went for dinner one night. romantic atmosphere! scallop appetizer was excellent. angel hair and gnocci entrees weren’t too special.

Nice Korean restaurant in Shops at Legacy. Sushi and sashimi are excellent if a little expensive (for ex. $12 for 5 pieces of nigiri and 2 pieces of sashimi). Bi bim bap was okay the last time I tried it; I’ve had better in a much more casual place. They have some pretty good bento box deals for lunch. I tried their spicy tofu & seafood stew ($8) which was tasty and chockful of small shrimp, mussels, and one huge scallop; it was a little too spicy for me though, I could barely finish 3/4 of it (and it’s not humongous). Service is attentive (maybe a little too much so, but perhaps cuz there weren’t too many people dining at the time), but the food took a looong time to arrive.

Decent Thai food that’s a little overpriced. Nice, colorful atmosphere inside and attentive waiters. Their fried mango ice cream was wonderful (haven’t had it in over a year though).

Ahh, ramen :) Yummy noodle soups and small dishes in this tiny restaurant (has a very Asian feel) off of Newbury. Cool waiters (they’re in a band called the Ricecookers…haha) too.

I’ve only been here for brunch, but it was superb. Really nice atmosphere, we sat near the window and got to look out onto Newbury street and the patio. Ordered a croissant sandwich which came with home style potatoes, big portions! I could barely finish. My best friend got a fruit plate and some french toast — the french toast was amazing. Prices are okay, service was excellent. Good place to go on a date.

Best place to go for authentic Taiwanese/Chinese food in Boston :) They have this excellent crispy chicken with basil dish that’s addicting. Small restaurant with cute interior (it’s a little under street level) with a bunch of Asian details. Service is okay. They offer bubble tea but it’s a little too expensive; stick with ordering dishes..

Excellent deli sandwiches, pretty busy at lunchtimes. I love the South Beach (or is it North Beach? the one with turkey, cheddar, BLT) and Sicilian sandwiches :) Their bread is really fresh and soft. They have sandwich and soup combos, as well as pizza and salads (which are enormous).

My favorite bubble tea place!
Their tapioca is the perfect chewy-ness :) haha and their drinks are all excellent, although some are a little strange (avocado smoothie anyone?) and some are a little too sweet. My usual is the strawberry milk with pearls, a slushy/fruity drink..mm! Original milk tea is always a safe and yummy option. If you don’t like tapioca, they also have these excellent mango stars or lychee jelly you can put in your drink. They offer smoothies, slushes, lattes, teas, and other drinks :)

Good Thai food for good prices. The atmosphere is casual; you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Not much for decor, but the dishes in general are pretty good. I think portions have gotten slightly smaller since I first ate there, but it’s still decent. Spicy catfish is gooddd. And curry (they have green, yellow, or red, depending on how spicy you like it), either with plain rice or as a fried rice dish, is yummy. I think the only thing I’ve tried there that I didn’t like was their papaya salad.

Very rich ice cream (too rich for me), over-priced. I like their mango and raspberry ice creams. The interior is nice, more sophisticated/grown-up than J.P. Licks, but I prefer J.P. Licks’ ice cream.

I hear they have good breakfast, though, which I need to try!
