Fóumami

This review is for both Foumami (lunch takeout/dine-in) and Makeboluo Pizza (evening takeout). Makeboluo, the sister concept of Foumami, invented the concept of scallion pancake pizza dough (in comparison to deep dish, NY style, Detroit style, etc) with Asian-inspired toppings! We tried the Soseji and 5 spice BBQ; I preferred the Soseji for its unique standout flavors. It had sambal chili sauce and sesame soy pork sausage, and the 5 spice BBQ was topped with 5 spice chicken and Asian bbq sauce. The crust was sooo flaky and tasty by itself and seriously tastes like a scallion pancake. I found myself longing for the sweet soy dipping sauce while eating the crust. When I go back, I'm definitely trying their more unique Asian flavors that really make this business stand out like the Kewpie pizza. You can find Makeboluo on UberEats! I've also tried a couple of sandwiches from Foumami that use authentic shao bing bread, which is a flakier crispy bread similar to a scallion pancake. Since the bread is on the drier side compared to a soft fluffy bread, I recommend getting the sandwiches that comes with sauce like the chicken katsu! However, my favorite sandwich was the Spicy grilled pork loin, which came with pickled vegetables and reminded me of a banh mi.

MOST DELICIOUS food in the financial district! I can not sing their praises enough. I go here at least twice a week for their bibimbap salad. It is So Unique, inventive and borderline addictive. I can't get enough of it and they give your fantastic homemade Scallion pancakes with every meal.

It should have been 4 stars. This is why I ask for sauce on the side. Now this beautiful salad is like a sad and droopy soup. I know it's easier for you and cuts down wait time if everything is prepped for fast service. Our office is walking distance from Foumami Franklin St, but this was a wasted walk on a lovely late afternoon. I hope you take this as constructive and will make a salad with sauce on the side as usually occurs upon request anywhere else. Why not please the customer? Maybe you will see more of us return with happy expectations. The rice and protein is fine, but the salad is ruined, hence the 2 stars instead of 4. So sorry I couldn't give you more.

Love this spot!!! Such a unique and flavorful taste. Their scallion pancake pizzas and sandwiches are so delicious. I would highly recommend coming here for lunch or takeout for dinner. Can’t wait to be back.

Sandwich was reasonably tasty (the spicy grilled pork loin is the one I chose), though nowhere near as spicy as I would've preferred. The quality of materials is good, but the quantity is poor. Do not go here if you are hungry. The scallion pancakes were very disappointing and not worth getting as a side. Too thick and lacking nuance in flavor and texture. Overpriced location, too, in the Financial District of Boston.

This place was slammed on a Tuesday at noon. I had the spicy pepper chicken sandwich and a small cup of hot and sour soup. The sandwich at first did not seem like it was going to be sufficient enough... But! It was that and more. The hot and sour soup was very peppery. I really love pepper! But if someone who did not like pepper were to order this item, they may not enjoy it too much. Try it out! The next time I go there, I will order the chicken katsu sandwich.

Three of us visited for the first time and found the food to be very good. Prices were typical for the area, and the portions were filling. I had the rice bowl lunch special and found the ride somewhat dry, but there was plenty of meat and vegetables so definitely no skimping. Would recommend for future visits.

Foumami is an excellent place for a casual lunch downtown. The sandwiches are made with bing (like a doughier scallion pancake). Most of the sandwiches I've tried here have delicious flavorful meats complimented by tart pickled vegetables for the perfect balance of acidity to savory. Though it gets busy, they are pretty efficient and fast. I am not a huge fan of their salads or any of their sandwiches with chilled meats. Their soup and rice bowl specials are okay too, but I think the sandwiches are their star. Oh and I love their hot and iced teas - unique punchy flavors.
