Disappointing Water was warm , no ice, disappointing Why not leave a fresh pitcher filtered ice water? Sitting area nice and comfortable Waitress very pleasant A lot of staff for few lunch visitors Ordered the boneless ribs and was told they were out? Why? Disappointing Then ordered the chicken wings and these were supposed to spicy but appeared was the salt and pepper version but excellent chicken wings and good quantity . I needed a dipping sauce and had to ask for. Ordered the family of three This dish had nice presentation with the fried noodle basket . It was difficult to eat the fried noodles? It all Came on a bed of lettuce ? Lose the lettuce. Make noodles softer to eat or provide a knife which I didn't have ? I wanted to cut my huge jumbo shrimp in pieces? Meat too. The shrimp were outstanding in size and freshness, meat velvet tender , only minimal scallop slices, The vegetables, chicken, shrimp, beef, was deceiving in this noodle basket as was alot of product in the basket. I thought food was excellent to very good but needed more brown sauce for the dish as brown sauce was addictive . I wanted bone in ribs on the menu. I ordered and wanted the boneless ribs and they were out? A prior diner's boneless rib pic is what drew me in to try this location in Wellesley . I'll revisit again was food was well Prepared .

While I can't say for certain what caused it, this was the only unusual food I ate that day. The service was not too pleasant either, overall this experience was very disappointing and has made me hesitant to return.

RiceBurg Wellesley is a casual restaurant that combines Asian-inspired flavors with a burger…read moreconcept using rice buns instead of traditional bread. We walked into a bright, modern space with a straightforward setup that keeps the focus on the food. The interior is clean and functional, designed around counter service and quick turnover, and the energy stays casual and approachable throughout the meal. It feels like the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick meal without the formality of a sit-down restaurant, and the steady flow of customers reflects its popularity as a neighborhood spot for something different. The rice burgers are the main highlight. We ordered the chicken katsu rice burger and found the rice buns gave the burger a different texture, making it feel lighter than a traditional burger while still being filling. The rice held together well and provided a subtle nuttiness that complemented the crispy chicken and savory sauce. The sauces and toppings matched the rice base naturally, and the combination of textures, from the crispiness of the chicken to the softness of the rice buns, made each bite feel balanced and satisfying. The bowls are also a solid choice if you prefer something more traditional, with options like katsu and bulgogi-style flavors that offer the same Asian-inspired profile in a more familiar format. The katsu bowl came with a generous portion of crispy chicken over rice, topped with a rich sauce and fresh vegetables, and the bulgogi bowl offered a savory, slightly sweet flavor that held up well against the rice and vegetables. The fries and sides are another strong part of the menu. They have a more unique style compared to typical fast-food fries, with a light crispness and seasoning that made them stand out, and they paired well with the main dishes. The menu has enough variety that you can come back and try different items instead of feeling limited to just the rice burgers. Service was friendly, and the food came out efficiently, with the staff handling the steady flow during peak times without making the experience feel rushed. RiceBurg is a fun take on fusion comfort food. The rice burgers, creative flavors, and variety of options make it stand out from typical burger spots, offering a meal that feels familiar yet distinct, and a place worth visiting when you want something with a different twist.

Great quality and creative options. Chicken katsu curry and scallion pancakes were fantastic.read more

I am writing this review to express my deep disappointment regarding the service we received today,…read morewhich unfortunately reflects a recurring pattern of errors with our recent takeout orders. We placed an order today for orange chicken and white rice, but after pickup and arriving home we discovered the rice was missing. This is not an isolated incident, as items are frequently omitted from our orders. When my partner called to address the mistake, the initial offer of a simple credit for the rice was inadequate given the inconvenience. I followed up by offering to drive back to the restaurant to pick up the missing item, but this request was refused. Furthermore, I was disappointed by the lack of professionalism during our communication. After I requested to speak with a manager, the staff was reluctant to assist and eventually hung up on me while I was trying to resolve the issue so my partner could enjoy his meal as intended.

I had really been looking forward to trying this place and was finally able to on Valentines Day…read more The decoration was adorable and I'm pretty sure they were booked out for the evening. There was a great singer, pianist, and sax player to really set the mood. They were super fun, especially when a couple got engaged! To start, I got their ginger martini and while my friend went with a Do-er neat (not a whiskey drinker myself, lol). He tried to order 2 of their beers but they were out of both. My drink came after 15 mins and then we had to remind the waiter about his whiskey. That took another 10. We started with the chicken bao buns and the samosas. Both spectacular! My only complaint is the little size for the samosa size. For our mains we got the short rib and the white butter chicken. The butter chicken could've used a bit more chicken for the price and was frankly a bit tough. The sauce was great. The short rib was flavorful and packed the perfect punch. Dipping the garlic naan in both sauces was my fav part!! Overall an ok experience. I want to give the restaurant grace because it was very packed but service was poor. I think we had 4 different staff members help us total which probably led to lots of miscommunication.

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.

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.

The meal arrives, I've ordered this dish many times here... this got worse each visit? The beef was not tenderized and tough chew. The rest was good , no flavors in sauce.
