Noodles near Lexington, MA

“I was craving Pad Thai and saw great reviews for this new Thai restaurant in Lexington and decided to order takeout. I'm so glad that I tried them because everything was delicious. The place is nice and bright and my order was ready on time. I will definitely order from them again!“

“It was an enjoyable lunch overall. The wait initially between placing an order and the appetizers coming out was a bit long but once the appetizers came out, the rest of the meal came out quickly too, with generous portions. All three of us left VERY full and barely could finish the three noodle soups and two appetizers!“

“I ordered takeout here to try it for the the first time and unfortunately, while walking with the food to a park, broth started spilling onto me through the bag. I opened it to find the deli container was fully cracked on top and I had lost over half the broth. I poured from the bag what I could into the bowl, but everything was greasy and it really dampened the experience. The food itself was phenomenal which is why I'm still giving 4 stars, but I'm really disappointed in losing so much broth due to either cheap or roughly handled deli containers. I have my own deli containers I've been reusing from takeout for months now and have never had one crack like this.“

“TL;DR: Udon place with lots of variety of cold and hot noodles, and so good!Stopped by here for a quick bite for dinner and was very impressed. I had never had cold udon noodles before, and it was great!Interior is cute with some nice decor and plenty of seating. Service was nice, quick, and attentive.FOOD:~Cold Uni Udon (5/5): Cold dish! I love uni and ikura, so this hit the spot. The broth/sauce was a dashi flavor. Mixed it all up and was the perfect balance of umami and salty. The coldness of the dish really ensured the integrity of the udon noodles, and they were so perfectly chewy~Sukiyaki Udon (5/5): Hot dish! Tasted like hot pot! The beef was very tender and had a decent amount of cabbaged that was perfectly braised. I loved this dish.This is definitely a must try!“

“My dining experience at Fuji at Newton was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the moment we walked in, the ambiance set a high expectation with its sleek, modern decor that felt both inviting and upscale. The lighting and music were perfectly set to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both romantic dinners and family gatherings.The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that were spot on. It's rare to find a place where the staff is genuinely enthusiastic about their offerings, and this enthusiasm was infectious!Now, onto the star of the show - the food. Fuji at Newton offers an extensive menu that explores the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine with innovative twists that are both creative and delicious. We started with the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to a delightful crisp on the outside while remaining succulent on the inside. But the real game-changer was the sushi - each piece was a work of art, fresh and flavorful, with the sushi rice seasoned to perfection. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were particularly memorable, each bite bursting with freshness and complex flavors that danced on the palate.“

“absolutely loved this resturant. it is a sister resturant to futago udon right next door and the service is just as wonderful. eating the mazesoba truly is an experience - the combination of the flavors of the runny egg yolk and the umami flavors of the sauce is wonderful. you can also add vinegar to your noodles to change up the taste which I find fantastic. yuzu mazesoba was light, acidic, and refreshing. portion is just right. after you finish your noodles the leftover sauce is eaten with a free scoop of rice. just a wonderful resturant!“

“Miso soup was watery - not a good idea to serve this as a first dish and underperform. Agedashi tofu sauce was too starchy - not what I normally eat. The soba was average, but the yakitori don was good. At this price point, I would not travel specially to try this but might eat it if nearby.“

“This place is amazing! I’ve been here over 20 times and the food is consistently fantastic. Wait staff is so nice and professional. It’s hard to work at a place that typically gets one huge rush a day but they are so great and the food always shines.“

“I was drawn in by the Roast Duck Noodle Soup - when I saw it, I knew that would be dinner for the night! Walking into Boston Soup Dumplings on Friday night, the restaurant was pretty full. The whole interior is made up of tables for seating. You have to order using a QR code, which probably makes the food come out faster. Of course I ordered the soup but I was slightly disappointed. The broth didn't have that much flavor and the duck was mostly bone. To be fair, it did mention on the menu that the broth wasn't spicy. I noted that and added some chili oil which definitely kicked it up a notch. The meat that was on the duck was beautifully seasoned - downright delicious! But there was so little of it, I found myself searching through the bone/skin/fat pieces trying to find more meat. Not sure if it was just my bowl or that's the way its served. Overall, it was a good experience and I know they're known for heir dumplings, so maybe I'll try that next time!“

“My friends and I arrived at Chiharu right when it opened on the weekend, and it was not too busy. There is a small parking lot next to the driving school with designated parking spots for this restaurant, but the space is a bit tight there. There is also only one server, so the service is not exceptionally fast. I ordered sashimi salad, salmon sashimi, scallop sashimi, kiss of fire roll, spider roll, phoenix roll, spicy titanic roll, and torched yellowtail roll. My favorite was the spicy titanic roll, but I also quite enjoyed the phoenix roll and kiss of fire roll. The sashimi slices are a bit thin in the sashimi salad, but I did enjoy the variety of fish and vegetables present. My favorite sashimi was the yellowtail, which tasted quite fresh and delicious. All the seafood in the rolls tasted really fresh and good, including the shrimp tempura. My least favorite was the torched yellowtail roll as I did not taste much yellowtail, and the eel felt lackluster. The scallop sashimi was alright, and the salmon sashimi was on the leaner side. I enjoyed the careful effort put into the presentation of all these sushi. Unfortunately, their other special rolls do not sound as appealing to me, but I would come back again since their sushi tastes fresh!“

“Ramen is absolutely AMAZING!! Very flavor full and filling with lots of options. The place was much smaller than expected and because of the popularity there is usually a line around lunch and dinner time. So it does get pretty crowded but I think it is worth it for the amazing food.Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled the vegetarian dishes. I am not vegetation myself But it seemed they had some good options!“

“Omg soooo good I want to come back and try all the vegan dishes and all the levels of spiciness. Gundruk Soup! Get it!Vegetable Mo Mo! Get it!Can't wait to come back for more. Great food, friendly service. Get ready for a flavor experience you will love.“

“YUM ? first of all, I lived in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a year and this place is pretty authentic. Love that they have northern dishes that a lot of Thai places don’t have on the menu. Loved Gai Yang, Khao khai jiao, and Chiang Mai noodle soup (Khao soi). Delivery is fast and they always include little foreign treats. This is my go to Thai spot :)“

“Ordered the dry hot pot and garlic bok choy. Both were very good and service was good excellent. Mala hot pot could’ve been spicier, but they have chili oil on the side if you’d like to up the spice. Added pulled noodles and they were the perfect texture. Would come back for sure.“

“Found this place via Instagram. The staff are all nice and food was great. Small seating area but when I went in the evening was able to sit. Staff told me there are two other locations which I will have to check out in the future. Will be back !“

“It is hard to beat the offering of this restaurant! They have: good food, affordable prices, relaxed atmosphere and great service!We dinned here twice thus far and will surely return. It is the only place I feel confident to try a new dish without feeling bad about the money (in case I don’t like the dish).At about $50-60 for 2 entrees, one sake and tip, this restaurant is a gem. I don’t remember much from the more expensive restaurants I’ve dinned at (aside from how high the bill was). Because few places elevate cuisine to the level where a $150 bill for 2 people feels like money well spent.So, I am happy we found this restaurant because they got the recipe right: you pay a reasonable price for good food and you get loyal customers!Thank you!“

“My second visit to Mecha Noodle Bar was as enjoyable as the first. Initially, I dined at their Seaport location, which was fantastic. This time, I went with friends to the Brookline branch. It's a tad smaller than the Seaport spot but still spacious enough for groups. We only had to wait about 15 to 20 minutes, which was reasonable. Plus, there's a fantastic bookstore nearby where you can pass the time while waiting!We all opted for ramen, and it didn't disappoint in terms of portion size and satisfaction. I went for the spicy miso ramen, which was bursting with flavor. I always add tamago which is aways a great choice; it complemented the dish perfectly. I highly recommend adding an egg to your noodles!For appetizers, we indulged in dumplings, pork baos, and edamame, and they were all incredibly delicious. The pork belly baos, in particular, stood out; the pork belly was incredibly tender. Overall, Mecha Noodle Bar is an excellent choice for a romantic date or a casual meal with friends.“

“I've ordered from here quite a few times, always the same dish, Cashew Chicken. It's always pretty good, but the dish does seem to vary based on the day. Most recently I got it and there were a few chunks of pineapple in it, the dish was overly sweet with no hint of spice to it what-so-ever. Usually there's a bit of chili flavor and a zing of ginger, but this time it just tasted like soy sauce and pineapple juice, a little disappointing. Always quick service and friendly employees when I pick up takeout.Parking: There's some street parking, but you have to pay for it and they do monitor this street regularly and give tickets if you don't pay.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. Quite a few steps to get into the restaurant.“

“There are a couple of things to get past on your first visit but it's well worth it. Firstly, expect long wait times, as the noodles are boiled freshly in front of you and the bowls are made to order. It's worth the wait. I got the szechuan beef noodle soup and it hit. They have a microwave safe container. I put the leftovers in the fridge and heated it up for dinner. It's the priciest place in the food court but is by far the best. It deserves to be somewhere better. Coming back as we grow into winter and days get colder.Oh yeah, the other thing to get past is that you have to order at Dragon Bowl. Hint: it's the register door next door.“

“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!“

“One of my favorites. Max's take on noodles is unique and different. The Pho Max and Curry Pho are both awesome as is the Kimchi Pho if you like Kim Chi. Max and his wife Shin Wei male the place customer friendly even if it is take out only since 2020.“

“Went here with some friends yesterday. It was a snowy day, and we were looking for a cozy place to get some nice Chinese food. I was recommended this place by a friend, so decided to give it a try.This place has absolutely amazing Chinese food that tastes homemade. we talked to the owner and she makes the food homemade every day, so nothing is stuck in a freezer for days on end. I think this made an incredible difference and how awesome our food tasted. Service and atmosphere felt like you were in somebody’s home being served food as a guest. Very cozy vibe and attentive service. The only thing is that it is a bit small, and I can’t see it seating more than eight people at a time.Highly recommend Wonton noodle soup was amazing along with their scallion pancake wraps. Honestly, you won’t go wrong with anything on their menu.Food - 17/20Service - 9/10Atmosphere - 6/10Total - 32/40“

“This is a hidden gem. They have authentic Szechuan dishes. The dumplings are homemade. You can taste the Quality in it. The fish in Mandarin sauce was amazing. The tuna taco was fresh and crispy. The gray short rib was so tender and favorful. The winter rose was scrumptious. The Dan Dan noodles was so soft and spicy. The fried rice was good. The rice roll in brown sugar was sweet and soft. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Staff was so helpful and nice. Definitely will be back“

“There are not that many good restaurants in this food court anymore with pho viet, Kantin, and the Korean place (I don't remember what it was called but their kimbap was great) however this place still had an AMAZING bahn mi. They only offer the cold cut version but please trust me, it is the same satisfying as a bbq pork without it feeling heavy or overly sweet. Their cold cut banh mi is a great size, generous with the pate, fresh, and the bread is the perfect amount of chewy without it being soggy or too stale and stiff. The owners were very nice and gracious too! A great snack to munch on while your grocery shop or wait for the train. It is genuinely so tasty and feels good for your soul. Don't underestimate the cold cut banh mi !!!!!“

“Decent ramen experience with good appetizers.Recently stopped by for a quick ramen meal. This new Allston location seemed like a less frequented outpost compared to their other locations, so the store was almost empty during my visit.For the appetizers, I got the Takoyaki Volcano and the Chicken karaage. The takoyaki dish bursted with flavors – the spicy mayo and scallions provided a tangy kick, while the fried toppings added a pleasing crunch. On the other hand, karaage was slightly underwhelming. While maintaining a juicy interior, it felt short with its batter not achieving a good level of crispiness.The Shio Ramen, a staple in any ramen joint, was also somewhat lackluster. The toppings were satisfactory, but the broth lacked the depth and richness that I was hoping for.While Hokkaido Santouka’s ramen might not top my list, their appetizers, particularly the Takoyaki Volcano, make it a spot worth visiting.“

“Stumbled upon this cozy Thai spot in Cambridge's Central Square! The interior is super intimate and it was empty when we got there but filled up! Definitely gives mom and pop vibes and I liked that it wasn't crazy inside. For food, we ordered papaya salad, tom yum soup, and khao soi. The papaya salad was fresh but the sauce was a little too acidic. The sauce also ended up gathering on the bottom a little too much but was great to cut through the thick noodle soups. The tom yum soup was super flavorful and I loved the broth. Unfortunately the noodles got soggy really quickly but all the fillings made up for it. It came with dumplings, pork, ground pork, egg, and more! The khao soi was very creamy but also full of flavor. I liked the thickness of the egg noodles but my friend was a little unsettled by the richness of color. If you're looking for a quick, local spot for Thai, this is a great place to go!“

“Best pad see ew ever here!! They truly have the best most authentic Thai food here. I’ve had everything, I especially love their shumaii, gyoza, drunken noodles, pad see ew, pad kee mao. Everything I’ve gotten here is delicious and flavorful. The portions are amazing for the price. I’ve had dinner with friends inside too, it’s really peaceful and calm they are attentive and put the food out quickly. I love this place and couldn’t recommend it more.“

“I went with a group of people on St. Patrick's Day, of all days, in Boston, (the fact that it was St. Patrick's Day was an unfortunate coincidence) but it wasn't too crazy! The food was amazing, the udon bowls were gigantic, and my sushi was so fresh and flavorful! In spite of it being a very busy night, the service was quick, efficient, and friendly! Four stars for the atmosphere because it was pretty loud, but considering the circumstances I'm sure that at other times it is a lot more chill. I want to go back, downstairs there is all-you-can-eat hot pot, it smelled so good!!!Highly, highly recommend this place!“

“Since moving to the area I have come here around once a week and it is easily my favorite restaurant in the Boston Area. Everyone who works here is so sweet, the staff now recognize me and suggest something for me to try every time I come in. Every dish I have tried is incredible and I will definitely continue to come back!“

“Quick service, but they have you use the iPads to order food - which apparently charges $0.99 to order via that specific app. I realized that when I went back to the counter to grab a drink.The house noodle was really good, but slightly salty.Wish they had more on their menu to try though.“

“Fast and delicious. The service at this location has improved dramatically Sind it first opened. Ordering ahead is a game-changer and the online system works well. One Kendall Square (the complex) has become an uncomfortable high-security office park rather than the welcoming environment it once was, so eating at one of the outdoor tables is not especially pleasant. Not Bon Me’s fault - blame Alexandria for that.“

“I've ordered take-out here a few times and it has always been excellent! I recently ordered dinner for my family who unexpectedly dropped in and was able to get a range of meals and quickly as well. If you're not used to spice, their spice is a tad more than usual but I think it is excellent.Dietary restrictions: When asked about gluten for a Celiac family member they were able to let us know what to get and what to avoid very quickly!“

“Food is pretty consistent here. We always get the pork soup dumplings and it's very juicy inside. The filet fish soup with sour cabbage (has vermicelli noodles underneath) is very light and perfect for a cold night. The pork belly was very tender and flavorful. The Kung pao chicken had a nice kick but not too spicy. Dining area closes at 10pm but take out goes until midnight.Staff is friendly and attentive. Food comes out quick, so if you don't want everything too come out at once, then don't order all at once.“

“Only honeygrow location I’ve been to, felt so impelled to write a review. The managers Dean and Cameron we very professional and helped me pick the best noodles for what I was feeling for. Very kind guys. Food was great. Good community and environment to be in. Many blessings to the staff.“

“Food was so traditional and took me straight back to China. Get the rice noodles, and get the cucumber salad, you won’t regret it. Only complaint was the lamb in my noodles was over cooked in my opinion. But that’s a personal preference!“

“Overall disappointing compared to my last visit in August.The batter is light and crispy as I expected and I like the small touch of having the sauce separated out by the chef. But I think the sauce was a little too sour for me.The 짬뽕, on the other hand, was not how it tasted compared to last August. The noodles and the rest of the topping didn't have the soup flavor in them, so they felt like they weren't mixing well together. The soup itself had a nice flavor but didn't have the depth that I had last time I was here.The place seems much more crowded but that may have caused a lower food quality as a result.“
