First time visiting for brunch and cannot wait to go back. The feta veg omelette special was delicious - the omelette loaded with veggies and feta cheese, came with a side of beans and rice, and tasty potato hash. Ask for the hot sauce, it's tasty! The meal came with either cream wheat or fruit. Tried cream wheat for the first time and it was sooo good. Warm, cozy, sweet and salty. Entrees came with a bread basket of homemade buttered bread which was delicious too. Service was excellent. Patio ambience was lovely for late morning brunch. Love that they offer breakfast all day. Only complaint is the long wait - but they offer complimentary coffee and lemonade, along with bubbles for kids to stay occupied. Parking in the area can also be hard to find on the weekends. We will definitely be back! read more

Great food, friendly service, and a comfortable space to enjoy a meal with friends! As an island person, having Haitian and other Caribbean flavors to enjoy was like a taste of home! read more

One of the tastiest fried fish sandwiches that I've had in a long time. Adding pikliz to a perfectly seasoned and breaded piece of fish is just a magical combo. I had my food delivered to the office so it wasn't hot and fresh so I can only imagine how good it would be to eat it as soon as it was ready. I'd even forgotten about the cold, soggy fries at that point because the sandwich was so good. Definitely go check this spot out. read more

Great chicken & waffles in nice local restaurant. Affordable price and large portion. If u want to try good food from good price I recommend to Malden & Medford as easy to get to. Had burger and good but chick & waffles great ! read more

The Haitian spaghetti has an Asian taste to it that my girlfriend really liked. Korean wings were underwhelming in flavor and a tad on the dry side. Sweet cornbread waffles and fried plantains were just OK. Flex Mac and cheese was very bland and dry. The diner itself was very clean and the staff were excellent. read more

I honestly have no words for how good the food is at Neighborhood Kitchen! Don't sleep on this hole in the wall. Just do yourself a favor and go! I ordered the creole chicken with rice and beans and a side of macaroni and cheese with a berry limeade. Everything was SO GOOD! The creole chicken was packed with flavor (only $12!) and the Mac and cheese was probably some of the best I've had! The homemade beverages are also a hit! I highly recommend the berry limeade. My boyfriend ordered the salmon burger which was also very tasty! So glad I was able to support this small black owned establishment. read more

Absolute hidden gem, the jerk griot sandwich changed my life. Delicious food and generous portions

Did takeout here. Struggled a bit with the ordering process on Yelp. The regular menu shows items that are not on the Yelp/GrubHub menu. For example, I couldn't get a side of plantains and some of the beverages weren't on there. The food was ok. The Korean wings didn't really taste like Korean wings. The sauce was more of a jerk sauce and it was sitting at the bottom of the take out container, so the wings were dry. The lasagna with the plantains was interesting. The side of plantains were good - that was my favorite item. The portions were a bit on the small side for the prices being charged. Service was friendly. Street parking was easy to find. There was some seating inside. read more

Fantastic brunch with hefty portions. We arrived to the restaurant a little before they opened but they were still able to accommodate us with great customer service and hospitality! Dishes ordered: Stuff French toast ( brunch menu) Chicken and waffles (brunch menu) Pros: - Portions were huge - chicken was very flavorful! - great customer service (friendly staff and management) - presentation of food mint Cons: - stuffed French toast wasn't too flavorful (a little on the bland side) - that's about it... Recommendations: - definitely try the chicken and waffles if you are in the mood for something salty and sweet and have extra room in the stomach because its a lot! ( Good for 2 people) Verdict: Overall very cute brunch spot. Will definitely have to try it again! read more

Aaah literally the best chicken sandwich place in the Boston area (my boyfriend's words) and omg the haitian spaghetti is such a steal ($15 for 2 dinners). We've always had good experiences eating/ordering from NK. And such a unique fusion Asian + Haitian :0 I'm such a fan! Very thankful to the person who recommended this place to me!! This is place is a hidden gem & the local business y'all should support read more

I had to try Neighborhood kitchen, I've recently heard great things about this restaurant. I must say they did not disappoint. This establishment has Asians and Haitians coming together and making sure your palettes are satisfied. They also do catering events, I ordered an NK plate with salmon and fried plantain and it was very flavorful. The owner showed great hospitality and makes you feel as though you are at home. I had the opportunity to chat with her and she's an awesome woman who can cook like it is nobody's business. I highly recommend you come out to Medford and try this place out. You can thank me later, for now fill up your tank and head over there! Food: 4 Customer service: 5 read more

This place is surely neighborhood-y in the fact that it caters to a lot of different flavor profiles. While I am not always a fan of the fusion style restaurant, it surely works here bc everything is just GOOD. Food - Honestly everything we ordered was delightful. My faves were the pupu platter ($15) and the mac and cheese ($9) but I also liked the waffles, chicken, and sandwiches. We got delivery and it was timely. Thanks for being such a delicious dinner and one of the best places to get food from in Medford! read more

Wow, the Djon Djon (Haitian rice), which came with a couple of sweet plantains, is sooo good, adding the pikliz (Haitian pickled cabbage and hot peppers) on top! This was the first time I had pikliz- so spicy and flavorful. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while! It's a small, no frills type of place where you order at the counter and pick a table. Food comes in takeout containers even if you're eating there. I came here with my husband for dinner around 6ish on a Saturday in February. I was incredibly frustrated when we were told two of the dishes we went there to try were out of stock (black rice and pupu platter). That may sound dramatic, but black rice is a haitian food staple, and the pupu platter is their appetizer sampler, so they were both high on the list if must-try to see what the restaurant is about. They did appear to be putting together a large catering order, but I don't think that should impact menu availability for restaurant customers. We ordered spring rolls (yummy), empanada (idk what these are, but they shouldn't be called an empanadas. They were ok), a side of Mac n cheese (not bad), h milly chicken sandwich (mind blowing delicious) and griot with beans and rice (also mind blowing delicious). The service wasn't super warm/welcoming, and the restaurant was literally freezing. We actually ate our meals with our winter parkas on it was so cold in there. Like they didn't have heat on in February...? But I could only take away 1 star because the food is what matters and they're killing it in that area. Everything came out piping hot, perfectly cooked and delicious. Seriously the best griot my husband or I have ever had at a restaurant (and he is Haitian, we eat that a lot). It took me a while to figure out the star rating because I was annoyed with some aspects, but really, the food is what brings us, and it was worth it! read more

I've been waiting over a year to try this place. Every since watching Phantom Gourmet and seeing Neighborhood Kitchen tease my taste buds. I'm a fried chicken and waffles fanatic, they have not only have it but they offer different flavored chicken and different flavored waffles. That being said, on my visit to NK I omitted the opportunity to get my chicken and waffle fix. I guess i dared to be different. I tried the fried fish sandwich, lemon pepper wings, Mac n cheese and the sweet plantains. The fish sandwich was amazing. Fried to perfection with the right amount of toppings and sauce. Definitely a must try. The plantains were good as well. The were sweet and cooked to order. The were soggy and gooey like some places. The Mac n cheese was decent. It was baked and cheesy but there was something missing. Possibly butter but definitely needed more salt. The lemon pepper wings were fried properly. The were just over dosed with lemon pepper seasoning. You have to have the right balance of seasoning because Lemon pepper wings can become overwhelming very easily. I would definitely make a return trip to Neighborhood Kitchen. I have to give the chicken and waffles a test drive and I love the Caribbean and Asian fusion. Good job Neighborhood Kitchen. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for months! The food always looks amazing and I instagram stalk them constantly. Tonight was a order in night, no one wants to cook in 90+ degree weather, so we ordered from neighborhood kitchen. We ordered: the creole chicken plate w/ djon djon rice, wing plate w/ djon djon rice, cheddar bacon scallion flex Mac n cheese, and vegetable rangoons. The good: - food was fresh and piping hot! - very generous portions! we are two adults and a 2.5 yr old, it was enough food for at least 2 meals. - everything was well packed. The just mediocre: - without the addition of the cheddar bacon scallion topping, the Mac n cheese would have been very bland and sad. There was a lot of crusty cheese goodness on top, but the macaroni underneath was not cheesy and creamy, honestly it was light on the cheese for my taste. - the djon djon rice is spicy, I have had a lot of Haitian food and a lot of the mushroom/black rice or so I thought. But I have never had it spicy. It was disappointing, I have a very low spice tolerance, but the worst part was I couldn't give any to my toddler. I wish there was a disclaimer somewhere about the spice. The sweet plantain is a nice touch to combat the spice! - creole chicken was well cooked, but bland, maybe to offset the spice of the rice? - I ordered the wings salt n pepper flavor, I liked that they came with some veg. This was well spiced. It was just okay for me. - the vegetable rangoons: I'm not sure what kind of cheese was used, but it was not creamy and had a bit of a sour taste I could not place. Overall, it was ok. I would be interested to try other menu items, especially the brunch! read more

I've been on the hunt for a new chicken and waffles restaurant but Neighborhood Kitchen is so much more! As a Boston newbie, I've been on a mission to quickly cultivate my list of go-to restaurants when the hunger pangs strike. On this order my hubby and I enjoyed: -Salt & pepper shrimp -Neighborhood Korean chicken and red velvet waffles -Lobster mac & cheese -Juneteenth special (collard greens, mashed sweet potato, mac & cheese, grilled bbq chicken, coleslaw, and a cornbread muffin) -Sweet tea Yes, this is a lot of food for two people, don't be judging! Haha! Overall everything was super delicious and we would definitely order again! As this was a delivery, I was disappointed the waffles were not crispy but their flavor was still outstanding! Also sad that there was no fried chicken available, but I think that would also lend itself to more enjoyment when eaten in the restaurant. Very glad to have tried and will definitely be back. Thank you Chef Eddie Flexx! read more

I ordered off of yelp over the weekend and was impressed by it all! This restaurant brings together all of my favorite food, and is my new favorite restaurant!! I was way too hungry to take pics, but I'll be ordering again from here soon because it was that good! My delivery included two burgers, the fried chicken sandwich, and the steak tip plate, in total it was about $70. The food delivered well, it wasn't soggy or tasteless. Each dish was bomb.com! I do wish the steak tip plate with black rice (djon djon) was a bit bigger, but I will say that the steak tips were seasoned so well, the plantains fried perfectly, and the rice made with just the right amount of djon djon! And the side of pikliz (kind of like a spicy slaw without mayo) was perfect to sprinkle on the sweet plantains, steak, and rice! The sandwiches were SO good. The buns they use are toasted and buttery and added so much flavor. The bacon jam with the chicken Sandwich made for some sweet and salty and salty flavors that were perfect. The burgers we juicy, and again, that bun was DELISH! I appreciate the restaurant paying attention to notes that I wrote in the order, and how delicious they made the food even with delivery. read more

Just the BEST mac and cheese I've ever had. I'm completely addicted! I also loved their spicy chicken sandwich (that bacon jam is to die for). Love this little place! read more

People aren't kidding, the cream of wheat really is that good. I would have naively expected all cream of wheat to be disgusting, but it's delicious. Also has really cute outdoor seating when the weather is good, and lots of different flavors for the tasty mimosas. read more

Consistently delicious and flavorful - I adore this place. The food is unique and always fresh regardless of ordering out or eating in. The variety is great for all sorts of dietary restrictions, which is wonderful if you want home-cooked comfort food without any worries. They go above and beyond to keep the flavor preserved when you order out too, everything is individually wrapped and stacked. The mac and cheese, plantains, and wings are to DIE for. I haven't experienced such an experimental take on these dishes, and they've become family favorites for sure. read more

This little place will surprise you. It's a tiny restaurant in a tiny strip mall that isn't big enough to be called a strip mall, and the food. Is. Excellent. It's the rare place that lives up to its name, and really has a friendly neighborhood and family feel - in part because of some of the staff being actual family. So far we have tried various macaronis, sandwiches, sides, and everything has been amazing. Great flavors, some unique menu combinations, and wonderful service. I hope people keep discovering NK and help them to thrive!! read more

I visited this when they first open and the food was good and nicely season. I decided to order again tonight since I was craving Haitian spaghetti. The Haitian spaghetti was not good at all. Very greasy and all the ingredients were not fresh or cooked throughly. I ended up throwing away the entire order. I tried calling the restaurant soon after to ask if they hire a new chef. The person who answered the food did not even apologize or offer anything to make up for the poor experience and food. Will not be ordering from them again. Waste of $$ read more

The pikliz here is AMAZING! Great pikliz and long lasting in the fridge I mean weeks! The teriyaki steak tips are a bit too sweet for my liking and undercooked, but I think if you enjoy teriyaki flavors and medium rare tips you should give these a try. The pikliz is decent and the tostones are good too but the thinner pieces that are fried crispy taste better, you kind of get a mix of textures where some are too thick and no crisp to them and I prefer consistency. The rice I was not impressed with and it was lacking flavor and salt. I felt it was a pricier meal than it needed to be. I have tried a few other local places that serve the same dishes and they usually ask the customers about their preferences so I would advise in the future to give the option to customers for well done tips and maybe slice the green plantains a little bit thinner. read more

Overall my experience with NK has always been yummy. My go to is always the Flexx Mac & Cheese Cheesy yumminess, even with delivery it always arrives warm and cheesy. This order still Mac & cheese but decided to try the lemon pepper wings. Hmm, I was thinking it would be more like a marinated lemon pepper flavor but it's a dry spice that's shaken on after the chicken is fried. Dry spice isn't a problem but man was it saltyyy.. like parched I need lots of water salty. I wiped a lot of the seasoning off, helped a little and some were edible, so not an entire waste. It of course won't stop me from ordering again.. I just won't order the LP wings and stick to my usual. You still have my business NK. Keep flexxing! read more

I really really didn't want to write this. But here we are, imma be honest with y'all . The food tasted like absolutely nothing. We ordered lobster Mac and cheese, plantains,salmon sandwich, salt and pepper shrimp and two Thai iced teas. The best thing about the meal was the Thai iced tea and that wasn't even all that good because it was warm and the small amount of ice that was in the cup melted almost instantly. We really wanted to love this place, we really did. It came highly recommended. I will be back to give this place another try. It was very busy and maybe somethings got missed in the rush. read more

Food is taste and perfect fusion. Memorable food cooked with care. Service was on point ready when we arrived to pick up.

My friend and I decided to order for pick up and I'm so glad we did. It's the perfect fusion food experience. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken wings and red velvet waffles. My friend ordered a side of Mac and cheese and the sweet plantain lasagna. Yes to all of it. Everything was so good. I absolutely loved the plantain lasagna. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection. I really have no complaints. I can't wait to have a dine-in experience. read more

Wow, I'm not sure where to start. I am giving a 1 star for one reason only - I got a refund. To start, I'll set this up. Our building decided to have this restaurant take orders from tenants and then they would deliver. This would save on the delivery costs. We were told that the food would be here at 6 pm. My family has a tight schedule so I decided to go for it. Read until the end to hear what happened with 'Karen'. We all ordered grilled cajun shrimp. I had the bowl and my son had the taco. You would think the word cajun would mean spice. Not only did they forget the spice but they forgot the flavor. This is par for the whole experience. For my bowl, there was so much rice that it overpowered everything else. There is some type of sauce on top but it was so little that after four bites it was gone. I didn't mind the shrimp having the crunchy parts of the tail on it as it makes it easier to eat. But with so much rice and so little sauce, I was eating basically bland rice with a few bland shrimp. My kid had the tacos. Like mine, his meal was cold. There was no flavor and the shrimp had the crunchy part of the tail. Imagine biting into the taco and crunching on the tail. It grossed him out. He did like the rice but wasn't sure what the bean sauce was. The texture was weird. Lastly, we ordered their version of a Mexican donut but they were out. They didn't call and say anything. Instead, they sent over cheesecake slices, which were frozen. But here's the kicker - someone is our house is lactose intolerant and if they had called, we would have told them. Another epic fail on their part. Now let's get to 'Karen'. I'm going to not mention the person's name for multiple reasons but first and foremost to really piss her off. She calls me from the other building saying that they have the food and could we walk over there. Yes, they went to the other building first and asked us to walk over. When I talked to her, I asked if the food was hot and she assured me it was. I told her if it wasn't and the food wasn't good, I'm going to go ballistic. At that point, she took offense to what I said and called me 'Karen'. This is what you call good customer service, HA! So my kid walked over there. When he got there, the food was sitting in a bag on the counter in the lobby, she was nowhere in sight. But back to the point. When we were on the phone, she started to tell me that I was being rude and offensive to her and that she didn't even want us to get our food. So, let's summarize. The food sucks. Whoever is in charge clearly doesn't understand customer service. This 'Karen' needs to find a career where she isn't in the public eye. To be honest, I'm surprised that we had this experience with the reviews they have. Maybe this was just too much of an undertaking for them. Regardless, I got my money back and I will make sure that we (and my friends) never frequent this place. P.S. Both of us just vomited our dinner. read more

I had the fish patty which was good but very miniature in size for the price of $5. I also had the Caribbean fried fish sandwich which was very flavorful but bread was super soggy. My friend ordered the honey walnut shrimp which had a nice presentation but tasted like pure egg batter. The black rice was good but not authentic. The steak tips were overly cooked and unseasoned. All food serving sizes was very small. We sat there the ambiance was very dry. No music, no tv for the price a customers pay for the food the portion size and livelihood of the restaurant could use improvement. read more

I'll start with the cons, inside needs a fresh paint job. Think they're under staffed as it took some time to be acknowledged for ordering and place wasn't that busy. Pros are the portions, thought they were exceptional as I had leftovers with the wing plate. My son got chicken and waffles and although he finished it that's not surprising as yes a teenager. I got wing plate with djon djon rice. Wings are good, rice is great and plantains are ok. Overall I was happy but it wasn't the most amazing experience you've ever had, thus the four stars. Truthfully should be 4-1/2 stars. read more
