Best poke and best Hawaiian food in Boston for sure. Poke was so ‘ono, so delicious. We got kalua pig plates with ahi shoyu and salmon shoyu poke I wish I knew about this place sooner!! I’ve been craving food from back home and this hits the spot. Also I love that they had Hawaiian Sun.

I got the spicy tuna and salmon shoyu mix bowl. I think I had high expectations for this place because of all the reviews. I think both the proteins were very fresh. I do think the spicy tuna was not spicy and could have surprisingly used a little more flavor. I think the cucumber salad could have been a little more fresh. I also got the guava cake — the actual cake was a little dense but still enjoyable and the guava frosting was absolutely delicious. I do think both the poke bowls and dessert were on the pricier side.

Such good fish, best shoyu ahi in the city, wish I just got a pound of that. But why would you put this much ginger when the fish is fresh? The ginger concentration is honestly offensive, it brings back the trauma when I was five and my grandma chopped up ginger to secretly mix in my food because she thinks it’s good for me. Please, ginger is good, but not when it’s the majority of the marinate and a part of the salad.

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.
Affordability: 5/10 – Definitely a treat yo’self kinda meal but you’re paying for quality and real island flavor ✨

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.

Best poke in Boston, period. Taste fresh, good portion, and good presentation. Excellent staffs, and quick service. A bit expensive these days… But still worth. It’s a small place so wouldn’t say I would love to go “dine in”.

I love poke, but I’ve never been to Hawaii, so truthfully I do not know how the poke I’ve eaten up ’til now compares to authentic poke. However, I heard that Manoa serves the closest I can get to authentic poke, so I wanted to check it out. The place normally doesn’t open until 5pm, but this was a special week where it opened a bit earlier at 4:30pm, which is why I decided to go since I usually eat earlier.

I placed an online order for 4:30pm, but my food wasn’t ready until 4:40pm. The inside was very colorful with minimal seating. There were free anime stickers at the cash register!

– BBQ Gohan Bowl ($15): Smaller portion size than the ahi katsu plate for the same price but still filling. I was most excited about the soy-cured egg, but it seeped into the rice by the time I got home, so I did not get the satisfaction of popping the yolk, sadly. I definitely tasted the BBQ flavor, and the salmon was cooked well (not dry). However, there was too much sauce, so I found the dish too salty, which is a common theme as you’ll continue reading.
– Ahi Katsu Plate ($15): Huge portion, though largely because there was a ton of rice. I don’t eat this much rice, so if there were an option to order the ahi katsu a la carte or substitute the rice with other sides, I would have done so. However, the rice was cooked well. The ahi katsu was crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside (but again, I found it on the saltier side; same for the kimchi cucumbers). I liked the refreshing lightness of the mac salad.
– Manoa Dip with Wonton Chips ($9): The dip tasted similar to the BBQ Gohan Bowl: thick and creamy but salty. I did not like the wonton chips; they tasted way too oily and were too brittle to actually be used to scoop the dip.
– Pineapple Cake ($7): This dessert was interesting; I liked it. It was basically a sponge cake infused with pineapple syrup. Very soft and flavorful. The cake was wrapped in thin slices of fresh pineapple, but I found the taste similar to canned pineapple.

Overall, the prices were decent, and the food was flavorful but just too salty for my taste. I also didn’t get any poke like I had originally planned (the stuff that I ended up ordering just sounded too good; also, I thought the dip was going to be raw, but I did not read the description carefully enough), so maybe I will enjoy the poke more.

My absolute favorite restaurant in the area!!! The fish is high quality, fresh, and delicious. My favorite is the BBQ salmon and salmon shoyu but you really can’t go wrong here. But know that when you go to Manoa, you’re going for the vibes and family. Jacob and his team are so friendly, kind, and really care for this community. Their delicious meals single handedly fed all my friends through the highs and lows of school and they probably wouldn’t have survived without Manoa. Go hungry, and they really mean it when they say you leave family 🙂 Enjoy the meal and don’t forget that you can always cater from them for special events!! Such a gem and is the place I’ve missed most since leaving the area.

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
