Interesting – but unfortunate – that this is still the case. At one time (say, 1996), it was a good, sort of posh Chinese restaurant, over-priced but
creditable. We last went there in about 2002 and food and service were both mediocre, much less satisfying than at least 5 other Chinese restaurants around Westborough.

Right on. It’s one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in the area and has maintained excellent quality over at least 20 years. One of its best features, for us, is its plainness, lack of pretense, and almost uniquely
modest prices.

What restaurant gives away soft drink refills? Some offer free coffee refills which seems very generous, but that is a rarity too these days. Why should a restaurant give free refills, or anything else for that matter? I can’t imagine why anyone would think they should expect anything for free. Aside from that, $1.75 for a soft drink is CHEAP unless it’s served in a shot glass. I’m curious to know the kind of places you frequent because if you’re getting free stuff, we want some too!

Hmmm, that’s too bad. I haven’t put a review into this place due to me not having been there for, oh, about 10+ years.

Stands the test of time…

Back then, my co-workers and I would visit there lunch buffet quite often…b/c of the quality of the food and how good everything tasted.

Maybe quality has gone downhill?

Too bad. They were a fave luncheon spot for a few years.

It looks like Friendly’s is not the best name for this restaurant, I take it?
