    Braised pork
    Lilian W.

    We loved every dish we got! The food was hot, fresh, and tasty. We ordered with the QR code and our food came out pretty quick.

    The food was delicious, friendly service, dishes came out very fast. Northern Chinese cuisine. All the dishes we order was delicious, west lake beef soup, braise pork ribs, braise fish filet,!pork & chives dumplings , Szechuan slice pork with veg and Aries fried rice. You need to scan the bar code on the table to access the menu and then the order via the internet. Limited 2hr street parking, there is a small municipal parking for $2.00 to cover 2hr parking.

    Lan Zhou Hand-Pulled Noodle

    For a long time I didn't want to write a review because I wanted to gate keep my comfort food spot but after like 5 years, here yall go. Aries noodles has some of the most authentic and amazing quality Chinese food in all of Massachusetts. Even when I think to my travels to the west coast, it rivals the restaurants in America's first ever Chinatown located in sam Francisco. We've tried many of their dishes over the years and love each one. Our go to is of course the lan zhou beef noodles. If I were to take away any points from this place, all I can say is that the noodles used to be hand pulled but I've noticed a change in the noodles and that might not be the case anymore. Great meat cuts. It is authentic Chinese food so there are non-traditional meat options. The menu is translated in English so you do know what you are ordering..

    Food: food is very salty Service: front desk person is super rude and aggressive Came here couple of times and would never come again

    solid hole in the wall chinese spot. highly recommend the potstickers, beef soup, and tofu and pork. flavors are delicious and the service was good. the older man helped us with extra plates and napkins. we ordered 6 dishes and barely had space on our table for our own, tiny plates. wish they were bigger or that we were at a bigger table.

    Lanzhou beef noodle soup
    John Y.

    We tried this restaurant this weekend. Its conveniently located in Waltham Square, right next to Moody St and Main St intersection. There is a parking lot right next to this place, but it costs money. Don't park there as Main st has plenty of free parking. The restaurant looks pretty clean and every single customer was asian, so this place has to be good. And it was good. I had the sizzly chicken in brown sauce, which is a perfect combo of sweet and savory with boneless chicken. This dish remains hot due to the sizzling bowl, and I caved and just dumped my rice in there (it got a little on the salty side though). The 2 noodle dishes were good too. The lanzhou beef noodles tastes like pho. The spicy beef soup was decent. I like the oversized bowls and the spoons that sit on the edge of your bowls. This place has very little interaction between the staff and customers. Could be a bad thing or good thing. They greeted us, let us sit anywhere and said order via the app by scanning the code at the table. That was fine, but we had to flag someone down when I had to ask if my chicken in brown sauce comes with rice or not (it didn't). I also asked if they have the chinese crepes that I see in the Yelp photos (they do not). The crepes are offered next door at ozone, which is owned by the same owner. I wonder why not just create an opening in the kitchen between the 2 places and let folks get some boba and crepes? Back to the menu....It did seem like most of us had to order off of the app....but when leaving the restaurant, I noticed one table had an actual menu. I'm wondering if perhaps they are having the "americanized" asian crowd order off the app vs letting the more "traditional" asians order off a different menu? Just my own curiosity. The food was good, but not so much that it blew me away or was it special. The prices are ok...or a little tad on the expensive side, but still okay with me. The place is clean. The people are friendly if you happen to interact. Parking is easy on main street or at the lot next door.

    TLDR: baller Chinese food Loved my food here. Every dish hit what I was hoping for. I got the cold chili chicken appetizer which had the right amount of spice and bite and flavor with incredibly tender chicken pieces. The chili white fish was also delectably soft with the perfect amount of heat. The beef noodle soup comes in a huge bowl with plenty of medicinal flavor - though I do wish it had some vegetables inside as well. Really glad I came here and planning on coming back!

    Cold Port Knuckle In Jelly
    Bichen Z.

    The Aries is definitely one of my regular places to have lunch and dinner. It is actually not a big restaurant with magnificent interior design, but the food is extremly good. The price is fair. You probably won't go wrong with ordering there. The texture of the noodles is extraordinary. A few cuisine received less attention but is highly recommended as you barely find it other places: 1) Aries Roasted Chicken Carcass 2) Cold Port Knuckle In Jelly 3) Smoked & Grilled Lamb Chop 4) Health-Preserving Lamb Pot. There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant, which is so convenient. Lastly but not the least, you may receive extra discount if you pay in cash.

    Great ambiance and nice background music. The food was very authentic and affordable. The service did get busy during lunch rush however but we weren't in a hurry. Highly recommend!

    10 Piece Steamed Dumpling
    Ronny T.

    A find for good noodles and dumplings. Lots to choose from on the menu and they all look authentic. Service was efficient and attentive. We had the black bean noodles, gyoza dumplings, and the steamed dumplings. They were all delicious. I don't come to Waltham much anymore, but will be sure to stop by again when I'm in town. Get some good eats here!

    Overall a good experience. Order your meal through the app directly. Tuesday night was quiet and has plenty of space in the restaurant. Price is decent with generous portion

Two stars only because the venue was mostly empty (which is a sign the place probably sucks and its in business just because company lunches around the area; and that we got a semi-private area to sit. Waltham doesnt have great sushi venues, but this wont I would avoid - not worth effort, money, ambience, or experience. Not recommended.

This prompted us to look for alternatives...Fins in Waltham was open and taking orders and allowed us to get the Sushi on time. We tried it. We ordered the large boat raw and maki raw. $160 worth of sushi. The order was prepared quickly for pick up. There is a bunch of off street parking. The restaurant has about 8 various sized tables in side and a bar that seats probably another 6 or 7. The place looks clean and modern. The lone worker was pleasant and friendly. The order was correct and packaged well. Compared to Super Fusion in Watertown: 1. We usually order the party platter from Super Fusion as well, but it does cost like $20-$30 more at Super Fusion. However, they do give you more sushi...but no miso soup included anymore. 2. The family agrees that Super Fusion tastes better. I also noticed the sashimi was larger from Super Fusion. 3. One family member spat out a small piece of bone in their sushi from Fin's. This never happened at the other place, and we've gone to them for many years. 4. Fin's is more generous with providing enough wasabi and soy sauce when we asked for extra. 5. Fin's looks a lot more modern and fancy...they are in fact a newer establishment in the area. The free off street parking matters as well, as you only get street meters for Super Fusion. While we're glad to give a new place a try, and the sushi is not bad, we think Super Fusion is better. My kid and her friends frequently go to Fin's due to convenience and thats perfectly fine. I hope they stay around for a long time, as having options and competition is good. I'm thankful they were open and taking orders on Christmas Day, and I was served with a smile. Thank you!
