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

“The service was pretty fast and it was pretty cozy. The staff are really nice and the menus are really cute. Would definitely go here from time to time. They have cheap options and they have really exotic options if you want to budget or really go off for the night I had the boneless broth cause I just wanted to get in and out and the broth when I did put it in, I had never tasted a broth so flavorful before it was really good definitely would recommend“

“I initially only went for the matcha collab/pop-up hosted at this location, but ended up trying one of their bowls and it’s safe to say I will be back. The manager, Matt, was friendly and helpful as I decided what to add to my bowl. Everything from the kale Caesar salad to the chicken and the cilantro rice was delicious and well-balanced. Oh and the sauces were super yummy. 10/10, no notes. Will be back. Thanks Matt and Dig Inn team!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and the popcorn chicken is the GOAT. The chicken cutlet was fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were surprisingly good too. The owner makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you excited to come back and bring friends along!“

“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!“

“Such good food for a great price! The drunken crazy noodles and duck noodle soup were so so so good, absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and the interior was calm and simply decorated. We visited early on a weeknight but almost didn’t get a table since we didn’t have a reservation, so plan ahead!“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“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.“

“Restaurant is has cozy and chill vibe. Staff is very friendly. The Biang Biang noodles are the star of the show! Super flavorful and great dough texture, taste very homemade. Meat pie is good too, almost as good as in China. The garlic crawfish bursts with flavor, they make it fresh from live crawfish so take a little more time. The pork belly with preserved veggie is way too sweet but meat is super tender so I took it home and ran it through hot water bath twice to get it to be less sweet😅“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Very fresh ingredients. Grab and go sushi plus freshly made sushi. Crispy, refreshing Moshi sparkling Yuzu. Decent portion for a reasonable price. Friendly and accommodating staff. All utensils neatly provided. Outlets at tables for convenient phone/device charging. Plentiful poke bowls too. 10/10. Go there.“

“Bangkok Bento is a cozy Thai restaurant that blends Thai dishes with sushi, giving it a slightly different feel from a traditional Thai spot. The space has a warm and comfortable atmosphere with a smaller dining room that feels more intimate, making it a nice option for casual dinners or meeting up with friends. The mix of Thai food and sushi also makes it a good choice when a group wants different types of dishes without having to pick just one cuisine.

The menu has a wide range of Thai classics, noodles, curries, and sushi options. The pad thai is a solid choice with a good balance of peanut flavor and sauce, while the drunken noodles bring more bold flavors with a slightly savory and spicy profile. The khao soi stands out as one of the more interesting dishes, with a rich curry broth and noodles paired with crispy chicken for a nice contrast in textures. The crispy duck mango curry is another highlight, combining sweet mango flavors with the richness of the curry and crispy duck. Portions are generous, so it’s easy to order a few dishes and share.

The appetizers and desserts also add a lot to the experience. The mango sticky rice is a great way to finish the meal, especially when the mango is fresh and sweet. Drinks like Thai tea are a nice pairing, though sweetness levels can vary depending on what you order. The sushi side of the menu gives the restaurant more variety, though the Thai dishes feel like the stronger focus.

Service is friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience feels relaxed. The restaurant has a comfortable pace that works well for a sit-down meal rather than a quick bite. The staff helps create a casual neighborhood feel, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a longer meal.

Overall, Bangkok Bento is a great option when you’re looking for flavorful Thai food in a comfortable setting with plenty of variety. Between the noodles, curries, crispy dishes, and desserts, there’s enough on the menu to keep coming back and trying something new. It’s especially good for groups where everyone wants something different.“

“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’ve been coming here for close to 4 years. I used to live down the street but now make the 35 minute commute from Ashland just to get the food here.

The chicken pad Thai, seafood drunken noodles, red curry, and so many things are UNMATCHED. The service is always quick and extremely friendly.

Would recommend everyone to come here for take out or dine in.“

“Great Korean fusion spot in Seaport. Between the three of us, we shared the chopped cheese rice cakes, General Lee’s fried chicken, and the OG Broccolini, and it was more than enough food. The chopped cheese rice cakes were the standout dish and an absolute must-order.

The only downside was the outdoor seating. We were hoping to enjoy the nice weather outside, but there were noticeable fumes above the patio area that detracted from the experience. Aside from that, the food was excellent and we’d definitely come back. Despite that minor issue, the food was creative, flavorful, and memorable enough that we’d gladly return.“

“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!!“

“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 !“

“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!“

“Such a great spot! We came here while visiting the area and loved everything we ordered. The food was incredibly fresh, the flavors were amazing, and the service couldn't have been better. Between the amazing food and great hospitality, this was easily our favorite meal of the trip. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“YGF Malatang is a build your own malatang restaurant located right outside of Symphony Hall or the Newbury Street area.

The staff are friendly and pump out orders quickly. One downside is the sauce bar is not take-out, or there weren't any sauce containers available to use.

The choices are clearly labeled with a wide range of meats and vegetables in the assortment. It is pretty easy to build the bowl and get to a pricy amount, but we got a pretty good portion for 2 people under $30. The malatang soup base is pretty flavorful though not that spicy.“

“I picked up my food and then the called me to tell me there was meat in the rice in case I didn’t know. I am vegetarian and he told me to come back and he made me fresh fried rice with no meat. Fabulous customer service, i will definitely be back“

“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.“

“Love the food but their delivery is getting worse and worse. If you order before 5 p.m. it is nice if it can be delivered by 6:30 pm (especially if that is the window they promised). Did all we can to keep this place open during the pandemic but may need to start looking elsewhere for our family's sushi fix. VERY disappointed about their service.“

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

“Absolutely excellent sushi and bento boxes. Probably the best I've had in Massachusetts. I've been going for years. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is excellent as well and very quiet and easy to talk in. It's a hidden gem.“

“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.“

“Amazon food every time. Buffet is fresh and hot and always changes“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

“I was in the area to do an errand and needed to get some quick takeout.

This was some of the best sushi I have had in years. Nicely seasoned rice, perfect avocado, just all-in-all stellar quality.

I ordered all more plain items (salmon/avo, spicy tuna, hamachi sashimi, etc) but look forward to trying some special rolls in the future!“

“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 🎶“
