This is an OG Korean restaurant in the metro Boston area. I've been going for about 20 years and…read moretook my ummah (Korean word for "mom") to celebrate her 78th birthday. We both have high standards for Korean food, and she is one of the best cooks of the fare in her heyday. We ordered 3 portions of the kalbi, or beef short ribs. My advice: order a side of lettuce and make wraps. Four adults partook and there was plenty to go around. This will not be the case at newer restaurants like Naksan (one of my favs in Boston). There, you will have to order more and pay more per person for the same level of satiation. Normally, I would also order sliced pork belly to bbq but my mom is allergic -- I know, super sad! I was also eyeing the thick sliced beef with salt and pepper to grill at the table. Next time! Their yuk ge jang soup is ginormous and could easily feed 2 adults to full capacity without bbq. My brother-in-law and sister shared it, along with the bbq. It's spicy but not too much so, and my Caucasian BIL enjoyed it: his spice tolerance is at a medium Cajun level. My family has known the owners for quite some time. They are genuinely warm, hospitable and hardworking folks. As others have noted, the restaurant itself is "well-worn." They've been around awhile, and the interior hasn't been renovated. If/when they do, y'all won't be able to have such great food for relatively reasonable prices. If you ask me, give me "happy dance" food any day over frills and ambiance. They still serve barley tea at the table, and this is provided along with complementary 4-6 side dishes (ban chan). This is no longer a given at many Korean restaurants, and it lends to the old world charm at New Jang Su.

Family establishment! Been around for a long time, and I used to work in the area and eat here with…read moremy partners and team. Decided since we were in the area, the lady and I would give it a go! Still the best available in the area IMO for non-AYCE traditional style. They cook it for you so if you aren't KBBQ savvy, they got you! The wife is awesome she's usually very sweet and cooks your meats perfectly. The hubby, haha he always seems grouchy but no issues. Service is quick and space and tables are ample. The meat cuts are plenty, always go with Kalbi, spicy pork, jap chae appetizer. Of course you also get plenty of banchan to supplement your meal! Will def come back again!

We came to Sichuan Gourmet for dinner and ordered a bunch of dishes to share family-style. The pro…read moreis the the decor and atmosphere is better than most mom and pop chinese spots but honestly the food was just ok. Some of the dishes we got were kung pao chicken, stir fried cauliflower, string beans, mustard green pork belly and sichuan fish fillet. We typically don't eat much spicy food so got everything mild and while the flavors were ok, I thought the fish was too mushy and the pork belly was kind of bland. Everything felt too covered in oil without the punch of flavor the dishes needed. In addition, while the service was fine, the waitress/waiters were quite loud clanking dishes and opening and closing drawers that it disturbed our meal. It's one thing to be in a bustling restaurant but there weren't that many people so the noise was a bit bothersome and really stood out. Overallt not that bad but I'd skip as I've been to better sichuan restaurants in the Boston area.

I wish the cashew chicken didn't have celery. If you dine in you have a choice of soup ( egg drop or hot/sour soup). I asked for no celery over the phone but they added celery still. Portion size is small compared to rice and had the same with bigger portion and more flavor at the Framingham location I've had the lunch special and other dishes at the Framingham location and prefer Framingham over this location. Service was quick and not a bad deal for $14 after tax. It is busy in there and if you aren't a spice fan make sure to ask for modifications. The cashew chicken is not spicy.

My fiancé had made special arrangements for my birthday here. I have never been to The Melting Pot…read morebefore, but he has and has always spoke highly of it so what better way to celebrate than to share his experiences with me during my birthday. The restaurant appears small upon entry, but when we were called to our reserved table, there's a doorway behind the host desk that leads to the back rooms which were very private. The hostess were all very friendly. She lead us to our table where were shortly greeted by our server. She was amazing as well. She was very gracious and had our table setup with the flowers, card, chocolates, and champagne my fiancé had arranged and we started there. She asked the occasion and attempted to get to know us better to make our experience more personalized and a small cake was also brought over. She explained everything in detail and how their menu works which helped us (more me) decide on the best option for myself. There was a lot to choose from. We had appetizer options which we selected the loaded baked potato one. It came with chunks of apple, bread, pretzels, and various veggies such as broccoli, mushroom, carrots and tomatoes. For our main course we selected a broth and different meats, veggies, and seafood and added a couple lobsters. The only issue I had was one of the lobsters was a bit old and didn't taste right. The shell was also already turning a bit red, so it must've been near something warm. Either way, the rest of our meal and experience was overall great. I gave 4 stars because of one of the lobsters being old. The other lobster was fine though. Overall, we had a great experience and I would go back. We left very full and had lots of food leftover so make sure you go hungry.

Now I'm debating between three and four stars, and the sole reason is price. Man, that was expensive for what it was and what you got. We agreed we would come back, but maybe once a year.

They have a huge menu with some images to choose from. It's always so hard to decide because we want to order everything everytime we are craving good Chinese food! As soon as you sit down they bring you a tea pot full of hot tea which is really nice. This time we wanted to try the spicy fried fish and the sand pumpkin and mini shrimp fried rice. The fish was nice and spicy and very crunchy! The sand pumpkin had a nice texture and it was cooked perfectly. Every dish was literally made to order because each one came out hot and one right after the other. By the end of the meal we were stuffed and satisfied and we were happy to have leftovers to take home. This place never disappoints!

Service was strange... hot tea came to table right away and was watered down and minimal tea flavor. I ordered a sesame chicken lunch special which came with soup egg drop soup, spring roll , white rice. I ordered a side of beef teriyaki . Waitress asked 1 or 2 teriyaki ? I assumed how many teriyaki sticks or small or large options? I said 2. Egg drop soup and spring roll shows up with duck sauce... egg drop soup was very good. Spring roll was excellent and filling was fresh. Then Next 2 orders of beef teriyaki with 4 sticks each show up??? She takes away my duck sauce from my spring roll... and leaves me with no duck sauce for my beef teriyaki? I now ask for duck sauce for teriyaki? She brings out a hot spicy sauce instead of duck sauce ? The sesame chicken was very good but more sweet and sour sauce flavor than sesame ? The beef teriyaki was extremely tough meat and I had to ask for a knife to cut up? No glass of water as I saw other tables getting water? I had to ask for water as tea wasn't doing it for me ? Then another duck sauce shows up I didn't ask for but glad it did arrive and was needed? Teriyaki had great flavor but tough like beef jerky and one order would have been enough to tolerate without the confusion of getting 2 orders and then also charged for two ? I found the service confusing and not a smooth outing? Then both the waitresses disappeared while waiting for the check . I asked for a glass of water at this point. No fortune cookie, pineapple or exit offering with the check? All in all I was confused.. but I would eat again here and assume staff trying ... next time I'll be very clear what 1 vs 2 means. The menu does look many good options and convenience with parking, location and nice dining room. I would have rate 4-5 stars but the teriyaki wasn't tender and too tough to enjoy.

Their…read morepastry selection and drink menu both looked promising, and we ordered two different Thai teas, a mochi dessert, and a mooncake. We went with 50% sweetness for the drinks, but they ended up tasting surprisingly bland, so maybe the sweetness level here is a little different from what we're used to. The mochi dessert was just okay and didn't leave much of an impression. The mooncake was also a bit disappointing, mainly because the texture was pretty soggy instead of having the texture we expected. The shop itself was fun to explore, with plenty of interesting drinks and pastries to choose from, but the items we tried were a mixed experience overall. Still, it's a fun local spot to check out at least once.
