“Okay, our new favorite Sichuan restaurant! We’ve been a couple of times now, and the flavors are amazing. All of the dishes that we’ve tried have been great - both in taste and value. Mapo tofu, spicy fish fillet, clay pot eggplant and pork to name a few. Highly recommended!”

2 Angel Tea

331 Moody Street, Waltham

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“I stopped by on a Sunday and a following Saturday, and had a nice visit both times. The atmosphere was cozy, with some nice jazzy music playing in the shop, and between my visits I tried three different drinks. A Strawberry Sparkle, an Oreo Milk Slush (my favorite of the three), and a Taro Milk Tea w/ Mango Popping Bubbles. I also had a Chicken Katsu Noodles dish, and a Oreo Towel Cake Roll to eat, and everything was good and tasty. As for what to expect inside, the tea shop has a two kiosks you can order from, or you can go up to the counter to place your order instead if you like. There is a good amount of seating available in the main area, and a side-hall with some additional seating and the restroom at the end. If you choose dine-in they'll bring out your food and drinks to you in nice glasses and bowls on a tray, and if you want take-out they've got the usual bubble tea cups and containers you'd expect for things like the drinks and food so you can easily take things to go. I quite liked the place and the folks running it were very friendly, so I will no doubt be visiting it again.”

3 Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant (Waltham)

4.1 Good 265 Reviews

835 Main Street, Waltham

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“The price to quality ratio is very good, the only thing better would be the Costco $5 chicken. Lunch specials run $11 or $13 and comes with a bowl of rice. While other restaurants in general load the meal up with fillers, such as breads, beans or rice, the ratio here is the other way around. There is 2X or 3x of the dish, relative to starch. Comes with tea, picked vegetables and dry peanuts”

They are all soooo good. Have never eaten at the restaurant, always done delivery.”

14 Warren Street, Waltham

• Delivery

“I'm a longtime veggie crust customer, but this was my first time trying out their Waltham location, and they did not disappoint! Stopped in to pick up a vegan sausage onion and pepper pizza and it was fantastic. I had ordered it well done and they cooked it perfectly. The two guys who were working this past Monday were friendly and welcoming to my son and I. The pizza was ready on time and tasted great. I would've uploaded a picture of the full pizza, but I ate half of it on the drive home, because it was that good lol. 10/10 would definitely recommend the waltham location. 🍕”

• Take-Out

“Honestly has been my go to for the past 3 years. This place slaps every time I get it. Prices are great, portion sizes are generous, and taste is good. Highly recommend the pork fried rice. Obviously not something mind blowing but, for the price, they don’t skimp on the meat and you can really taste the wok hei. Also one of the few places open past midnight so great for college students.”

“I’ve been coming here for 9 years and I don’t know why I haven’t thought of writing a review until now but Asia Wok is consistently good with great portions and service. Open late as well. Best Chinese take-out in the area by far.”

10 KungFu MalaTang

4.8 Superb 463 Reviews

155 Brighton Avenue, Allston · 5.53 miles

• Delivery

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)”

• Take-Out

“Excellent food and a very enjoyable meal at Kung Fu Kitchen! We tried several dishes and were very happy with everything we ordered. The wonton soup was especially good. The wontons were large, with visible shrimp in each one, and the soup was loaded with fresh vegetables. Very satisfying and flavorful. The chive pancake was another highlight—filled with chives, egg, glass noodles, and dried shrimp. It tasted authentic and was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the steamed and pan-fried dumplings. The restaurant is clean, bright, and modern. Service wasn’t the greatest, but for this type of casual, fast-paced restaurant, it was totally acceptable. Overall, the quality and authenticity of the food really impressed me. Definitely a 5/5, and I would happily come back!”

“Found this place on Google & Pinterest. So glad we gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was sweet and delicious, we had pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls, hot tea, fried rice and kimchi. It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.”

• Take-Out

“Very friendly, family-owned restaurant with many wheat based dishes! The combination of lamb roujiamo and liangpi was excellent. The liangpi has sesame paste and is a bit more sour than other liangpi I’ve tasted, but balances out with the cumin and saltiness of the lamb. The veggie buns seemed like they were commercially bought rather than homemade, and were filling. Will definitely try other dishes next time.”

“It's not the 'hot pot' that you normally think of. The 'soup dish' comes in a huge bowl with a warmer underneath. And oh the ingredients are SO fresh. We had the fish pot with bean curd and lotus root. The fish was cooked just right!! The side dishes were fantastic as well. We had the fried milk and marinated black fungus. All phenomenal. Very creative and tasty. The place is small and very clean. We plan to go back to try out all of the side dishes!! Very worthwhile gastronomical experience.”

22 I Fresh Noodle

4.4 Superb 142 Reviews

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“The restaurant has about 10 tables and serves different types of noodles. Sometimes at dinner time, you have to wait a bit, but the employees try to clear people out quickly, and they can usually accommodate larger groups by pushing tables together. This restaurant encourages you to order on a QR code, brings your food to you, and has an employee collect payment at your table. I don't like soup noodles, so I basically only get the dry ones, but those are good. They can be pretty spicy, but they have quite a few vegetables, meat chunks, and the texture of the noodles is good. I definitely enjoy coming here!”

“The pan fried buns is a must get! The lady makes it in the front window so you know it's fresh. We dined in and was served in take out containers which is fine, makes it easier to bring leftovers home. Parking is limited in front of the restaurant, it is paid street parking and may be hard to find since its surrounded by residential parking only.”

“This review is long overdue, but this is a great Thai small business to support. The place is cozy [with seasonal outdoor seating] and the staff is always warm. The Drunken noodles are my go-to and it is a generous portion of noodles AND protein...for the most part. I strongly discourage paying extra for extra protein as I paid $3 for EXTRA protein and received 3 small shrimp. This seems to be a trend as I have ordered DN at two other places and the extra fee was not reflected in the portion delivered. But Mae does deliver consistently outside of this.”

The sauce bar is customizable and free with a meal. My friend and I loved the selection of toppings and will definitely be back. There is usually a wait list in the evening and they don’t take reservations ahead of time, so go early and put your number/name in!”

“This is easily my new favorite in Brookline. The rice is cooked very well, with a crispy layer around the edges of the clay pot that’s lightly browned and crunchy which is exactly what you want to look for in clay pot rice. Sue recommended mixing the beef brisket with Chinese sausage into the rice, and it was amazing. The vibe is cozy and casual, great for a relaxed dinner, and the prices are a genuinely great value for the quality and portion size. This place has been open about a year now and deserves way more attention, highly recommend!”

“Food was decent, but the value just wasn’t there for us. Two people ordered a half-and-half broth, one beef & lamb combo, tripe, crispy pork, fried rice, and sauce bar — no drinks, seafood, or dessert. The total came to about $110 after tax and tip. We didn’t order much at all, and for hot pot we basically only had two plates of food to cook, so $55 per person felt pretty expensive for what we got. Nothing was particularly bad, but at this price point I expected either larger portions or a more memorable experience. There are quite a few hot pot options around Boston where $50+ per person goes a lot further.”

I think Tahiti is gross now, and PuPu has went above and beyond. Check out my pfp. The food has full rich Chinese flavors, and the portions are huge! After the 3 of us finished, we had enough food leftover for 2 more full meals for us. And we all know leftover Chinese food is the best. Keep it up, Buddy!!”

“A rare find of semi-authentic northern Chinese cuisine in a non-descript mini strip mall on a “highway”. IFor a suburban Chinese restaurant, this is a standout for sure. The noodles (a specialty) are very well made with the right chew. The dumplings are tasty and juicy. Eggplant, a favorite veg, is well done without being too greasy. Some of the dishes lack the expected Maala, but that’s not surprising considering the palate they are catering to. If you are in the metro west area, this is definitely deserves a visit.”

“There was a moment where I genuinely spaced out and thought I was just back in a small casual restaurant somewhere in China. It makes me wonder whether places like this even expect to serve non Chinese speakers. The food is great, the price is reasonable, and more people really should try this type of service and cooking. At the same time, the whole space feels like it runs on its own reality and rhythm. In that sense, writing this entire review in English might not even make sense, because non Chinese speakers reading reviews like this might still choose not to come here. Anyway, this contradiction and the parallel pocket reality are part of the experience itself.”
