Yay for GF options! Overall, a great experience! Rice noodles disintegrated, but I’m used to that in gluten free dishes. Chicken was delicious, peanut sauce was a tasty but a little thick, needed a little more heat, veggies were AMAZING. Kale/bok choy and broccoli was the best. I had high hopes for the GF dumplings, but they managed to be both crunchy and dry on the outside and mushy on the inside. Thai basil lemonade is awesome! Overall, really fun space, great seating upstairs, and we will remember this place next time we are in Boston!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!

We used to love Grainmaker and have gone multiple times. Lunch this time was very disappointing. Carrots/papaya mix had a rotten smell & taste to them (had to be thrown out), rice was dry, and it was over sauced - the sauce was all I could taste. What a shame :/

The food was decent and the atmosphere of the place itself was okay. They didn't have some items on the menu (poké, shrimp tacos) which was conveyed to me very unapologetically, but no big deal.My experience wasn't great because the lady taking orders didn't speak English clearly, which is totally fine, but I had to ask her to repeat herself as a result. She directed her frustration towards me and afterwards was quite rude to me while being friendly with the only other customer who spoke Spanish with her. I understand repeating yourself can be frustrating but her anger/frustration directed to me as if asking for clarification on an order was a personal affront is not an acceptable response.The rest of the dining experience was fine and the food was okay, but the service dampened the overall experience and I won't be coming back as a result.

Originally wanted the spicy tuna burrito but because of a misunderstanding I ended up with the Tuna poke bowl. Y’all…this slapped! The guacamole, tuna and sauce brings so much flavor to the plate I love it.I frequent here for lunch and in regards to flavor they might not go home with the gold medal but they for sure take it home for how healthy and fresh the food is. You feel great after eating.My criticism in regards to flavor; the veggies need a little love that’s all.Shout out to the new kid on staff who put it together, I wish I could remember his name. It was delicious.

Ordered takeout so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere really but I ordered the curry bowl. It was way too spicy, and wasn't labeled on the website. It's good, but I might've considered ordering something else had I known. I think they should indicate that on the menu.

Fast food options similar to Sweetgreen and Chipotle. You can make your own bowl, or select from premade options. Price was decent, many healthy and wholesome choices, such as brown rice and various veggies. Good option for lunch, and still cheaper than Sweetgreen.

Amazing place, amazing people. Some of the nicest staff I’ve ever encountered in my life. I can’t recommend this place enough. And awesome vegan options.
Dedicated gluten free: safe for celiacs. The menu is varied Asian fusion, they have tacos too. Both were good. Sometimes restaurants have too many options but this was well integrated.I get takeout from here if I don’t want to worry about cross contamination for celiac, it’s also got a variety of flavor.

I'm writing this review as I sit here chowing down on a burrito and potstickers (aka dumplings). I'm celiac and my husband got to enjoy a sourdough bowl of chowder up in the market, so then we had to find food for me. Score! The spicy tuna burrito is so delicious and the tortilla didn't fall apart. The potstickers were amazing, I haven't had one in years. Also, don't miss the blueberry soda. Just 3 ingredients, I enjoyed it so much when normally I don't do soda. Topped it off with a brownie! I'm visiting and this place has made me jealous of locals who get to enjoy it!Dietary restrictions: Everything is 100% dairy and gluten free!

Worst experience ever. Visiting my daughter at college in Boston and found this place. Thought I found a gem because I am celiac and was very excited about the menu. Placed an order. 45 minutes later I receive a text that the driver is on his way. Never received my order after that. I called the store and they said they would try to find out what happened and get back to me. They didn't call me back and then the restaurant closed. Couldn't get in touch with anyone and spent $80 for a meal we did not receive.I would give it zero stars if I could.

I thought they’d cook the noodles, sauce, and vegetables together but they just layer them. The teriyaki sauce is too thin and the broccoli was raw

I got the OG crispy tofu bowl with crispy shallots and edamame. The variety of veggies is good with awesome textures. It was a bit heavy on the sweet potato, though.Vegetarian options: Good veg options and add-ons
