Honestly, despite it's small appearance with only a couple tables, this spot has some pretty decent variety for a one-stop shop - esp as it's located across the street from the Newton Nexus, making it a relatively quick and very convenient option if you wanted to order something to scoop up after a quick shopping trip. Though I tried some of the more generic options, they were still pretty flavorful and definitely satisfies my late evening cravings. Would defs come back for more, as they do have a pretty extensive menu for what you can get from this spot... and perhaps re-evaluate this again at some point in the future. read more

Wonder has an interesting concept, bringing together menus from multiple well-known restaurants under one roof and making it possible to order different types of food in a single visit. We walked into a modern, functional space with a streamlined ordering process that feels convenient, especially if you are dining with a group that wants different cuisines. The setup is practical and efficient, designed around quick pickup and shared seating, and the variety across the menu gives you the flexibility to try dishes from several different brands without committing to a single restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the idea. The food felt more like it had been reheated than freshly cooked, and it lacked the flavor and freshness we were expecting. The dishes arrived warm, but the texture and depth of flavor were missing, with some items tasting flat and others carrying that unmistakable reheated quality that makes a meal feel less considered. While the menu offers plenty of variety, the execution did not match the price point, and for what we paid, the quality was underwhelming and did not feel like a good value. The convenience is really the biggest selling point here. If you need a quick meal and everyone wants something different, it serves that purpose, and the ordering process is smooth enough to make the stop relatively painless. However, if you are looking for food that tastes freshly prepared or is memorable on its own, there are plenty of better options in the area. The concept has potential, but the food itself was disappointing. Between the reheated feel, lack of flavor, and relatively high prices, it is not somewhere we would choose to return to. The convenience is appealing, but the quality gap between the idea and the execution makes it hard to recommend for anything beyond a quick, no-expectations meal. read more

Very confusing, ordering system, seems there are two businesses here, one delivers restaurant, food, and the other tries to prepare generic food of any type. When we ordered for delivery, at 4:30 PM on a Friday, they delayed our order twice, it finally arrived 40 minutes late. Driver was very nice. Food was not warm. Food was organized and labeled well. Food did not look appetizing, did not taste all that good. Sandwiches were better than pad Thai. Mushrooms seemed 3-D printed. Onions were stringy. Not a lot of color, might have been better if it wasn't in a car for 40 extra minutes. Lime for the pad Thai was in the bag with the cookie, so we didn't see it. So lame! Brookie dessert looks OK, not very good, oily, and raw tasting. They did give us a $10 coupon for next time, but I don't know if there will be a next time. read more

Last night I placed an order on Wonder and try to use a 40% off promo code I had received. I was unable to use it and assume it had expired so I tried to change the order to use a different promo code that my husband had by mistake I submitted my original order so it was placed without any discount. I tried to cancel online, but the edit order option does not provide a cancellation just items you want to change within an order. I am happy to say that when my husband went to pick up the order, he spoke to a human, and they canceled my order and refunded me and re-processed the order on his account with the discount. So while I am happy with the in person customer service they provided to make it right. I have the following observations about their app and AI help. 1) I could not locate a phone number for this specific location or an overall corporate phone number to call cancel the order quickly 2) as I mentioned the edit order link on the app did not have an option to cancel in order only options to edit the order or contact customer service 3) customer service is all AI and did not respond appropriately to my request to cancel an order. Instead, I get this response and then never hear from a person or a better responding AI "I want to make sure you're taken care of right away. I'll connect you with a Wonder Customer Support agent now who can help." We have ordered from Wonder multiple times since they opened here. And because they did make it right for us I will do so again but with some hesitation. Because if they are going to be totally after driven, they need to have much better AI and I would also suggest better ability to customize an order read more

A great little place that took over the Vitamin Shop on Needham Street. I came during their soft opening and ordered a customizable bowl from yasas and truffle mushroom mashed potatoes from Bobbly Flay. My food was ready by the estimated pickup time and service was easy to get my order. There are a few tables if you do want to dine in, but this mostly seems like a takeout/delivery place as they offer $0 delivery fees. I got a mixed rice/romaine bowl with chicken, chick peas, pita, hummus, taziki, and green goddess sauce. It was a good portion and when I mixed everything together the flavors worked well. The crispy pita chips to the dips that covered the chicken and rice made it a satisfying bowl to eat. The truffle mushroom mashed potatoes had a pretty strong truffle flavor and the mushrooms were small and mixed into the potatoes. Overall, Wonder has so many options to choose from that you'll be wondering what you want to try next! read more

One visit, one person's opinion. There is a lot of hating going on. We were told by an employee that most of the food is prepared on-site--just a few things that require prolonged cooking (like brisket) are made centrally and delivered to each location. It's definitely an industrial type kitchen. Our location has two sushi "restaurants" and a poke place. This employee says there is one station in their kitchen where the food from all 3 of those named "restaurants" is made. The nominal differentiators are the specific items offered by each of the three. All that being said--my first visit--I had a build-your-own-bowl from Yasa's (Greek cuisine) which was excellent! I am very particular about humus, and their humus was really top notch. Everything in the bowl was fresh and delicious. My wife had poke and felt it was good but not great. They have a great model--offering multiple cuisines (if you discount the fact that the three Mexican places are really one, same for pizza, etc) it's still an aggregation that makes satisfying all of group of fussy eaters at one meal much easier. From an economic point of view , they have huge economies of scale since so many things they cook as a base can be utilized by multiple cuisines. I agree with some others that I don't want the mom-and-pop local places driven out of business, but this place seems to offer something worthwhile. I may comment again after I've sampled a few of their other cuisines. read more

Wings undercooked and bloody. They took my review down. Hope they reach out for refund. Over priced and not executed well. 4 out of 12 wings poorly prepared. read more

Avocado in both me and my moms salads tasted fizzy (carbonation), and was brown. Not sure how they look at the state of that avocado and decided to put it in the salad anyways. People working there seemed nice but the avocado really put a damper on the whole salad and got in the way of enjoying the rest of it. read more

The kids working here smoke so much pot at the liquor store loading bay I'd be surprised to hear they got an order right. Seriously stinks up the whole store. I've told them too many times. Probably just call the cops next time. The cameras see them too. Sad, I was excited at the leadup to them opening but, not eating their crap. read more

Lots of shitty fast food in one place. Food was cold. Thai food tasted like it was prepared by someone who never tried Thai food. Horrible noodles. Chicken sandwich was thick and cold - made me worry it was undercooked. Onion rings were good. Chicken wings were cold. And I picked all this stuff up just as it left the kitchen. I don't get it - lots of shitty food all in one convenient place. If the food was actually good, I see how it would make sense, but if I want good Thai food, I'll go to a good Thai place. And if I'm eating with others, we are getting fast food so they can suck it up if the place only has one type of food if it's actually good. If you are ordering this shit for delivery to your home, the variety angle only makes sense if the food is excellent. Lots of shit variety delivered to your home is worthless. It's fast food. It is not gourmet in any way. And for god's sake, don't order fast food home to your family - make something nice. It isn't that hard. read more
