I used to frequent this place when I lived in the city and the food was always fantastic. Service used to be great, but not the last time we were there. Our server was nice, but it seemed like they couldn't be bothered. They forgot to get our second drink. The owner was nice to give me a side of rice for my meal. His service is always great. I may go back because they do have great fried chicken, but will probably go elsewhere if I'm making a trip to the city for a night out.

Great food but terribly unfriendly service. 23% service charge to be treated like garbage by server? Not again!

The staff at Brassica are so knowledgeable, fun, and friendly. They bump the best playlists, joke with you, discuss taste preferences, honor allergies, and are actually excited to provide a good dining experience. It's truly a neighborhood gem that I want to gatekeep so badly but will not because everyone deserves this level of stellar dining and the team here deserves to succeed! The food is funky with a heavy focus on fermentation along with honing culinary techniques from around the world without trying to put out “Asian food” or “Latin cuisine” or “fusion”, just their own creations. They make spirits in house (turns out I can like vermouth!) and source wines from places most others restaurants don’t dare to cover. It’s where I bring all my visitors if I can snag a table!

2.5 stars. They only had one breakfast option, an $11 egg & cheese biscuit. That plus a hot drink came to $21 bucks. The door wasn't open at the listed time so had to wait a bit. It may be better for dinner though.

Everything about it is great. Energetic fun staff. Cozy atmosphere. Fantastic interesting food. Some excellent staple dishes they have (Koji Risotto!), and always some new fun things. You will likely try something totally new if it's your first time going. I really feel like it's the best restaurant in JP.

We stopped into the Brassica Kitchen and Cafe as a party of three on a Saturday evening in March. I read that this was a popular spot in the Jamaica Plains section of Boston and decided to book a reservation. I recommend booking early because this is a popular location.The restaurant is located on the street with street parking available. When we entered the restaurant, all of the tables were taken. However, we were seated quickly when the next table opened up. While we waited, we were greeted by the bartender who recommended a drink of the menu based on our taste.Once seated, we reviewed the menu, which included many unique items you won't find at traditional restaurants. There is an option on the menu to try most of the dishes that they call "The Ride" which consists of many small plates. Two of us ordered "The Ride" and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Our waiter brought a small dish every few minutes and explained what was on each dish. Everything was very unique and delicious. We also ordered the fried chicken, which was very good.The service during our meal was great. During our dining experience, the bartender came over to our table to bring us another drink order and had a drink with us. The only issue we had was the donut (part of "The Ride") at the end never came out. They ended up getting us the donut to go and added a piece of flan in the bag.Overall, we really enjoyed our dining experience, and all of the the food and drinks were top quality. I highly recommend stopping into Brassica Kitchen and Cafe if you are in the Boston area and want to try something unique.

I aint like the chicken sandwhich I got, it was just very huge and hard to eat. I feel like it was undercooked too, just a bad chicken sandwhich, terrible. but the brussel sprouts? Delicious. Definitely can be a lot to eat at once as it is heavily seasoned, but excellent nonetheless. I just genuinely appreciated the service. I aint ever have someone check in on me with so much care as Evan did, just brightened my gloomy day so very grateful for their spirit and I hope they know how sweet and kind they are! Gratitude!

Noah and Anna made for such an amazing experience. So warm and welcoming. Made sure each dish we had was paired with the right drink. Spent the time during busy service to chat. Will be back every time we're in Boston!!
Our server was PHENOMENAL! she suggested off menu items that were really good, such as the breakfast fried rice with maple sausage, a biscuit with a side of gravy (the gravy is incredible) and fries with bernaise sauce. The host was funny, and nice and overall it was just a really fun brunch.Parking: Street parking can be hard, but there is lots of parking across the street at the forest hills lot or it is easy to use public transit to get to the restaurant since it is located across the street from forest hills.

Consistently on the best restaurants in Boston for funky vibes and a funkier menu.

One of the few restaurants that changes their menu constantly. Always creative. Interesting cocktails. Always a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Always friendly servers and great service.
