Restaurants in Arlington

“I just had the hottest meal I’ve ever had. The waiter said “That is very very spicy”…I told him to say “very” three times to warn customers. The meal was AWESOME!!! Thank you 👍”

“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!”

“Best bakery and cafe around!”

“Absolutely my favorite place for sushi when adding together freshness, service, and timeliness. After moving to Massachusetts from Florida, there has barely been any place with real flavor up here. After checking the reviews I saw this place might have some potential for a good price. It’s a small restaurant with a few tables, and the perfect hominess. We wanted to go out somewhere for Valentine’s Day with our baby, not somewhere too crowded considering she’s in her chaotic phase, and we went here. We got a maki party platter for us and a chicken teriyaki for the baby. It’s an adult portion so we decided to have something for her to have lunch and dinner with the next day. The sushi came out and it was so amazing and honestly super fast too. Then came the babies plate, it comes with a miso soup so we were able to get her to try it and she loved that. Then we cut up her food into bite size pieces and as we were preparing it, even though I personally hate chicken, it was SO FLAVORFUL!! We had to keep going back to her plate for tiny bites because it was delicious, the chicken was NOT dry and it felt so clean and refreshing each bite. Then when in regard to the service, WOW the waitress was absolutely the sweetest ever, was so interactive with our baby and attentive to us. Our new regular place for sure.”

“Always amazing food and sandwiches! Eggplant parm is the ONLY one I’ll ever eat! Love the text ahead order feature!”

“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
Tip: get there early, right when they open, and you (hopefully) won’t be waiting in line.

We have offices in Japan, and we have had sushi all over the world, and this was so very very fresh. We took the bus all the way from Cambridge just to eat dinner here.

I had the Hamachi and the scallop and the Toro, all very reasonably priced and all very fresh. Really surprised at the price of the Toro, because it’s more expensive even in North Carolina! Great value for such a fresh fish.

Six dollars for a Sapporo and $11 for a carafe of hot sake was also a great deal.

We also tried the Buta Barra Kaku-ni (which was the Japanese raised pork belly). And it was outstanding! We have a lot of pork belly in the region where we live, and this interpretation of it was so tender. It just melted in your mouth!
We also tried the umaki, which was the egg and the eel combo. It was good, but I don’t think I would get that one again when there are so many other fabulous menu options. But I’m glad I tried it.

Great selection of sake as well.
We will be back when we are in Massachusetts!”

“Such a lovely experience here! The staff is so genuine, and the flavors were so balanced. I think most Americans can handle this taste. The goat meat was also really tender and not too fatty.”

“Best Indian food in Massachusetts!!”

“Great coffee, great pastries, popular local spot that's definitely worth the visit. Every pastry I've tried has been delicious and the coffee has a unique soft flavor.

Only wish the location was a bit bigger. It can get really crowded and there's not a lot seating.”

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

“custom made cake ordered. came out perfectly. my 3 yr old grandson, who believed he would get a rainbow layered cake even though we tried to convince him it wasn't happening was delighted.the cake was delicious, just the perfect amount of sweetness beautifully decorated. I sent the bakery a photo of desired cake interior, it was perfect. she made my grandson's 3rd birthday wonderful for him”

“Ordered shrimp + chicken pad thai and tofu red curry for delivery today. Delivery was quick (earlier than Grubhub's ETA), and the delivery person was very polite and appreciative of our business. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were HUGE. I am picky about my pad thai and was favorably impressed by Thai Moon's. Hope my family and I can go here once restaurants open their doors again.”

“Great food at a great price really enjoy it”

“Great chicken salad. I am also happy that pet dogs are no longer permitted inside. As a dog lover, I understand wanting to bring your family with you everywhere. As a human with dog allergies, I appreciate being able to limit my exposure to animals in indoor spaces. Tough call to make.”

“Fusion Taste has been our go-to local restaurant for asian food. Highly recommended for tasty, fresh cuisine that can be authentic native-to-Asia-levels of spicy upon request with generous portions.”

“Consistently delicious! Their Jamaican Jerk is one of my favorites.”

“This place is great authentic Chinese food! You can tell they take pride in there food! I came up from SC to visit my parents and wanted to try this place because of the great reviews. This is my parents new favorite Chinese place for sure. Thanks, yall!”

“Amazing spot for açaí bowls + smoothies + more. I had the Power açaí bowl with PB. Highly recommend if you like tasty, energizing, fresh real food that will keep you going all day. Great chat with the owner who truly cares about offering an excellent + healthy product to his community.
Exciting to see a healthy and delicious food option for the local students.”

“Love the Town Tavern! The atmosphere is relaxing & comfortable! The staff is knowledgeable & attentive! The food is DELICIOUS! (And the portions are large). Highly recommend this restaurant!!!”

“Hosted a family funeral coalition for 40. The food was great. The menu had something for everyone. Accommodated special requests. Service was excellent. They made event planning very easy on the family and it was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend. Thank you to the whole Menotomy crew.”

“la mejor pizzeria de arlington .. y la atención excelente the best pizzeria in arlington. and excellent service. thank you very much .Gonzales and zanches .”

“Wanted to try their lunch specials. The portions were very large and reasonably priced. You get only white rice and soup with your Entree. Portions are big enough to share. Big choice of classic Chinese food. You would need to order appetizers extra if you want it. Fried rice is on the dinner menu, but lunch is only white rice. Dinner portions are large enough to share. Next time we will order one dinner entree, one order fried rice or lo-mein, and one appetizer about the same price as 2 lunches.”

“We met friends here for lunch on a Saturday. It was quiet and quite peaceful actually. The food was above average and the service was wonderful. The ambience is fun and very Colonial. Highly recommend the pulled pork and the cod cakes. ”

“The food was so yummy. I tried the chicken tandoori and the garlic naan it was so good. Service was really friendly the staff were so polite. The atmosphere was really awesome. I really recommend this restaurant.”

“Great service and spectacular food including great gluten free pizza!”

“Where else can you get a movie ticket, a good craft beer, and a bag of popcorn, for $20? The facilities are good, the staff is friendly, and they have a great selection of movies.”

“I love their pizza! One of my household members is medically-gluten free. Their GF pizza is really terrific. The staff is always courteous and pleasant to work with.”

“Great Cafe, got turkey sub, had lunch with my Aunt Rachel. Food was made Fast .”

“First time yesterday, very kind employees,fast service, wonderful meatball sub, french fries.”

“After a while of having a new job, I decided to treat my family to my childhood pizza place. And despite 10+ years passing, the pizza and fries still have the same amazing taste! The fries in particular are quite crispy and soft on the inside, haven't had ones like those anywhere else.

I also appreciate the wonderful service and people as well. A welcoming and friendly environment, with a few tables outdoors to enjoy your meal. Truly a fantastic place to visit!”

“Chipotle chicken Melt on a wrap”

“I think people that are complaining here are overly privileged and don't appreciate the little things let me tell you why. I'm not saying there feelings don't matter but I am struggling in this state, and can't cook at the moment so to get some "nutrients I ordered a pizza from here that would have garlic, parsley etc and I instantly felt better! The pizzas were so good. As someone who lost a lot of family, I'm not going to bicker about pizza. I thought it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the medium size and it had lots of cheese. We will order from yall again thank you for your service!”

“OMGGGG!! Best smoothies and açaí bowls EVERRRR!! I’ve had these treats all up and down the east coast and this place takes the cake! Sooo good. We got the tropical treat smoothie with turmeric; so fruity and good for you with turmeric. And the build your own with chia pudding, açaí and their own version of Nutella …. OMGGG TO DIE FOR. Located in Arlington center, super clean, beautifully decorated and ample street parking…. You have to give this place a try! Guarantee you’ll love it.”

“Went here for the first time earlier this week and I've gone back twice since. A very cute coffee shop & their rosemary scone with strawberry jam is life changing”

“Great location, pick up was quick and easy! Their bubble tea is awesome and they have an awesome variety of flavors and boba options”

“Really authentic, good fresh and homemade. Price point is fair and quick service. Will return. Cumin handhold noodles, homemade leak and pork dumplings and scallion pancakes. All tummy for the tummy.”

“The soups are to die for. The sushi and sashimi and maki are all excellent. Every appetizer is delicious, the service exceptional, and the food comes quick. A wonderful place to sit down and also to get take out from. I cannot recommend this place enough. My girlfriend and I have loved this place for months and months and will continue to come back as often as we can :D”

“Delicious, delicious moussaka! And a friendly waitress even as you could tell she was busy.”

“we come to Lexington every year for a muster and we eat here every time.”

“We have been ordering from Sono for many years, since they first opened. After a hiatus due to unrelated circumstances, we began ordering from Sono again and wondered why we ever stopped. The sushi is consistently fresh and prices are reasonable, and they outdo the larger name chains in the local area. Highly recommended.”

“Love Arlington Cafe, got delivery , ordered through Amazon Grub Hub, Great pizza with out cheese, garlic bread, Baklava.”

“Closest I've come to tasting authentic Greek food compared to actually being in Greece is here. The food is phenomenal. I'm all about eating quality foods and let me tell you, this is nothing short of top-tier quality. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to keep coming back!”

“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.”

“Best coffee in the whole wide world the services is always great”

“The food is excellent, everything is made in house as far as I can tell. The ban chan is always unique and creative. Obviously their Bibimbap is to die for, but their Korean Grill items keep me coming back. The pork belly is divine!! The owners/chefs are probably the sweetest people I have ever met and treat us like family. What a treat to eat!!”

“This place does not have the best food, what is has is attitude. A great experience. The place is just a simple happy restaurant where you feel at home.

Our waitress and her daughter were just outstanding. The food was served hot and fast.

Just a good time”

“The Dunkin’ Donuts in Arlington is truly exceptional. Aziz and his team are unbelievably kind, efficient, and dedicated—they consistently go above and beyond in everything they do. I used to watch Aziz greet customers by name, always followed by a warm “my friend,” and before I knew it, I became one of them. 🥹

It’s such a special feeling to walk into a place where you can feel the sense of community. The entire staff is tremendous—friendly, professional, and always attentive. I really need to make a point to learn more of their names, because every single person there contributes to the welcoming atmosphere and consistent quality.

Everything at this location is done with care, from how they make your order to how they treat each guest. I’m truly grateful that this is my morning Dunkin’s. Thank you to Aziz and the whole team for setting the standard for what excellent service and kindness look like!”

“An offshoot of the late, great Jose's Mexican restaurant in Cambridge. Many of the selections are the same. We came specifically for the pozole, a chicken and homily corn soup. A large bowl was loaded with big kernels of corn and plenty of chicken. A friend who was born and raised in Mexico said Jose's pozole is top notch. Quality and quantity make for good value. We easily found parking on the street at no cost for 2 hours. Service was fast and friendly. They plan to expand inside and out so seating will increase. They're also getting a liquor license.
We will return!”

“Big Daddy’s Pizza has the best quality pizza in Arlington, hands down! The ingredients are always fresh, the crust is perfectly cooked, and the flavors are unbeatable. On top of that, their delivery is impressively fast. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re seriously missing out!”

“Great place and service. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the customers who make it their " home office" while paying customers can't find a table to sit down. Managers need to find a balance on what's reasonable to please all their customers.”

“We love this place! Always fresh, absolutely delicious. The people working here are amazing - efficient, knowledgeable, super friendly on the phone and in person. What more could you ask for?”

“Sample the best Coffe☕☕☕Very Good place the have A super Good cup of coffe”

“I get food delivered about twice a week. Their Spareribs are the best I’ve ever had. They are thick and juicy. The crab Rangoon is stuffed and so delicious. I wouldn’t order Chinese food anywhere else.❤️”

“Wonderful meal in a spotless restaurant. Separations between tables was very nice!”

“I picked up a food delivery job just before the covid lockdown (great timing since I worked in retail..), and they have to be doing something right as I prob get more orders from them than almost any other place. And they've always got the pick-up/delivery orders running on time and on point! Not a single customer complaint (and their customers tip drivers accordingly, considering were gassing up our cars to deliver to people in the middle of a worldwide viral pandemic). Love doing pickups here! Great staff, clearly awesome menu! While you can't currently dine in, please order take out/delivery/buy gift certificates to help them get thru this!”

“Good food great atmosphere always a lively atmosphere!!”

“My daughter gave it a 💯 out of 5 stars. absolute best service and food we have experienced. begged them to have a location in Chicago”

“Update: they seem to have fixed this!

I wish it didn't consistently smell like chemical cleaners :( I've been there several times and it's always the same story. Now, I end up going to the one in Belmont even though it's less convenient. Store manager -- please fix 🙏”

“I ordered take out so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service quality but I can absolutely say how I haven’t been that incredibly surprised for a very long time. I have ordered from many Asian restaurants and so often the pictures and descriptions look amazing. However, once delivered and eaten, it was all good, but didn’t have the wow factor! I ordered four different dishes from this place and every single one had the wow factor, it was such an explosion of deliciousness in each and every bite! Do yourself a favor and get your Ginger Exchange on, soooooo yummy!”
