    I absolutely love how I can get such yummy udon in the burbs, it's so flavorful and the spicy is actually spicy. I will be coming back

    shrimp tempura

    As a major udon lover, There were some definite highlights, but also room for improvement. The Udon Noodles: The noodles were a bit overcooked and broke apart too easily, lacking that firm, chewy texture you expect from good udon. The Soup Base: excellent! The mushroom flavor was rich and strong. Personally, I really liked it, though it is potent enough that it might depend on your individual taste. Fried Tofu: Given the price point of the udon, I expected a better quality version of fried tofu. Shrimp Tempura: This was just okay--nothing spectacular. Tempura Sauce: I really liked it because it tasted distinctively homemade rather than store-bought.

    Love that there's a place near me where i can get delicious udon and not have to drive down to seaport or porter square to get me some yume. And what's even better is that the menu here has more broth variety as well. Today, i tried the niku udon, paiten shoyu udon, paitan miso udon and the dandan udon. Honestly, all were so delicious. Can't wait to come back for more.

    I was looking for an udon place closer to home when I don't want to drive into Cambridge for Yume but I haven't found it yet. I ordered the: -Niku Udon: the meat was so so dry and tasted off. The broth had no depth to it, tasted exactly like the premade broths from the udon kits at Hmart. I expected some richness from the broth. The only upside to this dish was the noodles. -Tori Paitan Spicy Miso Udon: the broth had more flavor and depth than the niku udon. Again, in this dish the meat was also dry. A little too heavy handed on the chili oil which coated your mouth as you ate it. Service: You order by yourself using a QR code. Not a fan of the added transaction fee, I'd rather order the regular way. The store was so quiet and the waitresses were standing around, why not just make the experience more personal?

    We got the Tori Paitan Spicy Miso Udon with chicken and the Cold Niku Bukkake Udon. Both were very good, but for us the hot and spicy miso was the favorite. They served the ten-katsu crunch on the side for the miso which was a nice touch. The same dish is available in a non spicy version. The table QR code system was easy, and our friendly server also offered to take our order if we preferred. We were fine with the system as is and found it to be straight forward. The decor style is very classic Japanese - dark wood look. Comfortable and not too formal but nice. We parked on street not too far away - downtown with several options and very easy on a Sunday.

    Excellent. Firm, substantial homemade noodles. Soup is smooth and flavorful. Gyoza, sausages, and spicy cucumber were also great. Nice casual and comfortable space. The owner was warm and welcoming, and appreciated our business, which is always nice. Will be back again soon.

    Such a cute hidden udon spot! We got the hot niku udon soup and the broth was delicious. The meat was also amazing without being too chewy. We also ordered takoyaki and shrimp tempura. Everything was great and I have nothing bad to say about this location. The booth area was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely comeback!

    I ordered cold niku bukake, the beef is delicious, i wanna like the cold broth, but i cant. They did say its cold udon and i thought only the udon is cold the broth still hot i am wrong. Its my fault to want to venture out of regular soup. It the fat from the beef floating on my bowl. It was delicious but I don't think my cup of tea. My husband had tori miso udon, that one is delicious the broth is amazing and the udon soft but slippery which is understandable. We also ordered shrimp tempura. Delish! If you are hungry dont come here it took a while to come. But it worth the wait. Also another problem is the ordering app is not user-friendly. Just like their other restaurant akita ramen the ordering system need to be fix. The resturant is beautiful.

    Food it good cute place to eat but you don't have a waitress or water you order the food your self . Very fresh tasting but pricey

    Food came out fast and they were very attentive and asked my friends and I how was the service and everything. We told them they were great. Currently they are on their soft opening period and only serve 4 types of udon. Spicy niku cold udon, cold udon. Spicy hot udon and regular hot udon. Flavor was great and I'm glad it's close by. Use to always drive into Cambridge for udon so this being close is awesome. Owner came out and informed us that when they are fully opened their menu will have more udon items.

    I spy with my little eye a BIG yellow sign above the doors:…read more [ GIANT WINE SALE ] *Cuts across 2 lanes of traffic, crashes through snowbank, abandons running vehicle in fire lane* The Vineyard is a nice little shop that just so happens to be in between my mother's condo and the highway back to Boston. Don't mind if I do... Offering a variety of delicious wines, beers, and liquor as well as a fresh deli section where you can find "The World of Cheese" - how can you go wrong? Certainly not with the prepared lunch items or freshly made desserts... Stop on by if you've got a party to go to or even if you're spending a quiet night at home. Why not pick up some scratch tickets at the counter as well as some cigarettes or cigars? The Vineyard is here to help you have a great weekend.

    I've been here twice, the first time was just to get a bottle of gin which was pleasant but…read moreunremarkable. The second time I went here was for one of their "grand tasting" events which was terrible. I went with several friends all in our mid 20's. I'm not sure if we were pegged from the beginning as "cheap college kids" or something but the treatment received was astonishing. Granted this is only my second wine tasting event ever and this is only an isolated experience so I'm giving them two stars assuming future experiences might go better and because as a store, they seem acceptable. Now, back to the tasting. My 3 friends and I had always talked about wanting to go to one of these tastings at the vineyard that we see every time we drive by. When we heard about the next tasting we decided try it out and stock up on our favorites. We headed out later that night, walked up, showed our id's, signed in, giving them our address and email, and in return we received some small sample glasses. We have all been getting non-stop emails ever since (sometimes 2 or 3 a day!) which we can't seem to unsubscribe from, but thats another matter entirely. Upon entering we realized this was a rather well attended event and most of the other people present were clearly experienced wine tasters, they appeared to have all brought their own glasses and were all good friends with the people serving wine. We assumed these people would be just as friendly with us. At the first tasting table there were 3 whites and 3 reds to pick from and no one else in line so we walked up, requested the wines were were interested in, tasted them and wrote down our thoughts, no problem. The person serving the wine did not offer us any comments on the wine such as its history or the flavors that we should expect and was otherwise not very talkative, assuming this was an isolated experience and that we would learn more at the next table, we moved on, at least we tried to move on. Thats when we looked at the next table to realize that the server was still talking to the same group of people that he had been talking to for 20+ minutes now and they had long since finished tasting wines. We moved over there and tried to politely interrupt so that we could also sample some of his wines. The people were very rude, refused to make room for us at the table and did not acknowledge our presence. One of the less patient people in our group ended up just breaking into the existing conversation after standing there for 5 minutes and requested to try a specific wine, the server poured him a taste and then went right back into his conversation, ignoring the other 3 of us that were also standing there waiting for service. Another one of us interrupted and asked for a pour, was served and then again he went right back into conversation. After the two more abrupt members of our group tried a wine or two at that table, the rest of us decided to move on to the next one. At the third table we saw a familiar scene, a server deep in conversation with a group of people that appeared to be talking to him for some time, again we tried to break in to try some of the wines but this time we were told to come back later. We complied and moved onto the next table with the identical situation, in fact there was only one other table not in conversation and as we approached it, the server placed his wine under the table and walked away to go attend to something else. At this point we getting the distinct feeling that we were outsiders in a very exclusive club, we didn't have the right wine glasses and we didn't know the right people. I'm not sure what we were doing wrong but we ended up leaving after only tasting about 3 wines each and just made our own wine tasting back at home. My hope is that vineyard reads this and realizes how difficult it can be for some people to enter an exclusive scene and tries to make their wine tastings a bit more "newbie friendly" - maybe put a "wine tasting for dummies pamphlet" out on the table so we know when its appropriate to interrupt and when its not? I hope when we get the confidence to go back to the vineyard for another tasting we will feel a bit more comfortable and hopefully have the opportunity to actually buy something.
