Grainmaker - Somerville

Awesome fast-casual bowl place with lots of Asian-inspired ingredients and sauces. Great portion size for the price range, fast and easy pickup service. A great new addition to the restaurants in Davis Sq.

We had The Local and the Chef Curry... fresh greens and sharp flavors! Loved the various options and combinations that they had to offer! Generous portions too!

I ordered takeout from this restaurant for the first time tonight, after considering it for a while. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very impressed with the food. I got a rice noodle dish, and it was a smaller portion than I expected for the price. Other BYO noodle and salad spots in Boston provide significantly larger servings for the same amount of money. The dish itself wasn’t terrible, but it lacked flavor and the sauce was quite watery. I also ordered sweet chili sauce as a garnish, but they added way too much of it.

All items are gluten-free. The service was quick, and the food was fresh and flavorful. There was an abundance of vegetables.

This restaurant typically offers excellent service and delicious food at a reasonable price, but today’s experience was disappointing. Although we ordered ahead, we still had to wait 30 minutes upon arrival. It took 45 minutes from placing our order to receiving our meals. The person taking our order was not wearing a mask, despite the restaurant's requirement for customers to wear them, and his demeanor was not friendly. To make matters worse, when we got home, my wife discovered a large piece of saran wrap in her food. It was quite unappetizing.
