"Manoa Poke Shop currently operates on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, running pop-ups and offering catering services on the side. Of course, the poke itself is excellent but savor the mochiko fried chicken as well." - Nathan Tavares
"This popular Porter Square poke shop serves takeaway Wednesday through Saturday. Go for the poke and irresistible fried chicken, and be wowed by the fan-favorite pineapple cake, which comes in individual servings. “Grandma’s recipe,” notes the menu. “Every piece is a corner piece,” meaning you’ll find the ideal balance of chewy and ooey gooey in every bite." - Tanya Edwards
"Somerville’s Manoa Poke Shop has a perfect slice of guava cake with a heavenly guava cream cheese frosting." - Karen Wilber
"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" - Dana Hatic
"Manoa Poke Shop is reopening in Somerville on Saturday, September 28, in its former space. Initially, it will operate from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. The permanent hours are yet to be decided. The shop closed in January 2019 after operating for two years but continued to pop up at various events. It was one of the first in the Boston area to serve poke, and its reopening will feature poke, Polynesian foods, and fan-favorite fried chicken." - Terrence Doyle
