“The food at this place is delicious, and they offer items which a lot of other nearby restaurants do not. I have gotten take out and eaten there, and I have enjoyed both experiences. If I had to choose one thing that I disliked about this restaurant, it would be that I wish more of their delivery options could be made without sugar/palm sugar.“
“It was an enjoyable lunch overall. The wait initially between placing an order and the appetizers coming out was a bit long but once the appetizers came out, the rest of the meal came out quickly too, with generous portions. All three of us left VERY full and barely could finish the three noodle soups and two appetizers!“
“This place is a TRUE family operation! When they say it is Grandma's kitchen - Grandma is actually the one making your meal in the kitchen! We had the pleasure of meeting Grandma, Andy and Lynn (her family and front of house). The food was amazing and truly authentic Taiwanese fare. After our meal, grandma came out of the kitchen to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Meeting her and her family, sharing stories of Taiwan together, was truly the highlight of our evening! Thank you so much for a great memory.PLEASE support Grandma's Kitchen and keep honest, wholesome businesses like this thriving!“
“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 “
“My dining experience at Fuji at Newton was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the moment we walked in, the ambiance set a high expectation with its sleek, modern decor that felt both inviting and upscale. The lighting and music were perfectly set to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both romantic dinners and family gatherings.The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that were spot on. It's rare to find a place where the staff is genuinely enthusiastic about their offerings, and this enthusiasm was infectious!Now, onto the star of the show - the food. Fuji at Newton offers an extensive menu that explores the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine with innovative twists that are both creative and delicious. We started with the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to a delightful crisp on the outside while remaining succulent on the inside. But the real game-changer was the sushi - each piece was a work of art, fresh and flavorful, with the sushi rice seasoned to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were particularly memorable, each bite bursting with freshness and complex flavors that danced on the palate.“
“This place is amazing! I’ve been here over 20 times and the food is consistently fantastic. Wait staff is so nice and professional. It’s hard to work at a place that typically gets one huge rush a day but they are so great and the food always shines.“
“This is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The fatty blue fin tuna is like wagyu of tuna (see picture). This type of cut is very rare.The place is not very big, with about 30 seats, so if it’s busy you may need to wait to be seated. Luckily the service is very fast and on-point. The chef (itamae) is super friendly and can create a-la-carte rolls.Super Fusion Sushi is now my favorite sushi place in the Boston area. Two thumbs up!!“
“Loved it here! Such a cute unassuming place near downtown Dedham. So many menu options. We had the roti bread appetizer and shumai which were both delicious. The bread was crispy and chewy like a scallion pancake and came with a delicious chicken curry on the side. I ordered the beef ball noodle soup which kind of resembled pho. Delicious and huge portions for every dish. My friend wanted khao soi which she found under a different name on the menu. I believe it was called curry noodle soup. Service was prompt and not overbearing. Thai iced tea was delicious. I would certainly come back again.“
“This is my go to coffee/tea shop. The atmosphere is always comfortable, welcoming and chill. I love getting the brewed tea lattes, I recommend trying the Paris blend! The staff is extremely nice and super helpful. You can also order food, I really liked the 3 cheese gyudon, 10/10 will be getting it all the time. They have great portions for both drinks and food. The price is appropriate with the quality and portions.“
“Found this place via Instagram. The staff are all nice and food was great. Small seating area but when I went in the evening was able to sit. Staff told me there are two other locations which I will have to check out in the future. Will be back !“
“Our favorite family restaurant. Everything is delicious and atmosphere is lovely. Everyone is really nice and friendly. Our family and friends love it and we’ve been going there for more than 10 years whether we eat at a regular table or in a tatami, we always enjoy the meal and the “
“Tried take out this week from this spot: Sauteed Chicken W Long Horn Pepper In Scallion Pancake Roll - highly recommend Mini Juicy Buns W Pork(6) - very tasty Mala Spicy Beef - good - a lot of beef, prepare. Overall, very tasty items all around. I liked the mini pork buns and the scallion pancake rolls the most, but all probably worth a try based on experience with what I had.“
“Little Big Diner serves up a symphony of flavors in their spicy tan tan ramen. By swapping chili ground pork for the decadent chashu pork, akin to pork belly, they’ve elevated the dish to a celestial level. The cloudy, flavorful broth dances on your taste buds, while the melt-in-your-mouth pork and perfectly balanced noodles complete the gastronomic masterpiece. For a taste of the best ramen Boston has to offer, Little Big Diner is a must-visit culinary oasis.“

“I think that this restaurant is phenomenal. I went with a friend who had frequented the restaurant in the past. She raved about the food and how at night it shifts into a great dancing, music, eating venue. I found, the service to be very engaging, warm and friendly. The food was savory and perfectly prepared. I highly recommend Orchid 7 Fusion Bar & Grill.“
“After Plaster Funtime with the kids, I was searching for somewhere easy to eat with my kiddos but wanted to expose them to something they hadn't had before and that I loved. Pho!!! ?28 Bistro has a low key vibe, great music in the background, and the owner who works the register and tables(at least that Sunday) was delightful.The food was absolutely delicious! I had to order an 18yo, a 14yo, and a 7 yo. 29 Bistro didn't disappoint.Apps: Seaweed Salad, Short Ribs, and CalamariEntree options: Beef Pho, 2 x Seafood Pho, and Duck Pho (these aren't the names of the dishes, but the main ingredients within).My kids were loving the flavor, enjoying every moment of the experience, and had a bunch left over for lunch the next day despite being super full.I enjoyed it all. The Dutch Pho was absolutely amazing and while I over did it a bit in the apps, flavorwise, it was all amazing.Oh, we capped it off with various flavors of boaba tea!You've gotta check out 29 Bistro. I'll sure be back!!“
“Norwood's Best kept secret. You will not find better thai food ANYWHERE in New England. Monica and her staff make the most delicious and authentic thai food around. It is ALWAYS SUPER FRESH. So tasty. Reasonably priced. My personal fav is the Chicken Basil - and they will make it as spicy or not spicy at all. Just ask. My husband is a HUGE fan of the pad thai. It really does not matter what you order. It is all fantastic. You will be SO HAPPY if you give this a try. Best food ever. Been going here since it opened.“
“Finally tried dining in at Phu-Ket after only having it via takeout after all these years. It's small from the outside, but cute and intimate on inside: quiet, more tables than I expected and clean, so I was blown away. I came here for dinner with my dad, and we got the Pork Tenderloin with Sticky Rice appetizer, Spicy Duck Fried Rice, and Seafood Pad Thai. All delicious and a great portion for the price. The price for all the items was about $40-$50, which is very reasonable. And with the takeout rice I got, that was still under $70. The service was a bit slow to start, but there were a lot of tables and takeout orders the whole night. So it's definitely popular, and I can see why. Even had a lovely chat with hostess and chefs after. I'll definitely be back! Bring your appetite and be willing to try new things!“
“New Ginza is a true polished diamond, I have experienced few favorite-worthy restaurants like it.Menu items are delicious, from Chinese American and Japanese (gyoza, shumai) to the real gem dishes: the sushi. All of it. Everything is super clean and fresh, always, and beautifully done, with smoothly delivered service from every server.Go. Here.“
“I recently tried Coconut Thai Wellesley and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, the ambiance was amazing, and they had a huge variety of dishes to choose from. The flavors in every dish were outstanding, and the cozy atmosphere made the dining experience even better. The staff was friendly and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Coconut Thai Wellesley for a great meal out. Definitely 5 stars!“
“What can I say… we drive to this place from Cambridge and the service is just at the top! Those girl’s waiters are just fantastic. Efficient, kind and very very fast! The food is just amazing. They cook everything in a minutes. They truly respect your time and everything you ask for is right there with a smile and welcoming faces! Great family place! We love this place a lot!“
“Awesome local place. Consistently quick takeout. Or come sit at the bar for a drink and a Rangoon and a good time. One of the only lively places in Arlington ??♀️ They often have live music, and will let ya put whatever you want on the tv!“
“After so many years, today is unexpectedly my first time here. The taste of this place is great, the portions are generous, and the service is top-notch. The dry-fried green beans, pork elbow, and loofah are all good choices. However, the sweet and sour mandarin fish is too sweet for my taste. For parking, you can try Pine St or Cresent St, but don't count on finding a spot on Moody St.“
“Sushi is great and very well priced. Eating in or take out is great. Fish is always awesome and the prices and deals can't be beat. The workers are always amazing to work with if something is incorrect and they make sure to make it right. I always order “
“Amazing!!! My wife is Thai and we were transported back to Thailand! The pad Thai was flavourful, the chicken wings were crispy and juicy, the crab Rangoon’s were the best I’ve ever come across - perfectly crispy yet gooey in the center. My wife enjoys the spicy salad and you cannot go wrong with egg rolls or any of the other Thai favourites. Would highly recommend!! Thank you for many great meals!“
“I have always had great consistent food here. Small modern, casual Chinese and Japanese restaurant. Staff is always very friendly and you get service with a smile. I always start with their Hot and Sour Soup! They use a thick old school recipe that hits you with complex flavors, plenty of fillers like wood ear mushrooms, golden needle, pork and all the good stuff. It finishes with a strong kick that will clear your sinuses. Their Spareribs on the Bone are some of the best around. Definitely one of my favorites. Their Shrimp with Lobster Sauce has a delicious flavor to it. It has a little sweetness complemented with black beans. They switched to the smaller shrimp. I actually like this because you get one in every bite. Like a famous chocolate chip cookie. The shrimp are cooked perfectly are not rubbery at all. Love this dish! Wings are crispy and juicy! Beef Teriyaki is delicious! The Egg Rolls have a really nice flavor. The ingredients could be chopped a little finer. Their sushi is delicious! Today my daughter had a Sushi Taco! Very yummy! There's also conveniently an ice cream shop right next door if you have any room left. Highly recommend eating here!“
“I was here for lunch with a friend and we had quite a bit of catching up to do. We never felt rushed at any point. We finally ordered and the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The lunch boat was incredible and almost too much for me! Everyone here is super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!“
“The BEST lunch buffet place in the Boston area for South Asian food! Amazing Nepali/Indian dishes for the very reasonable price of $18. If you live in Boston , you know that's a great deal.They have garlic naan, dal tadka, palak paneer, navaratan korma, chicken tikka, and even Nepali dishes like momo, goat curry, rayo ko saag, kukhura ko masu, and chai/chiya. The quality of all the dishess, service team and the aesthetics of the place are all 10/10.“
“Really glad we found this place! Their food is very tasty! Their pricing is excellent compared to other places. Though they don’t have the crispy chicken pad thai, their regular pad thai hits the spot! It’s not too dry or greasy! We also love the triangle puffs! It’s our to go thai food now around the area!“
“Big fan right from the start! Prompt delivery, food always arrives hot, and the flavors are great. I also love that I can order a regular size on rices and other dishes so I don't have excessive amounts of leftovers if I'm ordering for just 2 people. Finally my search to replace the Lotus Blossom is over. Love it here!“
“They have sweet rice drinks and yogurt/fruit flavored drinks. Although, they don't offer boba, they go for a more traditional and less sweet taste. The sour yogurt brings me back home to the taste of the yogurt I used to have back in Beijing. I wish Yomie's was more centralized in Allston with the other businesses, but glad they are in Boston nevertheless.“
“The pop corn chicken is amazing. We got a small but it was more than enough for 2 ppl to share. The gochujang sauce that comes with the bowls is more on the sweeter side than spicy so if you have a low spice tolerance I think you can handle it.Parking: Meters are $0.25 per 30 minutes.“
“This small Vietnamese restaurant mostly serves other people, not Vietnamese, because not many Vietnamese people live nearby. However, I will give a ? to the tasty Viet food compared to many other Viet restaurants that don't have many Viet customers. Oh, please try the Vietnamese coffee. You won't be “
“I am a big fan of this location, especially for a quick and easy lunch! I enjoy the variety of options that Poke Garden has to offer, and it is really fun to make new bowls all the time! I especially love the shrimp tempura and salmon bowls, and they are always sure to give generous portions! The workers are very kind and quick to serve you at the counter. Little pricey but worth it for the poke bowls!“
“Amazing sushi. I’ve been going here for years and the quality is always top-notch. It does get very busy, but when it isn’t the atmosphere is calm. The fish tank is pretty cool. The construction of the maki rolls is always great, and to be honest it all tastes amazing. I would recommend the maki named after the surrounding towns, for example the Wellesley roll. The other food is good too - the tempura and beef bibimbap are delicious. Best sushi around.“
“Gen sushi is our go-to neighborhood sushi joint. They provide high quality sushi with notably larger pieces of fish than competing restaurants in the area. We particularly enjoy the way they prepare nigiri! They have friendly and welcoming staff and we appreciate their early opening time of 4 PM.“
“I had to come back and update my review -- Shine's has changed, and I think it's great. I hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but a few months ago my family decided to give it another try, and we've been back regularly ever since. The menu is almost completely different from what it was back in 2017: they are focused on authentic dishes, and doing it very well. I wish I'd come back sooner! The menu contains a lot of choices that aren't typical, but are very tasty. We particularly like the Rougamo sandwiches (listed on the menu as "burgers", but that's not exactly how I would describe them) and the "pancakes" (more like stuffed crepes, sort of), particularly the shredded potato pancakes. The soups are also excellent and unusual. And there are still areas of the menu we haven't explored at all. (I have no idea what "Toofy" is... guess I'll have to try it.) My only (minor) complaint is that you order at a kiosk (or online, for take-out) so you can't ask the waiter/waitress for any info/recommendations.“
“Stopping by for a quick mid day dine. First- Lychee Martini was wonderful. Second- steamed Thai chicken peanut dumplings. They were sure tasty, just a bit of a tough chew for some. The meat and toasted peanut was a little over cooked. I don't mind that so much. I like my meat really done. The ginger sauce is yummy. Third- takoyaki app. Perfect bites of tempura balls filled with octopus. The top of mayo and bonito flakes made me get a real smoke gun flavor. Loved it!“
“First time there and I loved my meal. I got the Bibimbap with veggies and beef, cooked egg on top, hubby got the same but with tofu. They arrived in cool stone bowls that not just kept it warm, but kept cooking the rice at the bottom! Genius. A lot of very delicious food, and the crispy rice at the bottom was great! Service was great too.“
“Got a takeout order and was really impressed! The mojo ramen broth was extremely flavorful and the chashu pork was tender and delicious. The noodles were also quite good even though I got a delivery and so they couldn't serve the noodles in the broth, I had to add it myself after reheating it. Worth the price and I'd recommend it to anyone nearby, even to be delivered!“
“It was very quiet when I visited, I had been out and needed to get food and was craving Chinese food. I have many allergies, and they were very caring about what I ordered. Food was tasty and pentiful. Price was about average. Service was good.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my allergies.“
“It was my first time here. Such a great experience! The restaurant was prepared for our large party. The service was excellent. Our food came out in a timely manner, and more importantly, everything was hot and fresh. My beef bibimbop in the hot stone bowl was yummy, fresh, and tender. Highly recommend. We'll be back to try other dishes for sure.“
“I've been to plenty of Japanese restaurants, so my expectations are very high. This place exceeded them and more! Great lunch combination options and flavorful miso, but the real star here is an extensive list of unique signature sushi rolls -- including options I've never even seen at any other sushi place. They have pictures of these specialties, as well as extensive descriptions, and our server did a good job of providing further explanations and recommendations. We had an unbelievably delicious lunch, and seriously considered coming back for dinner! The location is a little bit difficult to get to, but that's a small price to pay for such a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!“
“What a fantastic little sushi spot. I've lived all over Cambridge, Brookline and the South End and no sushi spot can compare to this one. Joe, the owner, is super friendly. Sushi is REALLY good here, fresh and delicious. Most of the bad reviews here are for non-sushi items. If you stick to the sushi, this place is a gem. They are also amazing about allergies. Highly recommend!“
“Taste, quality, presentation and service are excellent. Love their large menu. I've had their traditional Chinese appetizers. Pickled and hot pot rice noodles are excellent taste and portion. Claypot rice noodles are packed with great flavor.“
“I love the Cure Burger there! Great fries too. The cure burger has sautéed onions and tater tots on it and topped with bacon and a fried egg. The Caesar salad is very good. The grilled cheese and tomato soup are a delicious combination, My favorite.“
“The menu is great if you’re vegetarian or gluten sensitive/celiac. Menu shows which dishes are or aren’t safe and even shows spice levels. Food was amazing and staff was very nice. Plenty of parking around tooDietary restrictions: Menu labels which items are vegetarian and which are gluten free.“
“We had a lovely dinner. Excellent service- pleasant and efficient. Kept water glasses filled and paced our meal nicely. We got the Bo Bo Appetizer platter- lots of variety and all hot and delicious! The house fried rice was excellent- perfectly seasoned with lots of veggies and meats. Happly family was chock full of shrimp, steak, chicken and veggies in a delicious sauce. The sizzling seafood platter was beautifully presented with fresh scallops, shrimp, lobster and vegetables. The dining room was cozy with tables well spaced and lovely decor. Drinks and tea were great too! Yummy chocolate fortune cookies to end the meal!Parking: Easy parking right in front of the restaurant.“
“I ordered some rolls for my son while waiting for his appointment to finish. The woman whom I spoke with when picking up the order was lovely. It's a well located restaurant in downtown Needham. My son loved his rolls! We will definitely go for dine in service in future.“
