Came here because we were in the area and wanted ramen. The Yelp reviews sounded good so we went there. First off it was hard to find parking. It's all street parking and there's not much around, esp with the snow banks. It's a residential area so you could park in front of houses too but we couldn't find any spaces either. We had to wait in front across the restaurant for a few minutes before someone finally left. Luckily when we got inside the restaurant we got a table right away. They only have 6-7 tables so it's a small place. Very limited menu of food and drinks but very reasonably priced. The waitress was very nice and attentive. We ordered the soup dumplings, Japanese pork ramen, and the spicy ramen. The ramen was really good and great portion size. The soup dumplings were good but were bite size, not what I'm used to. Overall it was a good meal. Not sure if I would return given the parking issue and I don't want to chance having to wait long for a table. But the food was good and the service excellent. read more

This place was such a little hidden gem! We went there for hotpot a few times now and it has always been such a pleasant experience. They offer both a la carte as well as hotpot buffet and the prices are reasonable as well as the portions being sizable. Very casual environment and everyone is always friendly. They also offer other items on the menu aside form hotpot so the selections are diverse so we will definitely be coming back again! read more

My go to place in Quincy if I am craving for a bowl of noodle soup. My favorite is their Tom Yum and Mala noodle soup. Sometimes I would so the all you can eat hot pot. To me the price is very reasonable. The owner lady is very nice person too!! read more

Local joint for people on a budget and lack of other alternatives in the city. Most of their dishes are frozen and heated up. The broth for both the noodles and hot pot is extremely lacking in flavor and heavy on the msg. Come here if you are looking for a super cheap place to get you ramen/udon/hot pot cravings out of the way without huge expectations. I think I would come back if I was feeling super lazy to cook and I lived in the area. Nothing really stands out here except maybe the price and the service. The owner of this place is so friendly and patient it really makes the place feel homey! read more

Great local joint if you want to get your hot soup dish on if that makes sense! There is free 2 hour parking along the street, don't risk your car getting ticketed or towed parking in the lot (that's for some specific restaurant), park on the street! Food here is great, I come here for their hot pot and smoothies. My friends love them for their noodle dishes. I don't eat a lot of hot pot so I order by the item and in total I eat 20 bucks with my boyfriend. If you're into eating a lot you can option for their buffet at I believe 21 bucks per person? Broth is 2.50. Smoothies are so good here, I love their watermelon smoothie. They use real fruit and its not just syrup. Come and check this place out, its great and the staff are very nice. read more

I never know what I'm getting into with the multitude of small Asian restaurants in Quincy, and I've learned you can never judge a book or restaurant by its cover. Went here after looking for a buffet option hot pot place (that doesn't suck) and was beyond happy with it. Great broth, great quality meat and vegetables- and great milk tea. Definitely recommend read more

Fairy Cafe - Japanese char siu ramen - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

probably one of my favorite places for hotpot and i am giving it 5 stars just based on value but it is far from perfect. it is a nice hole in the wall place and worker always seem to remember me. i enjoy the tom yum broth and meat taste pretty fresh. royal hotpot used to be my go to but they no longer offer buffet and it is way too expensive. fairy cafe is right off wollaston train station and there are a few side streets for parking. you cannot park directly in front but it is a short walk from the side street. prices are reasonable here. all you can eat buffet run about $30 a person and $5 or so for the broth. if you just want noodle soup it is about $10-15. it is quite flavorful. i would avoid chicken wings and chicken katsu here. they taste like some tyson pkg from costco or something. the katsu in particular taste like chicken tenders. overall just stick with the soup and hotpot then you will be fine. read more

Great place, cozy and clean. This place has a lot of variety of food to choose from. They used to have fresh ground fish meat ramen, not anymore. read more

This is my favorite local spot for quick soup dumplings and a warm hearty bowl of noodle soup! They also serve hot pot. It's really affordable and near the Wollaston T Station. Plus the staff are super sweet and friendly! Go alone or bring a small group of friends. read more

The smoothies are to die for and ramen TOP tier you HAVE to come here. Food service is amazing super nice and happy that your back. The setting is super relaxing. read more

I've been to quite a few hot pot places I was very excited for the fish balls but unfortunately it wasn't the fish balls but I normally get did not like the taste I felt like they could've had more vegetables or seafood options. price for the amount of options I did not like but other than that the weight so I was very friendly broth was delicious the meats are delicious I'm just being nitpicky about the fish balls and options read more

Yikes... My two stars is honestly just for their soup dumplings. I went with three other friends. All my friends got rice plates and I was the only one that got noodles (Korean Beef with Ramen). I honestly would go back for their soup dumplings since its hard for me to find a soup dumpling place I like, but my overall experience was terrible. We waited 20 minutes for our food. Only two rice plates came out and then waited another 20 minutes for the bowl of noodles to come out and news that they had no more rice for the last plate of rice. Like why didn't you tell us 20 minutes earlier or while you were preparing for two of the rice plates? That doesn't really make sense to me. We ended cancelling up the last rice plate and going somewhere else later to get food for our last friend since we really didn't want to wait another 20 minutes for them to prepare food. Anyway, the ramen wasn't great and I didn't really have an appetite anymore to even try my friends' rice plates, but they told me it wasn't as good as when they had it before. Really disappointed. read more

Fairy Cafe is a small, cozy restaurant in Wollaston, popular for its noodle soups and hot pot. It was more comfortable than I expected, considering it's hole-in-the-wall appearance from the outside. I got the shrimp tempura noodle soup with udon (~$8) and pina colada smoothie (~$3.25 I think). The shrimp tempura came on the side and was nicely done. The soup had a tomato base which I wasn't expecting, but it was pretty good. The pina colada was also good. Portions are also worth the affordable price. Will be back if I'm in Wollaston area. read more

I haven't written a review in a while, but I just love Fairy Cafe! My boyfriend and I come here so much now that the wait staff know us and know what we like/order. Fairy is an amazing value. The hot pot is much more reasonably-priced than anything else in the area, the milk tea and smoothies are fantastic, and the soup noodles are solid. Literally the best milk tea in the area and I've tried most of them by now. The service is quick and nice. They just recently expanded their space, which makes it even easier to get a seat! read more

I am a huge Asian food fanatic and everything they do here is great. From the hot pot, to the ramens, to the fried rices, it's all great. The staff is super friendly, they always remember me (perhaps I to go to often?). read more

This place has decent food for a decent price. Additionally, the food comes out fairly quickly. I typically get the kimchi beef ramen, soup dumplings, fried dumplings, and a fruit smoothie. I've definitely had better ramen, but this place is closest to my home so it's the most convenient location to satisfy my ramen cravings. The soup dumplings and fried dumpling don't taste as if they made it themselves. I've had dumplings that tasted more fresh with more meat inside. I love to try different ramen and dumplings places..thus I feel as if their food overall is average. I decided to change it up last weekend so I tried their beef and enoki rice plate and the chicken cutlet with teriyaki sauce over rice. The beef enoki rice plate was pretty good and had enough meat and enoki in proportion to the rice. However, the chicken cutlet only consisted of a few pieces on top of the rice so we had a lot of rice leftover. I would not get this again. On the bright side, the fruit smoothies are always fresh and delicious! Soup and fried dumplings = 7/10 Kimchi beef ramen = 7.5/10 Smoothies = 8-9/10 Beef and enoki with rice =8/10 Fried chicken cutlet over rice = 6/10 read more

We've been here several times and the food had never disappointed. We usually get the beef and enoki (mushroom) over rice and the ma po tofu rice dish. Both were quite flavorful. Recently I ordered the chicken fried rice and although the chicken itself was a little bland, the overall dish was fine (light and doused in sauce). The customer services were great and would also greet you with a smile once you come through the door. The last thing I love is their thai ice tea. I honestly can't think of any other restaurants that would make it this tasty. Wouldn't go anywhere else for this. Rice dish and drink wise, it was really good and we still go there for takeout. I think next time I would try their hotpot since almost everything I come here at least one table would be doing it. read more

Friendly with great food!! Professional team...food are well made, fresh and reasonable price... Definitely try daily specials!! You won't be disappointed with velvety congee with all the additions...strong Vietnamese coffee... amazingly fast!! read more

It's quite small once you get there and all but foods great. I had the rib-eye hotpot and they pre-cook the udon too so grabbing it won't be a pain. Definitely recommend ! read more

Love it!! Our first time getting ramen. We also got the sesame balls, bbq taro, and sticky rice. Soups: house special, spicy Tom yum, seafood. read more

I usually grab their salt and pepper pork cutlet with rice while my girlfriend grabs the rib eye with enoki over rice. Both are great options! To those who had salt and pepper pork in other restaurants, the ones here are a bit different due to color and texture, but the taste is still amazing! read more

We have been searching for a noodle place for years now that our favorite all-time spot closed down a few years back (we used to love Noodle Bowl in Down Town New Bedford, Ma). Fairy Cafe was recommended to us through a good friend and they didn't fail to impress. My husband got the salt and pepper chicken wings, which he stated: " these are amazing". He also got the Korean bowl, which he enjoyed but is looking forward to returning to try another bowl. I got the vegetarian bowl with miso. It was nice. A little salty for me, but it's miso, and depending on the quality/brand will depend on how the salt affects me. Overall, a nice meal and the price for the soups is really reasonable especially for the portion size! read more

Fairy Cafe - Chicken (dark meat) Ramen - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

So I'm craving soup, but not in a mood to eat out. I look up a couple local restaurants that have ramen noodles and this pops up on Yelp. I read a few reviews but what really drew me in were the photos of the food, particularly the Korean spicy beef and noodles soup. It looked delicious and appears to be exactly what I have in mind to eat, so I call and order it. When I get it, the soup is piping hot despite the fact that I was running late and picked it up later than I wanted to. The flavors in the soup were fresh and really awakened my sinuses. I think this soup could really do the trick for someone who is sick. It definitely was a bit spicy, so have some water on deck. It was chock full of vegetables, although a little skim on the beef, but it could definitely serve at least two people. I would recommend and order this meal again! read more

Absolutely delicious - we ordered the kimchi pork fried rice, soup dumplings, udon noodles and sesame balls, and of course the HK milk tea as well, and left with full bellies and smiles! read more

Cute little joint with limited parking but I've always found one. I love the hotpot and appetizers here (esp on cold days). They offer buffet style as well as by order, plenty of options. The tomyum and kimchee broth hits the spot everytime. I also can't get enough of the fried oysters. read more

Foods are great and the owner is so nice and friendly. Their HK milk tea is a must try.

What a find! A go-to place for delicious smoothies and appetizers. I think in two short days we've covered some pretty good ground. I wasn't a big fan of the duck tongue. We wanted to try something different. Everything else, you can't go wrong. Next thing we need to try is the hot pot! :) Restroom was clean as well. Gotta out that in there. read more

Man, I wish I had discovered this place sooner! I've been here twice in two weeks for their hot pot. I definitely prefer this hot pot restaurant to Shabu in Quincy. Even though this place is small, it feels a lot less cramped than Shabu, which is great. It's also wayyyyyy cleaner and better (in general) than Hot Pot Buffet in Chinatown. (Don't believe me? Go check out some of their horror story reviews!) Their hot pot selection is pretty robust, and their AYE (all-you-can-eat) option is definitely a good value. I found their cuts of meat, seafood, and veggies to all be of good quality and freshness. Some of my favorites are: rib eye, lamb, Fuzhou fish balls, shrimp, enoki mushrooms, and Napa cabbage, with the rib soup. Mmmmmm... craving more hotpot on this cold day... Finally, the ladies who work here are super friendly, accommodating, and very hard workers! I can't wait to explore more of the menu! Until next time... read more

Excellent food and very friendly service! The waitstaff was very helpful made the experience even better. The pork ramen soup was delicious as were all of the dumplings. Will definitely go back! read more

love their food. their owner and service is top tier. i would recommend this restaurant to those who love asian cuisines. the atmosphere in this restaurant is very warm/welcoming. read more

I continue to come here and still love it!! I live pretty close, so this is my go to ramen spot. I occasionally get an avacado smoothie with boba, but they run out of boba pretty quick. A yummy substitute is lychee. read more

Don't let the outside appearance fools you. Inside is cute and very pleasant. Spicy broth is wonderful. Many appetizers to choose from. Coffee and tea mixed is great. Lemon tea is awesome as well. All and all, worth a trip. We are pleased every time we come in. Great job! read more

This is a great spot in Quincy, especially for those who don't want to break their bank accounts but are craving some decent Asian food. I usually get a ramen dish when I'm here, but they also have AYCE hot pot. I haven't tried the hot pot before, but based on the ramen and their appetizers, I would recommend this place to others. My favorite appetizer on their menu is definitely the fried oysters. They are obnoxiously juicy once you bite into them. However, there are some dishes that might not be as good, such as the fried noodles I ordered one time. Nevertheless, if you love cheap eats and also happen to be in the Quincy area, this is the place to go. read more

She did it again. Eating in, She charged our milk teas for $3 each plus tax even though the menu says 2.50. she keeps going back and forth on prices. My white fiance goes in and orders two iced milk teas, she charges him $6. An Asian lady comes in while we're eating and charges her $2.50 for the drink. They are trying to be sneaky to make more money. My Chinese cousin goes in and her drink is 2.50 every time you do the math. When u substitute any noodle other than ramen, you don't get an egg in your soup, specifically Japanese pork ramen. read more

I went here with a group of 4 and we got the all you can eat hotpot. The selections of meat and veggies was good. The soup base for the hotpot was bland. However, the sauce and quality of the ingredients make up for it. Definitely one of the better hotpot places in Quincy especially with it's price. Would definitely return. read more

I came here for hot pot a couple of times and haven't been disappointed! You have the option of ordering by individual items or by the set buffet price. I usually go for the buffet price, since I think it is worth it if you plan on eating a lot. They have a fair selection, but if I could change one thing, I would want them to add a type of noodle on their menu for the hot pot. Probably something like ramen, udon, or vermicelli, like most other hot pot restaurants offer. Other than that, from what they offer, the food comes out fast and fresh. Service is great and the workers actually remember you if you come by enough! read more

The service here is wonderful. Workers definitely make you feel welcome and aim to please you the best they can. The food is all around delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with their ramen, hotpot or anything else on their menu. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and anyone else. Try it out! There is no dedicated parking lot for the place. Parking on the street is usually available though. The place is also a short walk from the T. read more
