GLUTEN FREE When I was diagnosed with Celiac I lived in Maine and could never have lobster rolls because no one had GF bread. 10 years later dream come true! And the CHOWDAH!!! Also gluten free! And they were so careful. A lot of people showed up after us and they waited to get those orders out so mine could be safer. VERY thoughtful, could not care less about waiting. I'm in love. From time to time I find my fantasizing about this meal, I'll be back!

Luke's Lobster serves fresh, delicious, and flavorful seafood. Everything we tried was really tasty, though I felt the portions were a little small for the price. Even so, the quality of the food made it worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back!

I had no idea this pop up existed! Such. Pleasant surprise. I was going on an October foliage walk along the greenway when I stumbled upon this food window for Luke's. I was just looking for a snack so I was also pleasantly surprised that they do half sized lobster rolls as a "kids meal" type thing. They have so much outdoor seating as well. The mini lobster roll was delicious and I was very happy!

It was cool to be able to get all three type of rolls as a flight. It was a tasty way to start our stay in Boston.

Clam chowder

The cold lobster roll was delicious. Served neatly in a tray. An abundance of lobster meat. No lemon wedge but it was great anyway. Chowder was smooth and had plenty of clams. Outdoor ambiance is clean and nice with a view. Quick and friendly service.

Gorgeous location

The staff is very helpful, inviting and made me excited for being here. The location is fun and positive vibes and local music EVERYWHERE. Great feel. The presentation of the food along with the freshness of the tomatoes and lettuce and the delicious texture of the lobster was absolutely mind blowing. I cannot WAIT to try the other locations. Next stop is Newport!

Came here yesterday as my friend and I initially went to a different location and were told they had ran out of gluten free rolls (she has celiac). So we came to this location which apparently hasn't been open very long and luckily they had both bread types in stock. I got the regular. Hers looked kind of like a hot dog bun but she had zero complaints and said it was great. Both breads were buttery and garlicky and warm. The lobster meat was cold and the combo was phenomenal. Best lobster roll by far this entire trip. Don't let the fact that it's a chain detour you from trying it. 10/10 no notes

“The 4oz of lobster meat was tender and delicious, and complemented but not overwhelmed by the creaminess of the sauce.”

I actually think this would be the perfect spot to solo dine! It was busy for Friday night dinner but I managed to grab a table for 1. First you order by the entrance & after ordering, they you a table to sit + bring your order to your table when it's ready. You have around 40 min max to eat (when it's busy). I ordered just the Spicy Roasted Miso Avocado Sushi Roll (4 pieces), ~$10. This served as a great snack! It was flavorful, but of course had no meat because they do vegan dishes + ramen here. I remember coming here before, a while ago, and not being the biggest fan of their ramen. Not really because it was meatless but the broth was a bit too thick for my own personal liking. So, I would definitely come back again and get this avocado roll! I might consider trying their ramen again too. Staff were very kind!

But this place completely lives up. 6 different ramens, $17.95 for the regular bowls. I was recommended the red hot miso ramen, a spicy option. You order up at the counter, and they give you a buzzer that buzzes when your ramen is ready to grab at the counter. The ramen was ready in under 10 minutes. First, the broth was remarkably complex and rich, with an endless depth that never became too overbearing -- perfect. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well, served up in a decent portion. Toppings-wise, you get tofu, soy crumble, corn, arugula, and sprouts, along with plenty of sesame seeds. I would've liked some proper greens (other than a few raw arugula leafs), but that's the most minor of complaints. Service was decent enough -- informative and helpful in describing the options. All in all, top-notch vegan ramen. Highest recommendation.

There seems to be a lot of take out so if you're at a nearby hotel, it would be easy to order and take it back. TONKOTSU KARA MISO RAMEN - Very tasty with a little spice, the ramen noodles seem fresh. BARA TORO CHA-SYU - pork cheek - very good and very worth the extra money to add it on. The flavor is fantastic and they put it on the side so it doesn't overcook. NEGI NAMBAN - Our favorite of the two bowls ordered. The menu says to beware of the spice, but it is not bad. I added the chili oil that was on the counter. I was very happy with my order and would order this Ramen again. We got a side of the marinated hard boiled egg, cooked perfectly and it was great. We ordered the regular sized bowl and we were both very full and ready for a walk. There was another ramen bowl that was on a limited time menu, but we didn't see it so maybe next time.

Fair warning-- this is a small restaurant in newbury street so there tends to be a line. There are…read more3 outdoor tables with umbrellas on top. My friend and I got seated at the table because the group of 4 weren't all present. I ordered the Shio (salt) ramen here years ago and felt like it was on the saltier side so this time I tried their Miso. The difference between a small and medium is 1 piece of cha siu. Unfortunately, rather than cha siu it felt more like braised pork belly-- it wasn't tender nor melt in your mouth but it was rather fatty and chewy. Due to the aforementioned line, we did feel kind of rushed since two servers kept coming by our table and asking if we were ready/finished when we were still eating. While I did enjoy my experience of dinner here, I'm not sure if I would recommend Santouka as a "must have" ramen place in the area.

My go-tos are the mushroom pie and clam pie, both of which are super flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients. They pair really well with the shaved brussel sprout salad, which may be the perfect salad in my eyes: thinly shaved brussel sprouts, crunchy roasted hazelnuts, and slices of parmesan cheese. Not too saucy but extremely refreshing!

I just had a disappointing pizza experience at Area 4 (rated 4.4, one of the highest in the area)…read more My sister even said she preferred dining hall food, and we both agreed that Domino's was better. The service was poor from the start. The waitress told us we would be seated at the bar. She rolled her eyes and appeared visibly annoyed when I asked if it was okay that my sister was under 21. She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty. The dough was decent, but not impressive. I kept trying to convince myself it was good, but it fell short. Pizza: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Would I return? No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.

A few staples are the golden chicken nuggets (top with chili crisps for maximal flavor bomb), wood ear mushrooms (delightful texture and chilled flavor), and braised beef noodle soup. Come on a weekday lunch for a $20 steal! Evenings (even on weekdays) have a wait, but scan the QR code to get on the waitlist and stroll Cambridge in the meantime. Ambiance is a little rushed with tight spacing between tables, but it's prompt service and a clean place, with soft music to maximize conversation

Excited to see all their success and expansion over the past couple of years. It's tight inside and I'd recommend getting there earlier than expected. Kind and quick service. I thought my first visit was just fine. The spicy oil seaweed salad appetizer was nice and refreshing which a bit of a bite from the seaweed pieces, which I liked. A friend and I also split their big plate chicken and hand pulled beef noodles - I thought both were just fine and I found the broth to be quite light and clean when I am used to deeper and richer flavors in this type of Chinese cuisine, so I wasn't overly impressed initially. I've gone back a couple of times and I think I found the dishes that really sold me. I absolutely love their chili oil beef rib noodles - it is one of their signature dishes for a reason. I think their chili oil has excellent flavor, the noodles have a great biang biang/qq texture, and the beef rib was so tender. Both of their mushroom appetizers - the fried ones and the woodear mushroom salad - are also spectacular. For some reason I am just not a fan of their noodle soups like their Lanzhou beef noodle soup, and much prefer their saucey noodles.
