    This Panera was fairly comparable to most other Paneras. I had come strictly for a standard drink around dinner time. The crowd was fairly low mainly with people eating while fiddling on their laptops. I had appreciated that the drinks were self service so I could easily walk in and fill up my cup with what I pleased with ease.

    Chicken Cordon Bleu Melt

    Ordered a sandwich today,while eating it it tasted off, I turned it up side down and found the bread badly burnt from the oven grease. Nasty! Lunch time is over from work no time to bring it back Had to throw it out!!

    Empty Coffee Urns for 30+ minutes

    I am a new Sip Club member and I am disappointed that each time I come to Dedham Panera, the decaf is either empty or luke warm. The management does not put a priority on maintaining the coffee urns as a priority. I took a picture o f the current setup with both Dark Roast and Decaffeinated Coffee empty. A guy complained about Dark Roast and I asked about Decaf. at 10:05. The finally replaced them at 10:35. This has been a regular occurrence at other Panera Breads that I visit. I am on the road several days a week and I hoped the the $10/mo would save me a little money. The Sip Club isn't worth it if I can't get coffee.

    Filthy walls
    Truth R.

    This place had super slow service with a bad attitude and it was filthy. They didnt have any coffee or hot water. The muffin was not fresh. The pastry looked old.

    After a long shift, decided to stop for breakfast and find plastic in my oatmeal. I'm disgusted.

    See all

    Ochi Sushi & Ramen - Mango ice cream mochi - delicious!

    Ochi Sushi & Ramen

    (66 reviews)

    Ochi is an excellent example of a high quality, local Japanese restaurant and bar. It's not…read morecomparable to authentic Tokyo, NY, LA, or Boston, so it doesn't warrant 5 stars globally, but it does deserve 5-stars for a dependable, flavorful suburban Japanese eatery. The food quality is above average, the execution is high, and the service is attentive. The space is clean and efficient, but lacks warmth. We visited the day after a large 1-2 foot snowstorm, and Ochi was one of the only restaurants open in town. I've eaten at Ochi 4x since it opened in 2023, although there's a lot more to explore on its expansive and prolific menu. On this visit, we tried a Tuna Poke Bowl, a Salmon Pome Bowl, a Katsu Ramen, a Mango Salad, and a Mochi desert. Regarding the Tuna Poke Bowl, Ochi took the liberty of substituting more expensive fatty tuna (Toro), for regular tuna (Maguro), a generous and appreciated gift as a thanks for dining on a very slow night due to the storm. Hence, I would recommend everything we tried: the Mango Salad, any of the Sushi, Sashimi and Maki choices, the Poke bowls and Ramen (especially the Spicy Miso Ramen, the chicken Katsu Ramen, and any of the traditional pork or beef Ramen choices). In addition, the deserts are especially worth trying, and are all well orchestrated. You can't really go wrong at Ochi.

    We visited Ochi Sushi & Ramen on a Thursday around 5/6pm and the establishment was practically…read moreempty besides 2 other patrons at the bar. Location is great, there were able 2 employees working the front. Not really sociable with us but very chatty with each other. Pricing is a bit on the higher end for the quality for sure, out of 7 dishes between a group of 4 and 2 were for sure pre-made items only 2 dishes were ok. As for the food itself, I can say it's more on a "cleaner" side vs the extra flavor and oily texture you'd get from a fast food chain. The ramen broth was subtle, the noodle perfect, but the flavor wasn't there. The Chef special roll was way over priced for what you get, especially only having 1 piece being the best out of the "assorted" fish. The hibachi wasn't good in my opinion, good portion though. Would not order that again. The chicken teriyaki flavor was great, chicken texture was more like grilled on a pan vs over flame. Loved the veggies though. The gyoza and takoyaki were good as well as the strawberry mochi icecream. Wish they were more friendly though, making us feel like we were inconvenient for them was a major turn off.

Each time I order, the actual wait is 10-20…read moreminutes longer than the expected time, and the last two times, there's only been 2 people working and 4-5 parties standing there waiting for food. The food is solid but it's a bit pricey and my last time here was the final time. After standing in the store for the usual extra 15-20 minutes beyond the estimated time, a staff member gave us the sandwiches we ordered but said they ran out of soup and could refund us. We stood there and waited another 10 minutes until he came around again and asked if we needed anything. I said yes, we're waiting for the refund. He got another coworker to process the refund for us. She was typing in front of a computer for a few minutes and said she processed it. My mistake that I took her for her word without requesting a refund receipt as the refund never processed. By the time we got home to eat (after stopping at the grocery store for soup instead), the four sandwiches were cold. I won't be back again but if you go, tack on a lot of time before you go to pick up your food and if you get a refund, press for a receipt.

I love how sweet and knowledgeable the staff has been every time my boyfriend and I have been to get a "date night in" meal. There's ample seating and parking (although getting into the parking lot is a bit awkward with the intersection in Dedham). I highly recommend getting the Caprese grilled cheese as it's AMAZING. I've been meaning to go back but haven't had the time recently. Although, I know they had a competition in October/November for Melty fora year and never heard what came of it :(

It pains me to write this review but I hope it's seen by management and they address this issue. I had a friend visiting from another state (drove for 10 hours in snow and ice). I was excited to bring them here for brunch. I made a reservation online the day before just in case. We arrived at 10am and the doors were locked. The hours said they'd be open at 9am. Tried getting the staff's attention but it seemed like we were being ignored. I called the phone number several times. No one picked up even though I could see staff inside. I even tried sending them a message on social media but no response. We ended up going to the breakfast spot next door. When we were done, we walked past the restaurant and of course it was open then. Needless to say, this experience was super disappointing. Communication about updated hours or picking up the phone isn't too much to ask for. One bad experience isn't a dealbreaker but two will be. I hope management fixes this quickly.

We're requesting you when we come back. I had the garlic fries and the pork plantain tacos yummie. The only consistent letdown? No sliced avocado , just guac... and still no pikliz! That extra kick would elevate so many of these dishes. I'm seriously tempted to BMOP (bring my own pikliz) next time. And to the chocolate loc'd bartender... THANK YOU from the whole krew! Not one of us had a drop of alcohol, but your existence alone was the real pour. Orchid, we love you, just tighten up the speed a bit (you discounted the meal) and you would have 5 stars and we would be golden. Keep shining !
