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 👍”

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!”

“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!!”

“very very Nice food Namaste Spice Arlington MA”

“Great smoothies, juices, avocado toast, and bowls.”

“The Chicken Kao Soi is not only a phenomenal soup, deep and flavorful, but one of the best meals I’ve had in a LONG time!!”

“The food was delicious and the service was very good. Restaurant had a cozy and inviting feeling. Drinks were also very good.”

“I got the chicken noodle soup and was perfect for my upset stomach, I got it delivered, it came so fast and the delivery person was so nice! Looking forward to ordering again especially with the cold weather starting”

“Very welcoming, friendly, and hospitable!! Very clean atmosphere!! Love the Lebanese music Everything is homemade and ready to serve FRESH!! Variety of selection is offered in the menu Everything is DELICIOUS and TASTY!!”

“It’s soup weather & Dag’s has the most wonderful chicken noodle soup!!”

“We are ecstatic that Quillos is in East Arlington! The food has the look and taste of a home cooked Mexican meal! We feel nourished by their food.”

“This is clearly the best Indian food in the greater Boston area by a long mile. All the dishes have perfect consistency, are very tasty and aromatic, have fresh ingredients, and have a special savory quality above other Indian restaurants. Also, the chefs will make the food based on your preference of spiciness (and I've actually ordered vindaloo, which is supposed to be spicy, in other local restaurants that was served mild!) no matter what the dish. The selection is larger and more interesting that at any other local restaurant, with a good selection of special dishes, breads, and dosas in addition to all the traditional dishes. There is an amazingly good selection of several draft and bottled beers (for example, Night Shift and Jacks Abby offerings on tap, and Dogfish Head and others in bottles), which is EXTREMELY rare for Indian restaurants, which usually serve the worst quality beers. Finally, the location (Arlington Center, with plenty of on street parking) and inside decor are great, with a modern and stylish interior with comfortable seating. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. So, if you want to have the best experience in Indian dining (even if the dishes are a dollar or two more expensive), make Punjab your destination. I've been to dozens of other local Indian restaurants over the past 37 years and this is by far the best one!”

“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!”

“This place is both so comfortable and so classy at the same time! Service is wonderful, the staff members are so very friendly, and the food is delicious! Ava and Kathy made the evening so enjoyable! This is definitely a place for us to visit again!”

“Food was excellent, we had the mussels pasta, lobster ravioli, and the Nina salad. All were perfectly made and the mussels pasta was exceptional. Highly recommend this restaurant for any interested in tasty Italian cuisine.”

“I know it wasn’t your normal birthday cake but wanted to let you know we loved it 🥰. From ordering the cake, to pick up, this place is amazing. Thank you for working your magic on my special request of lemon & coconut. 🍋🥥”

“Best bakery and cafe around!”

“This is my go to place for donuts. Very fresh and delicious. friendly service as well.”

“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.”

“Is this my new favorite sushi place?
Thin ribbon of rice, really fresh tasting salmon and fish and perfectly ripe avocado. Fun creative menu, including the stellar Sandwich maki. Cute window seating area.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great food at a great price really enjoy it”

“One of my favorite coffee houses in the world; fuses together so many concepts (coffee, dining, co-working, live music/poetry slams, community center, solo seating, round tables, long tables, counter stools) all in a way that just fits and works together. Perfect harmony”

“Some friends and I stayed down the street and stopped for breakfast here twice! I am obsessed with their petite pastries - I had their chocolate croissant which was delicious. Their service was friendly and fast!”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“I just want to thank the wonderful manager who helped me at 6:30 AM last Saturday morning. I had placed an online order the night before, and the online app gave me a confirmation that the order would be ready for pickup the next day. When I showed up in the morning, I was surprised that the order was not prepared, and apparently not even received. When I expressed my disappointment, the manager and her team of two other co-workers quickly assembled a large order (box of joe, dozen donuts, 6 breakfast wraps), giving me the benefit of the doubt that the failure in communication lay with the Dunkin' app which "confirmed" my order. I was very thankful in the moment, and able to arrive to my own place of work on time due to their expeditious effort. It was only later in the morning that I checked my EMAIL and saw that the Dunkin' app had sent a message that the order was not processed since the CC I used had expired. Upon realizing this, I immediately returned to the Dunkin' location at the end of my shift. Of course, since this was 12h later (6:30p.m.), a different crew of young men were staffing the counter. After explaining the morning's situation, I paid the whole balance of my order using a different CC. I asked them to relay my thanks to the morning crew when they had a chance.”

“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”

“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?”

“Chipotle chicken Melt on a wrap”

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

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

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

“Great food. Fast delivery. Always reliable quality.

Make sure you choose to order directly from the restaurant rather than a delivery app. The delivery apps take too big a chunk out of small businesses profits.”

“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!”

“Great and fast service and food. Seating area is just a few 2 person tables and a short counter with stools (enough for 3 people). A bit loud and warm during the morning rush.”

“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!”

“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!!”

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

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

“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”

“Nice location in Arlington center with plenty of (paid) parking in the back and nearby. It has lots of baked goods and sugary treats. They also have seasonal bowls, etc. They have a some sidewalk seating and the inside is bright and appealing. It can get very busy at times so it can be hard to find a seat so plan accordingly but it's definitely worth a visit. Its a nice place to meetup for coffee + with friends.”
