“I can’t stop thinking about the moutabel! So delicious! Everything was fantastic! I can’t wait to eat here again!“

“We love Mini Soup Dumpling with Pork (6 pieces), Seafood Noodles in Soup, Beef Basil Fried Rice, and Miso Soup today.
We loved the xiaolongbao, seafood noodle soup, nine-story pagoda beef fried rice and miso soup, and will come back to try the others in the future. Thanks!“

“Thank you Alan and Lotus Xpress for catering my husband's surprise 50th birthday party. Alan, you were wonderful to work with during the planning process- providing options and tending to all the details. The food was AMAZING! Delicious and a great variety. The day of the event, it was such a relief to have you there- catering to our 75 guests. As the host of the party, it gave me great ease knowing you were tending to the buffet and I was able to relax and tend to the guests! The food made the event. Thank you for helping make the event a success!“

“We went looking for Barbecue International and found out it was changed to Himalayan Kitchen. First timers and we ran into the owner who was super nice. We had the chicken pakoras, chicken tika masala lunch, garlic naan and beef chilli. Honestly favorite restaurant in Somerville now, definitely going to be regulars here. Everything was spiced perfectly and was amazing. 10/10 perfect comfort food and also good day food. Really happy we stopped by.“

“My new go-to spot for late night Chinese food.

Saw these spots popping up around the GBA a couple of months ago. At first glance, I figured it was just another low-tier takeout-focused Chinese joint. But after catching one of their flyers, I decided to give it a shot.

The place seemed fairly new, and the cleanliness was definitely a step up from your average Chinese takeout spot. Their menu is a bit of a mash-up, featuring both Chinese dishes and sushi rolls, but I wasn’t quite ready to roll the dice on sushi from here. I stuck with the classics (Twice cooked pork, shumai, etc), and most things I tried were solid. Prices aren’t exactly a steal, but the portions are generous, and the staff have always been friendly.

Compared to the late-night spots in Chinatown that I used to go to, the real perk of Dumpling Garden is the hassle-free street parking. Sure, the ratings might not be high, but I would still recommend giving them a try.“

“we had 2 sushi rolls and a pi no grigio and a maitai all were greatm fresh sushi and a nice atmosphere. the place is very clean. service was great!“

“This is some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! EVERYTHING was excellent & great customer service! Quick service & food is made to order fresh! This food is so good & my smoothie is very tasty & sweet (try 🥥🥭 with bubbles)💋
Crab Rangoon was so good. Did I mention EVERYTHING was fresh!? 😉
I will be coming back!“

“We stumbled on the amazing restaurant and stopped in twice while on vacation in South Boston! The food was unbelievable and the service was fantastic! 👏🏼 This is going to be our go to spot every time we make our annual trip to Boston. Love the local vibe and the chef and owner, Asia, was hand on and personally brought out the food she so skillfully prepared!! HIGHLY recommend Moonshine 152! 💕@chefasiamei“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“We love this style of Asian fusion cuisine so we came by for dinner and were not disappointed. Staff are helpful, attentive, and super friendly. The cocktails are great, and the food was incredible. It's a higher end spot in a wealthy area so you have to expect costs to reflect that.“

“Love the back bar and service was 10/10“

“the waiter was super nice helped me figure out what to eat considering never been there“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“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!“

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

“Burrito was delish. Crispy fries were awesome. Will be back again to try something else.“

“Exceptional. They brine/marinate and don’t cheap out on labor. Each entree is well studied and executed - from a pro chef with limited ingredients. I hope they’ll maintain good quality for lower prices and gain volume- it’s perfect for work lunch takeout. 2x spices and time earns 10x returning guests. There’s a lot of business to grow.“

“The place might not look appealing on the outside but the food is awesome! One of the best places in the Downtown Boston to grab a business lunch.“

“Mine and my daughter’s favorite place. We normally get the bbq pork banh mi sandwich but we’ve had the beef satay (pictured)..both delicious! Rice plates soo good. Smoothies are great! If we could get them all the time, we would! Highly recommend checking them out.“

“This place is the bomb. drove 2 hours to try it. service , food , and were phenomenal. Definitely coming back with friends. They even validated our parking.“

“There were two of us and this was our first time at this restaurant. Therefore we ordered the Chef's Choice for Two. The food and the experience was nice but we needed a bit more to eat. We ordered their Beef Sushi which initially comes with the meal.
A bit pricey for what it is but also a bit touristy as well.“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“I’m honestly glad that I waited to post my original review with a lower rating and thought through the experience a little bit more. As always, I find it a bit harder to review fusion spots. Not just any fusion either, but one that is all over the world map. It’s easy to just nitpick one dish and use it to judge everything else; but what about that is remotely fair?

For example, their Beef Rendang (a dish that I’m very familiar with - including the different regional renditions) is more like a hint towards what “real” Beef Rendang is. I don’t even need to speak on behalf of the Filipinos regarding their adobo (which I also grew up on) who are infamous to show up on public forums to criticize and say “that’s not how my grandmother makes it” (lol).

What did come to mind is the old quote that many often find negative but actually was meant to be a positive phrase (if the last part isn’t so often omitted). “Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than a master of one”.

That definitely applies here with their style of food. There’s a lot going on and a good portal to the true potential of each dish. Definitely give them a try! Portions are good and the food is definitely tasty!“

“Delicious, quick, and great location. Couldn't ask for more.“

“We have been getting take-out from Ray’s every week for the last 2 months.Come from Natick to Needham for their excellent food.In addition,whatever we order online or by phone is exactly what we receive;no surprises.Well worth the visit!“

“Went on $1 wing Wednesday with a group of four, great experience. They are very upfront with the fact that you must order a drink/side to “unlock” the wings. $10 each for beer and another $10 for some wings, each wing uniquely large and delicious. We will be returning on a very near future Wednesday.“

“The best in Boston.“

“They never disappoint Food is consistent never a bad meal Food presentation is A+ Staff very professional and very accommodating, making the whole experience even better !“

“Great place for lunch. The Pho is done perfectly and Vietnamese iced tea hits the spot. Seating area is small but no problem finding a place to sit. Dine-in or takeout options are available.

Highly recommend to anyone wanting some great noodles!“

“Overall ingredients + service + ambiance, I give it 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟 (Hawaii's is a bit better 😆🌺)“

“Got lunch here for the first time while working on the field in the Harvard IT department. I work around the West Campus a lot so I'm looking for more lunch spots. The kiosk is easy to use and navigate, the wait time was short. The pho was great and made for a nice warm bowl of broth and noodles in this cold weather. The noodles are well cooked. The broth was hot and had good seasoning. Lots of toppings and meat. My note of no lime and ginger was fulfilled.

However, my only complaint is that I also ordered a Brown Sugar boba milk tea and had to immediately spit it out as the taste of spoiled milk hit. I had my colleague at the office try it and he too also noticed it didn't taste like Brown Sugar boba milk tea and compared it to spoiled milk. I'm not going to give a 1 star because the review doesn't deserve that, but just a -1 for my drink. Might try again another day...but thanks for reading my review!“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“We have been ordering from Sono for many years, since they first opened. After a hiatus due to unrelated circumstances, we began ordering from Sono again and wondered why we ever stopped. The sushi is consistently fresh and prices are reasonable, and they outdo the larger name chains in the local area. Highly recommended.“

“DoorDash has a good two for one deal. I’ve tried another dish at a different location before and liked it. This time I got the Spicy Chicken Karahi ($11.85). It was indeed spicy. Some pieces of chicken were dry, and I would have liked more green beans, but the portion size was filling. It also came with some random crackers, but I liked them.“

“An amazing new spot in the local food scene! This fried chicken joint is a hidden gem worth discovering. The chicken is incredibly succulent, with a light, crispy breading that’s just right. The flavors are well-balanced, and the portion sizes are generous. The staff is well-versed in the menu and gave excellent recommendations. A must-visit for anyone who loves fried chicken!“

“I ordered the quesadillas and miso soup and have to say it was the best quesadillas I have ever had. The meat had so much flavor and there was plenty of sauce to make it even better. The miso soup was wonderful and stayed very warm even after I ordered it and hour before I ate it. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back“

“Good food, nice atmosphere!!“

“Everything was Fire 🔥 . Going back again soon.“

“Delicious Sichuan style food. I really enjoyed the mala spicy whole fish and Chengdu fried chicken. Skip the fresh chicken with mala broth which had too many small bones to pick through as you chew. Quiet place to dine most evenings.

Kid-friendliness: No high chairs or changing tables. No kiddie cups available.“

“This was a last stop on our self created pub/tavern/bar crawl. It was a flipping vibe! Reminded me of a place we would go in Paris. The bar stools were so comfortable which is why we stayed for two rounds! The drinks were amazing. My husband got a great beer and I hit a few of the signature cocktails. (Something Bloom, and a mint, sage, lemon one - amazing). We tried one appetizer - Golden Pork Belly with Guacamole- crispy, creamy, spicy. Perfection in flavor and presentation! It was the highlight on the pub crawl. The inside is beautiful and the staff was so kind, helpful and welcoming! We will probably go back tonight!!! Best was for sure last!!!“

“Very good Ramen and crepes! They rly put a lot of effort in every dish!“

“I love their food jun our server she is great“

“It is really tasty Everything we ordered is very good“

“This place is overall very good! The environment is clean, and the service is quick, which I really appreciated. The boba isn’t bad, but it’s not the best I’ve had — it could definitely use a little work to compete with other spots. I tried the sandwich, and while it was decent, it had way too many carrots for my taste. On the flip side, the cookies were delicious — definitely a standout! Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality and atmosphere mostly make up for it. Would come back, especially for a sweet treat!“

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“Highly recommend the Thai basil limeade and especially the the tamarind tangle. Dined in for late lunch with a coworker, and our great experience (both food and customer service) were well worth coming back here for a review. Though seating options weren't overly abundant, there was no wait to order on the kiosks and we received our food quickly on a dreary Thursday at 1pm.“
