“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices“

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

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“Came early on a Monday, shortly after opening. Greeted promptly, sat immediately, food came out within minutes. Coffee was good, shumai were great, and really enjoyed the broth in the soup. Looking forward to trying some other things in the future!“

“Darling was exceptional this evening! Everything we ordered was amazing. Our server, Sailor was kind, attentive and had great suggestions. The Owner, Chen, was so great to stop by our table. We really enjoyed chatting with him. Just an awesome restaurant from start to finish. Great people, great atmosphere, great food. We will be back!“

“It was our first time visiting Grandma’s Kitchen. We arrived 5 minutes early Friday evening and there was a short line already. There are only a handful of tables so it’s worth coming early to get seating right away.

We tried the popcorn chicken, bean curd, chicken cutlet, braised beef noodle, spicy wonton, and salted pork chop. The fried chicken dishes were definitely the standouts. The chicken cutlet was especially well seasoned and flavored. The beef noodle broth was also quite good. The spicy wontons were solid but didn’t wow me. The salted pork chop I thought was a little tough. I would order the fried chicken dishes and beef noodle again in a heartbeat but probably not the wontons or salted pork chop.

The service was on point and the server was very friendly. There atmosphere was very nice. It was relatively quiet and very open which was a nice change from many places that are super loud and pack people in like sardines.

Definitely worth a try and I look forward to coming back.“

“Nice and chill environment.“

“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.“

“I ordered take out and the food was fresh and delicious! My first time trying sticky mango and I absolutely loved it!“

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️“

“Green curry was fresh and delicious and the Thai basil rice , not heavy in oil but looks of flavor. Especially for New Year’s Eve. Everything taste very good and fresh.“

“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!“

“The food at Fuji is outstanding. Far and away the best fusion Japanese food in Newton and around.“

“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.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“King Do has recently moved to a new location, and the space is now much larger, cleaner, and more airy. The menu still offers a wide variety of options, and the food remains just as delicious and affordable as before. The highlights for me are definitely the pennywort drink and the mung bean milk—both are refreshing and a must-try.“

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!“

“Very busy during meal times especially on Friday night! I would personally avoid ordering more than three or four items for pick up when it's really busy as I have had items left out. I am sure they are more careful with online orders. The biang biang noodles are so yummy, but watch out if you have blood sugar control issues. Carb BOMB. The food seems to be all very oily also but that's the nature of some of their most delicious offerings like chili oil splashed noodles. My kids always ask for House of Noodles whenever they come to town. They were born and raised in Hong Kong so have had their fair share of good noodles and this ranks right up there and makes them miss Hong Kong just a little less.“

“I got the Bulgogi Shaved Steak on a rice bun... very yummy and hit the spot! 😋“

“The place was very clean, the staff was very friendly, the food came out very quickly, and it was very delicious. Staff checked up on us frequently and gave us constant attention. Bathrooms were very clean. Regarding other reviews, their was no bugs seen or any pins found in the food, overall 9.5 experience.“

“AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE!! The Mongolian Beef is incredible!!!!“

“I loved the beef tataki and spring roll!! I will definitely be going back!“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. I was craving raw salmon so much and this place gives me the most generous amount of salmon for my bowl🍣🩵🩵 Love the crunchy topping, mango topping, and EVERYTHING. Will come back to dine here again🩷

-Came back and tried the spicy seafood ramen. IT WAS SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend!“

“never had a bad bite here. Their ramen is killer. Tiny place, but worth waiting for a table!“

“This casual restaurant has good, interesting food at reasonable prices. It specializes in bowls of rice, vegetables, and meat or meatless protein. A variety of different combinations and flavors are offered. Also popular is bubble tea, which comes in various flavors with a choice of standard taro, lychee, or popping boba. You will find this a refreshing change from typical causal eateries.“

“We’ve been here multiple times, both for takeout and dine-in and the food is always outstanding and fresh. We’ve tried many different things on the menu, both sushi and Chinese food and everything is great. There is no reason to try any other restaurant- we’ve found our go-to place!!“

“I think people that are complaining here are overly privileged and don't appreciate the little things let me tell you why. I'm not saying there feelings don't matter but I am struggling in this state, and can't cook at the moment so to get some "nutrients I ordered a pizza from here that would have garlic, parsley etc and I instantly felt better! The pizzas were so good. As someone who lost a lot of family, I'm not going to bicker about pizza. I thought it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the medium size and it had lots of cheese. We will order from yall again thank you for your service!“

“Great experience. Ordered the sashimi bowl and it was an amazing about of food for the price. I wpuld have preferred only salmon (i guess i could have built my own) but the flavors in the pre-constructed bowl were so perfect i’m glad i went with that.

I liked how the inside of the store was spacious and not too busy. I was able to bring my stroller in no problem“

“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!“

“Super delicious food and fresh ingredients! It's a small menu, but everything is very well curated. I highly recommend the shrimp taco, cheese rice cake, and the legendary burger. Most importantly, a HUGE shout-out to the manager, Valley—a very nice and warm guy who listens and caters to all your needs. Thank you!“

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!“

“We stopped by for lunch before a hike and had an amazing experience. We ordered the jungle curry, basil fried rice with shrimp, and fresh spring rolls—all of which were outstanding. The dipping sauce for the spring rolls and the flavorful fried rice were particular highlights.
​The service was warm and attentive, and the space was clean, spacious, and well-maintained (even the restrooms were pristine!). Highly recommended for a satisfying meal!“

“Neat & looks well maintained. Good to enjoy the food with friends - be brave, give yourself the option to try out more good food!

In a nutshell (and more importantly), serves good HK style food and dim sum; definitely worth a return trip.“

“As always an excellent meal! Mike makes great sushi, and kitchen chefs do great things as well. Its one of our regular places.“

“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 !“

“Honestly, I love this place when it first opened! My friend and I became obsessed with the dumplings and literally joked about how we dreamed of them once a month for our shared double date night. Recently, we went back for our monthly date night and the menu has totally changed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very good. But I beg of you to please bring back the dumplings!“

“Food were delicious and customer service was a plus. My hubby is very picky when it comes to restaurants food but yesterday he ate all his food and said your place was great just the salmon was a little bit dry. I will suggest a little play of soft music 🎶“

“The food is the best, excellent portions one dinner is 2 meals! Always accommodating, even create a special dish not on menu! Owner very friendly! I have been going there for years through different owners but this owner and staff are the best!“

“This place is always our go to when ordering Thai food in Boston area. Their soup, noodles, fried rice and curries everything is nicely and freshly made. The Masaman curry and Basil Fried Rice were the standout and tasted delicious🔥the only thing i liked less was the fried tofu in the curry or rice or noddles. Rather liked the steamed tofu more. But will definitely recommend ordering from this place“

“Wide variety of very good food BUT, unless you speak Chinese, ordering by phone or even online is AGONY. They should hire a fluent high school kid.“

“Great sushi Great service“

“this place is such a cute, amazing spot hidden behind a parking lot. Absolutely loved the food, came back for more. This will be my sushi/poke bowl take out spot from now on. The gentleman in the register is so sweet and made great suggestions. Such a nice atmosphere. Food taste so fresh, and yummy.
They don’t disappoint!!“

“We ordered one chicken soup base and one tomato soup base, and the were both good. The dining space was a bit small, and the walls and floors look somewhat dated tho.

Overall, it's good location and variety choices, and balanced taste Malatang.“

“I was impressed with everything! It was my first time trying ramen that didn’t come from my house and after being skeptical for so long I actually loved it! The service was amazing, the food was delicious - I tried the spicy ramen with chicken … and I definitely will be going back soon!!“

“Great newer option in the area - got delivery
. Shengjian bao was juicy and fresh. So often you get dried out filling but not here. Beef chow fun was also a standout - the noodles were great and the beef pieces were big.

Orange chicken was good - actual charred orange peel in it.

Rangoons were triangle shape with a little crimp, which for me has a little too much filling, and seems like they use cilantro in their filling (not a cilantro person). Cooked well, just less my style.

Next time I want to go in person to try the xiao long bao, salt and pepper pork chop and all the other stuff that doesn’t travel as well. The menu looks great.“

“Rice was great, a bit bland but plenty of shrimp, veggies, pork, chicken etc.
The general tsaos chicken though????? Among the best I’ve ever had.. not just soggy breaded chicken. Crispy, juicy pieces of chicken in a yummy sauce served with plenty of broccoli. I wish I’d gotten pictures.
Delivery was slow, took over an hour to get to me despite being a 7-8 minute drive, however my food arrived fresh and hot.“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“
