"Manoa Poke Shop closed its storefront at the beginning of 2019, shifting focus to its catering operations — a sad loss for Somerville as it was one of the Boston area’s first and best poke shops. But later in the year, the storefront reopened (although just on weekends), and it’s even better than before. I can’t get the fried chicken plate out of my head, and the addition of a weekly special, chile-glazed salmon belly, really took the plate to the next level. —RLB" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Dana Hatic
