“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!“

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

“Good food. Really liked the Kra Pow Basil stir fry with pork--that was unique from anything I'd had before. Curries and appetizers were also top notch. Great value on the food. Decor was standard restaurant vibe, nothing special, but clean and neat--expected at this price point. Service was attentive and they were able to tailor spiciness.

Would like to see the blue rice make a comeback, as that was a nice treat.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Asia Mei is easily one of the best Chefs in Boston. I've eaten here several times, but I can't believe that I haven't written a review before now! My husband and I had brunch at moonshine 152 last weekend and told friends about it. Next thing you know, the four of us were in there around noon time today having brunch again. We shared three starters, alongside sharing all four entrées and everything, I mean everything was to die for! Ms Asia herself delivered some of our plates and she is just as delightful as she is talented. Needless to say, dinner is amazing here as well. The vibe in the restaurant is so easy and you can tell that the staff get along very well together. What I can't believe is how this place wasn't fully packed today or last weekend even. Definitely a good amount of patrons, but I've had brunch at places that are hard to get into and left much less satisfied.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is an intimate and rewarding eating experience. I have had lunch here 3 times, and not been disappointed once. Delicious and unusual items all through their expansive menu. For example I have had bitter mustard green soup, stuffef meat “sandwiches” that are more like pies, a crusty sweet potato “pancake” with seeds, sweet iced lavander latte, tofu dishes prepared wonderfully. The owners are friendly and appear to be managing a different kind of Asian fusion menu with an open mind, changing things up as they go. Because the previous tenant ran a pizza restaurant, they decided to offer Chinese pizza with unusual and original ingredients. Reasonably priced, parking availability in Huron Village might be the only drawback. Open every day of the wëek,
11am - 9:30pm.“

“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.“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“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!“

“The best in Boston.“

“The food was super! We ordered the pork belly bao, butter beef spring rolls, kimchi fried rice, the beef curry mazemen, and the Shojonator with duck fat fries. Everything was great! The kimchi fried rice was so, so good! The beef curry was perfectly spiced! The spring rolls were clean and crunchy with a great sauce. The pork belly bao had perfectly matched components that worked so well! The duck fat fries were hot (temperature), seasoned well, and crunchy. The shojonator was really good and cooked perfectly. Everything here is great, if you want a good meal! It's worth the price!“

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

“Their beef dishes are amazing, so tender and full of flavor and the vegetables are well cooked, which I love as someone who never got used to salads. I admit that I almost always get the beef rendang because it just hits the spot, but on occasions when I have tried the other dishes, they have been good as well. I miss the octopus.“

“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!“

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“We celebrated my wife’s Birthday last month and we had a great time with my family.
We had never been to a BBQ place like this before so we had no clue what to do.
Our waitress was very helpful and answered every question we had and explained what was going to happen and how it would work with the food.
Needless to say everything went smoothly and we had a great time.“

“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!“

“Don’t ever order thru their website if you want delivery, it will never come and they’ll take so long to situate your order.. never again . They weren’t trying to give me my order at first so frustrating and ridiculous what I had to go through“

“Good food, nice atmosphere!!“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

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

“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“

“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,“

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

“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!“

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