With the fast casual restaurant scene booming in recent years its no surprise that my first good eats boston experience of 2018 is at Grainmaker, a fab fast casual dining spot in Boston. What drew me to the restaurant is their innovative menu with South East Asian influences, which I absolutely love.
The ordering process is like most fast casual spots where you build your bowl. The veggie selection is pretty awesome including delicious string beans, zucchini and my favorite wok fried seasonal greens. I thoroughly enjoyed selecting my garnishes from many choices including a cabbage slaw, fresh cilantro, scallions, pickled veggies and more. Grainmaker also offers some popular street fare like Banh mi sandwiches and street tacos. There is definitely something for everyone.
The restaurant is conveniently located in the Boston’s Downtown crossing area and is steps away from major subway stations. I highly recommend this place for your next lunch stop for excellent food flavors and healthy food choices.
Location: Boston – 91 Summer St., Boston, MA 02110

January 9, 2018 at 1:47 pmI like the build your bowl idea…kind of like how you build your own salads at saladworks. This food looks more filling though. Thank you for the idea if I ever get to visit that area again.

January 9, 2018 at 1:59 pmIt’s interesting how the restaurant combines both South Asian cuisine with the Mexican one. I just came back from Mexico and I know how good the street tacos are. Also, I love Vietnamese food, so I would love to try those banh mi sandwiches.

I love that the veggie selection is so wide including delicious string beans and zucchini cause I just love these!! I generally avoid eating meat but maybe my husband could go for some other choices. But we both love the South East Asian influences!
