Brookline, MA: Fugakyu - "I've tried eating here 3 times on friends' recommendation..."

Review of Fugakyu at 1280 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02446-3718

I’ve tried eating here 3 times on friends’ recommendations, but will never go back again on account of 3 bad meals. I’ve had half-thawed fish, a bad quail egg and basically sub-par food every time I’ve dined here – not something you’d expect from a high-end ...

Boston, MA: University Grill & Pizza - "Good and cheap eats - perfect for a poor college student...."

Review of University Grill & Pizza at 712 Commonwealth Ave Ste 2, Boston, MA 02215-2414

by xiao:

Good and cheap eats – perfect for a poor college student. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, subs, burgers, wraps and even pizza and pasta! Nothing is really outstanding, but this certainly won’t break the bank.

Review of Ginza at 1002 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02446

by xiao:

The sushi here is fresh but rather pricey, so I tend to stick to the cooked dishes, which they do very well. I often have the lunch specials, which range from tempura to una-don (eel on rice) to soba noodles to grilled salmon. Unlike many other Japanese restaurants in the area, the cooked food...

Review of Nud POB Thai Restaurant at 708 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215-2423

by xiao:

Decent hole-in-the-wall thai restaurant that serves up spicy and flavorful food at decent prices. Tends to be a little heavy on the seasoning, but on the whole, a good place to check out if you’re in the vicinity. Free tea is a bonus. By the way, dishes are cooked REAL...

Somerville, MA: Dali Restaurant & Tapas Bar - "The food here is pretty decent, but certainly not great. ..."

2007-08-11T19:21:31-07:00

Review of Dali Restaurant & Tapas Bar at 415 Washington St, Somerville, MA 02143-4346

by xiao:

The food here is pretty decent, but certainly not great. The tapas at Taberna de Haro in Brookline are more authentic and tasty. However, Dali is an excellent place to hang out over a few small bites with friends. The ambiance is great – dimly lit and cozy, although a tad noisy.

Review of EVOO at 118 Beacon St, Somerville, MA 02143-4304

by xiao:

It’s easy to miss this place – a dark window front located in a quiet area just off bustling Harvard Square. We decided to try their $50 tasting menu (offered on weekdays) on a special occasion, and were rewarded with one of our best meals ever. The corn, blueberry and goat cheese ...

Review of Ruth's Chris Steak House at 45 School St, Boston, MA 02108

by xiao:

Everytime I rmention Ruth’s Chris to someone, they dismiss it as ‘just another steakhouse chain’. Yes, it may be a chain, but who cares so long as they do a mean steak. I’ve been here twice for lunch, and twice I’ve enjoyed a perfectly cooked and succulent piece o...

Review of Pigalle at 75 Charles St S, Boston, MA 02116-5431

by xiao:

We had dinner here over Restaurant Week, which may be why the food did not live up to my expectations. The menu was certainly well thought out and sounded great, but the execution was just so-so and the flavors felt a bit flat. My friend apparently had the best fries he’d every tasted, s...

Review of Chung-shin Yuan at 183 California St, Newton, MA 02458-1008

by xiao:

Definitely try the weekend Taiwanese dim sum here! Very fresh and piping hot food. The chinese fried dough (crullers) are very light, probably the best in the Boston area. The place itself feels quite modern and clean, and service is not too bad. They open for brunch at 1130am, but the line st...

Review of Bristol Lounge at 200 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116-3916

by xiao:

Came here for their afternoon tea. Very good selection of high quality teas, but the quality of the tea sandwiches and pastries were lacking. Great ambiance and view (overlooks the Boston Public Garden) makes this a pretty nice place to spend a cozy afternoon with the girlies (or with mum).
