Had a wonderful dinner for 23 guests. Karen helped us to pick a delicious buffet menu that fit our budget. Sarah was a super helpful server. Food was fresh and good portions. Great to have so many gluten-free options. Highly recommend if you are planning an event! read more

Hit or miss, more miss than hit. My dinner tonight was 75% celery 25% chicken. When I said something they packed up my celery to go. My kids gave me grief when I left the to go bag on the table....disrespect all around! Next time they can pay the 200.00 bill. Little do they know I still left a 20% tip. read more

I hadn't been to Oye's in a while but stopped in for lunch not long ago. The experience was wildly different from the last time. I don't know if it was the pandemic, but the quality of everything is worse. I was surprised that they don't even offer chopsticks anymore. It's almost like they've given up. The food certainly tasted that way. It's a real shame because it used to be very good. Revising my four star review down to one star. read more

FYI: Crab Rangoon really slaps + feels authentic, also -- buttery, crisp, caloric, savory.

Food was excellent, I got general gua chicken, pork Fried rice, steak and peppers and chicken fingers Did take out, plenty of parking Price range $20 to $30 I would recommend this to others read more

We've dined here for years, but something terrible has happened to Oye. We usually like to dine here before seeing a show at Imax theater, just a few steps away. In the past the sushi, chinese food and drinks were good. Not on our last visit. It seems there is no oversight or concerned management here anymore. We arrived and barely acknowledged by three young woman at the front desk. Once brought us to our table and roughly placed the menus down along with a pencil that dropped to the floor. We all saw it, including her, and she said, "oh it fell", and walked away. OK. Perhaps the most disappointing sushi item we ordered was the snow crab maki, usually a highlight, but the shrimp tempura used inside the roll was cold, soggy and tasteless. We commented to the waitress that this sushi seemed off and she said she would mention it to the chef. That was the end of that. Nothing was done. You don't even get a fortune cookie at the end of the meal anymore. While this place used to be packed, and I would need to make a reservation, there was no surprise that there were only two other tables seated. I would not be surprised if this location closes soon, sadly that was how bad our experience was. What a loss for Reading. read more

Great gluten free options! So difficult to find Chinese food with gluten free options. This is the place.

Avoid. Not recommended. We wanted Chinese for Christmas and Oye's is known for having gluten free options. We ended up ordering takeout, were sorely disappointed-and hungry. The entrees were flavorless. Not just bland, but in some cases unidentifiable. For example, shrimp fried rice. It consisted of 2 ingredients-plain white rice and shrimp. No tamari, no egg, not a vegetable in sight. Really, just hard white rice and shrimp. The chicken and beef dishes had visible ingredients, but had no flavor. Also, there was no regular rice given or offered at all. So we had entrees on, nothing. To top it off, they gave glutenous fortune cookies. Thankfully, we identified them before consumption. We have no intention to return. So disappointing! read more

This place was awful. St the end of the night the bartender analyzes the tip and if he doesn't like it he will argue with you. Absolutely horrible place. Yay as far way from it as you can read more

First time going here. Very cute place. I went during between lunch and dinner on a Saturday so it was a little quiet. Probably their down time. Bartender was really nice. Started off with an espresso martini. It was good. I ordered the Thai "tong yong" soup, it's normally called Thai tom yum. It was tasty, the chicken was tender. There's usually shrimp in this soup as well and different veggies in there. Never had pea-pods in there before. Sexy girl maki was good. The mango sauce was very light. It has spicy salmon, tuna, yellowtail topped with tuna, salmon, avocado and the mango sauce with a jalapeno. Also had uni sashimi and scallop sashimi. Both were good and it was a good amount compared to other restaurants that I've been to. All and all I would go there again to try more items on the menu. read more

There were tables available but we started at the bar. The bar was comfortable. The bartenders loved their job, and the food was cooked just right. Could've cleaned up the boys room a little bit. read more

Waiter service could be better, but the food tasted very good & was a great value for the price. I do recommend!

Service has gone downhill. Bartender needs to find other employment. Yelling at customers; whispering about customers. Mistreating at least one customer creates a bad atmosphere. We used to call women like her "tarts" because she is only interested in serving the men, in any capacity. She really degrades the restaurant. One customer was told he had to button his shirt (a while back), so he buttoned one button. She insisted it had to be completely buttoned. He left. (It only reads "shirt required", doesn't read it has to be buttoned.) It's a shame because Karen is a great hostess and owner. She just needs to get rid of the dead wood. The food is still fairly good, but I am not an Asian food connoisseur. I wanted to send an email to the owners or contact someone through social media: no such contact available. Now, I know why. read more

So delicious and fresh! Our go to for delivery! Their sushi is AMAZING! Their deliver is fast and prompt! Thank you! A+ read more

My wife just experienced the worst customer service ever from the manager of this location. We have been customers for 5+ years but will not be returning after tonight. Look at the two small 1oz cups of duck sauce they provided for a family of 4 ordering large appetizers (I.e., chicken fingers, crab rangoons, etc). Also, we ordered the beef and mushroom with no mushrooms (just beef) and received other veggies which wasn't a big deal but the meat was lightly coated in sauce (extremely dry). We usually get a nice amount of sauce and serve over rice but this was not the usual. When we called to voice our concerns the manager first HUNG UP ON US! We called back and she basically said we were lying even going to ask the chef if he put sauce on the food and obviously he said yes...... CHECK OUT THE PICTURES FOR YOURSELF. Our family, friends, and colleagues will ALL be warned of Oye's in Reading MA. Customers should obviously come first take it from someone in business development (Me). read more

Another date night, yes it is most every Saturday night, and the choice was sushi, so we went to Oye's. Oye's is a combination Japanese/Chinese restaurant with an excellent sushi selection, with many a special roll. The sushi is made to order, and if you so chose, you could watch the sushi chef in action. Happy to report that it is really, really fresh. If you have ever had sushi that is not, then you know how important freshness is. The unagi is exceptional!!! There are plenty of different, interesting rolls too, so there is choice for everyone. We did have some shumai as well, but they were less than ideal, a bit "doughy" and they came out a bit cold. Oh, well, you can't win em all I guess. We do like wine with our sushi, she had a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and I had the house Chardonnay, both paired well with the sushi. Final word about service, it was exceptionally quick. Shumai, wine and seaweed salad were out almost immediately, with the sushi not far behind. All of this in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Go there, you will not be disappointed. The Chinese dishes that we saw served looked delicious, too. read more

We went here because it's my daughter's favorite Chinese food. So many things were wrong. First - the waiter was rude - he brought waters to the table and left. Finally took our drink order and then finally food. When he delivered the food - he LITERALLY NEVER CAME BACK. haha! The food has gone very much downhill. Even my daughter said it. When it was time to pay we had to get the hostess to give us our bill and I wrapped up a few leftovers. When I said the waiter never came back - she said he was busy! You think? We never got a refill on our drinks or even water. We will not be back. I don't recommend this place at all. Poor service and awful food. read more

We have had some good experiences ordering takeout in the past but tonight's was very disappointing. The avocado salad was delicious but the portion was quite small. The shrimp tempura roll and the Hawaiian Sunshine rolls were both fine. The Drunken noodles though just ruined the entire dinner. Noodles and chicken were both quite dry. Not to be deterred by the lack of moisture and flavor i was persevering through and about half way through I bit an into something not quite right. Very glad I didn't ingest this metal shard pictured below. read more

Dined here for lunch recently and was really disappointed. I feel like this place has really gone down hill. The sushi was great and tasted fresh. The restaurant itself seems dirty. The women's bathroom was very gross. The bartender Chrissy was MISERABLE and really didn't care to be there. If I choice to come back, I will not be sitting at the bar. read more

This was the scene nye at 6:30 pm. It was mobbed and chaos with 100s of people until the police came. No organization whatsoever. At 6:30 they were still filling the orders at 5pm and we were told to return to our cars and they would call or text when our order was ready. It's now noon the next day and never received our food or a call or text and the phone was busy all night. Horrible service from a greedy company who couldn't fill the amount of orders they took. No apology. No cancelling of orders. Zero stars. Don't support businesses like this when so many other restaurants are struggling. read more

New to Reading from Seattle. Decided to get Chinese food and Oye came up. Why not, voted best Asian restaurant in Reading multiple years. Kept it simple, you can always tell how good a Chinese restaurant is based on simple dishes.so I ordered Fried rice and Mongolian Beef. Very disappointed. Dishes were very bland. I have never added salt to Chinese food so this was a first. maybe this is why they give you so many sauces with your meal? Even soy sauce packets for the fried rice? Who knows but I hope this isn't the best Reading has to offer. On to the next. read more

I ordered online last night and never received anything. Called this morning and they said they had cancelled the order and refunded me. This would have been nice to know last night! Admittedly I did order later at night, but they were still open according to their website and I was able to complete the order and received email confirmation. Either fix this or don't take orders so late. I've never tried the food, but this process has turned me off. With so many Asian restaurants in the area, I see no need to try this place again. read more

What happened? The restaurant has paired down their menu, the chicken dish was like cardboard and the service was horrible. To give me tea without sweetener and a spoon? Come on. I know that restaurants are suffering. I am in that business. It was so incredibly disappointing, The bar drink was great! That's about it. The waiter was running around, never asked or served more water. Only after a waitress asked if everything was ok, and didn't wait for an answer, did he come by and ask the same question, and again didn't wait. We won'tbe back. It's to bad, we used to like it there. read more

I live just down the street from Oye's, and it's been a reliably good place for a variety of Asian cuisines. That's a huge plus when eating here, there really is something for everyone and you're not limited to one type of food. They also have a gluten-free menu, and there's live jazz on Friday nights. It's always clean, they take reservations, and if you don't make a reservation the wait usually isn't too bad (unless it's a Friday night or you're ordering takeout on New Year's Eve). I've enjoyed everything I've eaten there, from the sushi to the Sesame Chicken. Their Pad Thai is pretty on-point too, and I highly recommend the Yaki Udon Noodles. They've got some interesting cocktails, although I tend to stick to wine. Their pours are decent. The only negative about Oye's is that their service is on the slower side - it's been slow every time I've been there, regardless of the day or time. You'll definitely be waiting at least half an hour for your food. There's also a delay with the waiters greeting you, taking your drink order, your meal order, bringing the check, etc. Still, despite the wait I think they're totally worth it. read more

We knew New Year's Eve is always busy, so we ordered early, at 5:00. It's now 10:05pm and our food STILL isn't here. My poor kids and company... no dinner! I tried calling several times and the phones wouldn't accept any calls. What do you have to say for yourselves? Unacceptable! read more

Mixed reviews! The gluten free menu and the prices called out to me when searching for a place to go with friends. While I was disappointed with my entree the Chow Mein Foon (stir fried rice noodle, chicken and broccoli) the appetiser Chicken Lettuce Wrap Chicken was great. The wine pours are good and the staff are nice, they try their best. Wanted to love this place for the menu and will possibly try again but not any time soon. read more

The place is beautiful inside with nicely folded napkins, a live band, and comfortable atmosphere. Waited a bit too long to be seated and waiter was occupied for a little too long before getting us our drinks. Made up for it by getting the food out very quickly and it was delicious and well presented. Only other mentionable thing is having to wait for refills. read more
