Cozy eatery serving a rotating menu of international food, with Latin American & Bengali options.

Loved the food. Yummy! Only criticism is the $9 spring roll appetizer I ordered — while very tasty was way too thin. For the quantity it should have been priced at around $6 but hey isn’t everything overpriced in Boston? The chicken bowl was just right.

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.

I love the concept of having a rotating menu featuring local chefs; what a great way to highlight different cuisines! As a Filipino, I love to see some pinoy representation, so I came for lunch on Wednesday and got the pancit with lumpia and a calamansi drink. The drink was very refreshing, and the food was delicious! I especially loved the lumpia, it was so crispy and cooked perfectly. Pancit was also very good. The staff was super nice as well. I’m very glad I came and hope to visit again in the future Sarap!

I liked their concept of having rotational menus allowing different chefs to have a place to cook and present their cuisine. Definitely a concept that needs more attention and visibility in the Boston food scene. I can’t remember what I’d ordered but it was delicious.

We loved the Boukannen Afro-Haitian cuisine! The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were so delicious, and the portions were generous. We loved the drinks (lemonade/mint and passion fruit) as well! The owner Mimie was so kind to us and offered us samples to taste to ensure we loved what we ordered.

Great place to check out and indulge in a great cooks food. Owner was very busy and line was long increasing wait time, but I promise its worth the weight. Def some Caribbean local food. The owner is so sweet and you can tell there is a lot of love in the food!

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!!!

Really good food and great staff. Based on food alone, I’d put it in the 4 star category (see below). The mission of the place, the rotating menu, and the clear passion of the people running it would make me so happy to recommend it and keep trying the different cuisines, putting it into the 5 star range. Impressive that they can do what they do so well while essentially running several different restaurants…
1 star = never go back
2 star = would go if a friend wanted to
3 star = would go myself if it hit the particular craving i wanted. Average
4 star = good food. Acceptable or better service. Would go again and recommend
5 star = does what it does very well. Great all around. Would frequent

The yuca fries were absolutely incredible. They had a crispy outside with a savory seasoning, and they was tossed with tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh herbs in a tomato-y, mildly spicy sauce. It made for a very refreshing small meal. The staff were also very friendly, and judging by the flyers posted on the wall, it also seemed to be a LGBTQ+ friendly place.

The concept of nibble kitchen is to be a kitchen with rotating restaurants which is right up my alley. I visited them when they were serving Bengali food from Chef Afruza Akther. I got the Kati Roll which was delicious and perfectly wrapped in home made paratha. It paired very well with the house made mustard sauce or kasundhi. I also got the Shingara which was crispy and warm and had a nice added touch of chaat masala. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the food and would love to go back.
