I cannot say enough good things about Manoa. The food is INCREDIBLE, the fish is very soft and you can tell everything is very fresh, the staff are very warm and kind, and the atmosphere is great overall. I have genuinely had multiple dreams about this place, HIGHLY recommend!!

Superb! It’s fast and delicious; they really really care about their food. I’m really fond of the oka ahi and the grilled salmon. If you order from here, you must also get the upside down cake. Your choice of pineapple or guava vis a vis the cake flavor. That’s my advice to you

My go-to restaurant for takeout in Somerville - truly the best!! Every week the ahi shoyu is amazing and cucumber kimchi / mac salad are my favorite sides!
Delicious Poke in town, really love the mix plate which you could choose 2 protein. I chose the BBQ Salmon and Kalua Pig, they were tasty. Both protein had rich flavor that blended with the rice, salad, and macaroni. The menu cost me $24.57 (include tips). My friend ordered mini mix which had smaller portion. The Ahi shoyu & Salmon shoyu were fresh & mouthwatering. The waiters were friendly, and there were free iced water & restrooms. Would come back to this resto.

Manoa Poke – Somerville, MA 🍱🌺 📍 300 Beacon St, Somerville, MA 02143
If you’re craving authentic Hawaiian poke, Manoa Poke is where it’s at! 🌊🐟 We tried their Mix Plate which comes with fluffy white rice 🍚, creamy mac salad 🥗, crunchy kimchi cucumbers 🥒🔥, and your choice of two proteins—we went with spicy tuna and salmon. Both were solid, but the real winner? 👑
✨SALMON BELLY✨ Coated in the most addicting teriyaki sauce 🍯, it was sweet, savory, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. I don’t even like salmon usually, but this blew me away. 10/10 would order again (and again 😍).
We also tried the Kalua Pig 🐖—tender pulled pork shoulder slow-cooked to perfection, served with their housemade yaki sauce. It’s juicy, flavorful, and a must-try for anyone who’s not big on seafood.
🍰 Dessert time! We finished with their Mango Cake—a spongey, tropical dream. The real MVP? That fluffy, flavorful frosting. 🌴 Can’t wait to come back and try the pineapple version! 🍍💛
⏰ Heads up: This place gets busy even right at opening (3PM!) and some things sell out fast, so get there early! 🕒🚶♀️
Food: 9/10 Ambiance: Grab-and-go vibes, not really a dine-in hangout. 0 – Definitely a treat yo’self kinda meal 💸 but you’re paying for quality and real island flavor 🌈✨

The only place in MA that makes poke just like they do in Hawaii. Simply Large chunks of fish and light on the sauce, plus high quality rice. Super ono. 🤙🏽 The other poke shops are not authentic
Great everything but the small portion of rice
