Karma in Andover is hands-down one of the best Asian fusion spots around! We stopped in for dinner…read morerecently and left completely impressed. The atmosphere is upscale yet welcoming--modern decor, lively vibe without being overwhelmingly loud The staff was super attentive and friendly from the moment we walked in, making great recommendations. We started with the salt & pepper calamari and some dumplings--both were fresh, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. For mains, the fried rice was spot-on (flavorful and not greasy at all), and the torched tuna with truffle butter sauce was absolutely divine--such a creative fusion twist! The sushi options looked incredible too, and everything came out hot and beautifully presented. Portions are generous, and the quality really stands out compared to other places nearby. Drinks were solid as well if you're into cocktails. We'll definitely be back--it's become our go-to for date nights or when we crave something a little special. Highly recommend Karma if you're in the Andover area.

The food and drinks were very good and we were even brought ice cream for some birthday singing!! The only reason I am giving this 4 vs. 5 stars is the atmosphere was not what I expected after looking at the high gloss menu and the price point. The Salmon on Fire was delicious and honorable mention goes to the Dragon Fire roll (sushi rolls are giant).

The owners/chefs Vee and Chinda, are very accommodating, knowledgeable, and personable. They always are listening to what customers want or wish they could eat -- and then they create it! They are open on weekdays/ nights, but also, every month, they have a weekend or two where they do banquet nights ( pre-fixe). You reserve a table and they serve you 1-2 appetizers, a plethora of entrees, and a dessert! Please please please give this local restaurant the love and support it deserves. They have been going above and beyond for their customers / community for the past 3 years. Context for pictures - follow them on Facebook for latest updates! Photo of their recent post, new/upcoming menu, and recent food I've gotten. For my people that can eat gluten, you won't even know their food is gluten free. It's truly excellent.

Parking is easy even during the holidays or weekends.

They've cut the order down from 8 to 6 wings while raising the price another dollar from 3 months ago. A 10 piece order of wings is now $18; which is on par with every location near me. Even the chicken strips are priced the same. I've championed BonChon to all of my friends and brought lots of people, but these prices are unsustainable. I *LOVE* the product they put out above any of the several other KFC places that have recently opened. While the Cambridge location may stay open, I predict a short window for their other MA locations in this economy.

I've gotta say, I've been converted to bb.q chicken lover these last few years but it's always nice to revisit Bonchon's chicken. This location also has a solid amount of seating available and we didn't have to wait to be seated during dinner time, still busy though! Parking: there is a lot where you can park for free.

I told her I tipped for delivery and she's not even getting onto the porch. Then tonight I order a good $65-$70 worth of food. I miss their phone call and instead of knocking on my door they just leave and bring my food back to the restaurant and then when I called back, they get mad at me.
