Local restaurant a few steps from my home but I had never stopped in until today…read more I was alone but the spot had a nice cozy vibe and the decoration and lighting made it feel really homey. The woman running the shop brought me the plate of tofu, veggies and kimchi which was all very nice. I especially loved the kimchi and picked green beans. I ordered the "BimBimBop" and a hot ginger tea. The tea was perfectly hot and sweet, I highly recommend even on a warmer day. There was something nice about hearing the chef working in the back, listening to the tv or radio over the sound of boiling water, steaming stovetop and clanking of kitchen tools as well. The food came out hot and fresh with crisp veggies a perfectly fried egg and perfectly cooked rice. The spice was on the side to add to my liking and everything blended together really well. I think this is a secret star of a place and disagree with the comments that the woman here was unkind, I think you can tell by the food itself she cares about quality and taste. I will absolutely be back and if you find yourself in the area I recommend stopping by.

And flavorful it was! The chicken tikka masala sauce was packed with spice and had a lovely silky texture. Paired with the rice and naan was a bite that transported us straight to India! Not to mention, the ceremonial decor makes the entire night feel like a true, traditional dining experience. This spot is perfect for sharing and the meal was very cheap for the quantity and quality! We were also able to try their crisp veggie samosas (my absolute fav!) and their traditional gulab jamun (which they kindly provided us on the house!) The service is incredibly kind, moves swiftly, and truly makes you feel at home. Finally, I have to commend their extensive menu offering every traditional indian dish you can imagine, plus some you've probably never heard of. I can't wait to go back and try more things, this spot is the perfect place to indulge in some comfort food or branch out and try something new! I can't give this place enough praise and I'd definitely recommend you stop by whenever you get the chance! Make sure to bring your appetite, and maybe some friends and family to help out as well.

First few visits back after they reopened after fire damage were good. All weeknight dinner visits…read more -- Har Gow: Shrimp dumplings fresh and flavorful, but the vessels were so gummy they stuck to each other and the serving tin. Average. -- Beef Teriyaki: A four-stick serving had bumpy, lightly-charred and lightly sweet surfaces, along with good tenderness underneath. Decent marinade flavor. Above average to well above average. -- Mongolian Beef: An outstanding presentation of beef slivers thick enough to be tender, while also getting nicely crisp and a vigorous flavor superior to the teriyaki. Scallions added some extra kick in addition to the sauce. Really good feel and really good taste bring it really close to elite. -- Pork Fried Rice: Lovers of dark pork fried rice are in for a treat, because this is among the darkest and has dark flavor to match. Fresh, hot, not a reheat, and not sitting for hours. I could do without the peas, but all of the other additions-- egg, onion, bean sprouts, and big chunks of fresh pork-- were top notch. A benchmark rice if you're into this style. Elite. -- Chicken with Ginger and Scallion: Long and winding chicken with good tenderness and noticeable ginger flavor, with bold scallions the unsung hero. Closer to a very good dish than a great dish, but bonus points for being neither sweet nor spicy, but still bringing plenty of flavor. -- Chicken Fried Rice: Another example of bold, dark, fresh-cooked rice, this time with chicken. I was expecting shreds and got finger-length pieces that were much more impressive. Elite. -- Boneless Ribs: Lightly lacquered with shiny cross sections, so they were moist, but a bit fatty. Above average for sure, but not elite or close like some other dishes. -- Chicken Fingers: Fresh, hot, and crisp, with some small ones less dazzling, but most pleased. Good meat-to-batter ratio. Optional sweet and sour sauce add-on did dazzle, coming in sweet but dark ruby color and complex. Not your daddy's sauce; this didn't have pineapples and cherries but it did have more flavor. -- Chicken Teriyaki: Charring, coating, tenderness, juiciness, and marinade all combined to make this one of the better renditions. Well above average to near elite. -- Yuen Yang Beef: Very impressive dish, from the quantity, to the textures (perfect on both the beef and the bed of string beans), to the flavors (savory-tingly on the beef, though without much heat, and gingery on the string beans). -- Duck Sauce: Barely a variation from straight apple sauce. Not a strength. Only negative on service is that sometimes one server handles the entire dining room, so there might be waits, but even still, service is always friendly and efficient. This place sometimes gets a bad rap for being expensive, but I believe the quality warrants the prices and that there's good value thanks to execution and consistency.

Two of us stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner around 4:30. An odd hour, so it was no surprise…read morethat the place was empty. We had the appetizer assortment, shrimp pad thai and ma-la lamb. The appetizers were pretty routine: 2 each of shumai, peking dumplings, crab rangoon and one beef satay. The tempura shrimp mentioned on the menu was not served, but everything was tasty if not memorable. I expected more for our $15. My girl ordered the pad thai. It was okay, but needed more tamarind and was missing peanuts. Our server happily provided a bowl of peanuts. For authentic pad thai, I'll go to a Thai restaurant. A word about the people: our server was friendly and responsive, and we were greeted cheerfully. Our order took a reasonable amount of time to arrive. It wouldn't be fair to review the ambiance of an empty restaurant, so I'll just say the place was clean and the booth comfortable. I ordered the ma-la lamb specifically to get a plate of very spicy Sichuan style meat and it came dripping with hot oil and covered in chopped hot chilis. It was amazingly good. Not only was it at my limit for heat, I could taste all the flavor of the lamb as well as the other spices as my sinuses liquefied and my tear ducts leaked. I loved this dish. It was just as good reheated the next day. I think our experience here only scratched the surface of the menu. I'll definitely return for more spicy Sichuan food but will probably pass non-Sichuan appetizers and dishes.

Food is good, but I would not say exceptional. It's a good place to get Chinese and Japanese food. They cater to a wide range of people. They have lightly-seasoned dishes if you're not very adventurous with dishes that have a lot of spices. They also offer spicy food, but they could be spicier, in my opinion. They have more special dishes, but we didn't get to try it since there were only two of us and we didn't have that big of an appetite.

They have a lot of lunch options and different combination plates. The lunch options are under $10. They include soup or a soda. Pork Fried Rice or White Rice. Choice of an appetizer and an entrée. A great value for the money. I got the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce, Pork Fried Rice, an Egg Roll and Hot and Sour Soup for less money than fast food restaurants. The Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was absolutely delicious, and I'm extremely picky on this dish. It had four jumbo Shrimp in a delicious sauce. The Pork Fried Rice was light in color, strong in flavor. It was delicious! The Egg Roll had a nice combination of celery, pork, cabbage and the right seasonings. It passed my no duck sauce needed taste. The flavors were great. I tried the duck sauce, although it looked like, it had that great New England apple flavor. The only item I wasn't a huge fan of was their Hot and Sour soup. I felt it lacked flavor and was missing some old school ingredients. Overall, this was a great lunch stop with a lot of value for your money. I will definitely return!

Whenever I am here, it's pretty busy, I only am here during comic cons. Sometimes the waitresses are a little overwhelmed, so service can be spotty if you're sitting at a table during an event.

Horrendous (and frankly racist) service and really weirdly prepared dishes. The server seated us…read moreand gave us menus. She came back a bit later with some chips for the table and sauces. We asked if the entrees came with rice and she answered and were about to place our order and she walks away to attend to someone else? Would have taken less than 30 seconds and there wasn't anything emergent that needed tending to. Comes back, takes the order (hunan crispy fish and shrimp with ginger and scallion) and the dishes are somehow out in 5-10 minutes. She practically throws the shrimp and side of rice on the table and walks away. Doesn't ask if we need anything else (we wanted chili oil). Another server brings the fish dish and asks if we need anything who we then inform about our request. The original one then comes by and throws the sauce on the table again. The shrimp dish was heavy in red onions and barely had ginger or scallion. The sauce tasted like soy sauce and a starch slurry with nothing else added and it was way too salty. The fish was weirder. It had a breading on it instead of a cornstarch/potato starch batter. The sauce also did not taste like oyster sauce and it tasted like the sauce sautéed with veggies was added at the end so nothing melded together.with the fish. The sauce was overly sweet. Some customers left the table next to us and she sat down in their empty seats and starts looking at her Apple watch. She never once filled up our waters but did for the other customers and did ask if they needed anything else and gingerly places dishes on their table. Felt extremely racist. Avoid this place. Acting like a high school student forced to work a summer job and begrudgingly doing so except she was much older, immature, at best rude, and at worst, racist.

Our waitress Kellie was very nice however could have been a little more attentive. She never brought our rolls and never refilled our water glasses We had cocktails watermelon cosmos ( Very Nice but very small glass). We shared a small Caesar salad which was plenty. Very disappointed in the menu. Very limited. Didn't offer prime rib or anything special. I was going to order the Pot Roast dinner & probably should have. Instead we both ordered Chicken Pot Pie First the squash was tasty as well as the mashed potatoes but I am sure they would have been better had they been hot. The chicken pot pie crust was excellent however I think it was more like chicken soup with a couple of pieces of chicken with 2 small pieces of carrots. We had to put the crust in the chicken pie to be able to eat it. The cornbread was very good I was surprised when we received our bill to find a liquor tax on it I had not seen that before I am comparing this with two other restaurants that I would highly recommend, The Wayside Inn in Sudbury,Ma and the 1640 Hart House in Ipswich,Ma Both of these restaurants have the ambiance,great menu and excellent food Don't get me wrong the 1716 Colonial Inn still has ambiance but that is it I hope our waitress,Kellie shared our comments with the Chef

Three of the five entrees were fine (not spectacular but edible and enjoyable.)Two of them were awful How does one ruin a burger? The meat was tough and flaverless and greens tossed on the plate with no thought for presentation.. My husband ordered his steak medium and it had to go back as it was rare at first. When it was returned it was charred on the outside and still red, stringy and inedible. Our waitress was fine but overwhelmed at times. The plates and napkins were thrown on the table for us to sort out. The bread finally came and was the best part of the meal for two of us. The ambiance was NON-EXISTENT. We were shown to a sterile function room in the back with no decor to speak of. The front rooms of the Inn were quaint and had some atmosphere but a private party seemed to be there, the alternative was grim and institutional. I spent formative early career days waiting on tables in NY and briefly in Boston decades ago. Recognizing when an establishment is coasting on a previous reputation comes readily to me. I was embarrassed and saddened that what I hoped would be a cultural experience for our guests was a huge disappointment and a rather upsetting amount to spend on food that might barely pass muster in a college dining hall. Next time I'll just take visitors to the Wayside Inn where at least if the food is mundane, the atmosphere and staff care deeply about customer experience.
