“We had my husbands 70th birthday surprise party and the guests could not stop raving how good the food was and the drinks and how much fun it was. Kevin and his wife worked so hard to make it a success. I work full time and left it in their hands and the did not disappoint. Great time cannot recommend enough for a quiet dinner or family affair or party“
“Really good. Hadn't been in years. Food was tasty and fresh. Best pork fried rice. Bobo platter fro two really really good. Great pad thai. Duck sauce is so good. Drinks are a little pricey but I dont know nany places yhat arent these days. Also, the chocolate fortune cookies are so good!“
“Good Sushi and suburbs are two concepts you don't always link together. Wakefield, in particular, was a bit of a food culture change for us, having grown up in the city and having lived in Somerville for years, so when this place showed up, we just had to try it. Well, we were blown away. This is some of the best sushi I've had in New England. My wife and I both have some dietary restrictions, which can be tricky with Japanese food, but Allen and his family were extremely accommodating and made us feel like 1st class citizens. Everything we got was fresh, made to order and was extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend the omakase menu if you have the time and appetite, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail put this place heads up just about any sushi shop around.“
“This was one of the BEST omakase experiences I have ever had. The attention to detail was extraordinary. I ate at several two and three star Michelin restaurants last summer in France and I was happier with my dining experience at Umami. The quality of ingredients is absolutely stellar and it is truly a treat for all the senses. Go!!“
“This was an amazing Omasake experience in Lexington. Chef Mike prepares all of the sushi fresh in front of you. He is committed to pushing himself to create unique and different flavors. Definitely the best omakese we've had in the Boston area. Could not recommend more if you want great food with a relaxed, cozy atmosphere.“
“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“
“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.“
“The sushi was fantastic. I based going there solely on the google review and it did not disappoint. Specifically, the salmon was amazing. Probably the best sushi grade salmon we have ever had. I wouldn't say the atmosphere is anything out of the ordinary, the service was good even though only one waitress for the number of tables. She was quite attentive and once ordered the food came out fast and presentation was great. If you want good sushi, I highly recommend Matsuba. Probably an excellent take out option and pricing was on par or slightly better than average in my opinion.Parking: There is a lot within a couple minute walk.“
“The BEST poke in Boston, period! I have tried all of them in the area and always left hungry and disappointed for the same reason, 90% of the bowl is rice with a few pieces of fish. This place is different. The bowl has a generous amount of fresh, high quality fish, reasonable amount of rice and other ingredients that make the bowl coherent in flavor. It tastes amazing and it is very satisfying as well. Couldn't recommend it enough!!!“
“POSITIVE: Good hot and sour soup. Good lunch options (food quantity and price). NEGATIVE: 1 person took our order, another person delivered the food to our table. No one came to check if everything was ok, or offer water refill. Kung Pao chicken was more sweet than spicy. Would not order again. Crab rangoon was overcooked and hard to eat. Went during a Saturday lunchtime. Very few customers until close to end of lunch special time. On-street parking, so limited by time of day and other business customers on the same street. It's a little "hole in the wall" place; easy to miss. In all fairness, I would try it once more to see if other dishes are better.“
“As hibachi / teppanyaki restaurants go, this is primo. The sushi was superb too.Parking: It's not super obvious from the street, look for the sign. The door is where it looks like, take the elevator to the second floor for the restaurant.“
“Best sushi spot I’ve found in the area. The food is phenomenal. The nigiri always comes with a generous amount of fish that is super tender and flavorful. And they serve toro and mackerel, two of my favorites that aren’t always easy to find.“
“J and J is my families new spot for Asain tasty treats. Jean is a fantastic owner. She makes you feel like family from the time you enter the establishment. Sushi was fresh and delicious. They even made a special chicken tempura roll for my wife and added it to their POS ordering system for future visits. We call it the Elisabet roll named after my wife of course. My kids smashed every morsel of food on their plates which is especially rare for my picky 6 year old daughter who just loved her fried rice and Salmon. Kids meals are adult size so it's a great value . I had two Scorpion ? Bowls which got me feeling pretty lively. I imagine moving forward we will be doning weekly at J & J . Jean and staff thanks for the wonderful time.Blessings,Phillips Family“

“OK but like this is where you can get Omakasa without paying $200 and wait for a month for it!!I absolutely love the Omakasa here because it came with Uni, miso soup, rice, seaweed for handmade maki, various salt flavoring, and everything was super fresh. It was 79$ for my portion and I love it. So worth it!“
“My boyfriend and I just went here and split a few sushi rolls and the chicken Kara age. All of the food was really delicious, might be the best kara age I’ve ever had, and their lunch menu pricing is really reasonable. Our waitress was really nice and all the food came out quickly.“
“Went there on Easter Sunday. We weren’t quite sure what to expect. We were greeted by a pleasant staff with multiple servers greeting us along the way. Overall definitely had a friendly feel. It’s a very nice place to eat not overly extravagant but on the upper end of nice. The food was excellent and service was fantastic. The staff seems to work as a great team. Overall there was nothing that came to mind that I felt needed to improve. 10/10.“
“This is a definite 'must visit' restaurant! The atmosphere is beautiful- it's sleek, stylish and modern. But, the food is the real reason to eat here. Amazing! Flavorful! Well presented! And so fresh! Just straight up yummy! It does get pretty busy so there were times we were waiting for our server. I'd say it was worth the wait though.“
“Stopped by for the first time after work today to grab dinner. Definitely one of my new favorites. I got the omakase set and there were no frills or gimmicks, it was just fresh and delicious fish. I wanted to get just one ikura order as an extra, but was informed that I needed to order at least two pieces of the same sushi, so i opted not to, but when my plate came out, they added it anyways! The food was so good that I forgot to bring it up and thank them... hope they see this! ごちそうさまでした！“
“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“
“I tried Soi8 for the first time and it was delicious! I have had sushi all over the world and this is some of the best! The Tuna Tataki was a great start! And the Sex on the Beach roll was amazing! I like spicy tuna and this was just perfect! I plan to bring family, friend and clients here!!Parking: I parked right out front.“
“They ALWAYS do such a great job with the quality, quantity and presentation of their food. Not to mention, their customer service is always top notch! We had a Christmas party and they kindly arranged the sushi on two big platters for us and also made sure the Uber Eats driver knew to be careful with our order because the sushi could easily move around inside the platters before it reached our house. I’ve never had a bad experience or meal from here. A regular customer for life!“
“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“
“I can not say enough how much I love Sushi Corner . There food is absolutely amazing. I have tried a number of things there and its always delicious and fresh! The individuals that work there are so nice and so helpful on recommendations. The tall man that works the front, love him! He is so extremely nice. I highly recommend this place if you want delicious, fresh, amazing food.“
“Amazing sushi, wonderful atmosphere, and always a fantastic experience!Every time we come here it feels like visiting family - from the friendly welcome, to the drinks and soup, and incredible sushi.This is the most underrated sushi experience. I suspect the only reason this place is not always full is because it just opened up and most don't know about it. The sushi is better than the other 3 places in Arlington. The service is the best we've ever had. The fish is incredibly fresh.Everything from the sushi menu has been incredibly tasty. The Hako Tuna roll and the mango roll are two favorites from the specialty menu. In terms of nigiri, everything has been delicious and super fresh - we really enjoy the tuna and scallop nigiri. We come here about twice a week and recommend it very highly!Kid-friendliness: Wonderful experience with a child!“
“Only place I go for take out!Fresh, well packaged and consistently great.I am a very picky eater and modify everything, EVERY TIME they make sure I get what I need. Any issues from reviews I see are from Uber eats and recommend ordering online and picking up in store.They’re always busy so give yourself a little extra time, with the understanding they are a small staff making everything in house!“
“This is literally the best Chinese food restaurant in Massachusetts. Food is 5/5 - both Chinese & Sushi. Service is 5/5, Drinks are 5/5. The only negative is that it's so popular you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait!“
“Nice little restaurant/bar off rt1 my son brought me here and I have to say I was amazed at how good the food was and at night they do karaoke ? where you can sing right from your seat it was so much fun I would Definitely Recommend checking it out with your friends for a fun night out uou won't be disappointed we had a blast and the food and service was great really friendly and good people. I will definitely be returning.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Awesome local place. Consistently quick takeout. Or come sit at the bar for a drink and a Rangoon and a good time. One of the only lively places in Arlington ??♀️ They often have live music, and will let ya put whatever you want on the tv!“
“Great new restaurant - awesome for takeout or to eat in, it is a more upscale atmosphere with a good selection of beer, wine & sake. My husband loves sushi and I love Thai and this is the only place in town we’ve found that does both, and does it very well! Highly recommend.“
“Sushi is great and very well priced. Eating in or take out is great. Fish is always awesome and the prices and deals can't be beat. The workers are always amazing to work with if something is incorrect and they make sure to make it right. I always order “
“People have told me good things about Maggie's Farm in Middleton. I have eaten at the ( now closed)Winchester restaurant and I think overall you have a good handle on the restaurant business which is difficult to say the least.Maggie Farm was Very Good.The four stars was the way I say Keep it up ,stay fresh , keep your good employees , there is always ways to improve ,which your customers will appreciate“
“I just moved to town and have eaten at maybe 5 or 6 places, and this place is far and away my favorite. Best pad thai I've ever had, drinks are really good and cheap, and the atmosphere, at least on a Tues night, is really nice and quiet.Also, I am not sure why it's listed as 30-50, I got a mixed drink, a sushi roll, and pad Thai for <30, and they brought out wonton for free.Really happy with my meal! I look forward to sharing this place with friends.Update: Still my favorite spot.Vegetarian options: Great vegi options.“
“From the delicious food to the friendly and attentive staff to the incredibly cool ambience, Karma is the place to dine at for a wonderful experience (especially if you have a gluten allergy like myself)! They have a completely separate gluten free menu and the staff are very knowledgeable of allergies. I ordered the spicy beef with a side of white rice and it vanished in no time at all! I can't wait to go back! 10/10 would recommend.“
“We love it here. The food is so authentic and spicy. It takes your tastebuds to a whole new place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It’s truly a gem here, and the authentic nature here makes you appreciate their culture. Also, the Mai Tai is wonderful and the price is reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. The restaurant is huge, and we only had to wait once on Chinese New Year. We get the Spicy Jumbo Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Picked Radish and the Smoked Pork with green pepper. You must give this place a try if you keep an open mind, and truly want authentic cuisine. It’s simply the best! Thank you.“
“Peter and wife April! Plus Baylin (I know spelling wrong) The only other host with the most there! we have been coming here for over six years. My son who is just turning 10 always request for Moontown. The rules! The soups! Not to mention the generosity of free spritzer drinks, and the fact that it feels like I'm walking into family members house when I show up or even call. I've never been sick here !!!!! and I absolutely love their food. ???❤️???“
“The food here is very good, the food is made to order and the service is very good. I prefer a lighter hand with less salt and cornstarch but I understand that their typical clientele expects a more experienced style. I appreciate fresh vegetables and beautiful service. Good value lunch specials with the option to upsize for just a few dollars.“
“Staff were so, so sweet, but the food was not it. The salmon sashimi was super funky to the smell and mouth... That was their last serving of salmon, so I didn't want to be that person to ask for exchange. So, I held my breath and ate 'em all.“
“Gen sushi is our go-to neighborhood sushi joint. They provide high quality sushi with notably larger pieces of fish than competing restaurants in the area. We particularly enjoy the way they prepare nigiri! They have friendly and welcoming staff and we appreciate their early opening time of 4 PM.“
“I’ve ordered from this place numerous times, take outs & Grubhub, and food was GREAT every single time. I’ve tried other places for ramen/udon but none like this, the broth is delicious & savory. Orders are always well packaged with good quality. The owner is very nice & sweet as well. Give this place a try!P.S. Their Takoyaki is a MUST TRY btw!“
“I stopped in and had an early dinner/late lunch.Ordered the roasted brussel sprouts and they were nicely charred and delicious. Along with the sprouts I had a Margarita, tasty..and the Hawaiian Burger an eclectic mix of 2 burger patties, lettuce , tomatoes , onion and now for the unusual toppings, Spam and Pineapple! I was curious and ate it just as served and the burger was good, definitely a good combo. The burger patties were of the "smash" variety and the only thing I'd say is they were more well done than I like. Overall the drinks, the food and the staff were great.“
“Food was great for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Definitely don’t expect high-end sushi at AYCE restaurants. They have steaks on the menu, which is a huge plus. The steaks aren’t bad at all. Sushi rice-to-fish ratio is reasonable. Service from the waitresses was ok but the dude from the reception was a little rude and gave side eyes to customers so that took a star off. Maybe he was the owner or something, he obviously didn’t care enough.“
“The menu is a masterful celebration of Asian cuisine, with a strong emphasis on Japanese flavors. We started with a selection of appetizers, including the Edamame sprinkled with sea salt and the Gyoza, which were perfectly pan-fried to achieve that desirable crispiness on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.The sushi is undoubtedly the star of the show. We indulged in the Chef's Special Sushi Platter, which was a visual and gustatory delight. Each piece of sushi was fresh, with the fish's natural flavors shining through, complemented by perfectly seasoned rice. The Dragon Roll and the Spicy Tuna Roll were also standout choices, offering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.“
“The place has more young college age people than I expect for a traditional Chinese restaurant. Interior design looks more like an American than an Asian restaurant. Food is good but pricy. I did like their river eel dish that is difficult to get from Asian restaurants, where I usually get sea eels. Overall the food is moderately spicy so most people that have tried Chinese spicy food will be able to enjoy.“
“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“
“This restaurant is one of my favorites in this area! The atmosphere was like a casual restaurant in East Asian countries. I was relaxed to stay in the restaurant. Mostly, the food was so delicious. We ordered spicy sesame ramen and a sushi followed with the name of the restaurant, and this ramen was wonderful so that I ate this in a few minutes!“
“I had to come back and update my review -- Shine's has changed, and I think it's great. I hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but a few months ago my family decided to give it another try, and we've been back regularly ever since. The menu is almost completely different from what it was back in 2017: they are focused on authentic dishes, and doing it very well. I wish I'd come back sooner! The menu contains a lot of choices that aren't typical, but are very tasty. We particularly like the Rougamo sandwiches (listed on the menu as "burgers", but that's not exactly how I would describe them) and the "pancakes" (more like stuffed crepes, sort of), particularly the shredded potato pancakes. The soups are also excellent and unusual. And there are still areas of the menu we haven't explored at all. (I have no idea what "Toofy" is... guess I'll have to try it.) My only (minor) complaint is that you order at a kiosk (or online, for take-out) so you can't ask the waiter/waitress for any info/recommendations.“
“Third time came here. Ordered steamed egg with minced meat, fresh and soft taste. Fish fillet with double pepper with noodles, highly recommended if love spicy ?️ food. Cumin beef, good taste but a little bit too dry and some of them not 100% fresh, might not order again.“
“I had the hot and sour soup it was excellent and very fast delivery to the table I also ordered a 16 piece chef sushi sampler that was also excellent and pretty quick. I had more than enough to eat for the price and the amount of sushi they got me. I would highly recommend this place.“
“The food was very good! Tasty and fresh! The hot and sour soup is apparently the best my roommate has had in years. This is more a carry out type establishment even though there are multiple tables. We happened to eat in. Service was fast and very welcoming. Paper and styrofoam plates, plastic cups, and utensils. When ordering for pick up, this is THE place to go. Not so much for a dining-in experience. We will be ordering from here!“
“The absolute BEST place for steamed dumplings! We pick up a couple of packs maybe 2 times per week. They are perfectly steamed, tender pork, ground well with seasoning and the wrapping is not super thick. You will never be disappointed. And the dumpling sauce is not too salty and has a bit of sweetness to it. We love them!!“
