“Great new addition to Allston’s ramen scene. With so many ramen restaurants in Allston, Yakima initially seemed like a just another ramen spot. Their menu, as expected, offered the usual light Japanese appetizers, ramen, and some rice bowls. However, I was quite surprised to find out that their ramen was better than the most, particularly with its exceptional broth. From their appetizers, Takoyaki and Gyoza were solid, but the standout for me was the Aburi Chasu. It was essentially the same pork belly toppings they use on their ramen, and despite being a bit fatty, its tenderness and subtle smokiness were enjoyable. The real highlight was, of course, their ramen. The Tonkotsu Ramen boasted a broth that struck a perfect balance of savory depth, achieving richness without being excessively fatty. While the other toppings were standard, the broth's quality was so impressive that it prompted me to order another one for delivery later on. The Curry Chicken Don was just okay, but it was the ramen that truly set Yukiya apart.”

“I recently had lunch at Love & Light and it was fantastic! The meal was both delicious and healthy, with a refreshing smoothie that left me feeling energized. Choosing from their diverse menu was tough, but every option was tempting. I loved the Buddha bowl with salmon. Portion was generous, allowing me to enjoy leftovers the next day. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in the neighborhood looking for great healthy food and a welcoming atmosphere! Can't wait to go back! :)”

“This place in Roslindale is one of the most tasteful places to eat in the city! And arugula fennel orange salad (which is vegan btw!) was delightful. As was the watermelon sorbet my son enjoyed very much. AND the have things for kids, including bookshelf with books!”

“Place has a great atmosphere. Just wish they had more variety of smoothies. It's hard to find a great smoothie with yogurt in this city.”

“Very unique flavors. The spicy beef noodle actually has a little heat to it. The fried dumplings are full of flavor and the Somsa (beef pastry) is amazing. Fast and easy to get to go.”

“Cheap skewers and tanghulu!! Very thin sugar coating, although some of their tanghulul skewers are frozen so ask beforehand. Their skewers have a great spicy seasoning. Most skewers are around $3. I’ve tried the other places at this food court, and I think this is the best spot by far. Not sure why they have 3 stars.”

“Self-Service Made Simple: 📱 Ordering via an iPad at The Scoop and Scootery offers a seamless and modern way to select your sweet treat. It's efficient and lets you take your time deciding without the pressure of a queue behind you. Vibrant Vibe: 🎨🌈 Step into a visual treat with a flair of modern ice cream parlor mixed with urban chic. The decor shines with its neon signs and rustic wood elements, making it a prime spot for both casual hangouts and Instagram shots. It's easily the highlight of your visit here. Frosted Flaws: 🍨😕 While the ambiance scores big, the vegan vanilla ice cream does not. Described as tasting rather watery, it lacked the rich, creamy texture and flavor one craves in ice cream, vegan or not. The high cost for vegan options—nearly 50% more than regular flavors—didn't match the quality, which was a letdown given the promising array of toppings. A miss this time around, but with potential for redemption if the recipe improves. Enhanced Experience: 🌟🎆 Service: Streamlined and straightforward, fitting the fast-paced vibe of the city. Decor: A delightful setting that adds a splash of fun to your dessert dash. Food: The non-vegan offerings might shine, but the vegan vanilla needs a serious churn back to the drawing board. Looking Back: 🤔💭 The Scoop and Scootery offers an eclectic, visually stimulating environment perfect for dessert lovers looking for something out of the ordinary. However, the vegan options need tweaking to truly stand out. Final Verdict: 🌟🌟🌟 - "A Mixed Bag of Delights" "Perfect for a visual feast and a casual treat, but vegans beware: the vanilla might leave you cold." For a spot that nails the ambiance but might miss the mark on some flavors, The Scoop and Scootery is still a worthy visit for those in the area seeking a cool dessert experience with a dash of artistic flair. 🍦🎨”

“I recently visited this restaurant and had a rather enjoyable experience. The ambiance is pleasant and the location is perfect. We arrived without a reservation but were seated after just a few minutes of waiting. The broth was incredible, we tried both the mala spicy broth and the mushroom broth, and they were some of the best I've had in Boston. The flavors were rich and delicious. I tipped our server 25%, which seemed to surprise him. The reason for the generous tip was to remind the staff that no matter the situation, it's important to always do your best. Even when it feels like customers might not tip you as you deserve, never stop delivering excellent service. While the place is nice, there's room for improvement in their service system. Better communication with customers could lead to higher tips. As a bartender myself, I offer this advice with the hope that the team will read these comments and strive to improve. Thank you again 🙏🏼”

“Beef pho only review. Having sampled pho hundreds of times all over north America my standards are high. Firstly... this is good pho. But... It's the smallest bowl over and after a couple bucks tip we are talking $20. I think one of the downsides to Pho becoming trendy is that restaurants I think reduce their bowl sizes to cater to small women. I remember a time where a large bowl of pho was a meal... now the price is up 75% and value down 75%. That's supply and demand. By the way... its so darn hot in this restaurant right now its not bearable. At least open a door or something it's only about 23 degrees out now and it feels like 33 in here. It's unbelievable I ate as fast as I could and literally ran out. Not even kidding. It's a shame... there pho is good but noodles were done in 4 or 5 bites, etc etc. No value here I'd have to spend $40 per visit. Being a traveled pho expert I can not recommend this place unless it's location is convenient and you're trendy.”

“Such wonderful service. My friend and I went on our Boston trip and they were accommodating and understanding when we ordered a dish super late because my friend can’t eat spicy Mapo tofu (which tasted good to me!) and we got another great dish. The owner, waitress, and chefs were all so kind and made us feel so welcome!!”

“Great homey dumpling spot. Their soup dumpling skins aren’t too thick and there’s a good amount of soup in each one. I also like their crystal shrimp dumplings. The shrimp is well-deveined and everything comes out piping hot. The space itself is nice and clean. Ordering is easy via QR code but paper menus are available if you prefer those.”

“I had an exceptional dining experience at the Mountain House Boston. The ambiance was captivating, and the food presentation was truly exquisite. The staff were welcoming, professional, and kind. Each dish we tried was delightful, particularly the fried rice, green pepper pork, and the grilled beef ribs, which they prepare right before your eyes. The desserts – coconut jelly with sago and rice wine soy pudding were delectable. A suggestion for the restaurant: please consider adding the phenomenal orange-grape fresh juice, which was served at the end of our meal, to your menu. It was simply heavenly! 😊”

“First time here and I was blown away by the freshness of everything! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had, overall super refreshing. I also ordered a caramel iced latte which was just as great! The owner and staff were all very friendly. The atmosphere was also nice with the large windows and mini grocery section off to the side. I hope to come back soon.”

“You have no idea how happy I am to have a banh mi shop open up on this side of Dorchester Ave!! The space is bright, airy and clean. There are is a table and few counter seats by the front window to sit and enjoy your meal. The sandwiches here use super fresh ingredients. The bread just shatters when you bite into it. They are very generous with their fillings. I’m usually a beef banh mi girl but my favorite sandwich here is the traditional Vietnamese cold cut. It’s packed with tasty meat and something is just extra delicious about their sandwich. The vermicelli with beef is super tasty too. Owner is nice and friendly. I have been bringing all my friends to my new favorite bahn mi shop!!”

“My family loves it here. Great atmosphere and super friendly people! We try to get something new from the menu each time, and when we feel like we’ve found our go-to drink, we just keep finding a new fav one! Last time, it was their delicious avocado smoothie and this time it was the Oreo Earth drink for my daughter and the pumpkin cinnamon milk tea for me!👌🏽🤤”

“One of my new favorite poke places in Boston. For the past two months, Kokoda has been my go-to spot for poke bowl cravings. Although their bowls don’t have any unconventional toppings or creative sauces, they strike the perfect balance between the salad and the protein portions. Two of my favorites are the Seaport special and the Crawfish party, and I would highly recommend getting the latter if you’re looking for a protein-rich bowl.”

“We have to come back here! And then not before a flight but until the end (open until later than most of other places in Boston) ... What else could be going on 💃 there late night when there's already such an exuberant atmosphere before 9am. Fast and super nice service, relaxed bouncers outside. Good overview, so one never runs dry but without being intrusive.”

“We were visiting Boston and had passed many expensive Italian pasta restaurants. We just wanted a good, easy lunch for 3 adults and 3 kids. I searched Mexican restaurants near me and Tenoch Mexican popped up. A short 2 minute walk, and we arrived to a cut older, original Boston building with all its charm! It is off the expensive beaten path, but easy to get to and oh, so worth it! The gentleman behind the counter was courteous, and helpful with our selections. The food was generous and excellent! We fed everyone for under $55. (3 adults, a 13 yr old, a 9 yr old, and a 12 year old) Highly recommend!”

“I recommend you stop looking for somewhere to eat and head straight over to Empire. I could stop the review there, but there's a bit more to divulge. We were able to book a reservation the night before as a "just in case" measure, I think we would've been okay just popping in though. Inside the restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Partly because I was hungry, partly because I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and probably mostly because it was freaking cold outside!lol The entire experience was....pleasant. I say that in the most melodramatic possible way. Thinking about the experience it was almost like I'd eaten there 1000 times, even though it was my first. It was far above ordinary, but with extreme relaxation and comfortable pleasantness. Enough, you want to know about the food, I get it. Well, do I really need to go past the 5 Star rating above? Okay, you've twisted my arm. The food was everything you would expect from such an establishment. Preparation was super timely, presentation was appealing, and the taste delighted the palate. Check them out next time you're in the area!”
