OMG this was so good! I had the seasonal teriyaki dish. The guy taking my order was very patient when I was indecisive. The restaurant has limited seating, very modern rustic with lots of wood. Price was $10.85 which was very reasonable for dinner. Wish they had this place back home. Sign on the door said "voted best in 2021" - now I see why.

I had the street tacos which were incredible. Gluten free. Dairy free. Absolutely fantastic. They were out of dumplings when I came but i will be back every time I'm in Boston in the future.

The flavors were good but the brown rice had uncooked grains in it, which hurt my teeth because they were so hard. It wasn’t just a few pieces, it was all throughout the rice. The water offered also had no ice in it and it was mixed with cucumbers. The regular water spout didn’t work.

I like the bowl I made and their tacos were pretty cool as well. This Asian fusion cuisine truly packs some flavor for all to enjoy. Ingredients looked super fresh and things were constantly being grilled and restocked as needed. Lemon grass steak tacos and the teriyaki bowl both were good portion and reasonably priced. Also the seating at this location is extensive. Both floor level and upstairs dining.

Negative stars. Had one of each taco- shrimp, steak, chicken. The staff seemed slammed and were cutting corners. Only finished the shrimp, as the others were almost inedible (could not bite off the steak / was like rubber, and chicken was so dry and salty, that's when I gave up and threw it all away). Unfortunately, the story doesn't end there. I'm not sure which one, but I'm guessing the shrimp, gave me food poisoning. I had trouble making myself throw up, but I eventually did, but my system had already processed too much of it. I'm now sick and miserable and missing work because of a stupid taco.

Was a little disappointed in the flavor of the food. I made my own bowl, so it may have been my fault. Otherwise, loved the fact that everything was dairy and gluten free. The dumplings and broccoli were delicious, well cooked with green flavor.

So happy that we decided to stop here for dinner while in Boston! Amazing food with very healthy options. The staff was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great first experience!

The Green Line Salad is recommended.Neat place.Unfriendly crew.

Southeast Asian inspired fast food that is great for a quick meal or lunch.Recent came by to try their miso ramen with the lemongrass steak. When I finally got the bowl, I realized that it was a ramen in name only. The noodles used for the ramen were rice noodles typically used for Pad Thai, and most of the other toppings such as the pickled carrots and kale salad looked like salad bowl toppings. Nevertheless, the bowl actually turned out to be pretty good. Their approach to the dish was certainly unconventional, but with fresh ingredients and quality steak, it felt like eating a warm salad with a broth. Would probably return to try their other bowls.

Delicious. We ordered custom noodle bowls for take out - rice noodles, spicy sauce, broccoli and carrots, pickled vegetables - everything was awesome. We also had some dumplings which were a treat especially the dumpling sauce. Also had a side of sweet potatoes. I did curbside pick up but ran in to get it (my choice because I was able to park right in front) and the space was so clean and the service was super friendly. Highly recommend.
