Fairy cafe is my go to local place in quincy to get ramen if I don't want to travel into boston. Fairly cheap, pairs well with a smoothie or fried dumplings :) They also have hot pot which is fairy cheap too read more

Great food! I got the Tom Yum Udon soup and it was absolutely delicious and super flavorful!

I'm conflicted about this place. I had a craving for ramen as I went home from the braintree mall and this popped up on my yelp. So I decided to drop by there and saw that they only had 1 particular soup for ramen! So right off the bat they're a restaurant that doesn't specialize in ramen, I had my suspicions. They called it "Japanese style pork soup", and I couldn't quite pinpoint the exact taste of it. Maybe it was a miso broth base. Certainly looked like it. Definitely not a shoryu based soup. Any way, I got that with extra ramen noodles. The pork? Pretty tasty. It had good flavor and they gave a nice amount. The ramen was served bean sprouts, seaweed, half a boiled egg and corn. All of these were alright. The soup was flavorful. I really wish they offered any different kind of ramen soup base but it did the job. In my opinion, the most important part about a bowl of ramen would be the noodles annnnnnnd they were actually pretty decent. Had a good consistency to them and were tasty. This place was a nice surprise. Now, everything in the dish was just OK to me. Nothing was fantastic, and they didn't even have any other variety with any other ramen. The rest of the soups were designated for other types of noodle dishes. So why the 4/5? My big big bowl of ramen with extra noodles came out to only 9 dollars! I believe that it's a great value for 9 dollars. It filled me up for the majority of the day. I could see other parties in the building getting hot pot and they did offer some other appetizing dishes. In terms of ramen, it's a very good value. Will I return? Probably not. For ramen, you can do better... but you most certainly do a lot worse. read more

This is a superb place for lunch -- as good as it gets for this type of meal. I've eaten here a dozen times or more. Whether it's noodle soup, noodles, dumplings, rice, or anything else on the menu, I always expect and get an inexpensive, tasty, well prepared, ample meal. Guests are always impressed by the reasonable prices, large quantity of food, and freshness of the ingredients. What's not to like. My highest recommendation. read more

Friends and I tried almost every single noodle soup they offer and everything is amazing, I promise you! We also tried several appetizers and was never disappointed. Quality food for an amazing price! People of all ages come here so you know it's good. The owner is super sweet and I always love seeing her read more

This place is the best for group or for a one on one catch up. You can get the hot pot buffet or you can get the regular ramen/udon noodles. They're both pretty good but for large group I usually go with the hotpot since it's all you can eat, you'll have a better time bonding over the hotpot in my opinion. I usually get the Japanese/Korean ramen. The Korean one is a bit spicy but my friend tried mine and he almost died so if you can't take spicy, stick with the Japanese one instead. The appetizers are good too, if you want to be healthy, try the fries sweet potatoes. If you like seafood, try the calamari, but it's the same as any other place that serves it. They have drinks as well, pineapple smoothies, avocado, red bean, very generic. They also have ice cream too. I tried the ginger and the green tea ice cream. They're just 2 scoops per ice cream but we asked if we can get one scoop of ginger ice cream and one scoop of greet tea and it was okay with the waitress. The broth for hotpot is pretty good it's not too strong and there's varieties just like other places. The order usually comes out pretty fast to when we put them in so there's always food at the table for the hotpot. It's run by this lady and she does an amazing job. The staff is friendly and always smiles. It's a relatively clean place and not only that the chairs are super comfy. You can even fall asleep on them from the food coma after ingesting all the food. read more

Hot pot: The Tom Yum and Kim Chi broths are seasoned really well and did not taste watered down at all. The a la carte prices are very reasonable: between $2-4 for vegetables and $6-9 for meat/seafood. However, we opted for the buffet ($23.95/pp) because we didn't know how big the portions would be and whether a la carte would end up costing the same as getting the buffet. As it turns out, the portions are very generous! I love watercress with my hot pot and they gave us such a healthy portion that we didn't have to order more. The meats seem fresh, not frozen, and the quality of the items is pretty good! I liked the beef tongue and dumplings a lot. We also ordered the Japanese sausages and they tasted like unseasoned hot dogs so I would recommend avoiding those. They don't have the (soy) sauce that typically comes with hot pot but only have BBQ paste, garlic, onions, and chili oil. Tip: The restaurant is pretty small and shares street parking with other establishments so I can see it being really busy. I recommend coming at non-peak hours or earlier in the week. read more

Fairy Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat! I make the effort to come to this restaurant at least once or twice a month. Living in the South Shore, this one of the closest ramen places that I rather go to than drive all the way into Boston. The seating and atmosphere is always great, cute little wall decals and hanging lights. The food is really good! I love their ramen, especially the Japanese style one. The portion and flavoring is just right. The appetizers are all good! My favorite is the fried coconut shrimp! Their drinks are good as well! I always order the Hong Kong style milk tea which hits the spot. Their red bean smoothie isn't bad either. Service is always very wonderful! There is never a long wait for the food to come and they remember to bring the drinks right away unlike a lot of pho restaurants. The owner is particularly nice and even remembered my order from before! Little things like that always gets two thumbs up :) read more

This small eatery seems to specialize in soups. They have 4 booths with hot pot stations, as well as a few ramen and other noodle soup options to order from the kitchen. They also attempt to be more Pan-Asian with Thai tom yum, Korean beef, and Japanese pork ramen soup options. I preferred the Japanese ramen soup, the noodles were nice and chewy, and the pork was tender. The Korean soup, on the other hand, was not your traditional Korean soup, but did have alot of kimchi, however the beef was a bit tough. We also tried their xiao long bao, they were so-so, but not much soup actually inside them. Overall, this is a decent place for a quick simple lunch. read more

This is a new.and good store,small but comfortable. all price are affortable. Sea food ramen is my favorite. I would suggest the appetizer， chicken wings, steam dumping, fried rangoon and Janpanese Fries Dumpling. thoese all my favorite food. in additional, They do have hot pot and hot pot buffet. I usually will order a cup of smoothie to keep me cool. ~`O`~ read more

Fairy Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I've been here about a handful of times and if you're looking for a decent ramen place in Quincy, this is a pretty good spot. There's only one hostess and she's my homegirl. Since I've been here a few times with the same crew, we're pretty much regulars now and she always welcomes us with a smile which I love. We've had the coconut shrimp, various ramen soups, hot pot buffet and the drinks as well. Don't be afraid to try anything on the menu since it's all pretty good and portions-wise it's satisfying. The restaurant is meant to be another hole-in-the-wall type of ramen store so don't expect something so fancy. There are a few booths but recently they've opened up one of the booths to allow a larger seating space for a bigger party (4-6people). I love their Hong Kong hot milk tea and Japanese-style ramen (which isn't as salty as most ramen since I think they cut down the msg but that's a good thing right?). The hot pot buffet portions are great! Obviously nothing like the infamous Shabu in Quincy but hey, Fairy Cafe is just another quiet spot in town. read more

Hot potting on a budget! A friend asked me to come with him to try Fairy Cafe because he knows I love hot potting no matter what weather it is in Boston. I have been coming back every week since then :D! You can choose your own tables here but it's nice to let the front know how many people you have and they will tell you to sit anywhere you like. If you are looking to eat hot pot, you have to ask for the hot pot menu because they usually only provide me with the drinks and ramen menu. With the menus, you just check off what you would like to eat for hot pot. They always check up on you when you have empty plates and offer a new check list for hot pot items when everything is almost done. Service has been great for such a small restaurant. It definitely beats a lot of other hot pot restaurants I have been to. For my first visit with a total party of two people, it was $60 including 20% tip for all you can eat hot pot. We had two flavor broths, selected our all you can eat food options and sodas. If you're looking for affordable hot pot and want something better than Van Shabu or Hot Pot Buffet beef choices (no beef tongue here though), I would recommend you giving this place a chance. Meat quality is better than both places but it's definitely not Choice or Prime grade beef. read more

I'm going to make this ramen review short and sweet because the below is really all it needs. If Fairy Cafe relocated to Boston, it would put all other ramen restaurants out of business. Period. read more

I frequent Fairy cafe with my boyfriend. We always enjoy the hotpot buffet. I'm a meat quality connoisseur and I must say that the restaurant has some of the best meat around. Great value. The pricing is fair. What makes Fairy cafe stand out above the rest is their customer service. Joie serves us all the time. And she makes my boyfriend feel like he is the King (hello Joie from Jamaal!). She is funny, charming and deserves good tips. We enjoy the restaurant so much that we continue to invite more friends and family to join us each time. Overall, the restaurant gives a friendly and inviting vibe, that keeps you coming back for more. They surely deserve 5+ stars. We will be there Friday night. read more

This is my comfort food spot. It's close and good! The hot pot here is on the pricey side, and OK variety. But I think I would rather go to some place else with more variety for that price. The quality of meat is decent. The seafood soup noodle is my favorite. However, I never liked their shrimp... the shrimp in the noodle is very rubbery. Otherwise, everything else is good! Their blended drinks are a bit bland sometimes... but milk tea is my favorite. read more

I hate to leave a one star rating, but my mother said I should give it zero stars. We ordered two ramen soup bowls, one seafood and one pork. The seafood was rubbery and tasteless. The pork was from a very cheap cut of pork even though a generous portion. The broth: mostly salt with zero hint of being simmered from meat bones. Yuk! It tasted like boiled water with salt added. I have eaten ramen over the years in Japanese neighborhoods in Los Angeles, so perhaps I am jaded. Even for non-authentic ramen, it was still not tasty. Street parking only; the cafe is located within walking distance, like two blocks, from the Wollaston MBTA red line subway stop. I cannot see why this joint got such rave review from others and will most decidedly not be back ever. read more

We had the Japanese noodle soup and the Korean noodle soup, both with ramen. Both were excellent. The Korean noodle soup was spicy with lots of kim chee in it, and beef, all very flavorful We also had the mango smoothie, really good read more

Comfortable place! Limited menu but good enough for a small cafe. Ordered crab rangoons, scallion pancake, takoyaki (could use better sauce but still yummy), fish ball ramen noodle (good light broth). Strawberry banana smoothie boba and HK milk tea was on point! Overall good food and friendly fast service! This cafe is not a great place to mingle with friends for a long chat during peak hours though... read more

Love this place! Found it on Yelp, its sort of off a side street in Quincy near 93. We got 3 bowls of ramen, two orders of dumplings, chicken wings and tea for the table for about $45! Not only was the price right, but the flavors were on point and exactly what we were looking for in our search for ramen in the burbs. Is it the best ramen in the world? No. But it certainly satiated our needs. read more

Came here as a suggestion from a friend. Tried the ramen and wasn't impressed. I hear their hot pot is great, but haven't returned yet to try it. Street parking can be tough, as it's a busy residential area. read more

Fairy Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Probably my favorite restaurant in Quincy right now, and I've been here every week for the last 5 months straight. I love the hot pot - it's the cheapest option around, though the selection is a little limited, especially on the vegetable side. But I spend roughly half eating here than I would eating at places like Shabu Shabu for the same amount of food, and I get drinks, too. I especially like the appetizers, especially the fried squid, chicken wings, and Shanghai soup dumplings. I typically get noodles here, and they are pretty good when you consider the selection is very pan asian. I get the house noodle soup, which contains pork stomach, so that should be a warning to anyone who doesn't like that stuff. The Korean beef noodle is a pretty solid all-around choice, though. I also like the Japanese-style soup, and you can get everything with udon or ramen. The woman who owns/runs the restaurant is very nice and one of the hardest working restauranteurs I've ever met. She makes a great Hong Kong milk tea, and a great yuen yuan (coffee with milk tea), as well as good smoothies. Overall, a great place, decently affordable, with a lot of great drinks. read more

Oh yum yum yum! So many great noodle dishes, I always can't seem to choose! I've had this multiple times the first week I discovered this place because I kept getting a craving for it. Try the ramen you won't regret read more

I always leave this place feeling more happy and recharged. I feel as though ive regained the yin to all of my yang. This is the only place you can get ramen in ALL of quincy, and a little further beyond that as well... they have amazing comfort food, everything on their menu makes you feel fuzzy and warm. Pros: -great simple menu with a clear focus and theme. lets you know what they are all about. -everything is warm!! food, owners, chairs, electric tables, asian drama television, milk tea, and fooddd -people drive here from other towns to eat, enough said. Cons: its not the place you would go for take out, and there is limited seating. If they could do some ricebowls that would make my life so magical. hmmmm fairy ricebowls, oh god.... read more

I had their Udon seafood soup. Loved it! Lots of flavor, and lots of seafood too. Highly recommended. The place itself is not fancy. The waitress was very helpful and nice. read more

This hidden gem has quickly become a local favorite through word-of-mouth, and is well-known for serving tasty food at affordable prices with prompt and friendly service. True to name, Fairy Cafe features light, whimsical decor, and tv screens are always playing chinese music videos or talent shows in the background. Like Fuji, Fairy Cafe draws a varied crowd, and everyone is welcome. You can spot people of all ages and ethnicities ordering take out, spending time with friends, or grabbing a bite on their lunch breaks. Even schoolgirls stop by after classes for tasty bubble tea or smoothies that are less expensive than at Yocha or Vivi. If you're on a budget, you can get a filling meal for under $10. The menu focuses on chinese cuisine, but offers a decent selection of pan-asian dishes to suit any appetite. Comfort foods like fried appetizers, savory soups, and rice dishes come in large portions, so you can easily stretch one meal into two if you take leftovers home. The next time you're in the Wollaston area, be sure to check out Fairy Cafe. And if you ask for the spicy sauce, remember: a little goes a long way! PS - If traveling by car, opt for street parking. The lot across the street is for Crown Royal Bakery and Atlantic Redemption customers only, and anyone parked there after 7pm gets towed. read more

Very popular place, many selections cheap and fast. I go there for their salt and pepper duck tongue, cannot get this dish from any other places. read more

This is my go to spot for Cantonese style comfort food. I have to say their Hong Kong style milk tea is the best in the area!!! The BEST! Their rice noodle, curry rice plate and black pepper rice plate always remind me of home. The owners are also very nice. We always go back. read more

Great service and great food. The ramen here is really good. Probably the best around Quincy. I only go here for the ramen and for the soup dumplings! They have a small menu which I feel like they should add more too cause that way there's more to a small place. Other than that this place is for sure worth a try! read more

Took my son here for the first time two months ago and once a week he asked me to go back for soup dumplings. We love this spot and the staff is great read more

My first time here was a very new experience. From the outside, it looks like a place I would never set foot into. If my cousin never invited me along to go eat with her, I still wouldn't have known about this place. My cousin goes there so much, that she's a regular and they know her very well. The place is pretty small, and it is divided by two rooms. One for hot pot and the other for ramen/soup. Now on to the food! The food is amazing! I got the Shrimp Tempura ramen, and it came with the tempura on the side. The tempura wasn't fried in a traditional japanese manner with panko breading, it was battered. Still good, though. My sister got the Seafood broth, and that too was delicious. My cousin got the kimchee beef flavoured broth. I personally don't like kimchee, but that is what she gets every time she comes, so it must be good! The crab rangoon was crispy on the outside and very creamy on the inside (comes with duck sauce). We also had the fried squid (comes with spicy mayo). It wasn't your regular ol' fried calamari style, it was full-on fried tentacles with these delicious spices sprinkled on top. I would come again JUST for the squid! I've head great things about their hot pot, so next time, I will be trying it out! read more

I really love fairy cafe. I've definitely been going here more than I should have because it's just that good. I have tried all their soups and I gotta say all of them are delicious. My favorite would have to be the Korean beef one with the House Special soup coming in second. Everything about this place is great and what's more, their prices are just right for what you're going to get. Only thing I don't particularly like is their hot pot It was pretty good don't get me wrong, but I generally like to have more food choices to pick from, especially assorted dumplings. All in all, good place. Good food. The lady who owns this place is super nice. I've got nothing but positive things to say about this place. read more

This place is amazing!!! Food is really good and staff are always nice and polite.... Korean beef soup and house special fried rice are the best. read more

I've been coming here for over a year pretty frequently and it never disappoints, whether you want hot pot or a take out order of fried rice or soup (kimchi pork fried rice is one of my favorites). Reasonable prices is an added bonus read more

This place is one of the few places that I can visit over and over again. I've tried almost everything on their menu (their menu is not that big!) and I'm never disappointed. My favorite is their seafood udon soup and the pork ramen soup. They're not a specialized ramen place like Pikichi or Sapporo but for the price, it's definitely worth it! They give you a good portion with the option of add-ons for extra $. In terms of appetizers, the calamari and coconut shrimp was nice. I didn't like the fried oysters as much. What surprised me is how good their smoothies are! My go-to is the watermelon lychee or their mango. It's always blended perfectly with the right amount of sugar. I always end up getting a smoothie and hot soup which is a weird combo but they're just that good that I can't help but order both. I don't prefer going there for their hot pot buffet since the options are very limited. If I wanted hotpot buffet I would go to Royal or Chinatown which has more options for around the same price (usually a bit more expensive though). The place is cozy and although it's busy, I never had to wait. It can get loud at times since it's a small place. There's lots of street parking which is a plus. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating. read more

I live and work very close to this place, so I often do a take out. They used to only has ramen and the taste is pretty decent. Now they are busy and expending to have hotpot and hotpot buffet, it's great. I have ate way too many ramen from all over and the same with hotpot. I think this place is just ok. The ramen is fusion, not a Japanese taste. You do get a good portion for the price. I like coming her just because it very convenience. read more

Small cozy place. Menu is limited. 4 stars because of neatness, cleanliness, and who can forget, SOUP DUMPLINGS! They're pretty good here. Customer service can improve but oh well. Small cafe. Can't expect much. read more

Japanese pork ramen was filling and decently priced. Calamari was spiced right. I would recommend going here for ramen due to price and quantity. The waitresses could be more friendly and not to rush to order food. read more

Wanted some ramen, but didn't want to be stuck in rush hour traffic going into Boston at 5pm. Decided to look up a place with ramen and found this awesome place in Quincy. Was a little hesitant since they only had 1 flavor/type of the actual Japanese style ramen, but it was great! The noodle was great and the pork was even better. Had quite a few big pieces of pork which were very flavorful and seasoned just right! Also had a lychee smoothie that was pretty good. But, the Japanese Style dumplings were nothing special. They also have hotpot (which I did not try), but I heard it was just okay. For the price I paid ($6.95), it was definitely worth it, the big portions of pork, and since it was also so close to me. Saves me the hassle of getting stuck in traffic and driving all the way out to Boston for a bowl of ramen! read more

This is a nice little gem to eat hot pots & Japanese noodle soup with limited amount of choices, but with a decent price, I have try other items too, like the Japanese Pork fried rice is one of a good item, and there appetizers are pretty good too, there Fried Oyster are the best bargains for there price compare to other restaurant, the waitress are nice & friendly, atmosphere & cleanliness is a plus, I personally enjoy it and recommend to whoever' son the Quincy area are. Raving for some hot pot or Japanese food! read more
