Their lomein is very good along with the boneless spare ribs which are top notch in my opinion. They serve meals with some tea which is a nice touch and aids digestion. This place has been there for some time so it's time tested and one of our favorite places to go for American-Chinese. They're really efficient for take out and we have dined in with larger parties too and they accomodated. I really like the interior of the place, very bright and high ceilings, great location on Route 53 south of the Hanover Commons/Mall.

Both times I was in, it was around 6:45pm, and very quiet (a couple of other tables). This last time, I had the sushi deluxe - 10 pieces of assorted sushi, with a tuna roll. It also comes with soup, and salad, to start - and is more than enough for one person. The fish is fresh, and the rice is perfect. The lychee martini is also delicious - and very moderately priced. I really enjoyed both times I ate here - and will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!

There's a fish tank in the lobby of the restaurant that my kids love watching (and who is kidding who, I like watching too). Friends who've dined here with me have always been happy with their meal - both sushi and Chinese options. I also often get take out from Sashimi Asian Cuisine. They offer delivery too, but I live close enough that I don't mind picking up.

Oysters were fresh and briny, octopus was very tender and the Chilean sea bass entree was a hit. My mom ordered the swordfish and although it was also tasty, if you're debating between the two fishes, definitely go with the sea bass. Hubby's 2 lb cowboy steak was impressive and cooked perfectly with plenty leftover. The kids' meals and all the sides were enormous, enough to feed an army. The dinner went off without a hitch and our server surprised us with a mile high chocolate cake on the house. Very memorable night and I would highly recommend for a date night or a special occasion.

Always an excellent time at Alba on 53!…read more What I love is its just minutes away from Hanover Crossing so you can do a little shopping, see a movie and then come here for dinner. Sunday evenings you would think aren't usually busy, but this past Sunday was crowded but luckily there were open seats at the bar. We love sitting at the bar. It's like a front row seat to all the action! They also have a great wine list. I ordered a glass from Burgundy and my husband had a beer. We skipped the starters and went straight to the entrees. I had their Roasted Cod which I did enjoy but lacked a bit of flavor. Although the sauce that came with it was superb! My husband had their Burger which looked nice and juicy. Oh and they have the best fries too. I couldn't help myself in grabbing just one. If you have not yet been to Alba on 53 then I highly recommend you add this as your next date night spot! Cheers~

It was really great. I am a white woman raised by white parents. In the 80s my dad went rogue into taekwondo for a black belt and immersed himself fully in the culture. He began making Szechuan food. I've eaten a lot of Chinese and Asian food and i don't usually go for it because there's so much bad and greasy. I prefer Japanese, usually, but when my dad started cooking Szechuan, we tried a wide variety of very authentic restaurants in Boston Chinatown, I know what I'm eating. This one hits the mark. We tried three things for range and shared. A beautiful rare black pepper and sesame seared tuna over salad, with super fresh fish, the level of pepper was on point. It was great. We had the pu pu platter for one which was a ton of food and delicious. The spare ribs were tender, the marinade on the chicken wings was so nice and the crab Rangoon were little fatties and fully stuffed with the perfect blend of crab and cream. We had the crazy chow fun (foon) with beef but without the spiciness so it was regular beef chow fun. Again the meat was tender and the wide noodles had the right amount of sauce. I had a scorpion bowl, it hit. I've seen some ugly reviews on here and honestly think two of the people whose last names start with S worked together on bashing this place, not cool Brian and Jen. Take out food will always be compromised by packing it, steam and travel. Don't judge food like that. This is the place for a fun first date, get a scorpion bowl for two. Get lit and share the Pu Pu platter to start. Check your compatibility on the old school Chinese zodiac placemat, love this. The ambiance is sultry red and dimly lit. People were definitely enjoying themselves. Gave me all the feels and memories of dark lounges, dens of iniquity, red lamps of my twenties. Ahhh...miss that time. I'm a hard sell. Gourmet garden is really good, and you should go. This is something I have should have enjoyed many times over by now.

This was our first time back to GG in a couple of years - yikes! And not gonna lie, it was…read moredisappointing. We had takeout, which was packed carefully and packaged as neatly as ever - the hot items in one bag, the cold items in another bag -to make it home in a reasonable time. Where things went wrong: Chicken Teriyaki skewers had zero teriyaki glaze and instead were coated - WELL COATED - in a non-removeable green curry covering. There was absolutely no connection between these skewers and teriyaki. None of us cares for curry, so that was trashed since the cat sat back and said "absolutely not!" Pad Thai with the Chicken and Shrimp option had two (2) medium shrimp, so I guess that counts as multiple shrimp . . . the chicken was dry but at least it was plain, no curry. However, unlike the well coated curried skewers, there was virtually no Pad Thai sauce. The sauce that makes the bland rice noodles come to life was MIA. After much discussion and pulling the stuck together noodles apart, we did think that a very scant spoonful of sauce had been added to the very center of the container, making it a bit more Pad Thai-ish than the bare noodles in the other 2/3 of the takeout container. Pulled out the chicken bits and those two shrimp and trashed the rice noodles because I didn't even have a store-bought packet of Pad Thai sauce on hand to zhush it up! On the cold side, the go-to order of sushi Chirashi was good, fortunately because we were down two dishes out of three! Note to self: live and learn, keep to the Japanese side of the menu, and stop expecting a restaurant to do more than one style of cooking well, it never happens the way you hope it will!

It was 6:30 and there was only one other table with 2 couples in the entire place which was not a good sign but we stayed anyway because by then we were really hungry. The greeting at the door was as not warm by any means. Our server was the same.. a young Chinese gal that was actually rude to the people at the next table. I was appalled but said nothing as it was not my business. The food was good but not as hot as it should have been. We certainly would have enjoyed it more if it came to us hot. I usually tip 20% but I gave her 15% and that was a gift! Someone needs to inform these people that how one is greeted in a restaurant is of utmost importance and leaves a long lasting impression. We are your patrons and the people who keep you in business!! The scorpion bowl for two was tasty. Won't be going back that's for sure. Hopefully they will read this review and make the necessary changes to get more people through their doors!
