Accepted my order from ritual but didn’t make it, closed 2 hours early then refused to refund.

Yay for GF options! Overall, a great experience! Rice noodles disintegrated, but I’m used to that in gluten free dishes. Chicken was delicious, peanut sauce was a tasty but a little thick, needed a little more heat, veggies were AMAZING. Kale/bok choy and broccoli was the best. I had high hopes for the GF dumplings, but they managed to be both crunchy and dry on the outside and mushy on the inside. Thai basil lemonade is awesome! Overall, really fun space, great seating upstairs, and we will remember this place next time we are in Boston! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!

The food was decent and the atmosphere of the place itself was okay. They didn't have some items on the menu (poké, shrimp tacos) which was conveyed to me very unapologetically, but no big deal. My experience wasn't great because the lady taking orders didn't speak English clearly, which is totally fine, but I had to ask her to repeat herself as a result. She directed her frustration towards me and afterwards was quite rude to me while being friendly with the only other customer who spoke Spanish with her. I understand repeating yourself can be frustrating but her anger/frustration directed to me as if asking for clarification on an order was a personal affront is not an acceptable response. The rest of the dining experience was fine and the food was okay, but the service dampened the overall experience and I won't be coming back as a result.

We used to love Grainmaker and have gone multiple times. Lunch this time was very disappointing. Carrots/papaya mix had a rotten smell & taste to them (had to be thrown out), rice was dry, and it was over sauced - the sauce was all I could taste. What a shame :/

This place has gone way down hill. What a shame. Used to be one of my favorites. Also didn’t appreciate how I was treated when ordering. Will not be back.

Originally wanted the spicy tuna burrito but because of a misunderstanding I ended up with the Tuna poke bowl. Y’all…this slapped! The guacamole, tuna and sauce brings so much flavor to the plate I love it. I frequent here for lunch and in regards to flavor they might not go home with the gold medal but they for sure take it home for how healthy and fresh the food is. You feel great after eating. My criticism in regards to flavor; the veggies need a little love that’s all. Shout out to the new kid on staff who put it together, I wish I could remember his name. It was delicious.

Ordered takeout so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere really but I ordered the curry bowl. It was way too spicy, and wasn't labeled on the website. It's good, but I might've considered ordering something else had I known. I think they should indicate that on the menu.
