Korean Momma has ruined Basque cheesecakes for me but in the best way possible. Every time I try a…read moreBasque cheesecake from elsewhere, I hope it will be as rich, creamy, and silky as the ones from Korean Momma, but am always left with disappointment! Korean Momma has set the bar very high. The cheesecakes are great for parties and entertaining, but sometimes I keep an eye out for a fun flavor and just get it to try. Nothing beats the OG burnt flavor though, which has just the perfect touch of saltiness to complement the tangy cheese flavor and balance out the sweetness of the cake. I also love the graham cracker crust which gets so caramelized, crispy, and almost a little smoky. For gluten free friends out there, you can also get the cheesecakes without the crust. I'm so happy that they've now partnered with Darling which serves their gluten free cheesecake on their menu, but it's always worth signing up for one of the weekend drops to chat with Duly and his whole team.

When we picked up the cheesecake, we also received a sample of the mango lassi cheesecake. The mango lassi cheesecake set the bar high. It was delicious, not too sweet but rich and creamy. The mango lassi flavor was also spot on - 5 stars. Unfortunately the basque cheesecake we had was not as good. There were parts of the cheesecake that was quite salty, not sure if this was intentional? We did enjoy the parts of the cheesecake that was not salty tho! Perhaps we got a bad batch. I would try other flavors in the future since the sample one we had was soo good, but I would skip the OG basque cheesecake.

Inchu at CanalSide serves up a straightforward menu of Asian bowls including Korean Bibimbap, Thai Pad Krapow, Vietnamese Banh Mi Bowl, and Japanese Donburi with choice of base (jasmine rice or organic greens) and choice of protein (tofu, bbq chicken, ginger beer, poached salmon), each bowl priced at $15.75 plus tax (in 2024). There is plenty of seating at this spacious food hall. I stopped by Inchu recently and ordered the Korean Bibimbap with jasmine rice & poached salmon. My bowl was prepared to order and all set in 3 minutes. I enjoyed this tasty bowl which was layered with soft jasmine rice, sesame seeds, bean sprouts, green onions, spinach, cucumbers, carrot slaw, pickled daikon, kimchi, soft poached salmon filet and a fried egg (runny). This quickly made bowl had a good mix of tasty ingredients, but not your traditional bibimbap which is served in a hot stone pot (bowl) with the egg and rice sizzling crisp on the sides and bottom of the bowl. I will have to return here so I can try out their other bowls!

It looked as though they were brand new as the sign was temporary and there was no indication of the business name anywhere. The pictures looked good and there was no wait, so I ordered the Bahn Mi bowl with ginger beef and rice. It was prepared quickly, and the presentation was lovely. I very much enjoyed this for lunch! It was sauced and seasoned well. There was so much food I was able to share, too.

When I got there, am looked around this small place that happened to have another level, & let her know that there would be 2 people. She looked confused & then asked me if I was in the right place, um yes of course, that's why I'm here, is what I told her. Ok, so we're off to a fabulous start already. Oy vey. So I then go upstairs to grab a table while waiting for my friend. I then realized I had to go get menus downstairs since she didn't give them to me. Nobody is there which is unusual, thought it would've been busy. I realize they don't have table service so I get water & utensils for the table. When my friend arrives we go downstairs to order. Well not even 5 minutes later is our food ready. Holy hell that was fast. Later it got me thinking, the food wasn't actually cooked, it was most likely done in the microwave since there really wasn't much to this breakfast sandwich. Also, the rugelach was dry & barely had any filling. Not worth it. Such a shame.

A great option to explore in Time Out market for some Asian fusion bowls…read more They offer bowls that are well-portioned (especially compared to the other vendors), are efficient in preparing orders, and have many different ways to customize the bowl to meet dietary preferences. There are also both raw and cooked options for the protein. Overall, the bowls are super flavorful, fresh, and filling. My go-to is usually the Japanese Donburi. Sometimes they are out of ingredients (commonly the salmon in my experience), but the variety they have on the menu is helpful to hopefully find a swap that fits your taste. Like the other options in Time Out, you can sit either inside or outside and after ordering, they will give you a buzzer. Just head over to the counter to pick-up when the buzzer goes off, but otherwise you can eat anywhere in Time Out. It can definitely get loud and crowded depending on the time of day or if there is an event around (like Red Sox games). I have still had pretty efficient service even when it is crowded. Only drawback is the cost, but like I said, it is somewhat more worth the money here since the portion size is larger than most of the other options.

We walked into a clean, modern space with a straightforward ordering setup that makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal. The interior is functional and uncluttered, designed around efficiency rather than lingering, and the presentation of the bowls is appealing, with each dish arriving neatly composed. We tried one of the bowls and found the ingredients themselves to be fresh and well prepared, but the seasoning leaned a bit on the salty side, which made some of the components feel less balanced than expected. The portion was decent, though for the price, it felt slightly overpriced compared to what you get. The flavors were enjoyable but did not stand out as much as we had hoped, and the overall dish felt more like a solid, dependable option rather than something memorable. The proteins were cooked well, and the vegetables added a nice crunch, but the sauce distribution could have been more even to avoid pockets of intense saltiness. Service was quick and the setup works well for a grab-and-go meal, with the staff moving efficiently through the line and the order coming together without much delay. It is a convenient option if you are already in the area and looking for something fast, but the value and seasoning could use some improvement. The space stays comfortable even during busy periods, and the overall experience is smooth and straightforward, though it leans more toward practicality than culinary excitement.
