“This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and the popcorn chicken is the GOAT. The chicken cutlet was fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were surprisingly good too. The owner makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you excited to come back and bring friends along!”
“Very nice place.nice atmosphere and awasome food.
Chef know what is doing. All the ingredient are a taste of italy , high quality.
We will be back !”
“This is one of those places you don’t want to review because you want to keep it your own little secret. This is by far my favorite Mexican food in North America and I lived in San Francisco for 20+ years. Wonderful family-operated business and the food is perfect.”

“DELICIOUS FOOD. Very different food fair with choices for all diets. Excellent, friendly service. Good cocktails. I’ll be back !”
“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.”

“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!”

“Enjoyed our impromptu dinner with girl gang of 7.
Freshly prepared food with authentic flavors.
The place was beautiful and had lovely vibes.
The portions were super huge . We ordered multiple dishes to try all flavors and were super impressed. Definitely recommend of you are in the area. There was a fried fish appetizer Sichuan style that was a clear winner 🏆. Free parking lot was added bonus”
“We had a lunch with my coworkers and the food was absolutely amazing , everything was delicious, I had Fruti Di Mare and it was to die for. Our server Alexia was lovely , she made sure we were taken care of, always checking in on us !
Great atmosphere I would definitely be coming back”
“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.”
“As someone with celiac, finding a safe place to eat out can be stressful—but Pizza Market makes it completely worry-free! The owners are incredibly knowledgeable because their daughter has celiac, so I always feel confident eating here. My go-to orders are the steak and cheese calzone or the broccoli pizza, and everything is delicious and safe. I eat here twice a week and would highly recommend Pizza Market to anyone with a gluten allergy or intolerance! So delicious and fresh always!!!”
“I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ We actually came here to the Four points Sheraton hotel because my husband has doctors appointments nearby. The reason for the five stars is first the ambience of the restaurant was on point and comfortable not to pretentious . We were met by the hostess and she said we could sit wherever we wanted as it was a Monday evening (early ) We started with a Guinness for my husband and I wanted a red wine . The waitress recommended a wine that was very popular Valentines evening and I wanted a Malbec . She brought me a sampler of both and then decided to go with a Cabernet on the menu and thanked her for her recommendation. We started out with the wings that were cooked to perfection along with a mesquite bbq sauce . My husband and I both ordered the Bishop Burgers . He ordered it medium well with Swiss cheese and regular fries and I ordered mine medium with Cheddar and their specialty Rosemary fries which were heavenly . This restaurant is part of the restaurant but separate. It’s a well known restaurant in the neighboring city where all walks of life go to . Jeff the owner also came by to say hello and to make sue everything was to our satisfaction. A+ all around”
“Sol Azteca never disappoints! A Cadillac Margherita on a summer evening on the terrace? chef's kiss!”
“The Dooliner has a wonderful neighborhood atmosphere, great food and friendly service. Highly recommended!”

“I get a Hippie Smoothie here at least once a week, but every smoothie I've tried is great. I love that their smoothies are actually smooth, sweet and pleasant to drink, especially hard to do considering how many fresh, healthy and fibrous ingredients they use. I'm so happy to have found a good smoothie place in the Boston area.”

“Every year I host a tennis charity event Serve For a Cure in support of the Jimmy fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I reached out to Nothing Bundt Cakes, via email thinking they wouldn’t answer me. I got an phone call saying they would like to donate cakes to my event. When I was told how many, I was flabbergasted. They were so generous and very easy to work with. The day of my event a friend of mine picked up the personal cakes, and we gave them out to the tennis players. I some how got 4 of them. They were delicious! I would highly recommend Nothing Bundt Cakes for your next occasion or even just a sweet treat.”
“I am Asian American and have been eating mochi my entire life. Crystal's Bakery has forever changed how I think and feel about Mochi. Crystal's Mochi is like a heavenly cloud of fruit and cream that melts in your mouth. Gorgeous, silky soft texture unlike anything. It's not too sweet but addicting. Store-bought, rubbery chewy mochi has been downgraded to gummi status after eating Crystal's handmade mochi.
I also had mochi doughnuts, mung bean smoothie and plain sticky rice. Perfect Asian flavors that remind me of the homeland. Everything excellent!
It's a tiny shop and the place was jam packed with lines during our entire visit, for good reason.
I drove over an hour to get to Crystal's Bakery. It was no sacrifice. It is absolutely worth it. I will be making the trip again and many times more.”
“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😅”

“Stopped in for late lunch the food was very fresh well seasoned and flavorful. Price was about average. Staff worked together and walked around the Café bringing out orders and picking up used trays from tables. Atmosphere here was calm and the patrons were widely mixed in age.”
“I had a graduation party for my son from college and it was at a restaurant and Blackers bakery and this kitchen delivered the desserts and food I couldn’t ask for anything more perfect it was delicious beautiful presentation on time it was perfect The quality was excellent, and most of my guests have not been here and they were shocked and how good everything was it was perfect”
“Sushi Man is easily my family’s favorite restaurant. Whenever my kids come home, this is always at the top of their list.
The fish is consistently fresh, and even the simplest cuts of sashimi are incredibly flavorful, a true testament to quality. There’s something special about a place where a plain piece of raw fish can taste this good.
It’s a cozy, intimate spot with about eight tables and some bar seating, giving it that classic mom-and-pop feel. The husband and wife owners are always warm and welcoming, and they somehow manage to find a way to accommodate you, even when it’s busy.
A true neighborhood gem that we keep coming back to again and again.”
“Blown away by our cake! In one email Andrea completely captured my husband’s vibe and sent me a sketch with an idea that was far better than I imagined. The end product literally stole the show! The cake was also delicious - moist and flavorful. If you want a masterpiece that reflects the personality of the person or event you are celebrating, text, call or email Andrea NOW. She is amazing.”

“8/25
Unfortunately, the Wellesley location closed due to “high rent,” is what staff said to me. They may reopen somewhere else, perhaps Needham, but that is just a guess, at this time. Other locations remain
OPEN , eg in Newton Center.
I have been eating at this restaurant for more decades than I care to found. Awhile ago, there were some problems with some of the staff who were sometimes rude to you if you complained about a problem you had with the food. That there were any problems with the food was, itself, an unfortunate development.
I cannot report the exact dates, but the restaurant changed hands and now many of the previous staff members are back and they are as friendly as they had always been. The quality of the food is once again back to its high standards. And, I still frequent Amarins in Wellesley, one of my most favorite restaurants!”
“First time here. The service was amazing from the moment I walked in. The food was incredible. I ordered a chicken Ba'nh mi and Thai Iced tea.The meat was tender and flavorful. But the veggies baby let me tell you. Fresh perfectly pickled. It was sweet and spicy crunchy and savory. SOOOOO good!!!. Can't wait to go back again. This is a great place to eat.”

“Hands down, cheapest, highest quality stuff you'll find in the Watertown area, The owner Yoshi is so nice, he literally just handed me an extra piece of fish he was working on one night. Not sure if I came in at the end of the day, or because I spent X amount, but he straight up just gifted me this chunk of Tuna. Amazing owners, I will continue going back as long as I live in Boston.”

“I’ve been coming here for maybe a month for smoothies on hot days. One day I went in, and a delivery driver was picking up a massive order. The owner of the business made sure he didnt leave without his own (free) meal. Not something you see everyday, it stuck with me. I dropped them off some cheesecakes yesterday as a thank you for being an amazing business. Today I went in to grab my usual (strawberry banana smoothie with rainbow jellies) and another delivery driver was dropping off some fresh pineapples. He also left with a free meal 🥰 This business takes care of you, remembers you. The nicest people work there and the food and drinks are amazing. Can’t recommend a restaurant enough. Seriously go!”
