Restaurants in Brighton

“Food with something that speaks to your soul”

“Went only once last night so don't want to knock any stars. But, my biggest suggestion is that please include pictures of sake bottles (even just labels) next to the title on your online menu. Right now, it's paragraphs after paragraphs of many many sakes. I got analysis paralysis after a few seconds.”

“We visited Sen Yai Noodles for lunch on a hot day, and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. The restaurant is small, clean, and very inviting, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent—our waiter answered our questions and offered helpful recommendations.
The menu has a good variety of dishes, and I especially appreciated that it included pictures of everything, which made choosing easier. The portions are large. I ordered the Unadon, which came with a complimentary Thai iced tea. The dish was delicious and looked fabulous. The Thai iced tea was refreshing and perfect for the hot day.”

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.”

“Great Food , Good atmosphere”

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“Food is very good! good selection, ingredients are fresh, portion sizes are good. The menu doesn't have a lot of information on each dish, so you do have to ask for some of them, esp if you have a food allergy. There is a little language barrier as well. They presume you will use chop sticks, so you must ask for utensils which are plastic. the plates are paper plates, so it isn't fancy, but the food is good and service is relatively quick.
I had the vegetable Mala soup bowl. My wife had the wonton soup bowl. My mother had eggplant, and dunplings separate plates, with shared rice and scallion pancakes for the table. The Mala soup is quite spicey (Chili oil).
Parking is street parking in downtown area, so if you find the parking, pleasant downtown Brighton to walk through. Portion sizes were large and we took food home. I recommend for casual dining, not quite what I woild call fast food, but the layout and vibe feels that way.”

“Everytime we are in the area, Pino's is our go to. Even if we go out to another restaurant, we get a Pino's Pizza to take home. The best pizza around.”

“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.”

“I usually order the take out food 2-3 times per week when I am craving for spicy food. The food is fresh and they are always busy when I went to pick up my food. It is best to order from the app or call them 30-40 minutes advance.”

“Initially felt extra salty, but it was fish sauce dancing on taste pallet prepping massive wave of all kind of sensation flavor, sweet, salty, right amount of sour, crunch, soul fulfilling depth defying soup, just wonderful amazing south east cuisine you can have near Boston”

“Good for friends get together. Be sure to get there early - no reservations and always a line”

“The best pizza and sandwich’s around delicious 😋 best customer service when you have an issue with door dash thank so much harry for lunch 🥰”

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.”

“The minute you walk in your senses come alive... your sight with just enough lighting, you can see it’s a charming place you can see the smiles on the patrons faces, you can hear the laughter among the co workers with customers and themselves..the smell of the food is exhilarating... the drinks are amazing, my overall experience, well let’s just say I cannot wait to go back with friends an experience it all over again..”

“This place is the absolute best. I come here weekly with friends and could talk about why I love it all day. Highly, highly recommend. Some highlights:
-incredibly friendly staff who make you feel comfortable and at home
-delicious food and beverages, with fun monthly/seasonal specials and excellent vegan friendly options
-impeccable cozy vibes. Just perfect for a relaxing morning
-often bring other friends and visitors here, who all love it too”

“Clean, bright , sunny shop. Polite , efficient staff.Wide variety of snacks (jerky to baklava)Small amount of odd stuff (tiny bottles of herbal tonic ).Standard cold beef, tuna, chicken turkey sandwiches with maybe a veggie option.No ham, but no halal or kosher marks”

“Cloud matcha has become my go-to, not overly sweet and refreshing! The service is immaculate and workers are super friendly, would love to go back at night for drinks”

“Vaisakhi is the breath of fresh air that the restaurant scene in this little corner of Brighton and all of Cleveland Circle needs. Finally a sit down, casual Indian place that's reasonably priced and doesn't require half an hour each way on the T to get to! Even on their first day open, their food is better than several of the Indian restaurants in the Boston area that I've eaten at. Tucked away across from the Sutherland Road T stop, you can follow your nose to the doorstep of the restaurant. The interior tastefully restrained, bright colors and some simple paintings above the booths. The space is small, but not cramped and the booth seating at least was very comfortable. The three gentlemen who own/run the front of the house are eager to please. We were seated right away and given water and menus. The menu is comprehensive without being too large and confusing. The vegetarian, and meat sections are both equally sized, so there's plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. My wife and I started out with the vegetable pakoras. These little fritters of batter and veggies were served hot, with a little bit of salty spice powder and dipping sauces. The crunchy shell pairs nicely with the soft veggies inside and tastes amazing when you put a bit of the red onion chutney on it. For our main course we ordered the saag paneer and the dal makhani, two of our favorite vegetarian dishes in Indian cuisine. The dal makhani was subtle, not overly spiced and not overly rich like many I've had. The lentils weren't rock hard or cooked into mush. The star of the show was definitely the saag paneer though. The saag was so wonderfully rich and smooth and spiced perfectly, and the paneer was the perfect texture, not too soft and mushy and now dry and crumbly. We decided to leave room for some desert and tried both the gulab jamun and the kheer. The kheer was a bit under seasoned for my taste, not enough rose water or cardamom and a bit on this thin side, but it served as a nice palate cleanser. The gulab jamun was excellent, the syrup not too sweet or floral and the balls had a nice subtle flavor to them as well. I'm lucky enough to live right around the corner from Vaisakhi, but I would gladly travel a lot further for this food.”

“Came here with my dad and brother, all three of us love the food we ordered and the staff are super friendly too. Definitely will visit again!”

“Really enjoyed my experience here. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The fried chicken was crispy and well-seasoned, and the pizza was just as good. The staff were friendly and made everything smooth. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe too. Definitely coming back!”

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting”

“High quality of food and service”

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!”

“Best açaí bowl I’ve ever had ! I was craving one after a medical appointment in the area, found this cafe by chance- will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.”

“Wok & talks food is so fresh and delicious! People there are nice and very helpful!”

“Best burritos in the Boston area. Better than Anna's and Boca grande”

“Great beers! They love to specialize in European style beers. I’m a huge fan of their Czech pilsner. It’s a good Biergarten to meet up with friends and grab some drinks.”

“Best breakfast deal you will find anywhere in the city. Simple tasty and extremely affordable. They also offer Vietnamese iced coffee and it's really yummy something not usually found in your standard breakfast/lunch spot. Their corn muffins are so good and big. Never had any issues with my food, I've gotten delivery and pickup. My only wish is that they'd offer a bigger size of the Vietnamese iced coffee because it's so good”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The perfect late-night dessert spot! Great atmosphere, delicious treats, and friendly service. If you’re craving something sweet after hours, this is the place to be.”

“the food was delicious I had a large ham and cheese and my friend had a large meatball sub guys behind the two guys behind the counter were very friendly we had never been there before but we will be returning I rate it five star”

“Great service and drinks and food are amazing lots of tvs for when games start back up”

“Great bang for your buck sushi that tastes great. The 3 rolls deal with cash only is awesome. For this price, you really can’t beat it anywhere else. Highly recommended if you need a quick sushi fix that’s not grocery store sushi.”

“This is my favorite place to study! The food is always so fresh, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is to die for. Lots of outlets as well, and the service is great. Very cozy and intimate.”

“There was a moment where I genuinely spaced out and thought I was just back in a small casual restaurant somewhere in China.
It makes me wonder whether places like this even expect to serve non Chinese speakers. The food is great, the price is reasonable, and more people really should try this type of service and cooking. At the same time, the whole space feels like it runs on its own reality and rhythm. In that sense, writing this entire review in English might not even make sense, because non Chinese speakers reading reviews like this might still choose not to come here. Anyway, this contradiction and the parallel pocket reality are part of the experience itself.”

“I go to Los Amigos about once a week for dinner. Used to come in almost every day for lunch. They are friendly and the food is consistently delicious. Spicy steak and chili verde are both flavorful and actually spicy! Great food for a decent price.
Always worth the trip.”

“Great food and ambience, service was a little slow”

“Really nice coffee shop! Plenty of parking, with a decent amount of space inside, though all the tables were taken on a Saturday morning. But still got my coffee pretty quick and sat outside which was nice. The cappuccino and the pain au chocolat were both very good!”

“5 star pizza I love the subs and the fingers”

“The food is super fresh! I had the “The dirty monkey” smoothie…..the same! Fresh and delicious. Definitely a must try!”

“Nice place, good food and good price but the wait staff should be more friendly.”

“Someone referred me to this restaurant and every time I’ve eaten here the food is delicious.Alfredo, the owner is extremely nice and hospitable They also have an amazing menu with some unusual recipes”

“I ordered a large latte but only about like more than half of the cup was filled. It was kind of a bummer but the coffee was still nice and for a coffee place inside a grocery store it was good. I would still walk a little further to a real coffee shop next time but since it was snowing this did the trick.”

“Franklin’s and Gelianny were amazing! The best customer service. Fixed all previous problems and made my family feel valued. They deserve whatever accolades are given for being valuable employees.”

“We ordered delivery. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Especially loved the cucumber avocado sushi and the vegetable gyoza.”

“Food, drinks & vibes are always above & beyond! Had a newer bartender tonight Andy who was absolutely fantastic & of course Steven & Kara are always great. Definitely recommend!”

“Hands down the BEST SUB EVER! They are so generous with the filling and sauces. Never thought a sub could taste this good! And it's not a One time thing, they are super consistent with their efforts!”

“This is a good Starbucks. Nice staff here. It would be good if there was more sitting space in the upholstered chairs as there are in the corner. But they only have so much space.”

“We enjoyed the tea very much when we sampled it at today’s YMCA Oaktoberfest 5K. The kids loved the bubbles at the bottom. The kids like their promotional fans too.”

“Good all you can eat sushi restaurant. The rice to fish ratio isn’t as good as normal restaurants, so I do recommend going for dinner and getting sashimi, and just adding the amount of rice you want.

The restaurant now takes orders on tablets, which leads to more accurate orders.

They usually accommodate allergies well. They had gluten free soy sauce, though I do not think they are a gluten free establishment.

Street parking is parallel and can be hard to find. You may have to drive a few roads down to park, and walk back to the restaurant.”
