Being only open for 2.5 hours once a week, Matcha Boy is a bit of an elusive find inside Nibble Kitchen at Bow Market. However, it's worth visiting if you can catch the window. The staff was super friendly and walked me through the menu. I was between the Azuki Matcha Latte or the CHAffogato but ultimately decided to go for the latter since it's not something I've seen at a matcha spot before.For $6, I got a cup of sweet vanilla ice cream drowned in some hot hojicha. I originally thought that they would give me the hojicha separately to pour myself, but they do it for you before handing over your order, so be sure to have your camera ready if you are interested in recording (I missed my opportunity haha).The ice cream was rich and the perfect amount of sweetness, which is what I love the most about Asian desserts. It also had bits of ice that added some texture variety with each bite. The hojicha added a subtle nuttiness that elevated the ice cream. If I had a biscotto or cookie to top this off, it would have been perfect.Overall, I am really happy that I got to try this dessert, and I'll definitely be back to try the Azuki Matcha Latte.

My review is about East Fruit Smoothies' Jamaican food available on the weekends..I haven't tried their smoothies as yet which is what they are known for hence the name lol... but as a Jamaican missing home food often it's a nice to know there's somewhere nearby other than Flames. It's not a large selection of dishes, just: Jerk Chicken, Oxtail and a curried Vegetarian option.We ordered the Jamaican loaded fries with oxtail and the classic Jamaican plate with jerk chicken.I know making food taste exactly like it does in Jamaica can be a challenge to some restaurants because of what's available locally in America and can be a hit or a miss but their food is very close to authentic for anyone who hasn't tried Jamaican food before.I liked the loaded fries with the oxtail. It's a great way to combine more Jamaican culture with wherever loaded fries were invented. Personally, I think the fries could do without the jerk powder. The oxtail itself is really good. - 9/10I didn't try the Jerk Chicken plate since my husband ordered that separately for his lunch the next day and he said it was good. He said he was able to get 2 meals out of it but only thing missing is some raw / steam veg / macaroni on the side lol - 8/10I'll be back to try the oxtail plate and try a smoothie!

Was honestly kind of disappointed with my food- This was during the Japanese Bento Special. Portions were small and food did not taste good considering the price. Got the croquette sandwich which was actually quite tasty, but the salmon bento was a huge disappointment. There was almost no seasoning at all and the sides were cold. Had to get a second meal afterwards.The area is quite nice and cozy, good place to go after work.

Currently, this place is Nagomi Bento on Wed-Friday. Pork-Katsu Sandwich was amazing. They are making their bread from scratch in house. Kara-age, fried tofu, and salmon bento were super good. Vegetarian options were also there (eggplant). They were doing Matcha special drinks right now too. Very reasonable price for the quality and quantity. Highly recommend!!!

Incredible restaurants pop up in here, most recently Nagomi, which has INCREDIBLE (and authentic) bento boxes and other amazing Japanese treats. Couldn't recommend more highly!!!

I went to Bow Market on a Friday night and stopped by Nibble Kitchen... just to try a nibble. They had a special Nagomi Bento Menu, so I decided to try something out. I went with the Salmon Onigiri, which was essentially a rice ball that had little bits of salmon in it and some scallions on top. It had a nice texture and the outside was blowtorched, so the rice had a fun smokey flavor to it. This was by no means a meal, so I'd recommend ordering a few if you're on the hungrier side.I would recommend eating outside or at Remnant Brewing, since the restaurant is pretty small. The staff there was really nice, even though I just ordered a small snack. Great spot if you just want to grab a quick bite. I would be happy to visit again and try another menu offering!
Perfect onigiri bites and this katsu sando that slaps. Will be eating here again. So delicious.

Best Chicken ever had! You cannot find it anywhere else. The owners are super friendly. Definitely try the fried chicken!

Nagomi Bento has some of the best food in a 10 mile radius. I was blown away by their Chicken Karaage Bento, it was sweet, savory, and exceptionally delicious. I'd give it an 11/10!!! And the staff is so friendly and the service is great! Highly recommended

Love the Jordanian food! The way he seasons the chicken in the pita wrap is mmm mmm! The platters are great too.
