Kokoda

I've seen a few IG influencers posting about this place so it intrigued me. I was in the area and needed something to eat quick (hangry mode). The atmosphere was very chill and the service was quick. I got the Ponzu Tofu bowl, a peach orchard black tea, and a salmon roll. The Ponzu Tofu bowl was full of flavor and it made it even better knowing it's a healthy alternative with all the veggies, tofu and brown rice. The peach orchard black tea was refreshing and wasn't too sweet. The salmon roll with the sauce was just divine. Overall, nice vibe, quick service, and super delicious food!

If you ever find yourself in Boston's Seaport and craving sushi, check this place out! With an adorable two-floor interior, this unassuming poke place has a wide range of premade bowls, make-your-own bowls, snack wraps, and more!We ordered the Seaport Special bowl, Hawaiian Shoyu bowl, the Lomi Lomi and Spicy Tuna snack wraps, and two drinks! The Seaport bowl came with salmon, tuna, avocado mash, corn, edamame, tomatoes and some sauces on top of rice and some greens. The quality of the fish was great but I didn't entirely love the combination of ingredients. I think it could've done without the tomatoes but overall good flavor! The Hawaiian Shoyu comes with tuna, onions, cucumber, and scallion on top of rice and greens as well. This was a little bland because there wasn't any sauce but tuna was still very fresh!The Spicy Tuna snack wrap was pretty standard but I was pleasantly surprised by the Lomi Lomi wrap! It came with chopped salmon, tomato, and onions. It almost tasted like a lox bagel wrap.We got both the Passionfruit Mangoade and Dragonfruit Lime Refreshers and they were delicious. My favorite was the Passionfruit Mangoade!Overall, I would definitely go again for a quick, fresh meal.

Food: DELICIOUS, super fresh, and HUGE poke bowls! Everything was super high quality and made to perfection. Definitely, this is some of the best poke that I've had!Service: Food was really fast (I mean it is poke, haha), I also recommend the Jasmine green tea (unsweetened hehe). Ambiance: Store is cute, quiet, small (but has 2 floors of seating), but lots of natural light. It was nice and quiet on a Saturday at 3pm for a late lunch with friends. So glad I was able to check out this place on a Saturday, such a yummy poke spot!

The poké bowl here may be slightly cheaper than elsewhere at $15 (before tax and tip), but it isn't worth it. The scoops of protein are small and they are so light on the sauce that the rest of the bowl is pretty bland. The flavors in general are whitewashed and not really Hawaiian. There are so many other food options in the neighborhood that you'd be better off going somewhere else.

This is my first time trying Kokoda. The flavor of the bowls were good. I didn't like that they used regular white rice for the base, would much prefer sushi rice. The white rice was too mushy, probably used too much water to cook the rice. I also thought there were a bit too much sauce for the bowl everything was soggy.The salmon snack wrap was actually better than the bowls. They used sushi rice for them. The sushi rice was seasoned perfectly so you don't need any sauce. I tried it with Calamansi Verde sauce and I thought it was a bit gingery for my taste. Didn't go well with my salmon.

The design of this cute little poké place immediately caught my eye, the food turned out to be just as good! I created my own custom bowl with 1 protein (and a bunch of other toppings), and the staff brought it out to me within just a couple minutes. The quality of the ingredients was definitely there for me, however, I wish I received more protein for the price. I got a pretty standard bowl for around $14, and I've definitely received more at other places in the past for that price. Regardless, it was still very tasty and left me satisfied!

Came here on a Friday evening for dinner and we were the only ones in the space to start, but as our meal continued, more and more folks filed in. The upstairs seating area they had seemed decently full by the time we left so I'd say it felt lively towards the end of our dinner!This is a meal where you order at the front and pick it up when it's ready. The person at the cashier was kind and friendly with answering our questions about the menu and then our food came out relatively quickly after so it was pretty fast service wise. They have a diverse menu and I enjoyed the types of bowls we could choose from. I will say that I'm a salmon lover personally so it was a little disappointing to see that salmon was only in one of their house bowls, but that's just personal preference.The food had a great presentation when it did come out. Each bowl felt super dense as well and portion wise, it really was quite decent. Given how pricy this bowl was, I'm glad it lived up to the cost. I've gone to their Love Art Sushi location and often feel underwhelmed by the fish portion there - Kokoda definitely felt more satisfying to eat as there was plenty of fish/protein in both bowls. The drinks weren't as exciting as they didn't have the boba jelly they have at LAS, but they were pretty refreshing. You can kind of taste the powder in the matcha one, but I think I preferred that one since the mangoade was pretty sweet. I'll say that if you're looking for poké in the Seaport area, this spot is definitely not too bad. I'm unsure if I'll come back due to the prices, but the service and food itself tasted pretty good. Thanks for a delicious meal, Kokoda!

Great spot for a filling bowl of poke with fresh ingredients! I ordered the salmon bowl, which was only $16--great price for Boston! I loved all the toppings the bowl came with, there was a great mix of savory and creamy and crunchy! The inside of the store is super cute; I loved the snacks offered at the front. There's not a lot of indoor seating, but there are a lot of tables outside.

Kokoda does a great job of integrating authentic poke into their menu that you would find in a local grocery store in Hawaii, which is where I was born and raised. They use the same "build your own bowl" style that is really common in the mainland, but the fish is cut into large cubes (more authentic) and tossed with more traditional sauce options (soy sauce, creamy spicy, etc) before the toppings. You can also get more traditional Hawaiian toppings like furikake, masago, and sweet onion.They also have a "by the pound" menu, which is personally what I'd go back for. It's the best value and the best option if you're going there for the quality of the fish, which was buttery and had a melt in your mouth texture. The only con is that it's Seaport pricing, but that can't be helped.

Wanted to love it because I love poke and it's right near my apartment. However, I paid for premium ingredients (spicy chopped tuna) that weren't in my bowl. They also forgot several other ingredients. Slightly concerning, considering I entered my order on a kiosk, so there wasn't much room for misunderstanding my order. Disappointing.
