    Spareribs
    Gary G.

    Not really old school and not really authentic; kind of a middle ground but done well for what it is. Lunch specials (combos) available Monday thru Saturday. Japanese as well as Chinese, but I stick to the Chinese (and, unfortunately, it sticks to me). Hot & Sour Soup: Well above average; full bodied and perfectly spiced. Egg Roll: Excellent pork and cabbage rendition probably made on the premises. Crisp, moist to juicy, and very fresh. Among the best. Beef Teriyaki: Five sticks, all meaty, dark, and well lubed. You could almost tell the texture from the visual, but the texture was even better. Just a hint of pull, but mostly very tender. Flavor was both sweet and savory with a tingly spice element adding to the experience. Very aromatic. Elite beef teriyaki and among the top few I've ever had. Spareribs on the Bone: Very big, very red, very juicy. Interesting that with all that red coating, even on the cross sections, flavor didn't match the wonderful texture. I had no complaints with these ribs, but I was guessing elite and they were "only" very good. Pork Fried Rice: Not light of color, but felt light, more like a Mexican rice texturewise. Not dry but leaning toward it. The plentiful additions of pork, onion, egg, peas, and carrots helped out the cause. Orange Chicken: Somewhat crisp, somewhat sweet. Less impressive than the apps but decent enough.

    Sesame Chicken was delicious. Broccoli was fresh.

    Great Wok Wellesley was a good dining experience. They have good service and delicious food. It is on the smaller side from the interior. We were there on busy night and the tables/booths filled up quick. GWW serves Asian fusion dishes but they are broken down by style. We stuck to Chinese and it was so good. Definitely going back again.

    Wow the new location is gorgeous!…read more A lot more space and I love the new dark modern feel and I'm happy to see the fish tank made the move! The kids alway loved to watch the fish and point out their favorites at the old location. The got a new one today!...Gill that you?! Takara moved around the corner into the old Bagel Table location in May. Large dining area with booths along the walls and comfy dark wood tables. The sushi bar area is in the front and has a lighter feel with a couple tables and is beautifully decorated. - still loving their California rolls...so fresh and tasty - Their tempura is always so crunchy and light and not greasy at all - miso soup so good! - other favs I highly recommend are the edamame, pork gyoza, okdol bibimbop, beef bolgogi, udon noodles (the packaging is great for this. They separate the broth from noodles) Glad to see Takara expanding, such a great gem in the neighborhood! Don't forget sign for their loyalty program! Still plenty of parking in the shared Wayland town center lot

Out of all the places by her in Cambridge, she chose Waku W. Since they were on Uber Eats, it was easy to go for it because, honestly, we had no energy to drive anywhere, much less dine in. Before my daughter placed the order, I called Waku W. to make sure the broth was truly vegan and not made with pork or any other meat. Once I got the green light that the broth was completely vegan, she ordered 2 Vegetable Miso Ramen bowls. The ramen was exactly what we needed after a long trip. The broth was tasty and garlicky without overpowering the miso flavor and every sip was satisfying and the noodles were cooked perfectly with that yummy chew.

The interior has blue and red neon with mirrors that remind me of a Japanese karaoke bar. We were seated immediately and chose the bar so we could watch the kitchen in action. Service was attentive and friendly. It was hot out, so I ordered a Sapporo, which was refreshing, but be warned this is the BIG can, and it's a lot of beer. We tried the fried beef bao to start, which was better than I expected - they fried the bao and it was really tasty. For ramen, I had their signature ramen and the broth was kind of like a hybrid between tan tan (sesame) and tonkatsu (porky) with a bit of spice. It was pretty good, not too salty, but was lacking a bit of depth. I liked the bok choy but didn't realize it didn't come with an egg, so I'd add that next time. The katsu that came on the side had a good sauce but it was kind of dry. Would return to try other ramen bowls when I'm in the area again.
