All I can say for a restaurant in the heart of a Chinatown this would be another choice to eat!

I've been fortunate enough to have some good Malaysian food outside of the Boston area as a standard of comparison. Very spacious inside, quick and kind service with a nice ambiance. One dish that I really like here that stands out from the rest is their roti canai appetizer, which comes with a nice piece of flaky roti that you can dip in a small bowl of their chicken curry. I think this is done well and something I would go back for if I were to return. Their Hainanese chicken rice is not too bad either although recent visits the chicken has been quite bony without much meat. However, what I've been disappointed by is that the food has gotten saltier and saltier with every visit for me. I've also had their nasi lemak and char kway teow before but thought they were just ok.

Fast and cheap, but not good…read more I wish I liked this food truck better, because it is the closest one I have to work. It has a few things going for it. It is one of the only places in Kendall where you can get lunch for less than $10. Also, despite sometimes having a line, food comes out quick. Too quick, perhaps. Nothing is made fresh, which results in soggy sandwiches and reheated meat. It's food, but it's not good. If you have some standards for what you eat, I don't recommend it. If you just want cheap sustenance, then go for it.

I really do not understand how you can not give this truck five stars! Let's review the basics…read more Good Food. Under $5. Good quantatity of food. Freshly made every day. Delicious. Easy website. Facebook page. Friendly people. They donate! Did I mention Delicious? When I say good food, I mean it. I love the taste of this truck. This is an amazing gooseberry's makeover. Don't get me wrong, Gooseberry's was also tasty, but it was a bit overwhelming and seemed a little shady. Momogoose feels legit! They have done asian bistro quite well. I know that they bought a whole bunch of new equipment to deliver the food as hot as possible to their customers. They also go to the length of changing their menu to suit the season. On top of their base menu, they have soups in the winter, sandwiches in the summer etc. Did I mention they have pho? It's not as good as chinatown's, but it's nice to be able to get decent pho without running across town. Now, what gets me is their charity meal initiative. I quote "Meal for Meal is a pledge to our customers that for every meal sold, Momogoose will donate a meal to charity." (http://momogoose.com/mealformeal). Are you kidding me!? Not only do they give me a meal for less than $5, but they also donate something every time someone buys a meal! Now, that's just ridiculous. I work close by there, so I have conveniently started following their facebook page as well as their website blog (www.momogoose.com). They do a good job of keeping you up to date on any new items they will have available and every so often they will have a deal that may get you a free or discounted lunch. I've e-mailed the founders of Momogoose to thank them for doing such a good job with this food truck. It has been a real pleasure having them in the neighborhood. EDIT: They now have an iPhone app that you can use to order food before you get to the truck!

I love doing my research about local places I haven't been and stumbled across Cloud and Spirits. We had a reservation at the bar for 5pm, literally right when they opened. It was quickly filled with reservations but the staff was so attentive and our food was AMAZING. We got the quickle salad, mushroom ravioli and the chili crisp Buffalo chicken. It was all AMAZING but the Buffalo chicken was one of the best things I've ever had. UNTIL, we had the milk bread. Holy. Shit. But best part? Our server / bartender, Andi. She was a friend by the end of the night. She made the best recommendations. The best drinks. And brought the best energy. At one point we almost asked for her number. Overall... A GREAT NIGHT WITH GREAT FOOD AND EVEN BETTER COMPANY. TY ANDI.

We had reservations for 7:30, and when we got there, the place was decently busy - a few empty…read moretables here and there - so we were seated immediately. We ordered quickly after perusing the (rather short) menu, most of which was either small plates and cocktails . Our first plate was the hainan chicken arancini. I really liked the contrast in textures between the crispy exterior and the tender chicken and rice mix on the inside. Overall flavour was not bad, too, but I'm not sure that it was exactly good enough to merit the price point of $18. Next was the Xi'an street noodles, which was probably my favourite dish of the meal. The noodles were very well cooked - chewy but not too soft - and I loved the sauce, with the gentle peanut aroma on top of the various spices they used. One comment was that the chilli crisp, which was tasty, was very lacking (in amount) and as a consequence the dish was really not spicy at all. Finally we had the chilli crisp buffalo chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was boneless (I was expecting something more like chicken wings), which made for very clean eating :) The buffalo sauce was nice (and perhaps a bit spicier than the aforementioned chilli crisp) and the chicken itself was very rich and juicy. Portion size was quite large too and overall I was very happy with this plate. For drinks we ordered the Jaded, which was a fun matcha-themed cocktail (even the marshmallow was matcha-flavoured) and a (spirit-free) cranberry limeade, which was surprisingly refreshing and sweet. Overall a yummy meal, but definitely very expensive. I would be interested to try some more of their cocktails, which seem very creative, but I'm not sure if I would be keen to come again primarily for the food. (To be fair, though, this is often the modus operandi of these restaurants that specialise in small plates and drinks )

Don't advertise a closing time if you aren't going to honor it or if your staff can simply decide…read moreto close early on a whim. I drove 40 minutes with hungry children specifically to come here because I had eaten here earlier in the day with a classmate but had to leave early and didn't get to eat. When we arrived, we were told they had decided to close and that we could only order takeout, even though customers were still seated inside eating. It was clear that the staff wanted to clean and shut down the kitchen early rather than serve us during the restaurant's posted business hours. I completely understand that employees want to finish closing duties and go home, but customers should be able to rely on the hours a business advertises. If you stop seating or serving customers before your posted closing time, that should be clearly stated.

Empire Boston: Amazing Food, Frustrating Service & a Birthday Plot Twist!…read more While visiting my sister in Boston, she treated me to a belated birthday dinner at Empire. I'd checked the Yelp reviews beforehand and wasn't impressed, but it was too late to cancel our reservation. Little did I know, the evening would turn into a whole production -- literally! Let's start with the service because WHEW! We changed our reservation from 7:45 to 8:30 p.m. and received confirmation, only to arrive and be told we were late. Despite showing proof, the hostess said she couldn't see the change and offered us seats in the bar lounge, warning we'd need to eat quickly because the tables would be removed at 10 p.m. for their late-night party. After waiting nearly 10 minutes without service, I spoke to the hostess, who suddenly found us a proper dining table. Great! Except we waited ANOTHER 10 minutes for our server. Thankfully, a barback brought us water. Small victories! Now, the food? THAT was the saving grace! My sister ordered a Lychee Martini, while I went with the Pink Lotus, which was STRONG and much appreciated after that seating debacle! For appetizers, we enjoyed the Wagyu Truffle Gyoza and Blackened Tuna with crispy sushi rice. Both were delicious! For entrées, we shared the Sriracha Buttermilk Chicken with truffled potatoes and Drunken Noodles loaded with shrimp, scallops, and calamari. We also added garlic bok choy because what's dinner without a green vegetable? Everything was absolutely wonderful! The flavors, presentation, and execution were excellent. Honestly, the food earned Empire an additional Yelp star despite the rocky start. Then came the birthday plot twist! By 10 p.m., the restaurant was transitioning into its late-night party scene. The music was getting louder, the crowd was growing, and I was ready to GO! We noticed staff singing and carrying birthday signs to other tables. When our server offered dessert, I quickly declined. After a suspiciously short bathroom trip by my sister, the birthday singing started AGAIN. I told her, "Let's pay and GO!" Except this time, the singing and flashing lights stopped RIGHT AT OUR TABLE! I turned around to see a giant birthday sign with MY NAME and an elaborate dessert platter! My sister had arranged the entire surprise in advance, which explained why canceling wasn't an option. The complimentary platter featured Triple Chocolate Cake, Fried Ice Cream Sundae, and Coconut Flaming Baked Alaska. Everything was delicious, and we took most of it home for my brother-in-law. Despite the frustrating evening, the birthday presentation was beautiful and incredibly thoughtful. Final verdict? Great food, beautiful surprise, but disappointing service. Our server was pleasant and doing his best while juggling several large groups, but the overall experience was poorly managed. Between the reservation confusion, seating issues, long waits, and pressure to finish before the late-night party, it simply wasn't the upscale experience I'd expect at these prices. Empire delivered on the food and birthday celebration, but the service and overall value fell short. Would I return? No, thanks! But shoutout to my sister for pulling off such a thoughtful surprise despite the chaos. She understood the assignment, even if Empire didn't quite deliver on theirs!
