    I am a big fan of this location, especially for a quick and easy lunch! I enjoy the variety of options that Poke Garden has to offer, and it is really fun to make new bowls all the time! I especially love the shrimp tempura and salmon bowls, and they are always sure to give generous portions! The workers are very kind and quick to serve you at the counter. Little pricey but worth it for the poke bowls!

    Sometimes I just need a poke bowl. I pop in here from time to time for zucchini noodle poke bowls with salmon. This time I also got a passionfruit overload green tea. There is nothing overly special about this place. If you want consistent poke bowl with good customer service, this is a good spot.

    My boyfriend and I were in the area and I suggested we get lunch take out from here because I'm still 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

    A decent poke sushi place located in Brookline Village. Nothing special, but a standard meal to fill you up. I ordered a poke bowl with eel & tuna with seaweed salad and Hawaiian shoyu sauce. I wish there was an option for multiple add-ons to your poke bowl, but since there isn't they do give you a lot for your add on. I got a lot of seaweed salad in my bowl. They were definitely really heavy with the sauce on my poke bowl. There didn't look like much in my bowl, but it was filling as there was 3 pieces of eel and a handful of tuna chunks. There was a good amount of poke to rice ratio, so everything mixed well together. I also ordered a tin guan yin bubble tea, which was okay. The boba was vey inconsistent, some were soft and chewy, while others were hard in the middle. It seems like they mixed yesterday's old boba with new boba they made today. The milk tea wasn't too sweet, but did taste a bit powdery. Overall, not the best poke, but also not the worst, so if you're in the area and craving sushi it'll do the job.

    Definitely recommend going to Poke Garden! I have been going to their restaurant just recently and all of my visits were delightful. Their customer service is great and the bowls are just delicious! They are a little pricy but it's definitely worth it for such a delicious meal! I will be definitely coming back!

    Food is good, although for the price portions could be a bit better. Everything was ruined halfway thru drinking their japanese soda when I checked their expiration date, If thats the case please BE CAREFUL WHEN BUYING DRINKS HERE. DISGUSTING

    The Poke bowl here is quite good. I got the spicy salmon, which was delicious. All the ingredients were fresh - I would definitely come back here

    Great poke spot in Brookline. Super friendly service. I had a build your own poke, with salmon and tuna. Lots of selection and everything was fresh. Quick and easy to get good poke!

    This is my third visit to this location: and I will say I will become a regular. Tonight I got the build your own poke bowl. All of the ingredients are very fresh and tasty. There are many toppings and sauces offered that you can put on your bowl. I would recommend getting a bowl with the grilled chicken and wasabi shoyu sauce! It is incredible. This very laid back location is great to grab a quick bite to eat, as well as very clean!

    Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl
    Dena T.

    I've been waiting to try this place since the "coming soon" sign went up last year. I was devastated to lose Yokohama as my local mom and pop sushi place and was a devoted customer. So I had high standards for anyone new coming into the neighborhood sushi game. Tonight I finally got to try Poke Garden and I was pleasantly surprised by how great it was. Since it looks like more of a fast casual place rather than having the more "traditional" look of other sushi restaurants, I wasn't sure how good the quality of the food would be. I had the Ahi Tuna poke bowl with sushi rice and Ahi sauce, and it was excellent! The tuna was really fresh and tasty and they gave a very generous portion of fish. I look forward to trying the salmon and all the varieties. I'm excited to try their take on the sushi burrito, and they have something I hadn't heard of called Makirittos which seem to be mini sushi rolls. Also I must say that I am someone who hates DIY in food options -- I never can get the flavor combos right, but I feel totally equipped to build my own bowl next time. It's much less stressful than other places because they offer unlimited add-ins of toppings, so I'm not struggling to figure out what I want to eat and calculate the price of my meal and decide if it's worth it all at the same time. I greatly appreciate this simplified pricing method! Plus, the customer service was excellent. The woman who helped me was very sweet. I will definitely be coming here regularly for all my sushi needs. And extra bonus points for serving their takeout in what appears to be compostable or recycled paper bowls. Gotta love the eco friendly touches!

    Happy to come across this place cause I am a poke bowl lover and this place is in a nice location, clean & friendly staff. This place has zucchini noodles as an alternative to sushi/white rice which I like. I've come several times and some times the food selection looks like its been sitting out all day and not so fresh.

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 !!!

I decided to order Spam Musubi (rice and spam), a Byte (mini fried chicken), and tapioca tea! My girl went into the store and had the food ready within 3 minutes, which is really awesome as we were in a hurry. However, we were really disappointed by what was inside that bag, as none of them were as good as we expected. 1) Spam Musubi's rice was lost in texture itself. It tasted like old rice. Yet spam was well not bad. We ate all of them. 2) bytes( mini fried chicken) they were overcooked. I attach the picture of it. So hard to chew and meat was nothing there. And I requested mayo but it was not there. But spicy sauce was with them instead in the box. The kids were complaining it was too spicy for mayo. 3) boba tea, I ordered with boba with extra fee. But it was not there just milk tea with brown suger. Later my girl who went to there to pick up, told me the server continued to speak to her even though my girl told to write down as she was deaf. Can't lipreading. Quite disappointed with the service and food.

They have the option of take out too! We got a couple appetizers to try & each got a different ramen. Here's what we ordered: APPETIZERS - chicken karaage - okonomiyaki-styled tater tots - green papaya salad RAMEN - miso ramen - spicy miso ramen - chef's ultra ramen - spicy tan tan ramen Thoughts: I thought the appetizer portions were pretty generous! A lot more than we were all expecting. I was pretty much already full before the ramens came out. Wasn't a big fan of the green papaya salad. It was missing some flavor. We all thought that it would be better if it had some tomatoes & garlic. Didn't seem like they used a mortar to ground the aromatics or anything, since the sauce just tasted like fish sauce and lime. The chicken karaage was okay. Wish there was more sauce to dip the chicken with. Chicken was also on the drier side. The tater tots were the best appetizer of the three we ordered, IMO. If you like takoyaki balls, you'll like this because it has similar sauces + bonito flakes. Ours needed some salt though. As for the ramens, I personally had the spicy miso ramen. It was missing a lot of depth in the broth that I would've liked to see (& taste). I didn't taste any miso to be honest. Salt was needed too. The highlights for the ramen were the chashu & corn. I loved that they used fresh corn! The chashu had the perfect amount of fattiness & almost melted in my mouth. The noodles were nice and chewy. The broth was just disappointing though. For the other ramens, everyone enjoyed the one they ordered. I tried a little of the chef's ultra ramen & the broth was much better than my spicy miso. Btw, the spicy miso ramen is not spicy at all for anyone who is hesitant & cannot do overly spicy foods. The food was a bit disappointing for me. I came in with high expectations with all the good reviews I read beforehand. Not terrible but not great.

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.
