The gentleman in the register is so sweet and made great suggestions. Such a nice atmosphere. Food taste so fresh, and yummy.
They don’t disappoint!!“

“I love their pad Thai!! Ga grob is my favorite kind. It's a boneless piece of fried chicken sliced up and set on top of the pad Thai noodles. I get the peanut sauce to put over it. Their peanut sauce is also amazing!! Thick and creamy with a spicy kick. Pad Thai noodles delicious and sweet. Always packed up nice and neat. My food is always hot and they make it within 15 minutes. Place is always clean, plenty of parking and customs service is excellent. I would highly recommend that you try this place. You will not be disappointed.“

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“Came early on a Monday, shortly after opening. Greeted promptly, sat immediately, food came out within minutes. Coffee was good, shumai were great, and really enjoyed the broth in the soup. Looking forward to trying some other things in the future!“

“Darling was exceptional this evening! Everything we ordered was amazing. Our server, Sailor was kind, attentive and had great suggestions. The Owner, Chen, was so great to stop by our table. We really enjoyed chatting with him. Just an awesome restaurant from start to finish. Great people, great atmosphere, great food. We will be back!“

“I always order their popcorn chicken and Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup! Love the ambiance of this family owned restaurant. Expect to wait a little bit when you come during weekends because the space isn’t too big and has limited tables. But food is delicious! Absolutely recommended!“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“Thank you Alan and Lotus Xpress for catering my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. Alan, you were wonderful to work with during the planning process- providing options and tending to all the details. The food was AMAZING! Delicious and a great variety. The day of the event, it was such a relief to have you there- catering to our 75 guests. As the host of the party, it gave me great ease knowing you were tending to the buffet and I was able to relax and tend to the guests! The food made the event. Thank you for helping make the event a success!“

“This review is long overdue, but this is a great Thai small business to support. The place is cozy [with seasonal outdoor seating] and the staff is always warm. The Drunken noodles are my go-to and it is a generous portion of noodles AND protein...for the most part. I strongly discourage paying extra for extra protein as I paid $3 for EXTRA protein and received 3 small shrimp. This seems to be a trend as I have ordered DN at two other places and the extra fee was not reflected in the portion delivered. But Mae does deliver consistently outside of this.“

“very good food decent price . will return for more...“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“Love the place, especially Kevin, the bartender. Good service, friendly atmosphere, this is where we celebrate friends birthdays and other celebrations“

“Found this place on Google & Pinterest. So glad we gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was sweet and delicious, we had pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls, hot tea, fried rice and kimchi. It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!“

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“Restaurant is has cozy and chill vibe. Staff is very friendly. The Biang Biang noodles are the star of the show! Super flavorful and great dough texture, taste very homemade. Meat pie is good too, almost as good as in China. The garlic crawfish bursts with flavor, they make it fresh from live crawfish so take a little more time. The pork belly with preserved veggie is way too sweet but meat is super tender so I took it home and ran it through hot water bath twice to get it to be less sweet😅“

“The place was very clean, the staff was very friendly, the food came out very quickly, and it was very delicious. Staff checked up on us frequently and gave us constant attention. Bathrooms were very clean. Regarding other reviews, their was no bugs seen or any pins found in the food, overall 9.5 experience.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. I was craving raw salmon so much and this place gives me the most generous amount of salmon for my bowl🍣🩵🩵 Love the crunchy topping, mango topping, and EVERYTHING. Will come back to dine here again🩷

-Came back and tried the spicy seafood ramen. IT WAS SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend!“

“I loved the beef tataki and spring roll!! I will definitely be going back!“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“never had a bad bite here. Their ramen is killer. Tiny place, but worth waiting for a table!“

“AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE!! The Mongolian Beef is incredible!!!!“

“We’ve been here multiple times, both for takeout and dine-in and the food is always outstanding and fresh. We’ve tried many different things on the menu, both sushi and Chinese food and everything is great. There is no reason to try any other restaurant- we’ve found our go-to place!!“

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

“I think people that are complaining here are overly privileged and don't appreciate the little things let me tell you why. I'm not saying there feelings don't matter but I am struggling in this state, and can't cook at the moment so to get some "nutrients I ordered a pizza from here that would have garlic, parsley etc and I instantly felt better! The pizzas were so good. As someone who lost a lot of family, I'm not going to bicker about pizza. I thought it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the medium size and it had lots of cheese. We will order from yall again thank you for your service!“

“This casual restaurant has good, interesting food at reasonable prices. It specializes in bowls of rice, vegetables, and meat or meatless protein. A variety of different combinations and flavors are offered. Also popular is bubble tea, which comes in various flavors with a choice of standard taro, lychee, or popping boba. You will find this a refreshing change from typical causal eateries.“

“Very fresh ingredients. Grab and go sushi plus freshly made sushi. Crispy, refreshing Moshi sparkling Yuzu. Decent portion for a reasonable price. Friendly and accommodating staff. All utensils neatly provided. Outlets at tables for convenient phone/device charging. Plentiful poke bowls too. 10/10. Go there.“

“Mi Soul is a great miso soup ramen, the pork is esp tender and generous.Ten Yum was solid, very simple(just noodle and shrimp) and was mild/medium spicy.Poke was good, fish was very clean tasting, and a good amount of rice. I only wish they had spicy mayo as an option, more Seaweed or furikake for crispyness, and a little more cabbage to go with the large amount of rice. Great to have the option given the other poke spots are about a mile away.“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Super delicious food and fresh ingredients! It's a small menu, but everything is very well curated. I highly recommend the shrimp taco, cheese rice cake, and the legendary burger. Most importantly, a HUGE shout-out to the manager, Valley—a very nice and warm guy who listens and caters to all your needs. Thank you!“

“the downside is the delivery charges cost $7 so I can't order regularly too expensive“

“Quality, taste, presentation - everything at Mango II is top notch! We don't live close by anymore, but we still make the drive because it's JUST THAT GOOD!“

“I got take out at the Golden Ginger for the first time in years, the service was great and the food was all delicious and freshly made to order. I had stopped going there when I had started eating gluten free food, however, I just realized that they now have great gluten free options including my favorite, General Gau's chicken! Family members who don't eat gluten free loved the hot & sour soup, the spring rolls, the boneless honey ribs, and the beef and broccoli. I am definitely going to be going back to eat there as well as for take out. I highly recommend them!“

“we had 2 sushi rolls and a pi no grigio and a maitai all were greatm fresh sushi and a nice atmosphere. the place is very clean. service was great!“

“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!“

“They never disappoint Food is consistent never a bad meal Food presentation is A+ Staff very professional and very accommodating, making the whole experience even better !“

“Such a great spot! We came here while visiting the area and loved everything we ordered. The food was incredibly fresh, the flavors were amazing, and the service couldn't have been better. Between the amazing food and great hospitality, this was easily our favorite meal of the trip. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.“

“Love this place great food and service“

“food and service are awesome. friendly environment. great atmosphere!“

“The food is the best, excellent portions one dinner is 2 meals! Always accommodating, even create a special dish not on menu! Owner very friendly! I have been going there for years through different owners but this owner and staff are the best!“

“We ordered one chicken soup base and one tomato soup base, and the were both good. The dining space was a bit small, and the walls and floors look somewhat dated tho.

Overall, it's good location and variety choices, and balanced taste Malatang.“

“I wanted some dumplings this late in the evening and I can't complain. It was delicious, you can't beat the price for the portion and amount you receive. I'd have to say for a late night eatery I'd come here again. I had the shumai (Cantonese style) and it was good. Also, I've ordered the beef braised noodles I'd say it's average but what can I say. Portions and taste was solid. I'd recommend it for late eateries for dumplings I haven't tried much of the other options but first time here. I had a good experience!“

“I was impressed with everything! It was my first time trying ramen that didn’t come from my house and after being skeptical for so long I actually loved it! The service was amazing, the food was delicious - I tried the spicy ramen with chicken … and I definitely will be going back soon!!“

“Yesterday was the first time we came to that fine restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had great time with the good service, with the exceptional food and wine and with the comfortable payment. We will surely visit there in a short time.“

“Great newer option in the area - got delivery
. Shengjian bao was juicy and fresh. So often you get dried out filling but not here. Beef chow fun was also a standout - the noodles were great and the beef pieces were big.

Orange chicken was good - actual charred orange peel in it.

Rangoons were triangle shape with a little crimp, which for me has a little too much filling, and seems like they use cilantro in their filling (not a cilantro person). Cooked well, just less my style.

Next time I want to go in person to try the xiao long bao, salt and pepper pork chop and all the other stuff that doesn’t travel as well. The menu looks great.“

“Wide variety of very good food BUT, unless you speak Chinese, ordering by phone or even online is AGONY. They should hire a fluent high school kid.“

“Had a really great experience at Kowloon Restaurant with my mom. I don’t come here often because it’s super fancy, but it was definitely worth it. HUGE PORTIONS. Our waiter Chris (who works Sunday and Monday nights) was amazing: super nice, really funny, and made the whole experience even better. If you get Chris as your server, make sure to tip him well because he absolutely deserves it!“
