“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 ordered takeout and got the salt and pepper wings, lobster rangoons and fire street noodles. The wings and rangoons were 10/10!! The noodles were good but the shrimp was pretty overcooked so would maybe try with a different meat next time.“

“This was the only place we used to eat out when we were students ten years ago. I’m visiting Boston again after a decade and came back here today.
I was amazed to find it still tastes just as good. Thank you for staying the same. I’ll be back on the last day of my trip. All your food is excellent.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“This has to be one of my favorite Asian meals that I have had in quite some time. The food was so authentic and delicious. I had a delicious wonton soup and a combo meal with tasty boneless pork spare ribs and lovely shrimp fried rice. My son had seafood chow mein with crispy noodles. Portions were huge; quality was outstanding and service was fine. Can't wait to come back.“

“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!

“Super cool place! You fill a bowl with whatever soup ingredients you want and pay by weight. You then choose a broth and the meal is cooked for you. The sauce bar is customizable and free with a meal. My friend and I loved the selection of toppings and will definitely be back. There is usually a wait list in the evening and they don’t take reservations ahead of time, so go early and put your number/name in!“

“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.“

“This soup was SO good. The flavor was so well balanced despite appearances. I thought the chili oil might be too much and the regular broth too salty but man was a wrong. It was PERFECT. Fragrant, savory, and the noodle texture was just right. Not too soft but not too hard. Would most DEFINITELY go again.“

“The interior decor is breathe taking. The seating options could be more generous but, the service was quick and waitress had a very polite personality. Food was very well seasoned; multitude varieties of options. Highly recommend the Beef Don.“

“The food here is very delicious! Service is great and they’re super busy, even on a Thursday afternoon.
The congee is so silky and smooth. It was delicious! The steam roll was fabulous that we ordered an extra one to go. Scallion pancake was nice and crispy. The barley lemongrass lemonade was interesting. I wasn’t expecting actual barley to be in there but it was. I only drank the liquid as I’m not a fan of mushy textures. Not sure what I was expecting but had I known it would be chunks of barley I probably would’ve opted for another beverage. The tongue bread is a shape of a tongue, hence the name. It was a dense bread with minimal flavor.
Casual ambiance with modern decor. Seating available for dining in and great food. I would definitely recommend this establishment and return when I’m in the area. Street parking only.“

“Probably the best Chinese restaurant in quincy area if you want a proper meal with veggies, meat and carbs.
They have such a long menu, and everything looks so delicious.
We had the beef roll. The beef itself is served cool and the roll is crispy and hot, very tasty!
The Sichuan spicy fish is very tender and tasty. The spice level is just right for us.
Although I won’t say it’s all taiwanese dishes, I would love to try again next time.“

“Place is super cool inside.
Great for a 2-4 person party.
Historic memorabilia on the walls about the history of the restaurant.
Woman up front was DELIGHTFUL!
The Thai iced coffee was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too much like iced cream.
I’m a spring roll w/peanut sauce fanatic and they passed my test. Their peanut sauce had some kick to it. I’ll be there whenever I’m at Roche Bros.“

“Absolutely delicious! We tried the Jjamppong, Jajangmyeon, Shrimp fried rice, and Tangsuyuk, and everything was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and very well prepared.
As a Korean who grew up eating Korean-Chinese food, I was genuinely impressed. Definitely one of the better Korean-Chinese meals I’ve had in the U.S.
Highly recommended!!!“
“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!“

“Shi Miao Dao is a casual Chinese noodle and hot soup spot located right near Wollaston Station, known for its fast service and customizable rice noodle soups. The space is small, clean, and straightforward, with more of a quick dining setup than a full sit-down experience. It feels designed for efficiency, especially for people grabbing a warm bowl of noodles either before or after commuting in the area.
The menu centers around rice noodle soups and mala-style broths, with a build-your-own approach that lets you choose proteins like beef, lamb, or fish fillets. The mala rice noodle soup stands out for its rich, spicy broth that carries a noticeable heat without overpowering the rest of the bowl. The golden soup and other lighter broths offer a more mellow option, while add-ons like crispy wings or fried pork help round out the meal. The noodles themselves have a fresh, soft texture that pairs well with the soups, making the bowls feel comforting and filling.
Service is quick and efficient, with food often arriving shortly after ordering, which matches the restaurant’s “fast noodle” concept. Most of the preparation is streamlined, so dishes are consistent and arrive without much delay. It’s the kind of place where you’re in and out fairly quickly, especially during off-peak hours.
Seating is limited, and the space can feel a bit tight when it gets busy, so it leans more toward a casual dine-in or takeout spot rather than a place to linger for long meals. Despite that, the environment is clean and organized, and the location near public transit makes it very convenient.
Overall, Shi Miao Dao is a solid choice for flavorful rice noodle soups with bold broths and quick service. It works especially well for a fast, satisfying meal near Wollaston, with enough variety in spice levels and toppings to make repeat visits worthwhile.“

“Lots of appetizer and ramen choices. Popcorn chicken was all tender and juicy. But the yakitori skewers, especially the pork belly, and the chashu in the ramen were a bit dry. Ramen was okay but a bit heavy on the seasoning and not creamy enough. Still a good meal overall. We finished everything.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“
