There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

The first time I came here I ordered a la carte. This time I came to try the AYCE after a workout…read moreclass. I ordered their platinum menu since that came with uni and chutoro options. They served me the platinum options first and then provided the gold menu. I enjoyed trying a handful of option on theur menu that I don't think I would have if I was doing a la carte. Like their freshwater seaweed salad (which was a bit underwhelming) and their eel toast (which was pretty good) and their crispy tuna (also a bit mid). I also went for their Thai green tea which I felt was too floral to be enjoyable. So while I enjoyed trying new options I don't think I loved any of them. I also have to say their sashimi and nigiri options are not buffet sized but actual entree sized so be cautious when ordering. That being said the waitresses were attentive and I never felt rushed. However, something to flag is they calculate the total of everything you are during the buffet and not the buffet price and base gratuity on that. I didn't look before tipping and after I left I was quite confused on why the bill was higher than I expected.

Just wanted to give an update on their newest AYCE menu (Wed & Thurs). There are 3 tiers from gold,…read moreplat, diamond. Uni and wagyu are on the plat tier and that's what we went with. You are limited to 4 items from that tier per person, so it's not unlimited but you will still get your $$ worth. The diamond tier can you get 1 more item but seems a little overkill. Service and vibe is still amazing. Appetizers are tasty. Fish is fresh. Sashimi slices are just a bit thick. You order the platinum plus items with the server and the rest is through the online portal. The one thing you have to understand is that the food portions are not designed to be AYCE. They are full size orders! There is a time limit but do not make the mistake of over ordering with your eyes if you feel pressured.

The first thing that made me happy was grilled goat since many of the meats are typically fried. The grilled goat was fantastic. The flavor and the sauce were so good. The rice was also pretty good. The griot was soft and seasoned well. The rice was soft and flavorful. My other favorite part of the meal with the legume. It was so good that I went back to get more a few days later! The prices are a little high and the wait can be long, which is why it's a 4 and not a 5. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and we'll be back. I highly recommend if you're looking for good Haitian on this side of town.

This was disappointing to say the least. I wanted to support Haitian restaurants on Haitian Flag…read moreDay so I'm like, let me order from one of the most popular Haitian restaurants in Massachusetts. To be quite honest, the food was very subpar and lacked authentic Haitian flavor. To make matters worse, the quantity was disappointing as you can see in the photos attached. $24 plate of meatballs with only four burnt meatballs and overfilled rice that didn't even take authentic? Also, I ordered beef legume and it definitely had pork in it and the pork didn't taste good. The food was not properly secure so the sauce fell in the bag on the way to me via DoorDash. I would honestly say if you are craving Haitian food that tastes like your family made it, you might want to go somewhere else. If you are okay with a sort of revitalized Haitian cuisine, feel free to order from here.

There's a small bar at one end serving beer, cocktails and food. While we were there the line up was a couple local indie bands. A great place to check out the local music scene. Minus one star because there was a strange smoky oily smell which may have been coming from another business but was unpleasant.

Super friendly staff running the place. I love that it's mainly a live band space with a nice sized bar in the back. Support live music people. Super fun night at The Jungle!

The food is all the same through all restaurants, so you're not missing out by going to one and not the other. Anyway this is easily the best Mexican restaurant in Massachusetts. The food here is absolutely outstanding and as someone who is always craving flavor and authenticity, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! I don't think you can get a single bad dish here, I always go for the birria tacos, and they were delicious. They were a nice soft crisp taco, and absolutely tender meat inside with cilantro and onion and the side of sauce. YUMMM The service was good! I believe they're bilingual, so spanish and english friendly is really great! The ambiance is also very cozy, you have great scenery all around and paintings and colors. You honestly don't see much of vibrancy anymore in restaurants but this place this holds up which is really awesome. The ONLY thing that was bugging me was the weird laundry smell in the restaurant, it smelt more of clean clothes than food lol. But to be honest it isn't the worst thing a restaurant could have, good thing to have it at least smell good The pricing is also very fair! The birria tacos cost me 12-14$, and my friend got the first brush and a drink for 22$. Give this place a shot if you're looking for something new to eat!! I'll be coming back lol

The Good: I ordered the crispy chicken tacos - DELICIOUS!!…read more We ordered street corn to share - very good! The "needs improvement" section: We ordered the chips and guacamole and salsa. The chips were really hard and thicker than most tortilla chips. They didn't taste like anything to be honest. The guacamole was okay, the salsa was very bland. My friend got birria tacos and was not a fan. She said they were very sweet. The rice that came with her plate was good though. I ordered Churos which are suppose to come with ice cream (says the menu) but it did not. The churo was okay but I wouldn't order it again. Service was slow. Even the tortillas and guacamole took over 20 minutes to get to the table. Server was nice. Not terribly outgoing but nice. We wanted to give this place a try; it was a good one time "tryout".

The interior was dimly lit with exposed brick walls and sports on the TV screens. For drinks, I chose the 1, 2, 3, 4 mocktail. This was one of the best mocktails of my life! The refreshing early grey really balanced out the tangy mango cold foam with tajin. They had a substantial non-alc and low ABV menu, which I love to see. For food, we ordered a bunch of plates to eat family-style. Our server had recommended the Pickled Mushrooms, which I thought were just alright. My favorite item was the Burrata with gooseberries, and the Caramelized Onion Dip was pretty good, as well. I was really unimpressed with the Fried Polenta, which had the skimpiest topping of braised short ribs. Service was good overall, but our drinks kept getting bussed before we were finished with them, which was unfortunate. Overall though, a good experience!
