Noodles near Newton, MA

“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😅“

“Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating.

The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid.

Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty.

The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side.

Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.“

“This restaurant was recommended to us. Hand rolled noodles isn’t something you can get in rural Maine. The noodles we delicious. The waitstaff was attentive. The restaurant was clean and lively. They customized a dish for my daughter (no spice) and her dish was just as flavorful considering they omitted items. We tried an assortment of appetizers and main entrees and my only recommendations would be to get a side of rice for a $1 so you can soak up all the delicious sauce and flavors. Even the tea was good. Bathroom was clean. Food was fresh. And try the thousand layers honey cake. I think everyone will find something to like here. If I am ever in Providence, I will 💯 go again.“

“The lunch special was a great deal! The beef rib chili oil noodles were delicious. I would love to try every noodle dish here.

My one complaint food-size is that there was only one fresh vegetable side option (the cold cucumber salad) which was vinegary so together with the other side I got (golden chicken nuggets, which were a bit too crispy for my taste and rather salty) the meal overall ended up a bit too salty. A plain vegetable side would have made a good counterbalance to the flavorful but rich and/or salty/vinegary dishes.

We went on a holiday Monday so it was quite busy, but the wait wasn’t too long (~20min for a group of two via the online waitlist), and once we were seated the service was great and the food came out super quickly!

Given the busyness, it was a little tricky to flag down the host once our table was ready – there was a crowd of people waiting at the front of the restaurant by the door so you had to be carefully assertive as the staff were quite busy.
It might be nice if the restaurant asked people to wait outside instead, as the restaurant felt a bit cramped and loud as a result, but also it was a cold day outside so it’s good that people were able to stay warm. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Overall, would definitely recommend this place for stellar noodles, and I would definitely come back (on a non-holiday when it’s maybe less crowded)!“

“I had been following this restaurant for a long time since I came to Boston area, so I was so excited to be there. As “Uncle Roger” says, “not bad, not bad!”

Creamy Tum Yum Noodle Soup: The Tum Yum soup broth was exactly authentic. It provided a strong taste of both tangy and spicy, exciting my taste buds and increasing my appetite. As for the ingredients, shrimps were fresh and bouncy, char-siu slices were crunchy but not greasy, while the lime added extra zing to the soup.
But to be frank, unfortunately I could still taste the gamey smell from the refrigerated pork, even though it had been that heavily seasoned.“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

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

“We come here all the time mostly lunch sometimes dinner. We love this restaurant the most on this whole street and in Malden. Our whole family love it. Price level is great compare to all other restaurant near by. Yunnan noddles I love it all the time that's their specialty. It also a very healthy option for family. Yunnan rice noddle is their speciality not ramen nor curry rice. We love most of their appetizers. Their menu also expanding and the steaming bun dumplings are better than the dim sum restaurant.
The food always come very quick for these hungry people.“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal! Pan seared pork bao and mala duck for appetizers. General Tso’s chicken and Grandma’s pork noodles for entrees. Good stuff! Kyle the bartender was awesome. We ate at the bar,“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“I am Thai and I highly recommend trying the Yum Salmon if you enjoy seafood with explosive flavor sauce/dressing instead of plain wasabi, and don’t miss out on the papaya salad for a wonderful balance of flavors. Pair it all with the pandan leaf drink for a complete experience!“

“We have a new office in Boston. So periodically I drive down from our main office to the Boston location and every time I do, I have resolved to try a new restaurant. This was today’s choice and it was SPECTACULAR! My server was fantastic. The food came out quickly and was insanely good. I didn’t know how big my stir-fried rice cake bowl would be so I ordered the sweet and sour pork loin to go with it. But the rice cake bowl was huge and tasted incredible. Lots of heat, lots of fresh prepared veggies and meat. 10/10 would recommend that dish. The pork tenderloin I tried and 10/10 would recommend it as well. The location is a bit small and that is literally the only nit I can pick. If you’re in this area, get some take out or eat in , you won’t regret it!!“

“My husband (who is vegan) and I were in the Boston/Cambridge area for work and selected Base Crave for our first meal out. We met two people from his job and noticed that the place was empty except for us and the staff. That worried me, but after eating, my only thought was “people need to eat here! They don’t know what they’re missing!” The 4 of us ordered vegetarian mo mo (omg - yum!), vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala (I didn’t try it but was told it was good), Tofu Mushroom stir-fry chilies mild which was okay, probably because we got it mild, Plantain curry (my hubby says fabulous!), plain naan (very good), and the Mushroom Stir-fry Noodles, mild. My husband and I agreed that the best things on the table were the Mo mo and the stir-fry noodles, both had fabulous flavor! We definitely recommend this place and would love to eat there again!“

““Chongqing Yellow Pea Noodles” 🍜 chewy but not sticky, nothing will beat this spicy Chongqing noodles.
Don’t sleep on their dry noodle “Sichuan Pepper Meat Sauce Noodle” incredible delicious, the first bite transported me back to China.

Wow, just had the most delicious soup dumplings 🥟 filled with savory broth as well as meat. Bobo chicken is one of the signature dishes, flavorful, spicy 🌶️ lovely 🥰“

“Been on a total soup + noodle kick lately, so I finally made it to Kyuramen - Winchester in Winchester — & WOW, worth the hype! 🙌🍜 Started off with the spicy chili dumplings (perfect amount of heat) & the popcorn chicken, which honestly might be the best I’ve ever had. They may not look fancy, but they’re seasoned perfectly & cooked to perfection. I went for the Ying Yang bowl — so many protein options & so insanely flavorful. He got the tonkatsu omurice, which was not only delicious but such a fun presentation.“

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

“Definitely some of the freshest and tastiest seafood and innovative sushi and asian food I've had in a while, very fresh and tasty!“

“Had my doubts, I went to the restaurant relatively late at night, and the atmosphere was a bit creepy, maybe because of the lighting. But the staffs are very friendly, and the food is incredible, especially with the price point. Will be coming back, maybe I'll try dining in next time...“

“Yummy food very nice people“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“I love how this place has both Thai and Vietnamese food, it’s such a good combo. Everything tasted really fresh and absolutely delicious. The lychee smoothie with popping boba was so refreshing. I’d definitely recommend trying it if you’re in the area. Added to one of my favorite spots!“

“On my second visit to this establishment, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of their cuisine. The service provided by the four servers, Kiara, Facely, Nataly, and Gata, was impeccable. Their prompt and attentive service made my dining experience truly memorable. It is commendable how these young women collaborated effectively to deliver such outstanding service. Their dedication and professionalism are truly inspiring.“

“Very calm atmosphere and extremely clean...the wait for your order is alittle long but that just means they're taking time with your food!!! Delicious menu nice people I definitely recommend although it's just take out no dine in available unless you sit by the window on small stools.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. Very friendly and quick.“

“Great food as always, and the staff are really nice once you walk into the restaurant they always say hi to you“

“SO YUMMY. Definitely worth the time to get in here. We were tipped onto it because of its Michelin recommendation. We went early to beat the rush, and I'm glad we did because people were starting to line up around 5:30! Can't wait to dine there again.“

“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.“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“Finally made some. they are delicious. thanks cuz“

“Very delicious fish seafood noodle restaurant. Use to visit their pearl mall outlet restaurant as it’s very near to my working place. Recommended!! Cheers.“

“This place is the REAL Deal. Good portions, AUTHENTIC, Clean place, GREAT menu. Keep up the good work!!!!“

“This restaurant is really awesome. I ordered a tom yum sort of thing that was way too spicy for me. The server was super nice and kept telling me I needed to finish all my food 😅. The food is good but I didn't order the right thing for me, but the service made up for it.“

“I love eating there. Dim sum and dinner menu .“

“The food was savory and the service was fantastic and quick!“

“The food is absolutely amazing, so fresh. 2nd visit and will definitely be back. The staff is so pleasant and I can’t say enough about the foods we tried. Can’t wait to go again at try a few more items on the menu.“

“Came here with a friend out of town, and the service was amazing. Really attentive servers and lots of pre-bussing which I appreciate. My vegan ramen was delicious, and a good price for the combo deal. I also got the lychee cocktail that was very sweet but pretty good. Overall would come again!“

“This has to be my top 2 ramen shops! The broth was so rich yet not too salty, perfect balance. The ramen noodles are perfectly chewy.

I also loved their appetizers! Best of all, they have an app so I can rack up points for perks! Students can even get up to 20% off!

The service was excellent and ambiance minimalist and clean.“

“Went to an escape room nearby and a friend wanted Chinese near us and checked on the maps and this was close by and had good reviews.

Just like the reviews said there is as paid parking lot right next to it and you may find free street parking around.

Quiet with plenty of seating and very authentic Chinese food, not the Americanized Chinese food. They also served us water right away and kept coming around to make sure our glasses were always topped up.

The friend who wanted Chinese asked the waiter for a shrimp recommendation and talked with the waiter about what he would like and when the food came it was exactly what he wanted. Everyone lived their dishes and the prices were very reasonable.

We even agreed that next time we do the escape room in the area, we are going back to eat there again.“

“It was very good! I ordered a level three spicy though, and almost couldn't eat it, beware!“

“Came here with my family and honestly everything was great. We got the eel clay pot rice, salty & spicy squid, and a couple other Cantonese dishes — all came out quick, hot, and packed with flavor.

Service was friendly and the food tasted fresh. Not sure what some of the bad reviews are talking about, but our experience was awesome. Definitely coming back — this spot deserves more love“

“The best food I ever had the the shrimp rice was amazing and it’s my first time here! Next time a come here I want to try that kimchi fried rice“

“Had pho and the fresh spring rolled with grilled beef, phenomenal!“

“The food was great. I got the spicy chicken rice noodles with soup. The bowl was bigger than my head and I got full half way through and took the rest home for dinner. The broth was the best in my opinion, very flavorful but not too strong. And lastly, their takeout containers is top tier, on my way home the container got tilted a lot and nothing spilled.“

“Tried it for the first time today. I really enjoyed the Hot Sour hand pulled noodle soup. I got extra noodles and medium spice. I will definitely be ordering again. The broth was packed with flavor, it all arrived hot and well packed. Give it a try.“

“Such a beautiful little restaurant!
Our first time in; We dined in on a Wednesday and was instantly greeted and sat to a table with a menu. The atmosphere here is very welcoming and feels like I’m going to a family’s house for a wholesome home cooked meal. (And a great music playlist might I add)
We ordered quite a bit, thai rolls, chicken pho, lomein, pork fried rice! Everything came out quickly while still being hot, rich in flavor and overall better than most if not all similar restaurants in the Boston area.
If you’re in a debate, definitely check this place out! Will be back again and thank you to the staff and chef!🍜“

“The food is great relative to many Chinese restaurants in the area. The chefs cook very quickly and flavorfully. Price-wise, you can eat a lot for your dollar. And the portions turn into take-home for days. I hope I see this place bustling full some day.“

“Food was delicious. The tea was fascinating. Hong Kong Style french toast is a must. Fried pork is delicious, not greasy or oily, the soup dumplings were robust in flavor. The best thing was the
service. 10/10 recommend. Total? $28“

“This place actually hits the spot. I really recommend crispy pork ribs with garlic sauce. That’s absolutely delicious. The hot and sour is a little too spicy for me but you can ask them to make it a little less next time. It was kinda random because we were just walking around Chinatown and walked past this restaurant. The Empress Chicken is a little too salty for me if I just ate it by itself. Recommend to eat it with white rice. Staff is pretty nice and helpful. The price is really good in this economy. Definitely come back and try other food🤩“
