Had the most epic dining experience last night with old friends. Jay and his staff treated us like family and took the time to help each one of us sitting at the table with our weird dietary restrictions and questions. I personally loved the smoked oysters, miso buttered brussel sprouts, & 5 spice beef sausage was all to die for!! And my entree squid ink pasta with charred octopus in umeboshi was killer, a serious flavor bomb. The cherry on top was how rad it was to come into my homey's restaurant on a Friday night to watch his staff crank out made from scratch, to order dishes and cocktails like a smooth well oiled machine. It really did put a smile on my face! I highly recommend checking Brassica out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Sat at the bar for dinner (always the best place to sit)
Talked to the bartender about the cocktails offered. She made a suggestion and I went with it...a lavender and hybiscus infused vodka cocktail... yum!
We had two appetizers, two mains (fried chicken and a soft shell crab sandwich) and creme brulee..so fresh, clean and amazing. Go asap!
Simply put, Brassica Kitchen is excellent. It is a cozy, inviting neighborhood spot, but for those who don’t live south of Boston, it’s worth the trip.
The service is exceptionally friendly and eager to please. The food is creative and eclectic. It leans slightly Asian but other times it’s French, or Southern, or maybe Italian, or something else. The great wine list is full of unique finds that most people haven’t had a chance to try.
Everything I’ve eaten there has been great but the dishes I most recommend are: fried chicken, risotto, bolognese, anything with green curry, dessert (toffee cake or donut).
Finally, if you want a great cocktail at a local, low price, get a glass from the infinity bottle, a combination of a bunch of different house spirits. At $6 you cannot beat it.
I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the menu. I love meat and seeing so many vegetarian options made me think I was not going to like their offerings. I was fooled! One of the most amazing meals I’ve had in a long time. The pupusa was big and delicious and the cilantro sauce and egg on top were the best compliment. My friend got the chicken and waffles and that was some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend.
This place can get quite busy, so be sure to make a reservation beforehand! The inside has sort of an industrial feel, and the tables are very (almost too) close together. The tables are also quite small, which made it difficult to eat.
I tried the B.K. chicken & waffles and French toast. The portion sizes were good--each plate was big enough to satisfy/fill one person. The waffles were cooked nicely, but the chicken was dry when I went. However, I liked the hot sauce that came with the dish. The French toast was pretty good but not the best that I've had. If I hadn't split the French toast with a friend, it might have been too sweet to finish on my own. However, I still preferred the French toast over the dry B.K. chicken & waffles.
Our waiter was friendly and kind enough to take a polaroid for us. Note that they charge a 20% administrative fee + 3% benefits fee in lieu of traditional gratuity.
If I come back, it would be to try the doughnuts, as I've heard good reviews of those.
Everything is great here, but I thought it was over priced for what you get. Plus there’s a mandatory 23% tip added to the bill.
One thing that wasn’t over priced was the flan dessert. People talk about the donut (which is good), but the flan is better.
I've really enjoyed everything I've eaten here. Ambiance is nice. Backyard vibes for the patio.
Brunch fried rice is bomb. So tasty, excellent flavors, lots of things in there.
Biscuits and gravy with fried chicken was so tasty I couldn't stop eating it.
My friend got the bean and cheese papusa and seemed to enjoy

Booked a dinner reservation for my birthday. Reservations were super easy and even though I showed up slightly late because of transit delays there was still a choice of a bar or table for me. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I tried a number of drinks and they were all excellent. I got the beets, koji risotto and fried chicken and it was plenty for me. All were excellent and I would recommend even the beets which historically haven't been my favorite vegetable. I got tonka bean ice cream for dessert which was an excellent cap to an excellent meal. Certainly one of the top dinners I've had in Boston. 100% will return. The location is also excellent being right next to Forrest Hills.
Wonderful meal and wonderful service! We had a modified version of the tasting menu (modified because I'm pescatarian). Everything was wonderful! The curry cake and hamachi tuna were especially excellent! My husband really enjoyed the duck and maitake mushroom tacos as well. The wine list is also great!
It was a wonderful dining experience. Everything was thoughtfully put together and was delicious. The ceviche was outstanding along. The fried chicken was also very good (get the tiger milk hot sauce)
We had a great experience and will definitely be back . They do add a 20% tax onto the check for the entire staff which I wasn’t mad about at all. If you aren’t tipping 20% anyways you shouldn’t be eating out 🤷🏻♂️
Great restaurant great prices. Wait staff was very kind and polite. We got the chicken and waffles and pupusa for breakfast/brunch. We also made a reservation ahead of time which was a great idea! Hoping to come back again in the future.
If you are looking for a great spot, great people, great service and of course GREAT FOOD that changes frequently but remains AWESOMR, this is the place! The ambiance is small, loud and cozy.
We started with cocktails, “Gray Gardens” and “For the Birds”. M wife loved the Smokey mezcal and I loved my tequila! We then shared *Grilled Yellow Edge Grouper, Koii Risotto, Caramelized Chicken, and pork tacos. The grouper was light and unbelievably delicious. The risotto was creamy and amazing as always. The sauces on the chicken were delightful and last but not least the pork in the tiny tacos was just mouthwatering. We loved them so
much that we got another order. I could eat here every weekend.
