I just adore this place. The waitresses always recognize my boyfriend and I and will always ask if we want sake because we almost always order it. Makes us laugh. It is a no frills Mom and Pop feel place. Cozy and warm. For HotPot, we always get the AYCE option. I believe it is now 27 per person (this has increased but that's understandable and it's still the cheaper option than most in the area) The kimchi broth is so good (my personal favorite) my boyfriend's favorite is the Maa-Laa base. Delicious if you like that hot numbing sort of spice. There's lots of other food options as well besides hot pot. We always get the soup dumplings. I'm a big fan of the smoothies. Lots of tasty options. I always get one to go at the end of our meal. I love getting the jelly add-on. The takeaway soups are also great I will usually get the kimchi beef udon soup. I almost don't want others to know about this place because we love it so much and want it all to ourselves. But this place deserves the recognition! read more

Their smoothies are surprisingly good here! I tried the mango pineapple, and it had great flavor. As for the food, I think it's just mediocre. Their Spicy Korean Beef Noodle Soup is basically kimchi broth with noodles of your choice (nothing special). read more

Fairy Cafe - Korean Beef Noodle Soup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

What a surprise when we found Fairy Cafe! It was a snowy afternoon, so it was the perfect time for soup dumplings! I also had the Hong Kong Style Milk Tea and Pork Cutlet with Curry over Rice. Everything was so flavorful and super affordable! If I ever come back to Boston, I'll definitely make my way back to Fairy Cafe. read more

The food was really good and the best part was the servers who were very accommodating and kind, especially accommodating my dad's humor which says a lot! read more

Came here for the first time and got takeout. Soup dumplings, beef with enoki rice, house fried rice and ramen noodle soup. Everything was really good. Prices are reasonable. Will go back another time to try some other dishes. read more

Ordered scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, and spicy miso vegetable ramen. Scallion pancakes were just as expected. Soup dumplings had a nice flavor! Unfortunately, the ramen really lacked flavor and I had to add a TON of soy sauce to it. Nice staff and well priced Sapporo. read more

We go here a-few times for hotpot and my kids absolutely love this place. We normally do the buffet and the service is quick and good is pretty generous and consistent read more

I must say I love this place! Service is always attentive, the dining area and bathroom is clean. I've only been here a couple of times for the hotpot and appetizers, so far everything was good and prices are pretty cheap. Everything taste pretty fresh. I usually get the prime rib eye with the rib bone broth (I thought it would come with those soup bones in it but nope) and the kimchi broth. I just giggle at the kim chi broth. I would not recommend that broth, it seems like it's made from powder with fresh napa, chili slices and carrots.... I've never seen carrots in kimchi broth. And I always must get the fried oysters! read more

After coming in for hot pot today, this place is hands down new go to for hot pot. I eat a lot of hot pot and most of the time feel unsatisfied with either quality or price and this place has both quality and value. My boyfriend has been asking me to come here for a long time now and I've been skeptical about it because it's a small cafe but no more. The hot pot broth was soooo good, we had both the beef broth and kim chi. I really liked that they name each item they bring to the table rather than just throwing them on to the table. Quality of ingredients tops the AYCE sushi and hotpot place down the street. Also the smoothies are made with FRESH fruit, watermelon lychee is A1. They also serve beer here too, which makes me happy lol Definitely a must try for anyone who loves hot pot. read more

I did extensive research on local hotpot places because tis the season where getting a broth steam is so necessary with the outside temperatures. Most of the other ones in the area have bad or fake (L&C, a "user" posted the same picture on their yelp review as the owners on their Facebook page....like come on) reviews. Upon first entering it looks deceivingly small, but there is a second back room to the left side to accommodate more patrons. My friend and I immediately opted for the all you can eat hotpot option cause....well let's be serious. I unfortunately didn't indulge in much of the seafood as my dining partner doesn't like seafood (womp womp), but otherwise everything we tried was fresh and of good quality. Plus the server ladies were very attentive and super nice! Huge contrast to hot pot buffet in chinatown. It's not that far of a walk from the T, but there's also plenty of street parking. Definitely my go to for hotpot in Quincy now. read more

Fairy Cafe - First round of hotpot goodies - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Friendly staff but awful music (karaoke was playing on the screen. Ouch). Saw a lot of locals here on a Saturday afternoon. A homey atmosphere serving family size portions. One noodle soup can split with 2 people. For those who have a heavier taste buds, the fish ball noodle soup maybe too bland for you. I personally prefer less sodium so the soup base is just right. Their version of fish balls are actually fish paste FYI. The Korean beef noodle soup is basically kimchi broth and definitely on the heavier side. Do skip the vermicelli noodles as they turned soggy in the soup. The pho noodles were better. Nothing special regarding the dumplings, very similar to the frozen packages you find at the supermarket. read more

It's a nice family run restaurant. They have many good options including ramen, all you can eat hotpot, dimsum and other small bits. Their hotpot broth is really good. My favorite dishes are definitely the soup dumplings and coconut shrimp! read more

Fairy Cafe - Coconut shrimp, sweet potato fries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

This place gives off such a homey feel and the owner/head waitress? Makes you feel so welcomed. I haven't heard great reviews about their ramen, but it wasn't negative either. Moreso along the lines of "I've had better" ANYWAYS every time I go, I get hotpot because hotpot is delicious. I usually get the kimchi broth. At first I was nervous about it because some places just throw in a bunch of pickled kimchi and serve that as broth. That's just too sour. But at Fairy, it's like an in between which i personally like. The flavor of the broth adds to the feeling of a home-cooked meal. You can either order by plate or buffet style. I order by plate and each plate is very reasonably priced! A plate of beef is just ~$6. Would recommend to my friends! read more

Worst mochi and boba I've ever had. I was hopeful, but was very disappointed by the poor taste. The items were quite overpriced for their small size. read more

Came here when they first opened a few years ago when it had only a few tables. After a few years since I've been here,- I guess they've been doing good and expanded by taking over the restaurant which was next door and turned it into one. My friends wanted to go since they've never had their AYCE hotpot. Once there, it wasn't busy so we were seated right away. To be honest, nothing has changed here. Staff is very attentive but the food quality is still the same. Price is very attractive for AYCE but freshness is below average and broth was just ok. There's another AYCE about 2 miles away that is a bit on the pricey side but has more items to choose as well as much better quality in terms of freshness. read more

Great casual and cozy sit down restaurant for avid noodle soup and smoothie lovers (that's me!) This is one of my favorite spots in Quincy. I always, always get the Shrimp Tempura Noodle Soup with udon specifically which has an incomparable and home-like tomato soup base and is served in a pretty big bowl as well (great portions). Fried rice is also really good. They are beginning to add more dishes to their menu, yay! I wouldn't say their Japanese/ramen noodle soups are the best though. Have not tried the hot pot I also order their fried chicken wings. They are pretty small in size and may not be worth it to some people but for some reason, the way they fry them just makes the taste and texture addicting to me. Gyozas are pretty good, standard--nothing extraordinary. Smoothies are delicious! I always get the mango smoothie which I'm pretty sure is made with real mangos (bonus points!! most Asian drink shops/restaurants use powder). All in all, you get a great value for what you pay. Everything is fairly cheap, staff are friendly, food is good so there's really not much to complain about considering the price you pay. read more

Fairy Cafe - Shrimp Tempura Noodle Soup w/ Udon (~$7.95) Absolutely delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

My first visit to Fairy Cafe today, I'm not a huge fan of ramen but I got Tom Yum seafood noodle soup with ramen and I enjoyed it a lot. It was flavorful, very spicy and the seafood (shrimp, rice cake, fish) were soooo good. I really loved it. Except the fish. The servers here are pretty nice. My sister got kimchi fried rice, it was pretty good. What bothered me was, the waitress we had that took our order judged the way my sister wanted her rice (add enoki). She knows what she likes/wants and this lady kept going back and forth like "that's weird, I don't think it'll be good".... etc. she even made faces which was worse. In the end, she got what she wanted and it tasted great... despite the judgement, I'd come back. read more

Hair in my broth! When I asked about some of the things on the menue the waitress acted like I should know these things, and to close it out I was indeed asked if I wanted anything else but was never given a menue or an option for desserts . On the bright side of things the fried calamari was good. read more

Fairy Cafe - the only thing worth ordering - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Hi I'm Minh Fairy Cafe has been one of the best establishments that has come to Quincy in the past 2-3 years. It's a little family owned restaurant and the older woman/host there is the most sweetest down to earth person ever and she knows all her locals! -Appetizers here are a great value with the ladder of them being less than $5. I recommend the Fried oysters, Mini soup dumplings and sticky rice! -Noodle soups here are very tasty with the different type of broths they prepare before hand. You can choose from ramen, udon, pho or rice noodles .I enjoy the spicy tom-yum soup and the very light fish-ball soup (all with ramen). -Rice plates here are standard but are a good value and choice if you want to avoid the noodles for some reason here~ -23.95$ all you can eat hot pot is a decent price and all the cuts of meat are really good, especially the sirloin. Seafood and veggies are pretty fresh but what stands out here is the broth. The broth is all home-made and all of them have a very home-y feel to it. Its like a taste of home! -Smoothies are really fresh and made with flavored ice cream. Highly recommend. Their milk tea and honey lemon tea are very good options if you want something lighter. Come here for decently cheap food and good hospitality! High recommend. read more

Fairy Cafe does the trick if you have a hankering for ramen. Although it isn't the tastiest broth I've had, it's still impressive for Quincy. At such a reasonable price point, I don't have much to complain about! I had the Japanese pork ramen which was fine, but I sampled my friends crispy chicken ramen and it was STELLAR. Their fried rice is light and I can appreciate that this is a mom and pop shop run by some hardworking individuals. If you're in the mood for something sweet, try their black sesame balls!! read more

Dined in for dinner tonight. Food was delicious as always. Their ramens are really good too but we didn't get it today. Waitress, owner and other workers were wearing masks. Hand sanitizer at entrance and ordering area is safely partitioned. We got smoothies and lemon ice tea, highly recommend. They do takeout as well. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Best ramen in Quincy or in Massachusetts for that matter. I ordered the Japanese Style Ramen. The flavor of the broth was perfect (not too salty or bland) and the pork was so juicy and tender! There were three pieces of pork which was just enough and great for the price ($7.50). However, it'd be nice if there were more ramen options on the menu. There wasn't much to choose from. I've tried a lot of ramen places in Boston and nothing beats this place. Of course, it still doesn't beat the ramen that I had in China (still looking!) but this will do for now. I love how it's also near the place I'm living so that's a bonus. Service is okay. There was only one waiter as the place wasn't too busy. The place was clean but a bit plain so definitely don't come for the environment. Come for the ramen! read more

Fairy Cafe - Japanese style pork ramen - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I came here a week ago with my family after a long day at the beach and I have not stopped thinking about it since! Granted, I've only been here once and I've only had ramen but it was the BEST ramen I've had in a long time! & not to brag but I'm pretty experienced in the ramen field! The broth was very rich and full of flavor and the noodles were cooked perfectly! And the presentation was awesome! As for the shop itself, it's on the small side but it looks very modern and clean. Perfect for a casual lunch or dinner! The service was also great and they brought out the food in a very reasonable time! If you're around in the area, or not, definitely give this place a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

Boy and I go here from time to time for hotpot buffet. Before the expansion, we had to wait a bit for a table. We didn't mind due to the fact that the food here are great! The husband and wife who owns the place are really nice and attentive. :) it's hard to find a place with good customer service on top of delicious food. Their ramen keeps me coming back.. If you know what I mean.. ;) read more

I really love the Japanese pork ramen and the Hong Kong style milk tea here! I am glad that they have expanded bigger because there used to be a long wait; however, that means service has been slowing down. It is still a great place nonetheless. read more

Prices at this place were pretty cheap which was nice, but the food was a toss up. We got the japanese noodle soup and the house special noodle soup. I really liked the content of the japanese noodle soup, but not a fan of the soup base (it was pretty flavorless/bland) and vice versa for the house special (the content of the house special content was fine but they don't specify what's in it on the menu so it was too much of a surprise to figure out what I was eating.) Food wise the fav thing we got were the fried oysters which were actually perfectly fried and delicious! But also I actually really love the watermelon and lychee smoothie because they use fresh watermelon! Would come back again solely for the smoothies and ice cream! read more

We got takeout from Fairy Cafe a few weeks ago and I am still thinking about it! We got so many delicious things, but my favorite was the kimchi fried rice. We look forward to returning again! read more

This place is a hidden gem I stumbled upon. Great food and service. They take your temp and take precautions during these times. Def recommend and will be coming back. read more

The best ramen! I've tried the Japanese Pork ramen, Tom yum ramen, and the spicy Korean beef ramen and out of those three, the japanese pork one is the best. I've tried the soup broth for the seafood and house special as well and they all have a different broth but they are all pretty good too. The ramen never disappoints and the soup broth is amazing. I've been to Hokkaido and another japanese ramen place before but I think the japanese pork one from Fairy Cafe is so much better. Definitely recommend trying the Japanese Pork ramen!! read more

This is a cute little place near Walston station. You have to find street parking and there is limited tables because it's pretty small. We waited about 10 minutes for a table and the lady was pretty nice about it. My friend ordered the seafood ramen and I got the kimchi beef ramen. The seafood was good, but not spicy at all and the kimchi beef could of been a little more spicy to me, but ti was still delicious. We also ordered the coconut shrimp. It was really good because it had coconut flakes and you can smell the coconut. Total was about $26 for everything. I would come back read more

So I am updating my review because my food knowledge has expanded and I know that what they serve is not "authentic ramen", but is it still delicious? Yes! I've been going to Fairy for years, and the main waitress (owner?) knows my order, my boyfriend's order, and even my family's orders (they do not come as often) by heart. I always get the shrimp tempura noodle soup with miso broth and ramen noodles, a must get! You can ask to change the soup base, which is a plus. I also recommend their shanghai soup dumplings as well. I love Fairy Cafe so much, and it is my go-to for yummy/affordable noodle soups. read more

3.5... this place hits the spot when I don't want to go in the city for ramen. My wife and I got the Japanese noodle soup and coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp came out nice and hot, nearly burned my tongue. It tasted ok by itself. Shrimp was a bit bland. However, when I dipped it into the mayo they gave me that's when it really came alive! The ramen was alright too. The noodles were a great texture and the pork was nice and fatty! What I didn't like was that the broth was a little too bland for me, and the egg inside was a little too hard boiled for my taste. Thank goodness they had the chili sauce to add some kick to the broth. All in all I had a good experience and it hits the spot when I'm craving ramen but don't want to go to Boston. read more

Its a pretty decent, local restaurant that is a must try. Its small and seating can be limited but the wait isn't long. I've been looking for soup dumplings and so glad I found one in Quincy. The size is slightly smaller than what I'm used to but not too bad. The meat in soup dumpling is a bit sweeter than what I like but thats just a personal preference. The ramen/udon soups are generous size. Fried oyster was good but quite expensive for four little pieces. I wasn't a fan of their smoothies (avocado and green tea) but still willing to give it a try if I see another person making it. Must try is definitely their noodle soups. read more

They also offer other items on the menu aside form hotpot so the selections are diverse so we will definitely be coming back again! read more
