Absolutely delicious!…read more Stumbled on this place after attending an event in Worcester. Quick little five minute drive and we were there. We were greeted instantly and were met with the beautiful artwork on the walls of the restaurant. The atmosphere of the place was very chill in the best ways. Our server was kind and service was prompt. The smaller dishes really are the perfect amounts of food. We opted for the chicken karaage as an appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend had a Japanese wine that he loved so much we ended up going to a store to buy some for home. Would absolutely go back to this establishment and try some of the other items!

I visited the Worcester Art Museum and took the opportunity to try this Japanese restaurant, which…read morehad received high praise on RedNote and Google Maps. The conclusion was that it was very average. Sashimi Appetizer: The sashimi was fresh and quite thick, but the quality was really poor. Combined with the warm temperature, it felt loose and soft, lacking a firm texture and rich, oily aroma. The only way to compensate for the lack of flavor was with the shouyu. Only the salmon was barely acceptable.

I think this might be my new favorite Japanese place in Worcester…read more We ordered online and the food was ready for pickup when we got there. It was packaged up perfectly - nothing spilled. The sesame chicken was really good (not normally something I get from a sushi place but my toddler is obsessed). We got the sesame bento box and it was so worth it! (See picture) I will say, I'm not a fan of peas (also slightly allergic) and there were some in the fried rice. No worries on my end, I could easily pick them out. Sushi - the California roll came in the bento box and it was so fresh & delicious. The avocado was perfect. I got the shrimp tempura roll and enjoyed it. And my husband liked his eel avocado roll, too. The crab rangoons were light & tasty. Overall, the food was a hit and it was all priced right. We will definitely be back!

I got the spicy ramen and my partner got the chicken non spicy one, please refer to pics as I forgot the name... highly recommend getting the chicken ramen, the broth is light and savory, additionally lots of protein and veggies to make it the perfect ramen bowl. The spicy ramen was okay, I love spice but this one was a bit starchy as if too much starch was used to thicken the broth. The noodles were also way too soft; and there's very little protein. I got beansprout as an add on and that was $2; a bit much if added onto the bowl.

Great noodles, good broth, light on toppings but good quality…read more Was at the market, trying some new places. This place immediately caught my eye, and I was sure to try this place out. The staff were very friendly and bubbly. A lot of nerds making ramen at their booth. Tons of anime figurines, memorabilia, and references. This is the style of ramen place that an anime convention should have. The ramen was pretty good. The noodles were fresh and well prepared. The ramen broth was a little heavy on the bonito, authentic but needed more richness and a little more salt. The toppings were seasoned and prepared properly. The pork was good but a small portion. Egg was jammy and salty, and the other toppings were nice flavor pops. For 12.50, it's a very solid bowl of ramen. Despite my gripes, the ramen is a very solid bowl of noodles and the staff is very fun to interact with. The ramen just needs a little tweaking to make it stellar. But it's one of the better spots in the market

I saw that this placed open about a week and a half ago, and I'm always wanting to try new ramen…read morespots - so I grabbed a bowl as soon as I could make it here! It's on the far side of food in the public market, so it's not really visible when you first walk in (you kind of have to loop around to the other side to get there), but their spot is nice - stocked with some cool anime memorabilia and some other nice decorations. I got the "Super Shoyu". It was definitely a good bowl of ramen; a nice soy umami flavor with some diverse notes throughout. The pork chashu was cut nice and thin, and I was able to watch him torch the pork right in front of me which was cool. The menma was really flavorful and added some depth to the bowl. I think the only thing I'd hope for going forward was a bit more broth in the bowl (it was enough, but felt like there could have been a bit more added). They have a cool loyalty program too (which of course I joined, I'm a sucker for rewards programs). I'm looking forward to heading back to the public market soon and grabbing some more bowls off the menu! Great job so far guys!!

I had been meaning to try Pho Sure since I moved to Worcester in August; every single person I…read moretalked to about Worcester would always say "have you tried Pho Sure yet?!?" That being said, boy was I missing out. Although the location is difficult to reach depending the direction you are coming from, it is well worth the visit. The staff is friendly, our drinks and food came fairly quickly, and everything was delicious. For drinks, we enjoyed the Jade Pendant and Saigon Sunset drinks. For food, we loved the shrimp rockets and Spicy Hue Bowl/ Bun Bo Hue; the Bun Bo Hue was perfectly spicy, flavorful, and contained a decent amount of meat compared to some other Pho places I have been to. Overall, Pho Sure is great for a casual dinner with friends or a date, and I will definitely be returning again!

You walk in and up a couple of steps to a truly warm, inviting dining area. We went for ramen and whatever else we saw that we wanted to try. The ramen looked amazing, though I didn't have any, my husband loved it. The right balance of heat to the subtle pork broth. We also ordered a scallion pancake. This was hands down the best one I have ever had. Nothing like what you get in most restaurants - fried to death or dense. This was delicate, salty, and well layered, with enough scallions to know what you were eating. I ordered the chicken with green beans and ginger. I will order this next time without the chicken only because I prefer just the vegetables. The chicken itself is delicious. Our wait-person, Kim, was super friendly and helpful. I am so glad we found a place nearby with good, authentic Chinese/Asian food.

I'm staying up on the hill at the Vida. So it's a 28 min walk from there. All downhill one way. All uphill the next. It's a Tuesday night and they were packed at 6pm. I'm here by myself so I was able to grab a spot at the bar. Easily found one and got a menu quickly. It was loud when I walked in but surprisingly quiet on the opposite side of the bar. I told the bar tender I was caught between two dishes and she helped me pick. The Turkey BLT. I also got the crispy Broccoli because it looked like something I couldn't just get anywhere. Both were great choices but a ton of food. The broccoli was super sweet with a little wasabi after kick. The turkey BLT was thick cut turkey breast not overshadowed by the bacon. A lot of times a BLT is just assuming that you just want a bacon sandwich. Not this one. I'm not supposed to have bacon so I have to remove it. It's a shame when I'm out traveling I don't get to share these experiences with my wife. I'd love for her to try this place.

However we were seated at a large, awkward table in the back of the second floor area where a door was open to an outdoor patio area. The temp was in the high 50's and since we were very cold we asked that they close the door to the outside or reseat us. Initially a cocktail waitress said (rudely) that closing the door was impossible because it would make it hard for her to get in and out. Eventually a manager type of guy came over and closed the door. Fine...except college kids were going in and out the door to the outside patio area every few seconds so we continued to freeze. Complained again and asked to be moved...nothing! Eventually and mercifully we finished our dinner and were ready to leave. The snippy and sassy cocktail waitress continued to go in and out the door making sure that she opened it widely each time, and sneered at us every time. On our way out I complained to the general manager and he said "sorry" but didn't acknowledge that we asked to be reseated and we were just ignored. This place is packed all the time so I assume they don't care about one disgruntled table of 5, still, you should know that if the weather is chilly don't let them seat you anywhere near the outside patio...you'll freeze and they won't care.
