Grainmaker

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now, finally had the chance today. It’s so hard to find decent gluten free options sometimes, this place is a real lifesaver. We tried a bunch of things and our favorite was the Orange line chicken with rice. Will definitely be back to get that again! And the dumplings of course (Just as good as Wangs dumplings I swear- Which are the real deal and if you can eat gluten get over there to get some of the leek dumplings ASAP, you won’t be disappointed. We used to get a bag of frozen dumplings - 50 for $13, not sure if they still sell those ). I love that they have eco-friendly packaging and a deal where you can trade in a glass container. I always really appreciate this when restaurants follow through from start to finish regarding environmental concerns. Looking forward to trying the tacos next time.

This place is usually great service and great food for a good price. But today was terrible. We ordered ahead but still ended up waiting 30 minutes when we arrived. It took 45 minutes from order to getting our food. The guy taking our order was maskless (though the establishment requires mask from customers) and not courteous either. Then we got home and my wife spit out a big chunk of saran wrap that had been in the food. yuck.

This is one of the healthiest, cheapest places I’ve found! I LOVE the crispy tofu, and the amount of vegetables you can pack on is amazing! It’s one of those places you can make as filling (get the brown rice) or light (cauliflower rice) as you want to while still packing a load of flavor. It’s a vegetarian heaven due to the variety of options they have for protein (tofu, veggies, impossible meat) but they could do well to add some chickpeas, seitan, or other non-soy based protein source. Plus, if you’re trying to go zero waste, you can bring your own container or order glass Tupperware directly

Really wanted to like this place as someone who has to be gluten-free. The poke had a stench and was slimy. The other meals are either boring or tasted awful. It’s like they took lots of great, healthy ingredients and made the worst versions of them. I just cannot get behind this place and after giving it a handful of chances, I’m not going back to any locations. Truly a bummer.

I went to the location in Somerville and was very disappointed. After visiting the location in Boston, I was excited to try it again. The Boston location was excellent but this location had overcooked noodles and ingredients just weren't as fresh and it wasn't put together very well. I'd rate the Boston location four stars but this location was just not up to par.

EAT HERE - I have eaten here often for the last year and the service is fantastic and it matches the amazing food, very grateful to have this healthy food option locally! A few favorites: •Dumplings (so delicious) •All of their tacos are so tasty •My go to is a rice bowl with chicken and lots of toppings w/ the ginger miso dressing •I typically order a few sides of veggies from here weekly (bok choi and sweet potato) •They care about their customers so if you have questions or issues they will make it right
