I love crab Ragoon and no matter where I go I always want to try. I just purchased from Wild Ginger and I am very unhappy. The wonton wrapper is under cooked. The crab filling, I should say what Crab filling. I'm very unhappy with the eight tiny pieces that I received for six dollars....

Very nice and clean restaurant, run by what seems to be a cute asian couple. Not a large selection, but everything that is in the buffet is tasty, unlike the many large "supreme" buffets. Soups are especially tasty, salad is fresh, food not too spicy, just right! Service is quick and helpful. Highly recommended!

General Tso Bean Curd, soggy, not fried crispy like I asked.

Was having a gathering nearby we decided to order food for pick up here. I ordered a general tso's bean curd, specifically asked if they could fry the tofu crispy bcuz I don't like soggy tofu. The woman taking the order said yes. Before hanging up the phone she repeated our order and said "tofu fried crispy". My friend gets back with the food. The tofu is sliced in huge chunks....SLABS if you will and soggy!!! The breading falling off as I attempted to it eat. I paid too much to not get what I asked for.

I tried the Pad Khing and it was very good. I enjoyed the ambiance and the sound level in the…read moredining space was very good. I met with a friend and she enjoyed her meal (and appreciated that they modified her meal slightly to her liking, without mushrooms, too). On a side note, I didn't look ahead that it was a bring-your-own-wine type place, but I was quite ok either way. I would definitely visit again and bring someone with me to try it for the first time too. I really wish I had room to try their Tom Ka soup - I was too full to have that too though.

It was my wife's birthday, and after spending the day in Princeton, we decided to stop for dinner…read moreat a Thai restaurant on our way back home. Somerville is an area we had never explored before, and while searching on Google, we found many good restaurant options. We finally decided to try Origin French Thai. All day it rained heavily, and by 7:30 PM it had become quite dark. Finding parking was a little difficult. Even though there is a municipal parking lot right next to the restaurant, getting a spot still took some time. One thing we really liked was the whole downtown vibe. The streets on both sides are closed for cars, and people can sit outside along the sidewalks, which gives the area a nice European-style atmosphere (though it was raining that day) We had a reservation booked already (highly recommended), and we got a comfortable couch table in the back section overlooking the restaurant. The ambience was really nice -- dim lighting with an Asian-inspired theme. They also have another seating section inside, so the place is actually bigger than it looks in some photos. We ordered: * Tom Yum Goong Soup - Easily one of the best Tom Yum soups I've ever had. After such a rainy day, it felt extra comforting and satisfying. 5/5 * Noodle Curry Shrimp - Crispy noodles soaked in gravy with shrimp pieces and a red coconut cream-based curry. Absolutely delicious. 5/5 * Red Curry Chicken - The gravy felt somewhat similar to the noodle curry dish to me, but it was still really flavorful and enjoyable. 4/5 Overall, the entire experience was wonderful. The food truly made the evening special and created a memorable birthday dinner for us. If I'm ever passing through this area again, I would definitely come back.

The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

Shu House is a great staple if you're looking for authentic local Chinese food…read more The food here is really, really good--pretty much everything we ordered was delicious. The standout for me was the Jiang Bei Hot Sauce Live Whole Fish, which was packed with flavor and absolutely worth ordering. You can split this dish amongst a whole family since the portions are huge! The General Tso's Chicken is always a classic, and I love the tender chicken drenched in tangy sauce. This is where things got a little tricky. We had a reservation but ended up waiting about 40 minutes past our reservation time to actually be seated. On a busy weekend, I understand restaurants can get slammed, but waiting 40 minutes after having a reservation is frustrating. It seems like their weekend reservation situation can get a little chaotic, so just be prepared to practice your patience. Once we were seated, the staff was fine and the service was efficient. Overall, I'll return for the food or get takeout but just be prepared to wait a bit.
