“The BEST Chinese restaurant in the area.such great value for delicious and authentic Chinese food. The servers are the sweetest and nicest. Great atmosphere and always high attention to detail. All your classic Chinese dishes. The dumplings are AMAZING - juicy and flavorful - made with handmade dumpling skins. The beef noodle soup (niu rou mian) is delicious as well - very well balanced! My go-to Chinese restaurant spot!“
“Feel like something's changed in the past year or so. The food doesn't seem as cared for and has lost some of it's charm. not sure if just a bad day or if the chef has changed but other way feeling a little sad. still tasty but not the WOW it was “
“When Sumiao first opened in 2017 I got violently sick from how spicy the food was (I have no spice tolerance). I'm happy to report back that there's more non spicy and even less spicy options. A bit expensive, which is typical for the area, but the portions are kinda decently sized enough.There's a lot of dishes that are spicy and you can get no spicy, and some where the lowest they can go is medium spicy. Those were still good but I could only eat a few bites. Similarly, there are some dishes you can ask for vegetarian, the the vegetable dishes or the fried rice.Went with one coworker who couldn't eat seafood, one couldn't eat meat or seafood, and one who was allergic to peanuts. We got a couple of vegetarian options (rice, noodles, one veggie dish that had the option of no meat). When the food came out, they were all labeled with little flags saying "vegetarian" and "allergy". Except the allergies flags were a little inconsistent because one was in a dish without peanuts and one was in a dish made with peanut sauce. I think we would have benefitted from an explanation about the flags because the friend allergic to peanuts was the one who first ate the dish with the peanut sauce, thinking that it meant it was ok. We should have known by reading the menu but it was a bit confusing.Vegetarian options: Limited“
“Steamed dumplings were great. I don't think they believed me when I said I wanted my food very spicy; I guess if you want spice here you need to really try hard to convince them you know what you're talking about.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor restaurant; no steps between parking lot and door.“
“Silk Road has become our family's go-to spot whenever we're craving something special. We've lost count of the number of times we've dined here, but every visit feels like a new adventure.We have tried almost everything on the menu and it never disappoints. And guess what? Our kids are totally into it too! Sure, some dishes can pack a bit of heat, but just give the server a heads up.The place is limited in space and they do not take reservations so sometimes it feels like a bit of a squeeze. But hey, that's part of the charm, right? Just be prepared for a bit of a tight squeeze, especially if you're rolling in with a big crew.Overall, Silk Road gets a big thumbs up from us. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Uyghur food or just looking for a fun family outing, this place won't disappoint.“
“One of the best Hot pot Buffet all you can eat meat, seafood, salmon unlimited veggies, hot food entree, egg rolls, stir fried Udon, sesame rolls and ice cream. Great place to host a business catering event and cocktail or birthday party. My daughter, turn 18 and she loves the server name Johnston, very professional, cleanliness and friendly service. I highly recommend this place with out a doubt. Worth your money spent and food is yummy!“
“Food great and big serving. The crispy duck not oily and very tender. Huge menu. They serve wine and Asian beers.Our server very attentive and courteous.Very tight seating and we are seated an inch away from the entrance which can get too congested.Overall experience was good. Definitely coming back.“
“The inside of the restaurant is nice and welcoming. The staff are very friendly as well! I’ve ordered takeout from here 4 times now and honestly it’s become my exclusive go to and somewhere I consistently recommend to others.The food tastes just like the Chinese food I had as a kid in Europe that was fresh, authentic, and simply delicious. The egg fried rice (ask for no soy sauce), the volcano chicken, and the chicken in black bean sauce are no brainers (as in delicious and generous portions). The peking ravioli (only had steamed) is one of the better ones I’ve had in the Boston area too! Service is fast as well. Tasty, authentic, great portion size and service - what more can you ask for?“
“Cilantros is a great Chinese restaurant! You should definitely come here for lunch! The portions are a little bit on the smaller side, but the service is really good and the food taste really good. I highly recommend the shrimp with coconut sauce. The seating area is nice, but it doesn’t look anything to fancy. It’s just a good Chinese restaurant with good food, pretty casual.“
“I’ve been coming here for years and think it is consistently excellent. If you want chicken wings and pupu platters, head to the Kowloon. Nothing wrong with that. Come here for dumplings and somewhat more authentic dishes. Oh and the Mai tais are killer!“
“We went for old-fashioned American Chinese food, but were happily surprised by more authentic dishes.I'd recommend ordering off the first page of the menu (house specials). Everyone we met -- from the lady at the front door, the man who may have been the owner, and the very sweet waitress/chef -- was super sweet.Quiet dining room, but we definitely felt welcomed.“
“A nice place with good Malaysian/singaporean.Dishes we ordered - hainanese chicken rice, char quey teow, chicken satay, poh piah, roti canaiDishes we absolutely loved - poh piah, roti canai, chicken satay, char quey teowThe chicken rice was good but the rice wasn’t as chicken flavored as I would have liked. It was 4/5 though!“
“Found this gem on Open Table. Traveling through the area and saw all the great comments on the cocktails. The service was awesome. Food was great. Restaurant is so unique almost like Savannah meets The Orient. A must stop if you are going to Cambridge. Zombie and Mai Tais perfect.“
