Noodles in Boston, MA

“This mazesoba was the best meal my family and I had on our short trip to Massachusetts!! The bowls themselves were gorgeous, and the noodles were perfect to match. The decor of the restaurant is also very beautiful and inviting. The vegan mazesoba is amazing, a must try if you’re in the area and looking for a filling meal!“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“We have a new office in Boston. So periodically I drive down from our main office to the Boston location and every time I do, I have resolved to try a new restaurant. This was today’s choice and it was SPECTACULAR! My server was fantastic. The food came out quickly and was insanely good. I didn’t know how big my stir-fried rice cake bowl would be so I ordered the sweet and sour pork loin to go with it. But the rice cake bowl was huge and tasted incredible. Lots of heat, lots of fresh prepared veggies and meat. 10/10 would recommend that dish. The pork tenderloin I tried and 10/10 would recommend it as well. The location is a bit small and that is literally the only nit I can pick. If you’re in this area, get some take out or eat in , you won’t regret it!!“

“The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. Very friendly and quick.“

“I’ve dined in and gotten takeout, and each time it has been a wonderful experience. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious! I love the tofu basil fried rice! It’s a great vegetarian option in the neighborhood. Thanks Noodle Barn!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Yummy food very nice people“

“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!“

“The Allston-Brighton food scene continues to grow and thrive. Just that one tiny strip has Habanero’s, Holdfast, Coreanos, and now Gigantic Wonton, plus many businesses and shops, and Brighton Music Hall. Total powerhouse. The folks who work at Gigantic Wonton are very friendly, and the food is wonderful. Great heat on the Sichuan, soup dumplings were great, and the fried dumplings were light and flavorful. Will definitely return.“

“I really like sukiyaki and mentaiko udon, and I always want to try them out, but the portions at their restaurant are too big. The service is also excellent and very attentive. I've seen someone drop their chopsticks, but before I could even react, the staff had already brought new chopsticks over.“

“I crave this place often. It’s so nice being able to choose whatever veggies, sauces, and other toppings you want. They have tofu and edemame for protein. Just a good spot when you’re craving some noodles and want something with nutrients. Always yummy never had a bad noodle bowl! A go-to lunch or dinner take-out spot!

“Tried this restaurant based on the positive reviews and didn't have high expectations, but found the soup dumplings and noodles surprising good and quite authentic. The soup dumplings had a good amount of liquid inside and the pork was tasty, not dry. The rainbow dumplings all tasted pretty much the same, we couldn't distinguish the different flavors but they tasted very good. The beef noodles had a great flavor and a decent amount of protein and veg. The chili chicken was a bit disappointing however. It was quite dry and wasn't very spicy at all. The chili wontons were very good but again not spicy enough. We enjoyed the jelly dessert, just the right amount of sweetness for after dinner.

The one waiter that was working around 6pm on a Monday night was very efficient. There was some confusion about leaving out peanuts in our dishes but he corrected the problem with the kitchen without hesitation. The restaurant is bright and airy, very clean. Overall, we had a very good dining experience here and will definitely be coming back.“

“I have been a Freshman on the campus of Boston University for only a few weeks. I did not find myself homesick in the slightest and found myself rather content with the food at nearby dining halls. Eating here in this cozy space with such a friendly waitress is such a contrast to packed, noisy dining halls with somewhat, periodically nasty food staffs (at least towards the later hours of the day), and it cured my homesickness I didn't know I had. I highly recommend this restaurant to other undergraduate students like me in need of a nice meal in a comfy space.“

“Pleasantly surprised! The place was actually quite busy on a Friday afternoon. First caveat.. if you do not like lamb do not go here. There was a distinct lamb smell in the air because...lamb is really their specialty! We tried a few things.. beef and lamb, and by far the lamb was better. The noodles were the highlight, great texture and unlimited length! My comment makes it kind of funny that the noodles were harder to eat in my stir fry because it was one big noodle. Funny problem to have. Anyways I'll be back to try more stuff!“

“It was very good! I ordered a level three spicy though, and almost couldn't eat it, beware!“

“Healthy and delicious salads and pasta options, combined with fast service even during the lunch rush, make this one of my favorite spots in the Seaport. The staff is always friendly, and Candy is especially amazing. If you are a regular, she will definitely recognize you and greet you with a warm smile while delivering your food.

There is plenty of indoor seating to enjoy your meal, but during the summer, I highly recommend grabbing your lunch and taking the short two minute walk to the ICA stairs. It is a perfect spot to enjoy your food while overlooking the beautiful Seaport waterfront.“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“The best food I ever had the the shrimp rice was amazing and it’s my first time here! Next time a come here I want to try that kimchi fried rice“

“The food was savory and the service was fantastic and quick!“

“The portion was a little on the small side, but the food was delicious! The noodles were perfectly chewy and had a great texture. They were coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that made every bite really satisfying. Overall, a very tasty bowl of noodles!“

“One of those places you never notice even after passing it a dozen times. Casual noodle spot aimed at the students nearby, but I'd never heard a word about it from friends or colleagues. The dining room was fairly big, yet completely empty when we came in for a quick takeout on a Saturday evening.

The menu was split mostly between noodles and casual Chinese. Not much of it looked convincing, so we skipped the popular stuff and just ordered what we were in the mood for. Most of it was ok at best, but the scallion oil noodles with crispy pork strips were pretty good. The noodles were soaked in a good amount of scallion oil, and the pork strips added a nice textural contrast.

Probably a place I'd have frequented as a student in the neighborhood, but with better casual Chinese and noodle spots in Downtown Boston and Chinatown, I doubt I'll be back.“

“Honestly, I love this place when it first opened! My friend and I became obsessed with the dumplings and literally joked about how we dreamed of them once a month for our shared double date night. Recently, we went back for our monthly date night and the menu has totally changed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very good. But I beg of you to please bring back the dumplings!“

“This is one of my top restaurants during my trip to Boston. Their teas were so refreshing and come with a clay pot on top. As for the toast, it had a golden crispy outside with a gooey condensed milk custard inside. 10/10. The meals were large and filling, and this was the juciest chicken leg.“

“This is the place to go! The food is incredibly authentic, and the service is wonderful. A quick warning, though: the portions are huge and definitely meant for sharing! We ordered two plates for two people and didn't even come close to finishing. The restaurant is small, but the moment you walk in, you just know you're about to get the best Taiwanese food. The chefs are super friendly, too. 10/10! Bonus: the hot tea is free. Pro tip: make sure to order some extra rice!“

“Tried it for the first time today. I really enjoyed the Hot Sour hand pulled noodle soup. I got extra noodles and medium spice. I will definitely be ordering again. The broth was packed with flavor, it all arrived hot and well packed. Give it a try.“

“I was flying out of Boston Logan and needed to find a place to eat. Sadly there weren't a lot of options. But luckily, Gachi had me covered. They have about 6 dishes and each one has meat-free option. I didn't know if the noodles themselves were egg-free, so I went with Yakisoba, which is usually a safe option. My food tasted great. I have no complaints, it fed me well, and allowed me to sit and eat with my non veg friends. The kiosk was located in a food court, so there was plenty of seating for everyone. Bathrooms were also a short walk away.“

“Ordered the 2 meat combo. Decent meal overall. Meats were tender. Rice was prepared well. More expensive than what I’ve paid for something similar in other large cities, but when considering the protein portion sizes and meat quality, still a fair deal“
