Love this place. Fantastic place to sit and eat or take out. I have gone a few times and and food is always fantastic and servers are friendly.

Been here multiple times and it's always fresh and the staff is super friendly. The building is absolutely stunning wide variety on the menu. absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

I've been wanting to stop by this place for a while and finally got a chance today. First off, it's a lot bigger inside than you'd think! It was clean and inviting... I ordered off the menu, the spicy tuna poke over salad. It was very good, great balance of flavor that was neither overpowering nor bland. I thought it was a tiny bit pricy but the portion size (I got the regular) was generous. I'd definitely come back to try other bowls as this was a great first impression.

I love this place. Always fresh and big portions with a lot of options for toppings. It's so good! The ambience is nice inside but mostly do take out.

The space is amazing and there is ample seating. There are exotic plants all around and it is super clean and organized. There is a mini freezer that has frozen mochi and also a retail section for popular Asian treats like pocky and hi-chew candy. The service was fast, the staff was friendly. If raw fish is not your thing, they do have cooked options. We tried the gyudon beef bowl and the spicy tuna poke bowl and both were fantastic. A great post-workout meal. I'm a super fan of healthy, high-protein, low-carb meals and this checks all those boxes and also tastes great. And I love that you can choose how healthy you want to be. They have options for white or brown rice, salad, or 1/2 rice & 1/2 salad, for their bowls. There's no outdoor seating, but if it happens to be a beautiful day, there is a small public seating area near the Starbucks a few doors down.

Gave Big Fin Poké a try on a work from home day and it was delicious! I ordered online which was so easy and it was ready right on time. The food was so fresh and delicious, it was a huge win. I liked the variety of options to choose from including the half and half base option since I find you're either left hungry with only lettuce or stuffed with rice. Portion size was good, leaving me full but not stuffed.

First impression walking into Big Fin is WOW. So cute, aesthetic and spacious. Such a great job with interior design. BUT the showstopper is of course the food, I tried the spicy tuna bowl and it was amazing! The portion sizes were generous and the service overall was great:) can't recommend enough!

This is a great addition to downtown Melrose! I was here for their opening day and this place was super busy! The lines were long but boy it was worth the wait. They have a diverse assortment of snacks, drinks and mochi icecream! Both my friend and I got a build your own regular bowl that comes with two proteins. We got to pick our toppings and sauces. The total came to about $16 and the serving portion was decent. The decor is also pretty, bathrooms are clean and the staff is very friendly! Definitely will be back again.

Long-awaited grab-and-go or dine-in option in downtown Melrose! Delicious poke bowls with a fun, colorful ambience.
