“Really good. Hadn't been in years. Food was tasty and fresh. Best pork fried rice. Bobo platter fro two really really good. Great pad thai. Duck sauce is so good. Drinks are a little pricey but I dont know nany places yhat arent these days. Also, the chocolate fortune cookies are so good!“
“Very nice decor atmosphere...dress casual vibe. Good food ....spring rolls were too chewy inside ...maybe rushed on NYE. Poo poo platter plentifully but food got cold quickly. Shrimp fried rice some of the best I ve had. Prompt service but dotting over us a bit too much ...maybe waiter wanted to turn over table at NYE but I felt rushed at times. Very attentive otherwise.“
“The food is amazing. The wait to get a table can be extremely long, but you can order take out without having to wait. The place is tiny and a bit crowded so I think it’s great for getting a light meal but not ideal for conversations over meal.“
“"This is not a ramen shop, it is a dream shop." Despite only one menu item - pork ramen (as of 3/24/24, modifications may be accomodated) - I was pleasantly surprised by how good the ramen was. The ramen is has thick chewy noodles with big pieces of pork. The broth is fatty with a few globs of flat floating. Per request, it can be topped with a healthy serving of garlic. The ramen was a tad bit salty, but I managed to finish the broth. The only downside is that it is relatively more expensive than other restaurants ($17 for two pieces of pork, $20 for 5 pieces). The portions are large enough to satisfy your hunger, I promise! At one point, the chef paused plating the food to share his background and inspiration for starting the "Dream shop". I will keep that information confidential for those who wish to visit and hear it from him directly. It inspired me to take the next step in my own life. Enjoy!Things to know:1) Expect to wait in line outside the shop for approx 10-15 mins at best. Seating was accommodated in intervals of 3-5 people when I went. This is indicative of how good the food is, but be prepared during the winter months;2) There is only one menu item (as of my visit on 3/24/24), pork ramen, where you can choose from 2 pieces or 5 pieces of pork (choose the latter) - this takes away from the headache of choosing from a list of items;3) Expect seating to feel a little more intimate - the seats are in rows of 3, with approx 6 chairs per row, facing the chef;4) Expect to be asked if you would like to share a "dream" - this can be something that you wish to accomplish or do within your lifetime, or the year. After your meal, the restaurant will have a moment of silence for you to share your dream with everyone.5) Utensils are self-service - be sure to grab yourself a cup of water, chop sticks, napkins, or whatever you need in the back of the shop after you have placed your order and are seated.“
“This was one of the BEST omakase experiences I have ever had. The attention to detail was extraordinary. I ate at several two and three star Michelin restaurants last summer in France and I was happier with my dining experience at Umami. The quality of ingredients is absolutely stellar and it is truly a treat for all the senses. Go!!“
“This was an amazing Omasake experience in Lexington. Chef Mike prepares all of the sushi fresh in front of you. He is committed to pushing himself to create unique and different flavors. Definitely the best omakese we've had in the Boston area. Could not recommend more if you want great food with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere.“
“Miso soup was watery - not a good idea to serve this as a first dish and underperform. Agedashi tofu sauce was too starchy - not what I normally eat. The soba was average, but the yakitori don was good. At this price point, I would not travel specially to try this but might eat it if nearby.“
“Absolutely delightful dining experience at this charming restaurant, expertly managed by a warm and seasoned Japanese couple. The cuisine surpassed expectations with its impeccable balance of flavors, devoid of excessive saltiness. Each dish exuded authenticity, from the tantalizing aroma to the rich, genuine flavors. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit and wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.“
“Such a good quaint gem. The broth was perfect - it was so good that we came back for other dishes. The Cha Sui Don was the best I’ve had in a long time! Service was with a smile and efficiency. How good was the food? It was the so good you ate too fast and but your inner cheek type! Shall be back.“
“As hibachi / teppanyaki restaurants go, this is primo. The sushi was superb too.Parking: It's not super obvious from the street, look for the sign. The door is where it looks like, take the elevator to the second floor for the restaurant.“
“Quite simply excellent Asian cuisine. They aren't kidding when they say that your name and face are remembered. One of the waitresses, Sharon, is one fine example of that. She remembers our preferences from visit to visit plus she is friendly and accommodating. Do you enjoy sushi? They have great, fresh sushi just waiting for you to sample! Check this place out. You won't be disappointed!“
“J and J is my families new spot for Asain tasty treats. Jean is a fantastic owner. She makes you feel like family from the time you enter the establishment. Sushi was fresh and delicious. They even made a special chicken tempura roll for my wife and added it to their POS ordering system for future visits. We call it the Elisabet roll named after my wife of course. My kids smashed every morsel of food on their plates which is especially rare for my picky 6 year old daughter who just loved her fried rice and Salmon. Kids meals are adult size so it's a great value . I had two Scorpion ? Bowls which got me feeling pretty lively. I imagine moving forward we will be doning weekly at J & J . Jean and staff thanks for the wonderful time.Blessings,Phillips Family“
“Best Don Katsu (pork cutlet) place I've ever been in Boston! So warm and crispy, with delicious sauce, hearty portion, and quick serving. Price is budget-friendly (considering that it's Boston) relative to the huge pork cutlet, salad, miso soup, and rice that all comes in one. Great for hungry students who need heartwarming meal. :) The server lady was nice and friendly, and the restaurant is small, but they also have tables outside. Uber eats delivery and lunch specials are available as well, so would definitely recommend to others as well as try it again myself next time.“
“OK but like this is where you can get Omakasa without paying $200 and wait for a month for it!!I absolutely love the Omakasa here because it came with Uni, miso soup, rice, seaweed for handmade maki, various salt flavoring, and everything was super fresh. It was 79$ for my portion and I love it. So worth it!“
“My boyfriend and I just went here and split a few sushi rolls and the chicken Kara age. All of the food was really delicious, might be the best kara age I’ve ever had, and their lunch menu pricing is really reasonable. Our waitress was really nice and all the food came out quickly.“
“The vibe here is great, we love to go down Friday or Sunday night and sit at the bar. Always busy, get there by five if you want a seat. Tom makes the best drinks, martinis are fabulous, and he makes a mean Manhattan. Tap beer is ice-cold, salt and jalapeño pepper wings, and the maki are our favorites.“
“This is a definite 'must visit' restaurant! The atmosphere is beautiful- it's sleek, stylish and modern. But, the food is the real reason to eat here. Amazing! Flavorful! Well presented! And so fresh! Just straight up yummy! It does get pretty busy so there were times we were waiting for our server. I'd say it was worth the wait though.“
“Stopped by for the first time after work today to grab dinner. Definitely one of my new favorites. I got the omakase set and there were no frills or gimmicks, it was just fresh and delicious fish. I wanted to get just one ikura order as an extra, but was informed that I needed to order at least two pieces of the same sushi, so i opted not to, but when my plate came out, they added it anyways! The food was so good that I forgot to bring it up and thank them... hope they see this! ごちそうさまでした!“
“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“
“They ALWAYS do such a great job with the quality, quantity and presentation of their food. Not to mention, their customer service is always top notch! We had a Christmas party and they kindly arranged the sushi on two big platters for us and also made sure the Uber Eats driver knew to be careful with our order because the sushi could easily move around inside the platters before it reached our house. I’ve never had a bad experience or meal from here. A regular customer for life!“
“If you haven’t eaten here you certainly should, it’s a hidden gem with the best dumplings I have ever tasted. The lady who owns and runs it is a fantastic personality and a joy to see for every short occasion. I would have posted a photo to show how perfectly crisp they are but I ate them before I thought to post and ate them far too quickly. The homemade dumpling sauce is such a compliment. Highly recommend going out of your way to make it here for the times it’s open you wouldn’t regret it.“
“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“
“I can not say enough how much I love Sushi Corner . There food is absolutely amazing. I have tried a number of things there and its always delicious and fresh! The individuals that work there are so nice and so helpful on recommendations. The tall man that works the front, love him! He is so extremely nice. I highly recommend this place if you want delicious, fresh, amazing food.“
“The first time I ordered from here, I didn't like it because I ordered 2 bowls and they had diff portion size and all the toppings weren't there. However, I gave them another chance and since then, this is my go to poke place! Large portions now and the ingredients are fresh.There are chairs and table inside and outside if you want to eat there.“
“This is literally the best Chinese food restaurant in Massachusetts. Food is 5/5 - both Chinese & Sushi. Service is 5/5, Drinks are 5/5. The only negative is that it's so popular you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait!“
“Nice little restaurant/bar off rt1 my son brought me here and I have to say I was amazed at how good the food was and at night they do karaoke ? where you can sing right from your seat it was so much fun I would Definitely Recommend checking it out with your friends for a fun night out uou won't be disappointed we had a blast and the food and service was great really friendly and good people. I will definitely be returning.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“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!“
“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 “
“Tried it while in the area based on Yelp reviews. Got the springs rolls and pan fried dumplings as appetizers. The spring rolls were okay not great. The pan fried dumplings were really good. for entrees we got the Vegetarian Delight, the Basil Chicken with eggplant in Garlic sauce, and Chicken in black bean sauce. The vegetables in the Delight were excellent, the sauce was one of those sort of Chinese American white sauces that I am not really a fan of but was still decent. The Basil chicken dish was quite tasty, really good sauce and the eggplant was really, really good. The chicken in black bean was a simple but excellent dish. The serving dishes might have seemed cool in concept but perhaps had a flaw in actual use because they seemed to have a tendency to easily overflow due to design that has weakness on either end. Simple order at the counter and they bring to your table in the small dining room. Seems to be primarily a take out place but the dining room was clean and the service to the table good. They checked in on us. Bathroom was nice and clean.“
“We love it here. The food is so authentic and spicy. It takes your tastebuds to a whole new place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It’s truly a gem here, and the authentic nature here makes you appreciate their culture. Also, the Mai Tai is wonderful and the price is reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. The restaurant is huge, and we only had to wait once on Chinese New Year. We get the Spicy Jumbo Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Picked Radish and the Smoked Pork with green pepper. You must give this place a try if you keep an open mind, and truly want authentic cuisine. It’s simply the best! Thank you.“
“Peter and wife April! Plus Baylin (I know spelling wrong) The only other host with the most there! we have been coming here for over six years. My son who is just turning 10 always request for Moontown. The rules! The soups! Not to mention the generosity of free spritzer drinks, and the fact that it feels like I'm walking into family members house when I show up or even call. I've never been sick here !!!!! and I absolutely love their food. ???❤️???“
“Very nice atmosphere. Service okay but need to ask twice as a reminder. They walk away from the keno machine too often and you miss your game. All the food I ordered was delicious except fried calamari. Looked terrible and smelled fishy. Don't let that sway you from enjoying this resturant. Very nice place and friendly staff.“
“Just ordered luncheons Sushi fresh and delicious with a generous amount of sushi, miso soup and a salad. Also got luncheon with chow Mein came with wonton soup and crab Rangoon. Veggies were crunchy and light, fried rice was fresh. Good value and considerately packaged. Very fresh. Highly recommend this place.“
“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’ve ordered from this place numerous times, take outs & Grubhub, and food was GREAT every single time. I’ve tried other places for ramen/udon but none like this, the broth is delicious & savory. Orders are always well packaged with good quality. The owner is very nice & sweet as well. Give this place a try!P.S. Their Takoyaki is a MUST TRY btw!“
“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“
“Food was great for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Definitely don’t expect high-end sushi at AYCE restaurants. They have steaks on the menu, which is a huge plus. The steaks aren’t bad at all. Sushi rice-to-fish ratio is reasonable. Service from the waitresses was ok but the dude from the reception was a little rude and gave side eyes to customers so that took a star off. Maybe he was the owner or something, he obviously didn’t care enough.“
“I had the hot and sour soup it was excellent and very fast delivery to the table I also ordered a 16 piece chef sushi sampler that was also excellent and pretty quick. I had more than enough to eat for the price and the amount of sushi they got me. I would highly recommend this place.“
“I am a regular here because of how delicious this place is, to the fresh fish to the ingredients you can taste the amazing quality! The people who work there are so sweet and kind and the atmosphere is calm and not loud, come to try it and you will never get oki poki anywhere else.“
“The food was very good! Tasty and fresh! The hot and sour soup is apparently the best my roommate has had in years. This is more a carry out type establishment even though there are multiple tables. We happened to eat in. Service was fast and very welcoming. Paper and styrofoam plates, plastic cups, and utensils. When ordering for pick up, this is THE place to go. Not so much for a dining-in experience. We will be ordering from here!“
“Wonderful staff! Our chef was entertaining and skillful. Food was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is fun and friendly.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free meal was prepared separately in the kitchen and brought out when everyone else was being served. Thank you!“
“Great food, great service!! If you like Japanese grilled meats, this is definitely a place to go. They are on a pricier side but once you taste the food, you will get it. Must try for Assembly Row area. Also, their Miso soup maybe one of the better one I’ve tasted around here.“
“Deena wings , Black Label maki, and filet mignon tips will blow your mind! Great atmosphere! Great service! Sometimes you wanna go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name“
“JASON, JUST FINISHED THE CREATIVE SALMON GINGER DISH. SALMON WAS PERFECTLY COOKED, THE VEGTABLES WERE STEAMED TO PERFECTION...THANK YOUPS.LARGE PORTION OF THE SALMON (TY) WILL BE ADORNED ON TOAST WITH CREAM CHEESE AND THINLY SLICED RED ONION IN THE MORNING...WILL BE SENDING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PRAYER HANDS TO HEART. KMW“
“Very happy with this place. Had multiple sushi dishes, all excellent. Lo mein is also great. Hot and sour soup is the best in Andover. Draft beer is a bit pricey, though ($9 for a Sam Adams Cold Snap) and the Kung Pao has waaaaaaay too much celery. Service is top notch and the interior is friendly and inviting. Lots of TVs if you want to watch a game. Prices are reasonable for downtown Andover“
“I have never had any issues regarding service or food at pacific grove the food is delicious and staff and very friendly. The only reason I do not give 5 stars is due to the fact that on a couple of occasions, the other patrons can get a little too rowdy for my taste, and some have even got confrontational. However, this again isn't due to lack of service from the establishment, but due to lack of judgment from other patrons on how much they can drink.“
“Picked up from this place for dinner and it was alright. We also drive by this place every week but never really noticed it until today and decided to give it a try since we're in a sushi mood. We got sushi duh and they're ok, no complaints except for the spicy scallop makis (they tasted a lil odd). We gave this place a 4/5 because 1. their spicy chicken wings aint spicy, it's saucey and sweet and we didn't know how to feel. 2. the spicy avocado salad which I was excited for, had more cucumbers than anything else (I was craving imitation crabmeat:( ) and yea it's a place that doesn't really focus on serving sushi & just Japanese cuisine. They also offer Chinese and Thai and Pan Asian dishes so next time, when we're in the mood for solidly sushi, we'd try another place.“
“Surprised we haven't been coming for years. It is so good that we are now almost once a week visitors. Appetizers are uniformly delicious. The sushi is well prepared and delicious. Noodles get good reviews by my family. Service is attractive but discrete. We recommend this place without reservations.“
“The new Lynnfield location is within walking distance of my office. The food is great. Everything I’ve tried from the menu has been delicious. My favorite (so far) is the Hunan chicken. Spicy without being too hot, and loaded with crunchy vegetables and generous slices of chicken. The counter staff is very friendly and the prices are good. Will absolutely be returning over and over.“
“The absolute BEST place for steamed dumplings! We pick up a couple of packs maybe 2 times per week. They are perfectly steamed, tender pork, ground well with seasoning and the wrapping is not super thick. You will never be disappointed. And the dumpling sauce is not too salty and has a bit of sweetness to it. We love them!!“
