    Jerk Chicken
    DeeShawn R.

    Ordered takeout for pickup. Had Cajun salmon pasta and jerk chicken plate. For the Cajun salmon pasta, the portion was huge, and an abundance of salmon. The flavor was really great too. This dish alone was 5/5 for me For the jerk chicken plate, unfortunately, I'm disappointed with only 3 small chicken pieces and the rest was rice. The flavor of the chicken was great though, heavily seasoned. This dish was only 4/5 and overall I give 4.5 but since I can't do half scores, it gets a total of 4/5 since the jerk chicken plate could've been better and I give out 5 starts sparingly

    This review was hard. My most recent visit was a 2.5 but I have had catering from ZAZ, and it was a solid 4. The menu items are creative. The food is good overall. However, some of the chicken on my last visit was burnt. I do not mean charred to enhance flavor. I mean it was burnt and bitter. I learned that Chef O was not there. I didn't bother asking for anyone else. My order was not nearly as good as the catering. The service was friendly but slow. No one was at the front to take my order. I just had to wait a bit. I am not sure if the catering chefs are different. I'm not sure it will be one of my regular spots but I have heard rave reviews for their brunch and catering.

    Jerk Salmon Hush Huppies, Jerk Jackfruit Empanada, Plantains
    Tony T.

    We tried the food truck at the Boston Seaport holiday market. The Jerk Salmon Hush Huppies was my favorite. It was warm and crunchy on the outside, soft and savory on the inside, and paired very well with the provided sauce. It kind of reminded me of potato balls. The Jerk Jackfruit Empanada was okay. It was kind of bland and I couldn't really taste the jackfruit. We ended up dipping it with the Hush Huppies sauce for flavor. The plantain wasn't ripe enough and were also kind of plain.

    Got takeout tonight from a delivery. I've always loved ZAZ, their flavor is consistent and always great. Tonight I got a couple things, this is the jerk chicken dinner and hush puppies. This is the most flavorful meal I've eaten in a long time. Just perfect.

    My teens and I love the shrimp fried rice. I had them cater a 50th anniversary event and it was impeccably done. The flavors of Thai and Caribbean flavors were on point and not to be slept on. Wonderful team to work with. Parking is tough in the area but it's so worth the little Cleary Sq walk.

    Bbq chili jerk chicken with white rice and broccoli
    Lourdes J.

    This was my first spot to ever get jerk chicken and they did not disappoint! First we had the jerk chicken with the thai basil fried rice and broccoli. The chicken was so juicy and tender it literally fell off the bone!! And it had this smoky flavor that just made everything so much better ! The fried rice was super yum and full of flavor. But what got me was THAT SAUCE! Omg I'm not sure what that sauce was but it was sweet, spicy, not too thick and a perfect dip for the jerk chicen! Next we had the BBQ chili jerk chicken. The perfect combination of spicy juicy and saucyyyy all perfect parts to a bomb chicken plate! I can't wait try the rest of their menu P.S they are currently offering takeout and delivery

    Jerk Shrimp w/ Thai Basil Fried Rice & Plantains - $22 Jerk Chicken w/ White Rice & Black Beans - $20 Passion Fruit Mimosa - $10 ZAZ is giving RANGE BAYBEEE. They're a local black-owned business that serves a variety of Caribbean/Asian fusion dishes. I ordered the Jerk Shrimp w/ Thai Basil Fried Rice & Plantains. The fried rice was on point & the sweet plantains were fried to perfection + not greasy at all. The shrimp gives you that seasoned smoky flavor. The shrimp was a little spicy for my liking but that's because my spice level is weak af lmao but I couldn't stop eating it. The sweet chili sauce is the real game changer. It paired perfectly with everything in my bowl. They also have alcohol drinks such as mimosas, sangrias, & beer. ZAZ has recently expanded & renovated their indoor & outdoor patio space, so definitely check it out for dine in! We arrived there a little late for reservations & it was an awkward atmosphere when we walked in at first, but later we felt reassured by our super nice waitress, Geena. The owner/chef is super chill & friendly, so look out for him & his dope shades. Also, keep in mind this isn't fast food so you may have a little wait for your food. Quality does take time & the food is made fresh to order. I highly recommend checking this place out! It's definitely a must if you live in Boston & great for a lunch date. Loved the afrobeats/dancehall music in the background. I can't wait to come back for brunch & try everything else on the menu! Disclaimer: Cash + Cash App Only for payments. Their menu changes so make sure to check their page beforehand. If you're looking into takeout, call to make an order ahead because of the wait.

Champion Chicken with Clams: The signature dish, a bit too spicy for me... The chicken was very tender. Flash-fried Sliced Snakehead: The best dish of the meal! The fish slices were so tender they melted in my mouth, mildly spicy but very fragrant, with a slightly sweet and sour taste. Golden Crispy Pork Belly: The dipping sauce was quite unique, a complex flavor of salty and sour, I didn't know how to describe it at first... Kung Pao Lava Tofu: Compared to authentic Kung Pao, it was a bit more like sweet and sour, but it suited my personal taste. Lava tofu is also a Yunnan specialty! Yunnan Ham with Mixed Mushrooms: The mushrooms were okay, quite fresh, but lacked wok hei (wok aroma), and the ham tasted really like overcooked lean meat. Handmade Braised Pork Soup Dumplings: Very pre-made, thick skin, sweet. Not recommended. Chinese Broccoli Hearts with Sesame Sauce: A savior for Cantonese vegetables... Similar to Caesar salad dressing, though a bit unusual, at least it's not spicy.

It was our first time here, and the first thing that stood out was the price. We thought Seattle was expensive, but this was on another level. The food came out hot and at a reasonable pace, but unfortunately, the taste just wasn't there for us. The fried pork was especially disappointing because it was very chewy. The one highlight was the fried mushrooms, which we really enjoyed. Overall, for the price and the food quality, it just didn't feel worth it. Probably won't be back.

We walked into a space with an energetic atmosphere, an open kitchen, a lively dining room, and a contemporary design that makes the restaurant feel both casual and polished. The layout encourages ordering several dishes for the table, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to build a meal that feels different with each visit. The small plates are the biggest draw because they let you try a wide range of flavors without committing to a single entrée. The pork belly buns are one of the signature dishes, featuring tender pork inside soft steamed buns with a balance of sweet and savory flavors. The dan dan noodles are another standout with their rich, spicy sauce, while the Brussels sprouts have developed a strong following thanks to their crispy texture and bold seasoning. We also appreciated that many dishes are available as half portions, making it easier to sample more of the menu without ordering too much food. The menu offers a good balance between familiar favorites and more creative dishes, with each plate feeling thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, making it easy for groups with different dietary preferences to find something they enjoy. The service matched the pace of the restaurant during our visit. The staff were attentive, dishes came out steadily as they were ready, and the servers were helpful with recommendations for building a meal around multiple small plates. The restaurant stays busy throughout the evening, so making a reservation is a good idea, especially for dinner or larger groups. Myers+Chang is one of the better places in Boston for creative Asian-inspired small plates. The combination of bold flavors, shareable portions, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong service makes it a restaurant that is easy to return to, especially if you enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of ordering a traditional entrée.

    We've been here twice before and always had a good experience, so for my boyfriend's birthday he…read morerequested hibachi and I decided to bring him back. There was plenty of parking, and upon walking in the restaurant looked very clean. Since it was close to closing and I had called ahead, we were seated right away at a hibachi table with just the two of us. There was an extremely loud birthday party seated next to us, but that's not the restaurant's fault. While ordering, I wanted to get appetizers and sushi before our hibachi meal, but I felt a little rushed by our server. On a previous visit I remembered there being a Tuesday appetizer special (I thought it was half off), but when I asked, I was told they had never offered that promotion. Food: * Rock & Roll Roll - 8/10: Fresh and tasty, although the crab had a slightly stronger smell than I'd prefer. * Shrimp Tempura Roll - 9/10: Very good, but I asked for extra eel sauce and was given barely a tablespoon. * Steak & Shrimp Hibachi - 5/10: The flavor was excellent and everything was cooked exactly as requested, but the portions were surprisingly small for the price. * Chicken & Steak Hibachi - 5/10: Again, the flavor was great, but the portions were disappointing. We ordered extra chicken, which ended up being a good decision because the regular portion was very small. Each plate had less than a cup of rice, and although I requested extra mushrooms instead of zucchini and carrots, that substitution wasn't made. * Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - 10/10: Easily one of the best items we ordered. Perfectly crispy with great seasoning and just the right amount of spice. * Scallion Pancakes - 9/10: Crispy and flavorful, but they could have used more scallions and a larger portion of dipping sauce. Drinks: I ordered a lemon drop martini made with tequila, but it tasted like it was made with vodka. I asked if it could be replaced, but that request was declined. They brought me pineapple juice to try to make it more drinkable, but it didn't help, and the drink still remained on the bill. That was definitely a 0/10 experience. Our hibachi chef was fantastic. He was engaging, acknowledged my fiancé's birthday, and honestly made up for the lackluster service we received from our waiter. One thing diners should be aware of is that an 18% service charge is automatically added to the bill, but it isn't verbally mentioned. It's listed as a "service charge" on the receipt, so it's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. I asked about it to confirm, then tipped our hibachi chef separately because he deserved it. The receipt also includes wording encouraging additional gratuity, which could easily lead guests to tip twice if they don't notice the automatic charge. Overall, the food quality and flavors were still good, and the hibachi chef made the experience enjoyable. However, the rushed service, disappointing portion sizes, drink issue, and lack of transparency about the automatic service charge kept this visit from living up to our previous experiences.

We were looking forward to relaxing, enjoying some good food and having a little sake. We've been to Masa several times before and our previous experiences have generally been very good. The food is consistently delicious and the hibachi chefs usually put on a wonderful and entertaining show. Unfortunately, the wait staff can sometimes be less than pleasant, although we were fortunate to have a great male waiter that evening and our chef was entertaining as well. Our waiter was doing his best, but he was busy attending to the other tables. At one point we had dirty soup and salad bowls sitting on our table and there was simply no room left for them. We tried to hand them to one of the female waitstaff members who was nearby, thinking it would be a simple and reasonable request. To our surprise, she flat out refused to take them and told us that we needed to wait for our waiter. Given that the restaurant was busy, this came across as unnecessarily unhelpful and added to our frustration with the service. Things were going very well until around 8:30 PM. We were seated in the back section with several other families and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Then a very large group of young adults arrived, apparently celebrating some type of event. They came in with oversized speakers and began playing very loud music, parading and dancing around the restaurant and generally taking over the atmosphere. What was especially disappointing was that the restaurant staff did not appear to do anything to address the situation. The noise and disruption became so excessive that it completely changed the experience for everyone seated in the back section. Families who had been enjoying their dinners began leaving, including my family. What should have been a relaxing Friday night dinner turned into an extremely loud and uncomfortable experience. I want to emphasize that we have enjoyed Masa Hibachi many times in the past. The food is good, the hibachi chefs are entertaining and when the atmosphere is under control, it can be a great place for a family dinner, etc. Unfortunately, the lack of intervention that night, combined with some of the service issues, really hurt the experience. If you're looking for a quiet or relaxing family dinner, I would strongly recommend avoiding Masa on Friday or Saturday nights, especially later in the evening. Based on our experience, it can turn into a madhouse and the restaurant should do a better job of making sure one large group doesn't ruin the experience for everyone else.

We started with the pork jowls appetizer. They were flavorful on their own, but the accompanying dipping sauce added an extra layer of bold flavor for those who want it. For our main dishes, we ordered the Tom Yum noodle soup with chicken and the Pad See Ew at a medium spice level. Both dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. A word of caution: their spice levels are definitely on an authentic Thai or Asian scale. If you're accustomed to typical American spice levels, medium here may feel quite hot. I love spicy food, so the medium level provided a great balance of heat and chili flavor. My husband, however, found it too spicy. The Tum Yum noodle soup featured a rich, savory broth with just the right amount of sourness. While I really enjoyed the dish, I noticed that many of the noodles were broken into shorter strands. We also shared the Thai Chili Fish, which came with two large deep-fried fish fillets and a generous bowl of sweet and savory chili sauce. The sauce reminded me of sweet-and-sour sauce but with a stronger chili kick. The flavors were fantastic, although the presentation could have been better. The host/servers consisted of just two people, but both were friendly and welcoming. The woman serving us was especially funny and entertaining, which added to the overall experience. Overall, I had a great meal and would definitely return whenever I'm in Boston. There are several other dishes on the menu that I'm eager to try.
