This restaurant was amazing! I can't wait to go back. The ambiance is incredible and the food and service matched it! We came a day early for the Christmas pop-up but our amazing waiter still let us try the holiday drinks...which were delicious. I absolutely can not wait to go back.

Food was way too expensive for the portions you received. $90 for poo poo plater that comes with small appetizers. Fried rice dish $26 was in a pineapple shell that took up half the bowl. Dirty and greasy. Not worth the spend.

Hands down my favorite place in Boston. Drinks, food, service, and ambiance is all amazing.

I have been to this spot many times over the years, since its inception. The decor and menu have changed dramatically during that span (I miss the early coconut shrimp). But I am very pleased to say they have settled into a sweet spot now. Both upstairs and downstairs are invitingly decorated, transporting the diner far outside Harvard Square. The food has also reached a wonderful balance between spice and flavor that urges many returns. As for the cocktails? I challenge anyone to find better tiki-themed offerings in the area.

Really festive restaurant with big menu of pan-Asian fare. Loved the bespoke mugs that the cocktails and mocktails came in!
Erica
The drinks are fantastic, the food (vegan pupu platter) is the best vegan Chinese food I've ever had, the music, decorations, and general ambiance are unparalleled. My friends and I had the best time and hope to be back soon!

The cocktails at this place are incredible. I had the pina colada themed one. We had the crab ragoon, noodles, cucumber salad and the pork bao. Everything was so good!
Polly
Absolutely incredible food. Honestly didn't think it was possible to get such good fried dumplings in Boston. And the battered chicken was a revelation. Cocktails were great - it's a tiki bar so be prepared for the funky cups!

This was our first but definitely not the last time dining here. We had heard that the Polynesian ambience was quite unique, and it did live up to the billing. What was even more impressive was the quality of the drinks and dishes. The food menu offered a surprising variety. We had several small plates and several medium plates, and those were more than enough for us. The service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable as well. A thoroughly enjoyable escape from the hustle bustle of Harvard Square!
The decor is fun. The drink glasses were cute and fun. My drink was too sweet for me. The plates are small plates. They recommended you order two per person. I had summer rolls and brussel sprouts with peanuts. It was more than enough food for me with the large drink.

Lovely space; cozy but not cramped. The food was delicious and the cocktails were sublime.

This is a very nice spot with great staff and vibe. Relaxing atmosphere with tasty treats and beverages. I'll definitely return for another in house visit. Take out a few months back was great too.

So fun!!! Menu is crazy different from anywhere else, broad Asian food but very deep interesting flavors and of course amazing drinks and vessels. Love the fried rice w everything, noodles, coconut short ribs, and THAI TEA DESSERT especially. Thank you ❤️❤️
