“From the host to the server to the scallion pancakes, everything was delightful. The food was really yummy, I'll come back just for the scallion pancakes but I enjoyed the bao, the sushi, and the fried pickles! We liked everything we ordered, and we came hungry. I wish I'd ordered a meal to go to eat on the way home. I would eat here once a week if I was local!“
“Salem, MA, is an enchanting city that boasts a rich tapestry of history, intriguing social narratives, and an air of mystery.This city is renowned for its iconic landmarks, exceptional dining spots, and vibrant bars. I had the pleasure of being invited for a beer at one of its notable establishments, although I was cautioned that it leans more towards cocktails. The Dire Wolf not only met but surpassed my expectations.With a soundtrack featuring the likes of Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, and INXS, the ambiance is undeniably steeped in classic rock vibes, setting the stage for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The establishment is helmed by an incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming host, and the offerings are complemented by fresh, quality ingredients - albeit generously portioned - that perfectly match the excellent and carefully curated selection of beers.Observing the surroundings, I noticed an atmosphere filled with good spirits, visually appealing and deliciously crafted cocktails. Indeed, the Dire Wolf stands out as a quintessential landmark in Salem, capturing the essence of the city's charm and vitality.“
“Had the Cajun butter crab legs and shrimp. It was cooked well and delicious. I’ve eaten a lot of viet Cajun and it can be over cooked or the seafood can taste old. I was pleasantly surprised. Hope this place stays around because I love this style of dining and it’s hard to find. Dim Sum was also good.“
“Stopped by looking for high quality sushi and was not disappointed. Although they were out of O-Toro, seeing the disappointment on my face the host graciously gave us kama toro on the house. Aside from the awesome customer service, the sushi quality was exquisite with a wider variety and personal touches that are hard to find outside of Japan. Will definitely be coming back here, the next time we are in the area!“
“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“
“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.“
“I've done take out from this place a few times now through a catering app for my job and this place never fails. Despite the large orders it gets, my food has always come on time and with great flavor. I'm not adventurous when it comes to sushi, rather I'm very basic. I have ordered the lunch combo with the crispy onion roll, crunchy shrimp roll, and shrimp dumplings and I've also tried the spicy shrimp tempura and edamame. My favorite has been the onion roll because of the crispy onions on top that provide so much flavor and the crunchy and fresh cucumber. The shrimp in my sushi has always been crispy and the rice is sticky, not hard. The only disappointment has been that the spicy shrimp tempura roll is not spicy but you can fix that with some sriracha. The edamame has a fresh taste.“
“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.“
“Everything was awesome! The staff was friendly and punctual. This is an excellent low-key kinda place (food served on paper plates). There were contanst orders ready to be picked up. I highly recommend this restaurant, plenty of options to satisfy all palettes.“
“Food is SO FRESH. It’s definitely makes the list for the top 3 sushi restaurants in town! This deserves a 4.9/5 star at the lowest. It’s perfect. AND ITS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE win win win. Thank you so much Kame.Vegetarian options: Vege sushi is amazing“
“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.“
“This place is well known for sushi and takeout food. If you haven't tried the eat-in experience, I recommend it. The eat-in feels slightly elevated, though the only negative to it is that it is so small inside and the staff has nowhere to be except for the bar, which can feel a bit like crowding (not their fault, it just is what it is). We specifically came for the duck, which we have had in the past. This time, we got the mango crispy duck, and it was A+, just perfectly cooked and crispy yet tender. We also got spicy dumplings, which was a special. We loved them. In addition, we had the lo mein, which was fair. It seemed a bit oily for my tastes and lacked flavor. The scallion pancakes were fine, but served with a soy based sauce and not a plum sauce, which isn't typical around here. The cheese Rangoon (crab) was ok too. Overall, I can say for certain we will be back for that duck and the sushi (didn't have it this time, but consistently some of the best around). The drinks are also well made.“
“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!“
“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“
“This review is for takeout. The online order menu is not helpful for identifying gluten-free items, but the person on the phone was very knowledgeable and helpful. They packaged my sushi separately and offered gluten-free soy sauce. Everyone was happy with their food. I really liked the spicy tuna and the fatty tuna rolls.“
“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“
“My husband thinks I am ridiculous for not originally giving them 5 stars and he is right. I was there again and the child I was with changed his order and I offered to pay for the additional dish because I am sure it was prepared already. The waitress was like "Nope! I am sure it is okay." That was so kind because that child just lost his dad so I was going to give him anything he wanted. Thanks so much.“
“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.“
“Our "Go To" restaurant in the area. Great service and atmosphere. My wife and I have enjoyed every entry we've ordered. From walnut salad, steak tips, Bolognese to burger. Then great to be recognized on our birthdays with a complimentary Skillet Chocolate Cookie. Keep it up, you're doing it right!“
“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!“
“New menu new owner. I went there when it was Billy gs the new owner from the original was not great food. But a new owner took over and he has done a great job in freshness off food new staff which is very good. The drinks were excellent and the food is made to order and very fresh. I complimented the owner will be going there again.“
“If you are craving sushi or hibachi this is the place to go! Dinner and a show! The chef is always working to get people to smile and awe at his skills. The wait staff is super attentive! Rightly priced and great tasting food! As I am writing this I am planning on making my way over soon!!10 out 10“
“Amazing food and atmosphere. Highly recommend the firecracker roll or the Incredible Hulk roll… and finish off with some tempura fried Oreos (enough to share!) Ask for Dominic… outstanding service, attentive, great suggestions and awesome vibes all around.“
“This bar/restaurant has a bar section to it and a large dining area. They offer a selection of foods, but Chinese dishes predominate. The pizza is excellent. The boneless ribs were good too. Prices were OK. Their Karaoke night left much to be desired. Multiple large screen TV's to watch games. Service was a little slow the past few times I've been in. Plenty of parking, but the lot does fill up.Parking: Just get there earlier on popular nightsKid-friendliness: It's a little more formal than McDonalds; it is definitely a sit down restaurant. If your kids can't handle sitting diwn for awhile, I'd suggest Friendly's, Dennys or other optionsWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped ramp, with at least 3+ spots dedicated for disabled parking“
“You cannot go wrong ordering from here. It’s definitely a take-out place even though there are technically tables inside. The food is good for the price and reasonable/good portions compared to a few competitors in the area that cost a lot more. When I want sushi, I always prefer to order from here instead of the other restaurants that are nicer in terms of ambiance.“
