    *Pho 29S Giant Rib (Spicy)
    Erica C.

    29 Bistro is an amazing and delicious spot for Thai and Vietnamese food. The minute I walked in, I felt transported. Everything about my experience from the food, to the decor, to the friendly staff felt so warm and welcoming. I came here on a Thursday night with two friends. We were seated immediately with no issues. We ordered the Pho Ga (chicken pho), Pho 29's Giant Rib, and Grilled Beef Bun (vermicelli). The broth was super fragrant that warmed the soul. And the giant rib was so tender that the meat fell off the bone. The vermicelli was also very light and refreshing. The entire meal was so satisfying! There is plenty of street parking and lots of shops close by to spend the afternoon or evening in Dedham center.

    Great food and really nice restaurant if you decide to eat in. Boba is great lots of options.

    I've been wanting to come here for awhile now so finally tried it for the first time. I got the grilled beef rice plate which is my go-to dish at most Vietnamese restaurants. This dish was very good and met my expectations. Will definitely come back here as the flavors are very authentic for good Vietnamese. Didn't get to try the Thai so not sure if it meets my expectations for good Thai so will have to come back and review that. @29bistro

    We got pho (excellent, delicious broth), bún vermicelli with fried tofu (light and delicious, fried tofu was well-seasoned), and massaman curry (smooth, potatoes well cooked, tofu great). The Thai iced tea was also well-steeped. All-around great food and this will definitely go on my list!

    I hesitate to write about this spot due to wanting it to stay a hidden gem. But I think you need to know about it, so here goes. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. They magically always get my order right. The ambiance is nice- it has an airy cafe feel. I love the mural on the back wall. I've tried their Pho, vermicelli bun, pad Thai, fresh rolls, etc and will definitely order them again. My one gripe is that I would welcome a larger portion of veggies in the curry. It looks more like a lunch-special size vs the meal size that I'm used to from other places. I really appreciate that they will steam the tofu in the pad Thai, unlike many places where you can only get fried. It is a testament to the freshness of the food. The shrimp is great- the portion size is generous and it's alway fresh. It's tricky to find at first, because it's tucked away on a side street, across from the fire station. But it's easy to get to once you find it and there's plenty of nearby parking. Enjoy!

    This is our half dozenth time coming here due to convenience to home and it has been a joy to help out small businesses. The quality of the food is consistent every time we come. For variety it's the place to be, versus the other place further down which is more Thai centric. Usually we order different varieties of the Pho soups, sometimes the spicy ones and sometimes the mild ones depending on the the kid's tastes at the time. The appetizers are also cooked fresh to order and never lacking in quality. The portion sizes are fairly in line with other restaurants outside the area and we are always looking forward to visiting egen when there is other choices around. We recommend this place to anyone who is looking for authentic Thai and Vietnamese food if they don't want to venture to Quincy or Boston. You will definitely not be disappointed.

    Stopped here for a dinner with friends. Seated right away but it was busy later and people waiting on seats. Colorful shop inside and little photos decorating the wall. A little Vietnamese and Thai restaurant. They have parking in the side for a couple hours, small lot. The Thai iced tea is good and can be made less sweet (which is still very sweet). The beef pad see ew was just okay, too sweet and oily for me, and broccoli instead of Chinese broccoli wasn't the right fit. Service was a bit spotty, the two people were running around between the different tables and didn't have much time to do anything other than take orders and bring food out. Pho looked ok, will try another time.

    This place was good for the location. It's decent and has a wide variety of Asian food! The chicken wings were fried too long and came out dry. The pho was good! I do love it when it comes out hot!! The veggies we looked fresh! The service was a little slow but not bad. The place was cute and inviting. Parking was a little challenge during lunch but overall a good spot to check out!!

    What a great find. The place was clean and service was good. The pho was tasty and had plenty of meats. The side dish of Thai basil, like, and bean sprouts could have used a few chilies, but otherwise great. The hibiscus tea was also tasty.

    Everything was so good!

    Today was our third trip to 29 Bistro and it has been great every time. The Pho and chicken satay are our go tos, but we have also tried the ka pow, grilled beef plate and fried rice and har never been disappointed. We'll be back again and again!

    Missing Thai basil
    Karla W.

    We used to visit this restaurant a couple of times each month. The last few times have been disappointing . We'll go elsewhere from now on. Last evening our pick-up order took an extra 30 minutes. We received no extra vegetables as ordered and paid for and we received fewer noodles because the extra tofu was added to the bowl of noodles instead of being packed separately like it has been in the past. When we asked about this we were dismissed. The flavor of the soup was very bland. And one tiny leaf of Thai basil was included with the bean sprouts for the soup. In the distant past, several leaves would be in the bag. One leaf is nothing g more than a garnish and does nothing for flavor. oh well, it felt good to support a local business but their food and service is not reliable and their customer service is subpar.

    We've been here twice before and always had a good experience, so for my boyfriend's birthday he…read morerequested hibachi and I decided to bring him back. There was plenty of parking, and upon walking in the restaurant looked very clean. Since it was close to closing and I had called ahead, we were seated right away at a hibachi table with just the two of us. There was an extremely loud birthday party seated next to us, but that's not the restaurant's fault. While ordering, I wanted to get appetizers and sushi before our hibachi meal, but I felt a little rushed by our server. On a previous visit I remembered there being a Tuesday appetizer special (I thought it was half off), but when I asked, I was told they had never offered that promotion. Food: * Rock & Roll Roll - 8/10: Fresh and tasty, although the crab had a slightly stronger smell than I'd prefer. * Shrimp Tempura Roll - 9/10: Very good, but I asked for extra eel sauce and was given barely a tablespoon. * Steak & Shrimp Hibachi - 5/10: The flavor was excellent and everything was cooked exactly as requested, but the portions were surprisingly small for the price. * Chicken & Steak Hibachi - 5/10: Again, the flavor was great, but the portions were disappointing. We ordered extra chicken, which ended up being a good decision because the regular portion was very small. Each plate had less than a cup of rice, and although I requested extra mushrooms instead of zucchini and carrots, that substitution wasn't made. * Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - 10/10: Easily one of the best items we ordered. Perfectly crispy with great seasoning and just the right amount of spice. * Scallion Pancakes - 9/10: Crispy and flavorful, but they could have used more scallions and a larger portion of dipping sauce. Drinks: I ordered a lemon drop martini made with tequila, but it tasted like it was made with vodka. I asked if it could be replaced, but that request was declined. They brought me pineapple juice to try to make it more drinkable, but it didn't help, and the drink still remained on the bill. That was definitely a 0/10 experience. Our hibachi chef was fantastic. He was engaging, acknowledged my fiancé's birthday, and honestly made up for the lackluster service we received from our waiter. One thing diners should be aware of is that an 18% service charge is automatically added to the bill, but it isn't verbally mentioned. It's listed as a "service charge" on the receipt, so it's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. I asked about it to confirm, then tipped our hibachi chef separately because he deserved it. The receipt also includes wording encouraging additional gratuity, which could easily lead guests to tip twice if they don't notice the automatic charge. Overall, the food quality and flavors were still good, and the hibachi chef made the experience enjoyable. However, the rushed service, disappointing portion sizes, drink issue, and lack of transparency about the automatic service charge kept this visit from living up to our previous experiences.

    Came to this place with my family. The food was good, and the chef did a great job, so I gave him a…read morecash tip. However, when I received the bill, I was charged a $20 service fee, and then I was given three mandatory tip options on top of that. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I understand how service charges work, but I personally feel that a $20 service fee is excessive, especially when customers are still expected to tip afterward. The food prices should cover the cost of service, with the tip being for the server's service. I felt the additional $20 charge was unreasonable and should have been clearly explained before ordering. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will not be coming back. I would recommend checking the service fees carefully before dining here.

Interior felt very modern and sleek - it was a bit small as well so it was a little cramped between tables and walking areas. The menu had a good selection of szechuan fare and we ended up sharing some of their popular dishes. I enjoyed the large fish one which was a good size for a family. Everything tasted authentic, my only qualm was paying for rice - you can't not have rice and it seems ridiculous to pay $3 for one bowl. Overall, a solid restaurant and option for Chinese food in Harvard Square.

    Two weekend visits to this relatively new subterranean Sichuan eatery in Harvard Square (Eliot…read moreStreet) with a very inviting interior and some VERY spicy dishes. -- Vegetarian Cold Noodle: Firm, peanut buttery, satisfying. Not spicy. Not too saucy, so you can "feel" the noodle, but I would have liked more vegetables. -- Yibin Fiery Noodles: Warm and similarly al dente, these were manageably spicy. Meat crumble, seeds or nuts, scallions, and heat. -- Red and Green Pepper Chicken: Batterless but crisp, tender, and not boneless. Relentlessly spicy from several heat sources and kaleidoscopically delicious. The closest comparison is dry hot chicken that also goes by a few other names, but this was better. Elite, and the best thing I ate in all of 2025, but sadly no longer on the menu. -- Stone Pot Tofu: Billed as Ma Po Tofu sizzling in a stone pot, but no sizzle and no stone pot. Identified as very spicy but minimally spicy and more numbing (more "ma" than "la"). I enjoyed the overall flavor (heavily seasoned) and the saltiness of the fermented black beans. Despite some of the menu discrepancies, this was a really good version for my tastes. Near-elite. -- Green Beans With Eggplant: Strong flavor, not too hot spicewise, but volcanically hot temperaturewise. Decent. -- Chicken and Clams: Black bean flavor, whole peppercorns, spicy but loaded with flavor beyond the spice. A deceptively huge and quite delicious. Elite. -- Beef Spring Rolls: Not my choice. Crisp, beefy, and chili sauce on the side added contrast. Solid, but boring, more typical of an Americanized offering, and a waste of an opportunity given Too Hot's killer menu. -- Pork Belly with Fermented Beans: Superb rendition, not drastically different from twice cooked pork, but much more flavor and giant pieces. Near-elite to Elite. -- Shrimp in Dry Hot Pot: Tons of dry rub spiciness, giant shrimp, chopped vegetables, and crinkle cut potatoes. Near-elite. -- Brussels Sprouts w/Shallots: More subtle flavors here but hardly bland. Fried shallots had sort of an onion ringy presence in miniature. Cooked just right. Outstanding overall experience, with the best dish on the first visit and almost all winners on the second. Kudos to the friendly and helpful service, including a server suggestion to switch an item after noticing we ordered two very similar items. Eager to return often and try even more of the menu.

We walked into a space with an energetic atmosphere, an open kitchen, a lively dining room, and a contemporary design that makes the restaurant feel both casual and polished. The layout encourages ordering several dishes for the table, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to build a meal that feels different with each visit. The small plates are the biggest draw because they let you try a wide range of flavors without committing to a single entrée. The pork belly buns are one of the signature dishes, featuring tender pork inside soft steamed buns with a balance of sweet and savory flavors. The dan dan noodles are another standout with their rich, spicy sauce, while the Brussels sprouts have developed a strong following thanks to their crispy texture and bold seasoning. We also appreciated that many dishes are available as half portions, making it easier to sample more of the menu without ordering too much food. The menu offers a good balance between familiar favorites and more creative dishes, with each plate feeling thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, making it easy for groups with different dietary preferences to find something they enjoy. The service matched the pace of the restaurant during our visit. The staff were attentive, dishes came out steadily as they were ready, and the servers were helpful with recommendations for building a meal around multiple small plates. The restaurant stays busy throughout the evening, so making a reservation is a good idea, especially for dinner or larger groups. Myers+Chang is one of the better places in Boston for creative Asian-inspired small plates. The combination of bold flavors, shareable portions, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong service makes it a restaurant that is easy to return to, especially if you enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of ordering a traditional entrée.
