    green tea, oreo & honey cream puffs
    Rebecca B.

    Good option to stop by for quick dessert! I had the Honey Butter eclair cream puff and I loved it!! So good! I also tried the Green Tea flavor as well. The space is shared with Teazzi and there are seats so you can enjoy your drink + cream puffs at the same time. I would recommend trying if you want a light snack on Newbury Street.

    Beard Papa's shares a location with Teazzi which is cool that you can grab something from both. I went with the original cream puff and the chocolate cream puff. They are filled after you order which is nice that they aren't just sitting there. They also had specialty flavors which I recommend trying out. They have a screen near the door where you can order which is convenient during their busy times.

    I remembered seeing this new place on Newbury and becoming intrigued. It looked very inviting and who doesn't love cream puffs?! Inside is a very interesting layout. They have a large step-like seating area with cushions where you can enjoy the food and drinks offered. In addition to the cream puffs vendor, they have a tea shop where you can purchase a drink to go along with your dessert! Great business move. The puffs themselves are great, the custard is light and airy while simultaneously not overly sweet. They have lots of flavor options for the eclair shells like chocolate, strawberry and this green tea one we tried. It did have a taste reminiscent of white chocolate, which is yummy. I feel like this place is worth stopping at while looking around Newbury street, there aren't many places like it and I like that you can grab a single puff instead of paying for a whole box. TL;DR: Good place for a quick sweet treat if you're in the mood. Approved

    I would give it a five BUT THERES NO AC i sat outside to eat and it felt much better. but the cream puffs are the bomb and they're so creamy and just yes. i went here twice on my trip because i HAD to have it again.

    Got to stop in here on newbury and it's a great place to grab a boba and some cream puffs and run! I personally enjoyed the ube topped puff with vanilla filling! The creamy and buttery texture was great! The matcha def brings the full body of the green tea out earthy and all. The frozen mango is cold cold and actually frozen haha. I was expecting more of an ice cream consistency, that was a tough eat for me in contrast to the puff pastry it's put into. I would personally stick to the normal cream fillings those were bomb! Thats just my taste tho i have sensitive teeth haha. Thank you Beard papa's will be back!

    I grew up eating Beard Papa in San Francisco and was so happy when they decided to open up a location here. There's additional flavors that I haven't had before, like the frozen mango (which was great!), but you can never go wrong with the original or chocolate cream puffs. It shares a store with Teazzi so the seating area can be kind of small/awkward

    Got the creme brulee cream puff. It was kind of confusing reading the menu because it tells me to pick the puff, and pick the filling. But they said the creme brulee already comes with the vanilla filling. It was delicious overall. Cream was delicious. The crisp on the puff/sugar was on point. Loved it.

    Great place for a tasty snack during your Newbury shopping! Food: My first creme puff here was great! It had a light fluffy cream, flaky pastry, and a flavorful frosting topping. The frosting was a great addition to the mild sweetness of the base cream puff and really made it a proper sweet treat. Service: The employees were very pleasant nothing to complain about. Atmosphere: It's a pretty small space shared with another food vendor and the seating area is interesting to say the least. Beside that the mascot and decoration is very inviting.

    A solid snack but I actually feel like there's actually too much cream in the regular sized cream puffs. Overall not too sweet though and I'm willing to come back to try more flavors.

    The best cream puffs I ever had! I got the matcha puff and an original puff that comes with the grand opening coupon. They only have the vanilla bean custard right now and it is so light and perfectly sweetened. The custard is a perfect ratio to the puff pastry and it is such a light and fluffy treat. I had the matcha puff right away and I really enjoyed the matcha chocolate on top of the pastry, I think it makes such a good combo with the custard. I saved the original puff for the next day and I ate it right out the fridge. It was still so delicious and the puff pastry was still good! My only critique is that when I went they laid out all the puffs right next to the customers with no plastic or glass or any barrier. So we were literally standing right over the puffs which doesn't seem sanitary at all.

    Matcha

    The pastry is crunchy. The matcha glaze on top is a bit too sweet for my taste but the matcha filling balances it out. Worth the try but I'm not sure if I would get it again. The store houses both Beard Papa's and Teazzi. There are a couple of tables but it's small place. There was no wait when I went on a Monday afternoon.

    Opening day
    Kami L.

    I hadn't heard of this brand before it opened up this location in Boston. I waited in line with some friends for the grand opening and received a tote bag, water bottle, and two coupons. On the opening day I ordered an original filling with a chocolate outside and one with a matcha outside. The chocolate outside was great, however, the matcha one tasted more like a white chocolate than a matcha flavor. The matcha outside had a very sweet taste that didn't quite pair as I would have liked best with the original filling. I know that the opening day menu is a bit different and didn't have all of the options, so I also returned for another day and ordered a matcha filling with an original outside. The matcha filling was great and had a light and airy quality to it. I was somewhat surprised to find that there was a spending minimum to use the coupons I had been given on the opening day...other than this I look forward to returning and trying any of the other flavors they come out with!

    Plain with vanilla
    Eva A.

    I'm pleasantly surprised! Puff pastries are made in house and have a choice of vanilla or matcha cream. I make cream puffs at home and wanted to compare, so I got plain stuffed with vanilla. The vanilla cream was too sweet for me, but the pastry part was perfect. I'd definitely come back to try the matcha cream, but I think the other puff toppings (strawberry glaze, Oreo, etc) would be too overwhelming. The inside doesn't have traditional tables to sit at, rather a raised platform with block seats. We just opted to eat standing which wasn't the most comfortable. Also there was a lack of napkins- the cream easily gets all over your fingers so I'd suggest to have more napkins in the space. Overall, happy to see a unique desert spot on newbury. Will come back :)

Whether you're here for high-end sushi, creative small plates, or comforting kitchen dishes, everything is executed at a very high level. We ordered a massive spread, and almost every single dish was a hit. The Raw Bar & Sushi: * Oysters: These were 10/10. Incredibly fresh, perfectly halved, and meticulously cleaned--not a single piece of shell in sight. We loved them so much we had to go for a second round. * 8pc Omakase & 6pc Aburi Set: Both sets were fantastic. The Aburi (torched) set is a must-try for that smoky melt-in-your-mouth texture. * Uni Nigiri: Even my wife, who usually avoids raw fish, was won over by how creamy and fresh the Uni was. * Tuna Tataki: This was the only "just okay" dish for me. It had good flavor, but I think it would have been elevated with some shredded daikon and a colder temperature. Kitchen & Family Favorites: * Foie Gras Appetizer: Rich, decadent, and a perfect way to start the meal. * Sea Bass: My son absolutely loved this; he finished the entire portion with rice. * Snow Crab Roll: An excellent option for those who prefer cooked rolls. * Tonkotsu Ramen: We finished off the meal with a hot bowl of ramen, which was the perfect savory "topper" to a great dinner. The Experience: The service is efficient and the wait times for food were surprisingly short given how much we ordered. One of the biggest takeaways was the value. The pricing is very fair for this level of quality; back home in Nashville, a meal like this would have easily cost significantly more. The Verdict: While I would love to see a few more small, refreshing salad dishes on the menu to balance out the richness, I left extremely happy. This is a top-tier dining experience and a definite "must-visit" whenever I'm back in town!

XO Seafood Udon: The restaurant specifically labeled it "wok-tossed," and it truly had a wonderful wok-hei鑊氣 (wok aroma), with an irresistible fragrance as soon as it arrived at the table. The XO sauce was extremely rich, sweet and umami, and the udon noodles were soft on the outside and bouncy on the inside; the sauce was glossy, smooth, but not greasy, allowing it to coat the noodles evenly and infuse them with flavor. The shrimp, squid, and scallops were all fresh and large, making for a very satisfying meal. The shrimp, in particular, were coated with a thin layer of starch before being pan-fried, adding layers of texture and locking in the juices. This plate removed the scallions and onions to suit my taste, and if you like spicy food, adding a little chili oil would greatly enhance the flavor. The restaurant had an elegant and refined ambiance, and the service was attentive, making it a very relaxing place.

    WOW! An awesome experience!!! I went here for my birthday…read morewith my parents and boyfriend, and this had been on my want to go list for years, and I am so glad I can finally cross it off! When I made the reservation online I put that the occasion it was for was my birthday- I notice that most restaurants don't pay attention to this on OpenTable, but Fuji definitely did! We were seated quickly and with no issue at all, despite it being pretty crowded. The vibe was intimate and classy- a great spot for date night, or for dinner with your parents. At our table was a card (in the pictures) which was such a nice touch and was a great start to the meal. Our waitress was awesome, and it seemed like there was a floor manager too that was making sure everyone was happy. It felt like the staff truly cared and wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time and experience. Our waitress checked in on us multiple times, and was very helpful with the menu. Speaking of the menu, I was very pleased to see the amount of vegetarian dishes! You don't see that often at Japanese restaurants! For our appetizers we got the lobster Rangoon and spicy edamame. Technically the tofu is an app but you would never guess that from the portion size. The edamame were outstanding! They were spicy as expected and were so tasty. We demolished the whole bowl. The Rangoons were also amazing- the chunks of lobster were divine. I myself love lobster and crab Rangoons, so a combo?! Amazing. Both the edamame and lobster Rangoons are can't misses. For our entrees/ mains we got the crispy soy noodles, miss Waldorf roll, sweet potato roll, tofu, and fried rice. The miss Waldorf roll is amazing, and I can not wait to go back and get more sushi. Truly the best sushi I have had in boston. There are other upscale sushi restaurants I have been to that charge a pretty penny but taste like grocery store sushi. Fuji is not one of those- it was truly exceptional sushi. The sweet potato roll was also delicious! I am very picky about my sweet potato rolls and had one that I have dreamt about since I had it in 2022. I have finally found a sweet potato roll that matches my standards. The crispy soy noodles were also amazing! They reminded e of one of my favorite restaurants when I was a kid and it filled me with such joy to eat something with that flavor. The serving size was pretty big too, and they were not shy on the shrimp! Note though, they were a tad oily (I added a little bit of soy sauce to balance it out). The fried rice was also very good and tasted like a good bowl of comfort fried rice. My parents ate it with the tofu and liked it! The only dish I would want some change in is the tofu- it wasn't bad but compared to the other dishes it definitely lacked the flavor punch you get in the rest of the dishes. The sauce was okay with it. After dinner our waitress brought a slice of vanilla crepe cake and ice cream! This was such a nice touch and it was SO good!!!!! It was the first time I ever had crepe cake but I loved it! I'm not sure if they have a dessert menu or not (we weren't asked if we wanted to see one) but I would love to go back and get that cake again! Overall I am beyond happy that I picked this spot for my birthday- I had an amazing experience and amazing food. Will definitely be back!

When we walked into Legal, the place was dead, the music was awful, and the vibe was just not there. So we sat at the bar and grabbed a drink while searching for a place to get an actual dinner where we could find last-minute reservations. Shojo in Chinatown came up with great reviews and after looking at the menu and seeing that we could get a reservation, we headed over. It was a short walk from the Ritz and Chinatown is just such a fun place with great energy. When we walked in, we knew we had made the right call and were easily able to switch our reservation from a table to bar seats, which is always an added bonus. The place is low lit and the music is on the louder side, but nothing was excessive to the point that we didn't enjoy our time there. We ordered a variety of drinks while there - a Toki Highball draft, a spicy tequila drink with lemongrass, a few different types of Japanese whiskeys as well (they have a really extensive list). As far as food goes, they categorize their menu into Snacks, Baos, and Rice, Noodles, and Dumplings. There's a lot of vegetarian friendly options, which is always a plus for me. My highlights were the 7 vegetable stir fry, fried eggplant bao, edamame dumplings, and the Thai veggie spring rolls. The salt and pepper calamari was also really great. Everything was terrific and really unique. Service was good - not great, but they took notice of empty glasses and were quick to bring out food, so I have absolutely no complaints. Shojo is somewhere I'd absolutely return to when staying in the area, I'm really happy we all turned what would have been a very touristy, depressing experience into something with a WAY better vibe and time!

Service at the bar was not horribly attentive, but they got the job done and that drink is as perfect as ever. Ambience is dim (not too dim) with flattering lighting and is on the louder side. Cool and casual atmosphere, with food and drink that excels. This is going to be a spot I return to much more quickly now.
