I had a wonderful experience here. We were the only people in the restaurant and our server was very nice and friendly. We both got spicy tofu dishes which were delicious. Will absolutely be coming back!

I got takeout, and it was very incredibly busy, but the food was worth the wait! We tried a lot of different dishes and most of them are pretty solid. I look forward to going back and trying out more items on the menu.

Not your traditional Chinese fare... Although there is plenty to choose from. We had pork and cabbage dumplings which were crazy good and generous - 8 to an order. We also shared beef lo Mein, which was the best I've EVER had. Lastly we had an order of General Gaos chicken. It was hot, crunchy and perfectly cooked. The sauce was a tad too sweet for me, but my companion loved it. There was a nice heat to it without being too much. Again, generous. Two adults ate from it and there was enough to take home!

I love their food! The pork ribs are amazing.Edited 2024. I used to love to go there, dine in and carry out. Their service and food went downhill badly!! Food price went up, ok I understand. But waiting for food for more than 1 hour?! My husband ordered the carryout, went there 20 minutes later, food was not ready. He waited another 50 minutes until food is ready. Bad service!!! How can you ignore your customer like that. We will no longer go there. You just lost a loyal customer.

The bartender was very nice and attentive. She remembered me and my drink order! The miso soup was very good, onions a little strong but great flavor. As far as miso’s go 8/10.I ordered a spicy crab roll and a galaxy roll (no tobiko) to go. The spicy crab roll, (I really wanted to like it and was craving it)… just a tempura crumb roll with a teeny tiny piece of crab. I know it’s $6 but… ?The galaxy roll was good, but I wish they had chopped the cucumber and not put such a solid piece in each one, I thought that was pretty weird.I will say they have fantastic Mai Tais and really amazing General Gao Chicken. That was the best part of the experience, hands down.

Consistently good, authentic food. Welcoming staff. Nice sushi and bar areas. Very spacious. Clean restrooms. Hidden gem!
I feel that need wait for dish for ever! It cost us more than 1 hour to have food to eat, after appetizers! The atmosphere is not good either, very simple.

My wife is from China and says the food here rivals what you can find in Chinatown in Boston. High praise from her with us being big foodies! We come here when we’re too tired to cook at home, or when she wants something she can’t cook and we are always super pleased with the food! You have to try the fried pork ribs in goose egg yolk, everyone we’ve given them to says it’s blown their minds! If you want authentic Chinese food, this place has got it

Prices are outrageously expensive for mediocre meals at best. This lousy place looks like a hangar. Management and waitstaff are extremely unprofessional with bad manners. I do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Most of the reviews and photos are fake. If you look at the authors, they are in some ways associated with the place. In reality, the place is dirty, the food is greasy, and the servers are lunatics. People in my party have gotten food poisoning from the take-outs here.
The food is so salty, the taste is good but that salty is not expected for a Sichuan

Food tasted very plain. The atmosphere feels like a large home depot storage bin. The price is very high. For each dish, they put a very small portion of meat compared to other restaurant while charging the same or higher price. I would not recommend.

Great food at great prices! This restaurant is located in a weird spot, but the food is amazing and is definitely a hidden gem. I've only come here for a quick casual meal, but the vibes can create a more intimate dinner spot if thats what you're looking for. There's never been a wait the three times I've visited (weekday lunch and Friday dinner). Food is also quick to come out.I love the eggplant dish. I typically don't like eggplants, but the seasoning and sauce they have is amazing. Chicken in chili oil is also good. It tastes authentic, though it could use a little more flavor. The dry pot and fried rice were very good, but also very spicy! Definitely recommend a visit if you enjoy spicy Chinese cuisine. I would say the prices here are a lot better than the restaurants in Quincy/Wollaston.

Food was good. Servers were efficient and fast, not very chatty. A woman, perhaps the manager, did come over later to make conversation. She was lovely. She explained that Cubist Circle really specializes in spicy cuisine and invited me to return to try other dishes.My Hot and Sour soup and Cucumber with Garlic were really delicious. Green tea came in a mug with a Bigelow tea bag, as opposed to in a tea pot.Atmosphere is big, lots of space, large rooms, feels like a venue for events not like a regular restaurant. I was quite chilly and the bathroom was cold. I think if it had been crowded at night, the feel would have been quite different.
