience. I'll be back for another poke bowl! read more

This is the worst poke I have EVER had in my life, and I have had a bunch. Ordered this thru UberEats last night and I wish I just went ahead and ordered from Poke City. The fish was mushy and may as well have been referred to as paste. The rice was NOT done. I mean crunchy. No, not al dente, CRONCHY. Hard. Pellets. Gross. Raw. I will NEVER even bother to waste my money on this place again. read more

POKE by Love Art - Tastes worse than it looks - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is the third week of a Ramadan and during this time of year all that I think about is food. I have always loved the aesthetic of Love Art brand and have been craving poke, so I decided to give it a try. I wanted to treat my best friend who is a pharmacist and on the frontline during this pandemic too. There was a special on the Ogg boxes, Luau bowls, and a buy one get one free deal on the Red Guava beverages. I purposely ordered to pick-up because I wanted to see their iconic poke sign myself. It's even cuter in person. The two women by the cash register were incredibly friendly and sweet. It was nice to receive a warm welcome from two smiling faces The pokes bowls were delightful and highly recommend the red guava beverage. It's not too sweet and refreshing on a hot day in Boston! Thank you read more

4.5 stars!! POKE by Love Art does one of the most legit / authentic tasting Hawaiian style pokes in Boston! I'm usually used to the unmarinated fish where you add your own sauce and toppings, so I was pleasantly surprised that this place does already seasoned proteins and a variety of Hawaiian inspired sides. I got the build your own B Platter which comes with 2 scoops of base, 2 sides and 1 protein. I got white rice, macaroni salad, potato salad, and tamari tuna. The platter at first didn't seem like much for $13 but it was actually quite a lot and could almost be two meals for me. Maybe next time I'll get the $9 box and maybe add one more side. I believe everything is gluten free (please double check), as my macaroni in the pasta salad had a different texture. Next time I think I'd like to try more of the veggie sides like the seaweed salad or marinated mushrooms. Nonetheless, everything tasted great and fresh. I got a free fountain drink with Yelp check in but they only offer three self serve drinks, all of which were very sweet so stick with water if you don't want anything too sugary. The staff who helped me out was also really nice. I do wish that the food items were all displayed (like a Chipotle) so I could see what everything looked like but everything was covered in containers. I just picked off the menu what sounded good but I would rather picked what looked better! $13 for a meal is also kind of pricey for fast casual but I do think that everything is high quality - everything is also compostable (cups, utensils, containers, straws) so that's probably another reason for the price! No seating whatsoever except for a long counter that is for standing only that fits about 4-5 people. I'll be back to try the other proteins and sides! read more

My boyfriend and I ordered poke through Uber Eats. We both had the Platter C - Build your own. You get 2 bases 2 proteins and I side. I got two portions of white rice, sesame tamari tuna, rainbow salmon and the lychee salsa as a side. You get to pick 3 sauces - they have a bunch of options. I had the garlic ponzu, passion miso vinaigrette and the pineapple aioli. I really enjoyed the first two. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals. The fish tasted fresh and everything else was very tasty. They had a buy one get one free section on the menu. We got two red guava citron drinks for the price of one. The drink was nice and refreshing. I also go the Kinako brown sugar MILK with brown sugar boba. This drink was really good! I really enjoyed this place this place and I look forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more

This is such a convenient place to get poke! It's less than 2min walk from north station. This is more on the "traditional" side of poke where the plate isn't loaded with all sorts of toppings like pokeworks or okipoke. Everything was simple and flavorful! Got the passion fruit drink, and I would pass on it. Definitely too sweet for me but overall tasty. Would recommend this place if you're craving some poke! read more

Food is decent, but inconsistent. First time I had it was great, but second time around the rice was hard (there were some uncooked bits??) and the Mac salad also had some weird hard pieces. My main problem was the service the second time around. The guy gave me about 4-5 pieces of poke per protein. I overall got maybe 1/3 of the protein I got last time, or would usually expect... on top of that, he tried to charge me extra for the sides and protein that is supposed to be included (tried to charge me about $10 extra). The fish here is decent otherwise so it's a shame this ruined my experience. read more

Biked to North End to have lunch with my boyfriend and we were craving some poke. It's a short walk from Mass General and it's tucked away by the Marriott. One could miss it if you don't look closely. The restaurant is cute and small, and therefore no seating, but feels like it's set up as a grab and go type of stop anyways. There's three types of BYO Bowl options: 1) 1 Protein, 1 Side, Base 2) 2 Protein, 1 side, Base 3) 2 Protein, 2 side, Base. We both got the option 2. There are also a selection of house made bowls to choose from. The ingredients are fresh and reasonably priced. You do get to choose 2 sauces from the list and they pack it on the side so they don't mix it in like most places do. They also have a bit fewer toppings to add on than a lot of the places in Southern California but it is a good portion sized meal with yummy toppings. Overall, good experience and good service. Definitely would recommend! Oh and did I mention they give discounts for healthcare workers? Just show your badge and get a discount! So nice that they do that.

My absolute favorite lunch place!! Such great, fresh poke at amazing prices. The service is super fast, and the options are great, there are interesting sides to add that aren't just fish and avocados (eg seaweed salad, edamame, corn, mac and cheese) and it tastes so good every time. If you're not a fan of nice, you can also get it as a salad base. There's online ordering too, so you don't have to stand in line. They also have boba, which makes for a great addition. They're right next to the North End green area, perfect for a picnic! read more

POKE by Love Art - Salmon poke with cucumbers, carrots, seaweed salad, and passion miso vinaigrette - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is my go-to healthy takeout option due to convenience. I usually build my own bowl with half brown rice half salad mix, 1 protein, all the free toppings, and choose the Mac salad as a side (the kimchi cucumber is good too). The chili crisp sauce is actually delicious. Wish their fish servings were more generous. This by no means tastes like authentic Hawaiian poke (would check out Manoa in Cambridge for that), but definitely gets the job done as a more affordable, quick, healthy and tasty takeout option which I never get sick of. read more

I went to eat here with some friends after rock climbing nearby and it made the best late lunch for all of us. While I got a custom bowl (white rice, all of the customs *cucumbers, corn, and sliced carrots, spicy salmon, shrimp, Hawaiian macaroni salad, spicy mayo, creamy garlic, sesame seeds, and nori furakake) some of my friends got pre-made and some got custom orders. I liked the refreshing taste of the poke and veggies, however the bed of rice was pretty sufficient. I ended up not finishing everything because of the amount of rice given and I was a little disappointed that the sauces were given in little cases and not placed on the bowl for us. But I think it was due to sanitary reasons. Also, bought a ube boba tea and the boba was pretty chewy and a bit too sweet, next time I'll get it with less sugar. I would rate that drink a 3/5 as well. This was a nice and small joint to grab a quick bite however for a bowl and drink was not within my budget. OVERALL: 3.5/5 STARS read more

The fish tasted fresh, which to me is the most important aspect of a to-go poke spot. Portion of the protein was a tad small, but I can understand relative to price. My online order wasn't on time, and it wasn't busy inside, so that was a bit unfortunate. Would definitely try again though. read more

This was a great place to get takeout! I've been to Love Art Sushi and it was my usual spot to go after work for Poke and I'm so glad to see they have a new spot near the Garden! I got the Fire Luau and it was everything I ever wanted in a poke bowl, and I got the King Kamehameha Bowl for my partner and it was actually enough to keep him satiated (he's a ravenous eater, so that's saying something). You can see into the kitchen as you wait, and they're following COVID protocols to a T, and it felt very safe to order from them. read more

With its fun storefront located right by TD garden, POKE is a fabulous place to indulge in some delicious poke bowls and an instagram-worthy wall to take pictures in front of. The menu is great, with all sorts of tasty combinations of fresh seafood, veggies and grains. You can also customize your own bowl to your liking. I devoured the magma bowl, it was spicy and crispy - I just wish there was more to it! They also have a large selection of boba drinks and teas. While not completely blown away by the poke, I think the place has a lot of potential and I'd be interested in visiting again in a post-pandemic setting. read more

POKE by Love Art - The Bev and Magma bowls - Poke Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place had some really great potential. When I first went back in February, I got the Classic ($16). The presentation was very appealing. The food was great, the poke chunks were big in size, and the price was somewhat reasonable. Fast forward to June, they went from their trays to smaller bowls. Everything that was once perfectly placed in the trays were now crammed into one small unappealing bowl. The poke chunks that were once big cubes are now thinly sliced sad looking pieces of fish. For $16 you're paying for a tablespoon of poke and 90% rice and lettuce. I was excited to see a poke shop in Boston! However after my second experience I don't think I'll be going back. The ube milk tea was excellent though. Please do not make any changes to that! Only giving 2 stars for the excellent ube milk tea. read more

Perhaps one of my favorite things in the world is happening upon a great poké place in my wanderings. This delightful spot is located a mere block from TD Garden and North Station. They have salad as one of the bases-- my favorite as too much rice ruins the flavorful fish for me. Today, I tried the spicy tuna (chopped not cubed) and the shrimp with the citrus ponzu sauce. Delightful! I'm planning to stop back tomorrow so stay tuned! ps- And if you're looking for a hotel in the area, I am a new but passionate fan of CitizenM hotels! :) read more

!!!!PSA THERE IS ISLAND MAC I REPEAT THERE IS ISLAND MAC HERE!!!! LOVED my Poke Platter- which comes with 2 bases, 2 sides, and 1 protein aka POKE PLATTER B. I got it with brown rice, Hawaiian Mac Salad, Lychee Salsa, and Rainbow Salmon. My plate allowed 3 sauces (yay!!) but I picked 2- Spicy Mayo AND PINEAPPLE AOILI. I love the different options that they have here compared to other poke places in/around the Boston area. Even the sauce selection is huge and unique. That's why I was super excited to come here! The only con would be that it's super small, I'm not sure if they'll add chairs later but you can really only fit 4 people by the window and it's ONLY STANDING. This is probably more of a grab and go place~ nonetheless I will definitely drop by here again (after quarantine), if not, they are on UberEats!! read more

For 2/11-2/13, there is a BOGO deal for the sunrise/sunset with the purchase of a drink. I tried the sunrise bowl which contained salmon, tofu skin, cucumber, brown rice, and other vegetables The vegetables were fresh and the tofu skin was slightly pickled. The salmon was... fine. Nothing bad but it was lacking in quantity and nothing special. The passionfruit fresca was really refreshing and had nice sweetness so I'm glad to have gotten it.

Came here for their soft opening and was super happy! The quality of the fish is SO good! They also give you generous portions. I got the classic which was enough for 1.5 meals. It is a little pricey at $15 though. Next time, I'll probably just get the $9 Poke box which is one protein and one side. For sides, the spam-tato and Hawaiian mac salad are both delicious. Similar to their other restaurants, they have a few drinks available on the side (refillable for free!) I tried them all and liked them all as well. My fave was the lilikoi fresca. Be warned that there's no seating inside. There is one standing counter with enough room for 3ish people?? Definitely a grab and go place read more

This is a heads up to the Manager / owner of poke by love Art on Beverly street . The food here is awesome but the service and your staff (one member in particular ) is truly disgraceful . I live in the NorthEnd so regularly stop by on my walk from the train station to my apartment . The last two times I have been served by said person and on both occasions I was not greeted , no please or thank you . The sourest look on any face I have seen working at any establishment . An extremely rude interaction and has put me clean off on giving you my custom again . Tonight I realized when I got home that my Taro boba had no boba in it at all . This put cream on the cake for me after an already extremely dissatisfactory experience at your store . Management needs to be present so this does not tarnish the reputation of your name . It has already with me . read more

I am a pretty picky when it comes to poke but this was delicious. We decided to get take out as everything was still pretty locked down with the Covid restrictions. This place is definitely more a quick-casual style. I would equate it to a "chipotle" but for poke. You can make your own bowl or go with a signature that they recommend. The rainbow salmon was fresh and my favorite part of the meal had to be the Hawaiian Mac salad. My fellow yelpers recommended and they did not disappoint. It was refreshing and not too overpowering. If you are looking for a quick bite and want something light and refreshing I would totally recommend trying out this spot. A tip is to check in on Yelp so you can get the free fountain drink! Hope everyone is staying safe. read more
