“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.”

“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”

Crystal Bakery 829 Washington St, Newton Bakery • $$

“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😅”

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.”

“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!”

Aji 340 Walnut St, Newton Japanese • $$

“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.”

Sakanaya 232 California St, Newton Seafood Markets • $

“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 order about 4x/wk from Tatte. I love it BUT lately: A salmon sandwich was drowning in sauce, having to scrape it off and dispose of bread; a Turkey Blat had so much mayo I could not taste the turkey, and an egg order was made wrong.”

“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!”

“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😅”
