This place is SO cool. It's been on my radar for awhile, but today was my first time visiting. I was greeted with bright, fun colors and beautiful murals very reminiscent of Hawaii. Step in and veer right to the counter where you are guided through assembling your perfect bowl or pokérito (burrito with poké). There are cooked and raw options to suit all palate preferences. There is a large self-seating dining room to the left of the counter, which makes this place appealing for casual family outings. They even have a stack of board games on hand in the dining area to encourage extra fun with family and/or friends.

My 2 friends and I got bowls. Unfortunately there was barely any sauce ... ingredients seemed limited. Left us a little disappointed for the price point.

Clean, hip place large eat in space and its nicely designed. Clean facility I didn’t spot any flies. Best part the service is fast and the food is fresh and delicious! Very big portions (everything is served in chipotle sized bowl). See photo i mixed all the food before eating!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this place! The service was amazing from the moment I walked in. The staff is super kind, sweet, and really attentive. The food was absolutely delicious — the poke bowls are fresh and full of flavor.
The space is also very cute and cozy, which makes the whole experience even better.
I accidentally dropped my bowl, and they were so understanding and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was okay. That kind of care really shows how great their customer service is. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommend this restaurant!!!!!

Wow, the food here is so delicious! Best lunch option in Melrose. I like to make my own bowl with salmon but my husband always gets the chicken bowl they have on the menu and he loves it. It feels healthy and fresh.

Good food. 2/4 times I’ve been there, however I have not received the extra crispy wontons I have paid extra for. Tad bit sloppy given it’s clearly itemized on the order and receipt.
I’ve Driven by here numerous times, and my curiosity finally led me into Big Fin on Main St in Melrose center and I’m so glad it did! From the inviting and relaxing atmosphere to the generous and healthy poke bowl selections, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations. The standout, however, was the owner himself Lifan Wu's hands-on approach, evident in his interactions with customers. His genuine passion for his craft shines through, making the dining experience truly special and the entire staff were a mirrored reflection of his passion and leadership.
The Portion sizes at Big Fin were satisfyingly large, with fresh ingredients and impeccable presentation elevating each dish.
In conclusion, Big Fin is a must-visit spot that seamlessly combines delectable healthy cuisine, welcoming ambiance, and exceptional customer service under one roof.

Amazing poke place that feels like it should be in Hawaii. The fish is fresh and all. The flavors extremely authentic. Also super clean restaurant. I always eat here when passing by Melrose.

High quality food, good atmosphere. Not too busy on a Saturday and no waiting to get my bowl.

I love going here on my off days and usually anticipate on my next visit! I’ve been going here since they opened up at the Northshore Mall. Was super happy I don’t have to travel far for poke!
I love the quantity, the freshness, and presentation! I always highly recommend this place! Great atmosphere and great drink selection! Keep up the good work 💗

I love the quantity of fresh ingredients in one bowl and the ability to customize with the help of the friendly staff. Big Fin has become the go-to lunch place for my husband and I on busy work days. We also enjoy eating in on the weekend.
