Restaurants in Allston

“Wow what a resteraunt. Lamb meatloaf was delicious, oysters were thick, and the mushroom perogi was scrumptious. The cool cucumber mixed drink was delicious. Just wish I was there for weenie Wednesday”

“One of the best full-service restaurants in Boston!”

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)”

“I really appreciate a food court out here in Brighton/Allston, especially one with local shops and a variety of cuisines. Signage is helpful and I appreciate how many of the businesses are using digital tools like ordering tablets to help bridge language gaps.The building has seen better days but the tables are always clean; it offers a lot of options for seating, both large tables for groups and quiet side tables for eating alone. I would like if there were temporary signs on the vacant locations just saying that they're closed & looking for new occupants, because they just look abandoned right now.”

“Another wonderful family lunch today! Thank you Chris and the Carlo’s Cucina family. My second visit in three weeks. We’ll definitely be back! My new favorite dining spot on my visits to Allston, from the Cape. 👍🍽️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark N.”

“Food was great. All 3 of my kids were happy with their food and they didn't eat grilled cheeses”

“Subat was very friendly over the phone and got us excited for Valentines Day dinner tomorrow! He is very knowledgeable and now we feel prepared for a wonderful evening :)”

“A Flavorful and Fun Experience!
This hot pot restaurant is absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant and lively atmosphere set the perfect mood for a fun dining experience.

The ingredients are so fresh, and the variety is incredible—there’s truly something for everyone. The broth options were packed with flavor, and customizing my own combination of ingredients made the meal even more enjoyable.

The staff was friendly and helpful, always checking in and making sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear they care about creating a memorable experience for their guests.

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a delicious, interactive meal with friends or family, this is it! I left feeling happy, full, and excited to come back again soon.”

“Garlic noodles!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“For spicy lovers, Gamjatang and Shrimp Papaya Salad are recommended! Must try!!!”

“Delicious authentic food, very friendly staff. Def worth it!”

“Probably the best crust I've ever gotten on a pizza in Boston. Really good pizza at a very good price ($6 for essentially two specialty slices. Cheese slices are cheaper)”

“The food is delicious, the service is very good, and half-price dishes are available from Monday to Thursday, and the environment is clean. There are separate toilets for men and women, with disposable toilet paper and a nice smell. It is a clean and tidy Northeastern restaurant with homely taste.”

“Pleasant employees! Wonderful good was really great!!”

“I go there almost every week because if the amazing food and service. I would definitely recommend the L.A 갈비 ( LA Galbee.) If you are in vacation to Boston, it’s a must go.

Kid-friendliness: Every kid would love this!!!”

“LOVE these mochi donuts. They have a location in Chinatown + Quincy as well. They’re always so soft, pillowy, chewy, and warm. My favorites are matcha, coffee, honeydew (wouldn’t think this would be good as a donut flavor but oh contraire, it IS), ube, and fruity pebbles.”

“Great for mala (dry) and for other shareable plates. Their large dish can definitely be split between 3 or so people. Would highly recommend recommend if you’re in the area and craving something spicy. Parking is of course very difficult to find, but not unusual for the area.”

“Generous portions for cheap! They give a lot of rice which fills you up, but a decent portion of main dish (I got pork and tofu). The main dishes are a bit oily, but they taste very good. The pork had a decent amount of lean meat as well as fatty, which is good. I wish the tofu had a little more taste, but it was still good. Food came very quickly. The soup it came with was too salty though, tasted like salt water. Everything here was around $12 which is a good deal! Recommend for a quick but filling meal.”

“I don't often leave reviews, but the sashimi is soft and delicious, the price is good, and the portions are plentiful!! The owner is so kind and the service is great ~ I'm so glad there is a raw fish restaurant like this in Boston... I highly recommend it!!”

“I bought a bulgogi kimbap and a spicy pork kimbap to go today. Both were delicious and came with a small side of salad. I had eaten here before and would recommend getting a combo of the kimbap, tteokbokki, and fishcake soup so you can try a bit of everything. The fishcake soup here is good and a great way to warm up during the cold weather.”

“I had a wonderful dine in experience at Laughing Monk in Boston! The food was incredibly good truly authentic Thai! The menu was special and exciting with so many tempting options. The taste was so wonderful, I felt like I was eating in Bangkok. We drove 1.5 hours to get here, and it was absolutely worth it! I can't wait to return!”

“Love Hopewell, my fiancé and I come here once a month, maybe even more than that. The food and drinks are excellent — if slightly more focus on cocktails than beers, fwiw. A little pricy (what isn’t nowadays) BUT they have a nice weekly (Thursday?) chicken sandwich special if you’re cost-conscious. Only detracting mark: beware the appetizers that use the cute little cast irons, I have a hunch (I.e., 2x time food poisoning last fall) that someone might accidentally be using grandma’s classic “wipe down” method instead of typical restaurant grade sanitization on their CI😅 But otherwise this place slaps so still 5-starred🤷‍♀️”

“Great experience this afternoon. Sat outside and the service was great. The food was delicious! We had a flat bread and two pita wrapped sandwiches. The freshly made pita bread is delicious! Looking forward to going back!”

“is the best ever ice crem a had in my life”

“I think their chicken wings really taste like McDonald’s spicy chicken wings in China! ! ! ! There is nothing like Korean fried chicken in Boston, but every time you want to eat domestic taste, this is the fried chicken! And that chicken fillet roll really tastes like the old Beijing chicken roll ”

“Simple Chinese Take Out. Conjure in your head above local take out joint. Better than Panda Express, or another chain. But still the kind of thing you're looking to pick up on your way home because you're tired & don't want to cook. Not for an extra special occasion.

Food is very good, knows what it is & fits in that niche. Highly recommend grabbing.”

“It’s a great place to enjoy hotpot! They have a variety of meat, veggie, little dim sums, and sauces! It would be great if adding sesame sauces as an option, that’s my favorite sauce!! Overall, it’s great!!”

“We went there for lunch and had the gyoza and their signature flavor Shio ramen and the Kara miso(spicy). They were really good. Both broth were very rich in flavors and just the right thickness in consistency for the broth to and noodles.”

“I have had the experience to taste the food and customer service of the venue,while I was in Boston travelling from Australia. Food was delicious and butter chicken and mango lassi was yum.
Kudos to the owner and restaurant staff.”

“I ordered the Beef Noodle Soup. Very generous portions, good prices, and delicious broth. Minus one star only because the beef was a bit dry, I would have preferred a slightly fattier cut if possible. Other than that, absolutely delicious and would definitely come again. Photo of menu attached taken on 6/29/24.”

“Great beef & noodle Pho Salad 😋”

“A gem of a Korean restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, generous portions with fresh ingredients. The food is ready in a very short time. Also great for take out when you don't want to cook. Perillas has become my husband's go to and favorite meal. We are very grateful for such high quality food in our neighborhood.”

“Honestly my favorite pizza I’ve had in Boston. I’m looking forward to trying other menu items soon.

Charlie is extremely nice and greets everyone and recognizes returning customers and asks how your day is going etc.

Overall, great food and great people. One of the only places I could rate 5/5 in every part of the field. I had been going to inbound(4/5) but I enjoy this place more, I think it may be the dough I prefer/sauce.”

“Excellent service and flavor, one of the yummiest poke bowls Ive ever had. Very convenient for pick up or in store dining, would recommend. Kind people most of all”

“Let there be…space! Most dunks in Brighton or any Bostonian neighbor/suburb are unable to fit my left leg never mind my hyperactive children! This dunks was a little different and allows space to breathe! Imagine that, people aren’t breathing directly on your donut or breakfast sandwich! Plus it was clean and the staff were all they need to be. While it’s nice to have that overly nice cashier at times, there are other times that you just want your damn coffee! Lol”

“The service is really good. They had option of hot sweetened soy milk as complimentary drinks, which goes well with the spicy dishes.

The sweet duck was crispy on the skin, the lotus roots and celtuce are fresh and delicious.

Would recommend reserve in advance, as it gets quite busy during the weekend.”

“This store has the best service! Staffs are super friendly and professional. Visit several times and was amazed by their quickness and kindness every time. Highly recommend. :)”

“The food was really good, and the service as well,
I like that it wasn't busy .
But i it was really expensive. After I compared the prices of Lazuri turkish cafe . Which is basically a few steps away”

“The soup dumplings, that is, the mini juicy buns with pork, are a religious experience. These are the standard by which I measure all other soup dumplings and all have fallen short. When I eat these things I see the face of god. They would be part of my death row meal. The sauce they’re served with, though tasty, is utterly superfluous. The divine flavor of the soup and pork filling of the dumplings is so good I don’t even touch the sauce.

The restaurant itself is unassuming and it’s usually honestly rather chilly in there, but I don’t even care because those mini juicy buns have me in a stranglehold and they deserve to be eaten at their peak freshness, in the restaurant, rather than jostled around and cooled down by delivery.

It’s worth noting that their other food is also great, particularly the other dumplings and the fried rice, which is that lighter kind of fried rice whose superior flavor is almost sorcery in my book. But seriously. The mini juicy buns with pork.”

“We have been ordering beans from Wolf and the gang for a couple of months now. the coffee is amazing and the customer service is top-notch - no matter how many times my wife picks the wrong delivery schedule! She suggested I write that.”

“Friendly service, good food, and good atmosphere. This is about the peak version of Starbucks. Unfortunately, its still a bit pricey, but, in fairness, you'd expect that walking into a Starbucks.”

“if you want 2 see real action live only at that Dunkin u will”

“Lugar muito aconchegante e uma delícia de café e bolos e salgados. Recomendo para todos nossos compatriotas. Parabéns a todos 🙏👋🙏”
