I checked out this place yesterday since it’s comparatively new in the neighborhood. The restaurant has a bar and offers a variety of drinks including sake. Their menu is hugeeee- they have a good blend of vegetarian, fish, and meat dishes. They have a blend of Chinese and Thai dishes. Our server was quick and attentive.
We started with spicy cucumbers 🥒 with garlic and scallion pancakes 🧅The scallion pancakes were crisp and delicious, so try the sauce that comes with it. Loved it. However, the cucumbers were on the sweeter side which wasn’t bad, but I was not expecting that.
We then ordered mapo tofu (vegetarian) 🍛and fried rice. The tofu was unbelievably soft, and the quantity is enough to feed 3 people tbh. But honestly it was a lil underwhelming for my expectations. It is a sichuan dish but it lacked the heat (peppercorns)and spices that I usually look forward to in my mapo tofu. Also, the fermented beans were missing from this dish. The green 🫛 in the dish killed the taste a bit, it was the first time I saw peas in mapo tofu. Again, it wasn’t bad, but I’ve definitely had better mapo tofu.
The fried rice was good, nothing special. Portion size was good. Overall I would say it was a good experience. Maybe il try some other vegetarian dishes the next time I visit.
Great new Asian eatery with some unique Taiwanese fares. We stopped by for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the deep and unique flavors in the simple dishes we ordered. Even their hot and sour soups were a cut above many others in terms of its intensity and authenticity.
We will definitely come back to sample their other menu items.
My family and I recently dined in and I have to say, I am very impressed. The food was all freshly made, tasted phenomenal, and looked very appetizing! The prices were very reasonable as well. We ordered Mango Shrimp, Salty Squid, Doubled Cooked Pork, and Oyster Pancake w/ Gravy amongst other things + drinks. Every item we ordered was perfect to the seasoning and very unique. The bar also had a wide selection of good drinks! The entire staff and overall place was very friendly and enjoyable. Definitely recommend if you are looking for new Chinese/Asian cuisine places to try around the Waltham area! We will 100% be back in the future!
A must try on Moody street. Atmosphere and bartenders were all great. Mai Tais we’re delicious but they also have a large selection of beers, wine, and drinks. Tried alot of food but our favorites were the beef teriyaki, crab Rangoon, and spicy fish. We will absolutely be back in the future!! It is great to finally have a nice spot on moody street for drinks and some Chinese food.
