Frank helped us out on our first visit. He's the mug wizard. Since then, numerous employees have helped us. All friendly and welcoming. This is the best tiki bar in Boston/Cambridge area. Probably in the state if I think about it. Legit cocktails. Very, very good food. Veg options. Creative and affordable mugs. An adjacent parking structure (the only one in Harvard Square). The place is unicorn material. I've been here maybe four times over several years. Shame on me for finishing this cumulative review now. The good news is every visit was solid. I've been here as a small and also large party. Sat at both the bar and table. Had reservations and also walked in. Visited in the summer and also winter. Weekends are tough to get in without a resy. It's tiny. And its Cambridge. Weekdays you'll be fine but reserve anyway. It's free. From bar to tables to booths, you're covered with seating. Can they serve a table for ten? Maybe but I wouldn't be that person. Check ahead of time. Drinks are strong. Sometimes sweet but mostly balanced. Food is yummy. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked on the menu. Serving dishes and bowls are fun too: skulls/shells/etc. Enjoy this hidden secret. And don't steal the mugs. Buy them--they're so reasonable. read more

The whole experience was amazing. We sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks each. Every tiki cocktail we ordered was fantastic and we had the pupu platter. Generally pupu platters are average but a good way to get a taste of all the apps. When we tried Wusong's pupu platter, it was amazing! Some of the best Chinese flavors I've ever had. We sat at the bar and watching the bartender Brian work was definitely an experience and entertainment all by itself. We can't wait to go back! read more

We came to wusong road on a trip up to Boston after getting the recommendation from a friend who comes here every time they visit. Funny enough when we visited my friend was also in town that weekend and by happenstance we happened to get to the restaurant at the same time. I would definitely make reservations because I did not realize you would need a reservation for a Wednesday night, but we did. Luckily we were able to give our name and they had a cancellation and were able to be seated within 20 to 30 minutes. The upstairs is pretty cool. I really like the decor. One of my favorites was these monkey lamps they had. The food was pretty good and we had gotten a slider for my son which basically filled him up. My wife and I split a poo poo platter and got an appetizer and that was enough for us. The drinks were really good. We had gotten a few to try. I like my first one and really enjoyed my second one. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she made one and then when we went for our second round she did say she was new to the job so I went with something I knew I would like. They also sell some of their mugs which is a cool bonus. If your into tiki drinks definitely pick up a wusong road branded mug when you stop by. We got two. read more

A little pricey, but in my opinion, very much worth it! My friend and I went here for dinner the other day. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I got the mango sticky rice cocktail, which was served in an ADORABLE mug. The cocktail was strong ($15) but sweet like juice, a dangerous combination. I loved it and had to force myself to savor it with slow sips instead of guzzling it. We shared the pu pu platter for two, which was a bit expensive at 50-something dollars but came with a LOT of food. Plenty for two people and maybe even enough for four. The platter came with a variety of delicious things. There were chicken skewers and beef skewers, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the beef was a great medium rare. There were also scallion cheese quesadillas (yum!), crab Rangoons, and fried fish. The only thing I didn't really like was the vegan egg roll. I could really tell it was vegan, and the veggie filling was too salty for my taste-buds. We also ordered the ma la tater tots. I was skeptical about ordering tater tots at an Asian restaurant, but they were fantastic! Crispy perfection and well-seasoned with a light spice. In addition to delicious food, the restaurant offered great vibes with whimsical decor, friendly staff, and a cute menu inspired by Where the Wild Things Are. read more

I can only speak to the cocktails, as I didn't order any food (though I would love to try it soon as I've heard great things). Every drink my friend and I ordered were incredible! Creative flavors and the most adorable presentation you could ask for. Their glassware is so fun and makes the experience really unique compared to other cocktail bars. The atmosphere is pretty cool as well. It has a dark & tropical vibe that's great for a fun date night or just hanging out with friends. Staff is wonderful as well! read more

Fusion mostly done well. Especially liked the chicken skewer, lotus dumplings, fried rice, and the meat in the beef noodles (though the noodles were more meh). The misses weren't that bad either, just not to my taste, mostly in the direction of too sweet. I enjoyed the mugs that the drinks are served in, but the drinks were pretty sweet (even the ones rated as less sweet). An experience for sure! read more

I've been trying to come here for the longest time! It always seems to be packed or have no availability. I came with some friends on a Tuesday evening at 8:30pm because that's when we could get a reservation! They have an extensive drink list with plenty of non-alcoholic adjustments. I got the dole-whip inspired nonalcoholic and my friend got the mango sticky rice colada, which was very tasty and really did taste like mango sticky rice. The food was overall great and reasonably priced! We shared everything. The coconut spareribs were a good mix of sweet and savory and were also very tender. The tom yum wings were slightly off in their flavor to me, but still good. The scallion pancake quesadilla was fun, albeit a bit simple. We also got the beef sambal ijo noodles which were pretty large and filling. I would love to come back! The atmosphere is fun, the food and drink menus have a ton of variety, and this is a LGBTQ+/AAPI owned business!! read more

Can't wait to go back! read more

Had a lovely experience at Wusong Road. The decorations and ambiance was so vibrant. The 1980s Mai tai was delicious and refreshing. We got appetizers to share. The chicken bao bun was very saucy but I felt like the chicken could have been juicer. The crab Rangoon had corn in it which was an interesting take that was a success. The waiter told us to dip it into the quesadilla dip which was a great idea. The quesadilla was savory. The tator tots were very crispy and a classic. Overall, I had a great time and would love to try the other drinks. read more

Our very first dinner in Boston was such a memorable experience! My friends and I were looking for a good spot, and we ended up in a restaurant that instantly made us feel like we were on vacation in Hawaii or the Bahamas. The vibe was tropical and fun, with a spacious layout that had both a first and second floor. We chose to sit upstairs, which gave us a nice view of the lively atmosphere. The restaurant was not only big but also had a little shop area where they sold mugs, tumblers, and other fun items, it added to the charm. Of course, the real highlight was the food. We tried Wusong Pupu Platter, Sweet Chili Brussels, Chicken Satay, and the non alcoholic cocktails are painkiller, mango pina colada, and saturn, it did not disappoint. The flavors were fresh, delicious, and so worth it. What made the evening even better was the overall energy, everyone was excited, happy, and enjoying themselves. Thank you so much the server even if I don't remember her name. She is the one who gave the good deal for the appetizer and drinks! It wasn't just about eating, it felt like part of the Boston experience. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting the city. It's not just dinner, it's a destination. read more

I loved the vibes and ambiance of this restaurant! Fun for a family dinner, a date, or a girl's night out. My favorite things were the bao buns (I tried the chicken one) and the broccoli appetizer had a nice kick. I also liked the crispy cauliflower appetizer, but it was incredibly salty. The whole family loved the Dan Dan noodles. read more

Vegetarian bao bun was a showstopper. We were both very impressed! Other highlights included the bok choy and gyoza. I would go back to the gyoza any day of the week. Service was great. Every question was answered and the drink recommendations were spectacular. I expected the zombie drink to be worse based on the amount of rum, but it was smooth, easy to drink and delicious! Based on the other pictures, I expected the place to be dim and dark but it was not! The music was not too loud and the atmosphere gets 10/10. Feels like the rainforest cafe! Will be back. Even the drink glasses were for sale! read more

I had the absolute best experience here for my birthday dinner! First of all, the drinks, they were honestly the star of the show. They all come in such cute glasses, well made, and delicious. As for food, we got the pupu platter for 2 and it was a ton of food, my favorite was the snap dragon shrimp. And you have to get the aloha slider and bao (I did the chicken katsu). They were well seasoned and flavorful, definitely need to go back just for these. As for the Dan Dan noodles, hard pass, wouldn't recommend, but everything else was phenomenal. I also liked how you can make things like the bao vegetarian friendly (don't remember if it said vegan) They also gave me a cute little basket and a cake for my birthday, definitely going back for a date night read more

What a cool spot and I loved their lunch combo/happy hour special. We've been to lots of tiki bars but this is certainly one of the best when it comes to their food. If you want a strong drink go with the zombie. I really liked that they rate the drinks by strength and juice. The salad combo for lunch was a good amount of food. You get a choice of shrimp, grilled or crispy chicken. Make sure to get the crispy chicken, the coating they use is awesome. Service was good and we liked the focus on detail when delivering food. The food comes in dim sum containers, very cool. read more

Fun place to celebrate the holidays with the amazing decor and drink and food specials. I appreciate that their menu changes enough that it's been different every time I visit. The mango sticky rice coquito drink was a fav for our table and we all liked the shrimp, wings and scallion quesadilla. The rice was flavorful but it was kind of wet and not very fluffy. Some hits and misses on the food but the service was good and the holiday ambiance is one of the best in the area. read more

Tiki Bars are in a league of their own; they're not really restaurants and they're not really bars. They exist in a weirdly awesome in between world. More importantly, this is the best damn tiki bar I've been too. The appetizers/ pupu platters are impeccable- no seriously, they're fun and flawless. But what sets this apart (aside from the amazing mugs that you can also buy) is they have well thought out mocktails in addition to the tiki drinks with alcohol. On top of all of it, the decor is unreal and over the top. The only drawback is that the location is so amazing... there can be quite a wait if you don't have reservations. Looking forward to going back! read more

Great atmosphere and pretty attentive service. We sat at the bar and service was good. The drinks are absolutely overpriced and mostly ice for $15.00 so be prepared.

One of the best tiki bars I've ever seen. The decor is amazing and you feel like you have been transported to another world. My wife and I met our daughter and her family here for dinner and it was out of this world. We split a pupu platter for two with two more small dishes and it was more than enough for the four of us. The drinks are out of this world too. They also sell the tiki mugs their drinks are served in. read more

The drinks were super fun, we loved trying them all and checking out the cute mugs(which you could also purchase)! The only food we ordered were the tater tots and they were great!

I'd recommend this place for a fun novelty night out! read more

Make a reservation as this place will be booked out during the busy season. Pork bao bun was good and pleasantly large. The pork was slightly overcooked.

Came here with a large group of 10 people to celebrate a birthday, and I'd recommend Wusong to anyone who wants a special experience for a celebration. It's a great place for a larger group, with many shareable items, platters, and vegetarian/vegan options. They also have an extensive drink menu, and very clearly mark the sweetness and strength of each drink, as well as which ones can be made non-alcoholic. Everything was amazing, we got two platters (one regular, one veggie) and we were able to try a little bit of everything. Surprisingly, LOVED the spring rolls which were very basic but so tasty. We got an array of smaller items too, some of which were repeat from the platters bc they were so good, including the sweet chili Brussels, fried rice, short rib ijo noodles, lemongrass wings, dumplings. Just as FYI, their dining menu is much more extensive than what they have online. We were able to bring our own cake, and they came out with the candles lit, and also provided a small gift from the restaurant (a mason jar). Overall, was just a great experience, and would definitely go back. read more

We came to Wusong Road during the holidays because their menu highlights various food allergens in each dish. As we walked into the restaurant, we were giddy with the holiday decorations seemingly covered every possible spot in the restaurant. Our table was on the second floor and there was a massive Christmas tree and more decor every which way, I've never seen a restaurant lean into the holiday spirit so much. We sat at a hightop near the bar and started exploring all the different items on the menu. Our server was very helpful with answering questions about the ingredients in each dish and checked with the kitchen to see if we could make alterations to several entrees. We ended up ordering the tempura, curry fries, vegetable fresh rolls, cucumber salad, Uncle Quan's Fried Rice and the coconut spare ribs. My favorites were the spare ribs, friend rice and tempura. The spare ribs were tender and packed with coconut flavor, the fried rice was light but had the wok flavor that I look for in a good fried rice and the tempura included several unique vegetables, like chinese cauliflower. The only disappointing dish was the cucumber salad, which had virtually no flavor and we weren't the only ones who thought that because I saw a nearly full portion left behind by another party. But all in all the food at Wusong Road was very unique and is a great take on the Polynesian + New England Chinese fusion. read more

What an amazing labor of love! I'm always on the lookout for tiki bars whenever I travel and Wusong Road did not disappoint. Food, drinks, ambiance - everything is art. There are two floors, both are expertly decorated and on point. The food menu is more extensive and themed than most tiki bars. Cocktails were delicious- with well chosen glassware, garnish and swizzle. There was a good mix of classic tiki drinks and modern twists. We had reservations for a party of 4 and we were seated on time. There is a call your waiter feature and ours didn't work but our server was still attentive. I walked out with some new mugs and great memories. This was one of our highlights for our trip to Boston- I would certainly go back to try more of the menu. read more

I will start by saying that I liked a lot of things about this place. I would love to give it another chance. What was good: The vibe: the interior was fun, moody, but eclectic with cute decorations throughout. I wouldn't change a thing about the decor. The only confusing thing was that I gave my reservation at the front, the guy told me to go through a few curtains and then there was no one to help me to the table. I wasn't sure if I was just supposed to wander around and look for my friends... The drinks: I only had 1 zombie (they have a max of 2 per person because they are BOOZY!), and a sip of my friend's flamingo. I don't love super fruity cocktails, so the zombie was perfect for me. There were 6 of us and everyone liked their drinks. The glassware is to die for and they have it for purchase if you're so inclined. The food: It was generally small sharing plates. Some things were easier to share than others. Some of my favorites were the cauliflower, the dumplings, the cucumber salad, and the scallion pancake. I had the sweeter chicken wings, which were fine. I wish I had tried the spicy ones. The spring rolls and bao buns were hard to share, so I didn't even try. So! If the food, drinks, and ambiance was good - what happened? We had a 6 PM reservation, ordered quickly, and got our food just before 7. That was all fine. We ordered our 2nd and final round of drinks at 7 PM and asked for the check at that time while informing our waiter (I believe his name was Leo) that we had an 8 PM show to get to. The drinks came out after a while, but no check. At around 7:30 we asked for the check for a 2nd time. I then watched our waiter walk around to other tables and take various orders. By 7:50, I stood up, put on my coat and let them know we'd be walking out if we didn't get our check. Now, that's not my style, but we had to ask 3 separate times to pay. 3 times in 50 minutes. There is absolutely no reason for that. Did I mention this was a Tuesday...? Anyway - I want to give this place another chance, but after a nice meal, the service put us all in a bad mood and we literally had to run to our show. Don't be on the clock at this restaurant... read more

Fantastic tiki bar! Drinks were delicious and the prices were some of the cheapest I've ever seen at a tiki bar and quality was not compromised at all! Just as good as other great tikis bars we've been to. We had the zombies to start, they are strong and delicious. Also tried the Vic's Mai tai and the breath of the dragon, both awesome as well! The food is also very good! We had the beef skewers, sambal fries and chicken satay. All had a really good flavor profile. Service was very good as well, our server was attentive and friendly. This place is a must try if you are in the area! read more

All things were right!! We walked upstairs and were seated such a cool vibe in there. It did take a few minutes to get the server but they were def busy for a Tuesday. I ordered 4 drinks the private cask mai tai, the Saturn, the zombie, and the dole whip with the rum. All drinks were balanced and properly made. My fave was the Saturn. Different take on it but delish. The zombie was proper but def a small drink. The food all things we had were wonderful tasty hot and delish. Lots to choose from the fried chicken was a def standout for me !!!and I loved the fries even tho I'm not a fry person. My daughter loved the dessert creme brûlée also. This place is the only truly legit tiki in the area. Def go and take a piece of them with you when you buy a mug. Great selection. !!! read more

First time there today and we loved our experience. We (hubs and I) shared the tater tots, bok choy, cauliflower, crab Rangoon, Dan Dan noodles, pork dumplings, and firecracker shrimp. Our favorites were definitely... oh wait pretty much everything we ordered. The tiki cocktails were also very well balanced and delicious. Ambiance is fun, lively, and colorful and service was attentive. My only criticism was that it was kind of cold especially in the back where we were sitting so hopefully next time we get to set more centrally in the restaurant. read more

The vibes are fun! They do great seasonal decorations. I came here on a Sunday afternoon with a few friends to try some of the drinks. It was rainy, so it wasn't too busy at all. They have a super fun menu, with fun names and drinks. The beverage cups are also very nifty and they do sell them if you'd want one. I tried one of the matcha cocktails that came in a cute take-out style cup. It was really good! I do find some of their drinks pretty strong but this one was not bad at all. The food was alright in my opinion. It's pretty pricey, but sometimes they have seasonal items, which are fun to look at and eat. My friends and I just shared the pork buns and they came with skeleton faces on it. Overall, it's a great place to hang out with a few friends! I would come again to try their drinks and check out more of the decor. read more

I was the first person into Wusong Road when it opened at noon for lunch. I ordered and waited. And waited. And waited. After 40 minutes, a waiter (not the one with whom I placed my order) came and asked me if everything was good. I said, "I don't have any food. How could it be good?" He sent my waiter back to my table. My waiter asked, "Um, what did you order?" I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "Um, your order never got placed. Sorry." By this time, I'd been sitting at the table for 45 minutes. I told him I had to get back to work because my lunch break was almost over. I told him that because of him, I would have to skip lunch today. He didn't say anything. On the way out, the host asked how my lunch had been. I told him that I had waited 45 minutes and then learned the order had never been placed. I told him that I would not be able to have lunch today because I had to return to work. He also just mumbled "sorry." No one offered any way to make it right. No one said, "Let's see if we can quickly fix you something to go." No one said, "Here's a discount coupon for you to come back." Just a mumbled "sorry." read more

The place looks amazing, especially during Christmas time! The staff were nice and friendly! They always came to our table with big smiles on their faces. Even when my friend didn't like her drink, it was no problem at all for them to make her something else. As an avid Asian eater, I wasn't too impressed about the food. It was ok but maybe I expected more from an Asian fusion place. The pork in the fried rice as well as in the buns was really hard and hard to chew. The ladybug bun was really cute!! read more
