“Yum!! The sushi closest to the camera was the Southie , the back one is the coco salmon. Both delish but I think the Southie was the winner for me-

We also got the bim bam bop. It was so good I forgot to take a photo!

“Fresh and tasty! Great meal option.“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“Yume Ga Arukara is a Japanese udon shop located in the heart of Boston's Seaport District, expanding from its other location in the Cambridge area.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, there is typically a longer line at this location so they take your order ahead of time and when you're seated, it comes out quite quickly.

The udon is quite good as well. The broth is flavorful, and the noodles are quite tasty and chewy as well. The extra ingredients go well with the noodles and broth, and the portions are good for the price.“

“Great food and great service!! Loved it here!!“

“The food is fabulosooooo .“

“Deluxe Sashimi Platter ⭐️ It was great! It's really fresh and there are a lot of varieties, except for the sea urchin, which is a bit fishy Octopus Carpaccio ⭐️ The seasoning is very refreshing and the octopus is very chewy, I love it Torched Japanese Scallop ⭐️ It was very light, I couldn't really taste the seasoning, but it was very tender Unagi Don ⭐️ A friend ordered this. Gyu Don + Onsen Egg ⭐️ The beef is very juicy and the onsen egg is very flavorful“

“Love the place, especially Kevin, the bartender. Good service, friendly atmosphere, this is where we celebrate friends birthdays and other celebrations“

“Great udon. Pad Thai. Hibachi. Not slathered in corn starch salty sauces like most Asian restaurants in the area. The shrimp , beef and chicken were better than other places we have tried. Highly recommend.“

“The shrimp tempura sushi burrito with the spicy mayo was delicious. Fresh and quick. We will definitely be back!“

“Wonderful neighborhood business. Great sushi. Order perfect every time. Good value. Clean facility. Kind staff. Easy meal. Support your local small business.“

“the downside is the delivery charges cost $7 so I can't order regularly too expensive“

“Great food for a great price. Everything from the sushi to the ramen was spot on. Staff were super friendly we will definitely be coming back.“

“We enjoyed 4 rolls we had here last night. We love sushi rolls, so we find a sushi place whenever we travel.
Rolls here are tasty- fresh ingredients, good flavor, good texture, and good looking. Rolls here have ideal rice to fish ratio- as little rice as possible, generously stuffed n topped.
Service was good- appropriately attentive and courteous.
Atmosphere is fine - cozy, low key, local hangout vibe.
We will be back next time we are in town.“

“The taste is very good, the service is very good“

“Yum!😀 Everything was great!“

“Good food, friendly staff, fair price. Not something I got from any other food place at Fanueil Hall.

We got the chicken teriyaki, with vegetables, and noodles.

Chicken and noodles were awesome! Some of the vegetables were on the cold side, which is my only complaint.

Employees were very friendly and you tell they cared about their customers.

Definitely will get food from there again on our next visit.“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“We had such a great time learning how to shuck oysters! Everyone was so friendly, nice and knowledgeable. Would definitely go back again and have already recommended to others!“

“This Gachi location is tucked away, small and cramped—yet still a decent atmosphere. On a recent visit, I remember being impressed with how fresh and tasty my food was. Not particularly my favorite cuisine, but as far as airport food goes, this restaurant does well, imo.“

“I really like this place. Good service and fast. The food is always fresh. I do the hibachi and get either filet mignon, New York Strip, or teriyaki chicken. The fried rice is awesome and I've never been disappointed with anything I order. Portions are good I'm always stuffed walking out. Also, their fried ice cream is bomb.“

“I ordered the combo 1 with black pepper chicken and rice. The black pepper chicken was really good though possibly too sweet for what is expected. The rice is rice pilaf which I found strange at an Asian place. Over all decent. The people working there were great, friendly, and very fast.“

“Just want to give a shout out to Osaka Lucky Garden. They were very accommodating and patient with my nana in a wheelchair ♿️ (Even when we came through the wrong entrance for that, when the rear has handicap access and parking). Also with my child that got impatient towards the end. They even helped with having my grandmother navigate through the back entrance once we were done with our meal. Big kudos!!“

“Love them. Highly recommend the spicy eel coconut maki.“

“I wanted some dumplings this late in the evening and I can't complain. It was delicious, you can't beat the price for the portion and amount you receive. I'd have to say for a late night eatery I'd come here again. I had the shumai (Cantonese style) and it was good. Also, I've ordered the beef braised noodles I'd say it's average but what can I say. Portions and taste was solid. I'd recommend it for late eateries for dumplings I haven't tried much of the other options but first time here. I had a good experience!“

“Love this place great food and service“

“wonderful simple good food.“

“Came here to try the new bubble tea line. The new favors were brown sugar, ube milk, Thai milk and matcha milk . We also grabbed the Fenway special and spicy Hawaiian. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The drinks were all Delicious. They came with matcha boba balls and brown sugar boba balls. My favorite definitely the ube milk. The Fenway Special was so spectacular. All the ingredients just went well together. The spicy mayo was definitely clutch on it. The spicy Hawaiian was a well balance of flavors and textures. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny for the quality. Definitely, will be back to get my poke bowl fix.“

“Ive been looking for decent teriyaki bowl places around Boston. Many places have sushi in addition to teriyaki bowls. This place just does teriyaki bowls at a decent price and pretty tasty. They have a limited menu, so you cannot get lost in the items. Had a beef and shrimp teriyaki bowl with some rice and was good. For the quality, price, and taste, I give it a 5/5. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve never been let down here, not once. I’ve made special requests based on specific sushi ingredients I’ve loved from this spot, and they’ve delivered. Their fish is fresh, and of great quality. Their service is consistently quick and delivers exactly what you want with no BS. Best of all, their sushi chef is a silent badass that will make you the most unreal rolls you’ve ever tasted. Trust them and enjoy yourself!“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Went Gere with my friends family. Food was very good , atmosphere was very good . I liked that you saw all different people in here. AS I LOOKED AROUND EVERYONE was having a good time. It was really nice to see this. Alot of varieties for food choice. I really enjoyed the food .I belive I had 3 plates. Yes I'm greedy. Same with the people I was with. They even had ice cream and freshly made sushi. Soooooo good. I'm not from here, from NY. All week that I have been here they have been taking me to buffets. This is the second one that's really really good. Loved it. Even the people that work here smile and make conversations with others. Looked like to me there were a couple of regulars because I heard the waitress say to another customer how is ur daughter?. I really wish I could come back and now I left so stuffed. We all did. Thank you to all employees. Thank you for your hard work.“

“Absolutely mind blowing!!!!!!!
Best Chinese food out there!!! Definitely the best Chinese I’ve had! Food was delicious and came out fast and service was amazing. If I could give more stars I would. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re craving Chinese and the expecting fresh, hot, and delicious food!“

“Wow! I've seen this restaurant name often but never tried it until today. I don't know what I was waiting for because this dish was AMAZING 🤩 I got the white meat Chicken Teriyaki All Day Special with plain Lo Mein Noodles.. I can see why the place is called Teriyaki Yummy because this might have been the best Asian meal I've ever had! Will be ordering again very soon. 😋“

“Today, my wife told me that she wanted to have some good Chinese food, so we decided to explore a good Chinese restaurant. We came across a restaurant called The Dumpling Garden in Saugus, and we went there to try their food. It was the best experience we’ve had so far. I fully recommend it, and the staff there is very friendly. You should definitely go and try it!“
