“What a lovely charming shop! The owner and my wife began chatting in cantonese! She made our baby a smoothie, we chatted with regulars about summer movies for half an hour, and I drank my strawberry lemonade. Brilliant shop! Bonus: Genuine asian snacks on the side and rear walls. A must see.“

“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.“

“Let me start out by saying BEST HONEYDEW MILK TEA EVER!! Seriously, I have tried A LOT of milk tea in my day and what I ordered from sweet boba was the best milk tea I’ve had hands down. I am so excited that Sweet Boba is here! The staff is so kind and it’s such a nice experience. I will definitely be going here a lot!“
“So Happy Lemon in general is an amazing chain but this store has one of the best employees I have ever encountered in any customer service sector. I feel like he is criminally underpaid for how amazing he treats everyone that walks through their door.“

“Esmai’s offers the perfect place for both events and intimate dinners. I’ve used this wonderful restaurant for both. They have a roomy downstairs bar that was perfect for hosting my book launch party. They also have an open upstairs dining area with a breathtaking view that is perfect for drinks with friends or intimate dinners for 2. Their appetizers are brilliant: we’ve loved the Brussel sprouts and the Vietnamese Eggrolls. I also really enjoyed the Pappardelle Pasta: the meat was so tender, the pasta was silky and chewy, and the sauce was savory and tangy. My partner had the BBH Bahn Mi and raved over the taste. We love the blended texture and flavors of Esmai’s dishes.“

“I love this place. They make their boba with real fruit. The passiontfruit green tea is the most amazing thing with chewy bubbles and crunchy passionfruut seeds. The fruit overload has berry, lychee and passionfruut in green tea and it's so pretty I don't eve. want to drink it! They also have mochi donuts with are really good also. Its a very reasonable price for the quality. Definitely recommend.“

“Everytime I am in Boston, I always make sure to swing by this amazing boba place!! Never too crowded, and they always have a ton of customizations available. Since other boba places get more foot traffic, this one is quieter in comparison, depending on what time of day you come in. Big fan of their thai milk tea!“

“The teas are so clean tasting, you can tell it’s the real deal from the first sip. The multi floral honey tea, passion fruit green tea, and pineapple green tea were all so delicious. I could drink them all day!“

“M&J Teriyaki is a cute restaurant which I highly recommend if you’re in the area! They offer both dine-in and takeout and have, frankly a very nice atmosphere. The food too was really amazing (I recommend the chicken in particular) and the drinks are also very nice. I enjoyed the flavor of the strawberry smoothie.
I personally went right after having visited the MFA and so, if you’re on the lookout for a bit to eat after a museum visit then please consider it!“

“This hidden gem is located on the Boston University campus more close to the gas station, a Target and a new restaurant called Ziggy’s. They do sell boba but I want to take a moment to show appreciation to their macarons. My personal favorite is the fruity cereal. As you can see, look how pretty it looks and taking a bite it is sweet, satisfying and it just makes you happy. I know for me it made me happy. I believe they do buy it from a third party but it is delicious and worth it. If you look at my first picture they do display their pricing and to be upfront it does show “Buy 5 and get one free” however they do not ring it up like that and ring it up as you bought a total of six macarons. So for me, I could argue if I wanted to but I learned for myself that I’m willing to pay all six and the rest of their flavors (vanilla, birthday cake (both a pink & blue)) are tasty and satisfying. I have tried the dark chocolate macaron and it was okay. If you are one of those people that enjoys dark chocolate but want a subtle sweetness then that one is for you. I have tried their Italian soda (the lemon one to be exact) and it was delicious as well. If you want a “healthy option” they do offer Italian soda and their flavors. On the last picture you can see their drinks, pricing and boba options. My daughter and I enjoy this boba shop and it is welcoming and warm atmosphere. I just wished this establishment was more closer to home but I’m willing to travel.“

“I order from Poke Bowl for my family at least once a week for the past year. My daughters also like the drinks. The quality is great, fresh ingredients, good amount of food at a good price. I used to buy prepared bowls from Wegmans, but this is a way better deal.“

“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!“

“Ten One Tea House is a boba spot that has multiple locations around the Boston area, with a large selection of fruit teas, slushes, and milk teas.
We came during the afternoon on a weekend, and the place was packed but not too overwhelming. There wasn't many staff on hand, but they were still working hard to get boba orders out quickly, and we got ours within 5-10 minutes.
The boba was pretty good, not too sweet or watery, with a good amount of boba that didn't overwhelm the tea. We tried both the brown sugar milk tea and the mango slush. I think the mango slush was the highlight, as the toppings it came with went really well with the drink.
Overall, a great boba shop and place to visit on Newbury Street.“

“The food was very authentic and everything we ordered was really, really tasty! The staff and owner were so kind and even treated us to their milk tea which was also really good! The service was also very fast and we highly recommend!!!“
“This was my first time trying Teazzi, I am not the biggest fan of fruity trendy drinks and a friend recommended me here. I tried the honey amber milk tea. The tea blend is incredibly rich and a great fit for my taste. There are so many options, but the kind blue haired employee at this location was helpful in choosing something that would be within my taste. Would definitely recommended this place if you’re around Newbury.“

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“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.“

“Jennifer, Alex and Deborah we're the best employees I've ever seen, and they gave me the best ice cream that I've ever tasted in my life. They are all very amazing workers. They are all extremely attracted and helped clean my coffe spill with grace alex is amazing and hot.“
“I love Heytea!! I really enjoy their fruit tea and teamix/tea drinks. My top 3 favorites are the Cloud Longjing Milk Tea, Crisp Grape Boom, and the Pistachio Cloud King Jasmine. Some drinks like the coconut mango boom can be very heavy, so I'm not the biggest fan of it.
Despite how busy they are, they make the drinks really quickly. I've gone multiple times and their drinks have been consistent.“

“This place has all the advantages of the Caffe Nero that it used to be without any of the disadvantages. In other word's it's spacious, has a variety of furniture and seating options (equally good spot for solo laptop work, relaxed book time, group meeting), lots of outlets, nice big windows, a great menu with reasonable price point. Compared to before the business turned over the coffee is better (IMO) and cheaper and the place no longer feels depressing in that way that carbon copy coffee franchises do. The people who work here are so nice and there is always a place to sit! In fact it's too easy to find a spot—please visit Cafe Lava and Bento and support this business so that we can keep them around.“

“I come here all the time and boba never disappoints. I’ve tried many others in Boston but this consistently has the best quality and best price. The woman who works here in the evenings is wonderful and takes her time to craft drinks that are perfect. Try the thai iced lime green tea!“

“Pho Viet is one of my favorite spots in Newton Center! The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really tell that they care about the quality of what they serve.
The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the treatment I’ve received every time I’ve visited has always been exceptional. It’s not just a place where you go for good pho—you genuinely feel welcomed and taken care of.
Great food, great service, and an even better atmosphere. I highly recommend giving Pho Viet a try if you’re in Newton Center!“

“Machi Machi has been around for almost a year, and it still attracts a decent crowd every time I have visited, and for good reason.
The interior has no seating, which is sorta detrimental if the place gets crowded or you're waiting a long time for the drink. There is a small area for a photo spot, and also a self-service kiosk as well as a counter to order.
The first few times I went, the drinks took around 15-20 minutes to get, however some times I had to wait longer and other times I waited less.
I've tried multiple drinks from this location. The Panna Cotta drinks are my favorite, although the price point deters me from coming here every time I want a boba. The bottle is a bit smaller than other locations, so the drink does go a bit too quick than my liking, but I also do drink really fast so YMMV.
I would also recommend the Brown Sugar Latte and Creme Brulee Black Tea. I really enjoyed them and their size is more standard to other boba locations.
Overall I really like this place, one of my top choices for Boba in the Boston area.“

“Gong Cha is a worldwide boba chain that has many locations across Massachusetts, what makes this location unique is the presence of a Korean corndog/Mochi Donut store inside it as well. The staff operates both of these stores at the same time, which can make waiting longer if there is multiple people at each store, but I've never had to wait long for boba here.
The boba has been pretty consistent overall in terms of flavor and quality, and I haven't had a bad experience yet.“

“I really enjoyed my dessert here. I think it makes more sense to go with a group and share, because the items are large and $$.. Everything I saw was a fair price for the size. I had a taro ice bowl. I didn't love the shave ice first try, but i froze it and ate it later and it held up. I thought it could have been a bit sweeter, but im also american and I know I probably like things sweeter than most. Service wasn't super fast, but not crazy slow.“

“Definitely a hidden gem in Westwood.
Went for brunch had the lemon green tea with strawberries boba.
Also had the avocado toast topped with a egg, they give you plenty of fresh avocado.
Egg tarts are delicious but recommend going early. The baked goods are a hit with customers buying up a major of them.“
