Jen P.

Ordered 2 combination plates last night and after my bf ate 70% of his plate he finds a cockroach in his rice we immediately stopped eating it and made ourselves throw up the sad part about this is my 8yr old son had eaten and gone to bed hours before it was found so I hope to God my boy didn't eat any roaches smh

beef, broccoli, and rice on a plate

Love there food , always amazing never a problem for me , I have been coming here for years :) I recommend beef and broccoli it's the best

Roast pork wonton soup
David R.

I decided to stop in at a small Chinese joint long forgotten. It is located in downtown Lynn. The last time I was there I guess was over 20 years ago. I am not sure why I haven't stopped in??? I pass it all the time. Well today was the day!! I walked thru the big wood door and it was like I was transported back in time to 1980... The place was exactly the same.. The walls, the ceiling, the furniture and I think the waitress???? I was instructed to find my own table so I sat near the large windows so I could watch the passersby, which in turn were watching me as they passed..lol... I decided to order as I would have back in the day, so I started with a #19 which is a Wonton soup and is available with either Roast Pork or Chicken. I opted for the Roast Pork which was given sparingly along with some peapods, 3 wontons and what I believe was bok choy?? Anyway, the soup was great. It was exactly how I remembered all the Chinese restaurants from my youth making it. A flash from the past and a good one. I also ordered a pupu platter for one and yes, as you would assume by now, it was exactly how it was prepared 20 years ago. The pupu was pretty large for a serving for one. It included 3 chicken fingers, 2 chicken wings, 2 fried wontons, 1 steak teriyaki and a fried shrimp ring served along with a good amount of boneless spare ribs and an eggroll. I received all this for $20. and this included the tip :) Fun fact: They serve their duck sauce and hot mustard in ketchup and mustard bottles like you find at a picnic, the plastic squeezable ones..lol.. A little funny but very convenient.. If you're in Lynn and would like a nice lunch or early dinner, I would recommend to try Asian Garden. It seems like a local watering hole. Not to sure I was there approximately 4:00 and what looked like a loyal local crowd was starting to fill up the bar area. Most likely the regulars... I do have to mention the decor, The most interesting aspect of the decor from days gone by would be the interesting metal Asian decorated ceiling, it is amazing. also they have the older Asian door arches . The decor is very outdated, but I think it adds a new charm to the place in a world that is full of neon and flash... Give them a try... I will go back for a drink or lunch in the future. "A solid 3.8 Stars"

Enjoyed our meals AND Rum Punches! Beautiful sweet waitress, too!

Pho Minh Ky - Can you count how many pieces of beef??

Very nice quick service. I'd definitely come back again for…read morea quick family friendly dinner

On August 20, 2026, I had a truly disappointing dining experience at Ming Ky. Despite having…read morevisited the restaurant a few times before, this time around, I was shocked by the minuscule portion size compared to my previous visits. While I understand the economic downturn and the challenges faced by restaurants in cutting costs and raising prices, this is not the sole reason for my low rating. I had ordered the Beef Loc Lac ($25.95) and requested a side of limes to make the pepper lime dipping sauce. When I received the meal, I was already confused and shocked by the small portion. However, this incident alone wouldn't have prompted me to write a review. As the wait staff brought out the limes, the older lady who works the front desk (possibly the owner) rushed over and lectured the staff, insisting that they could only provide two slices and that any additional slices would incur an extra charge. She reprimanded the staff in front of me, leaving them confused and embarrassed. Despite the fact that the extra two slices were already placed on the table, the older lady proceeded to ask me if I still wanted them for the extra cost. I told her I'll just take the 2 free slices and pointed out the fact that there was barely any beef in the entree if she was going to charge me for the extra slice limes. She responded affirmatively, going on about the expensive sirloin steak, hence why there barely any meat on the plate. The photo clearly shows that there were only about eight to ten small cubes of beef. This incident is a stark contrast to the kind of customer experience that a restaurant should strive for. It's unacceptable for a business to reprimand its employees in front of customers. The older lady's behavior was unfriendly and showed a complete disregard for her customers' experiences. Given this experience, I will not returning to this establishment.

If you find yourself in the Lynn area, call Nightshade and see if you can nab a seat for yourself…read moresolo or a party of 2. I read online that you need advanced reservations to dine, but decided to call and see if they had an opening since I was in nearby Salem. They did, and I had tremendous experience starting around 7pm on a late-August Friday evening. Caveat: October tends to be the busiest month, so advanced reservations are advised. The mantra to enter into the multicourse journey is "Trust the Process" and "Take Your Time." The chef and her team will curate a unique medley of dishes. After familiarizing myself to the "menu map," I knew there were some ingredients (duck tongue and caviar, for example) that I normally wouldn't order ad hoc, so jumped in with a deep breath. This was one of those instances where the risk taken paid off in spades! I opted for the seven-course experience. The staff are knowledgable, food-passionate, attentive, and expert at creating an atmosphere of ease and genuine hospitality. They were quick to refill my water, make sure I had everything I needed, and inquire about my take on the dishes. The pacing overall was solid, and I was intentional about tasting and allowing the mouth feel of each dish to register: this helped my brain clock that the tasting menu left me satiated, despite the 1-to-2 bite portion sizes of a few of the courses. As you can see from my photos (not in chronological order), each dish is a work of art for the eye and the palate. My favorites were the uni brulee and the "dragon's blood" aloe vera gel: the latter was technically a chef's gift (palate cleanser) vs an actual course, but I loved the play on a vibrant childhood icee flavor and the "pop" of the tangy/tart/sweet lime sugar. Actual order: choupique caviar service (chips), grilled coconut sticky rice pop w/pork floss, habotcha squash bot chien, uni brulee, collard greens, garlic noodles with crab cake, "dragon's blood" aloe vera gel, and lemon custard "trifle" (deconstructed lemon merengue pie). Note: if you are sensitive to spicy, certain dishes may not suit you. They include the habotcha squash bot chien and uni brulee, which both have a decent kick. Everything was memorable in delivery, gorgeous presentation, and symphony of flavors. I've been fortunate to enjoy a Michelin-rated prix fixe in Paris, and Nightshade was on par with that meal. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and will highly recommend to friends for a special meal. Trust me, it's worth it! Bonus: Nightshade is a stone's throw from the Lynn MBTA Station.

We got the 7-course menu…read more Choupique Caviar (7/10): the caviar was good. I do think the eggspuma dip kind of overwhelms the subtle flavor of the caviar, though. I think I'd rather this be a supplement to the tasting menu and have the base option be cheaper. Coconut Sticky Rice Pop (7/10): Decent dish. I liked the sticky rice pop (love coconut milk), but it was little hard to eat. The ratio of sticky rice to meat floss could be a smidge higher. Kabocha Squash bot Chien (7/10): A bit too acidic (really needs a palate cleanser), but still good. Kind of difficult to get a perfect bite, with all the stuff on the plate. Maine Uni Brulee (8.5/10): Umami bomb! So, so delicious. Couldn't even tell it was uni. The sauce was incredible. Collard Greens (6/10): This dish was way too salty. I was also disappointed by the balance of the dish. Too much salt, too much of the garlic sauce. The flavors were good and had promise, but the balance was just all off. Homemade Egg Noodles (6/10): Same thing as above for this dish. The flavors were very promising, but it was just too salty and unbalanced. There also weren't enough noodles to absorb the sauce. Garlic Noodles (9/10): Favorite of the night. These are LOADS better than the homemade egg noodles. So well balanced. Loved the bursts of citrus in the candied lemon. Every bite came with such an amazing aftertaste of crab. Super unique and creative. Salted Chocolate Mousse (6/10): I liked the cognac taste, but this was too salty as well. Not really impressed with the dessert. Tiger Blood (7/10): Decent. not much to say about it. Nice palate cleanser. The service was excellent. The waitstaff really took our feedback seriously. Ambiance is nice, too. My honest review is that $85 is too much for what you get. I understand a lot of that goes towards caviar, but I don't care much for the caviar dish here. With Inkind offers, you can probably get the price down to something more reasonable. If that's the case, then Nightshade is worth a try.
