There are options for AYCE as well as by weight, and if you do by weight you have to weigh everything you get at the side buffet and only get meat from the counter, so we opted for AYCE because that seemed cumbersome. The service here was friendly and attentive and as long as your token is green, the meat literally comes nonstop! I really liked their sides and salads, especially the plantains and fresh fruits. The meats were perfectly done and though they didn't really ask, all my pieces were medium/medium rare which is how I like it. The cut that was infused with garlic was really good, as were the sirloin and the chicken hearts and spicy pork sausages. Some pieces were very salty, but I'm pretty sensitive to salt. The grilled pineapple was luscious. If we didn't already have cake waiting for us at home, I would have definitely indulged in some tres leches or lime cake. They ended the meal with cooked cheese dipped in honey or guava sauce which was interesting. The fresh fruit at the salad bar was really refreshing. I probably wouldn't come back because it's just way too much meat/food for me and not my usual favorite (also rather pricey for dinner/weekends). However, my family had a great meal here and I think it's definitely a step up from fogo de chao in terms of quality and service. If you're into Brazilian steakhouses (or steak in general) I would highly recommend this place.

We got an…read moreamazing booth seating, but really wanted their fancy bus seating which gives a classic diner feel to the restaurant. TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

I think there is a lot left to be desired here. I had a party of 7 with a reservation, but they…read morecould not seat us until 15 minutes after our reservation time. This is due partly to another party ahead of us not leaving promptly, but I think the restaurant could have been ready ahead of us as well. I will admit that I enjoyed the ambiance - it had nice low lighting with contemporary decor which made a nice dinner spot. The service in terms of both the waiters and kitchen did not feel timely either. It took a while for drinks to arrive and there were barely any water refills in general. We ordered four different dishes on our side of the table and they were somewhat bland. The vegetable momos definitely need some kind of sauce since they were lacking in flavor. We also got a curry chicken thigh, beef noodles, and butter tofu. I think only the beef noodles had a good enough flavor profile and kick to them. I was also surprised that the portion sizes weren't close to what you would expect for the price. I think with so many good south Asian spots in the area, it's hard to recommend Martsa. I might consider coming back if I learn that there is a particular dish that I am missing out on.

I rarely leave reviews like this, but my experience at Encore Boston Harbor was bad enough that I…read morefeel obligated to warn other business travelers. The problems started before I even arrived. I was traveling from Logan Airport and followed Encore's own website instructions for the shuttle. Those instructions were wrong. Because the hotel had not updated its posted pickup location, I spent roughly an hour walking around downtown Boston in the rain trying to find the shuttle. I called twice for help and spoke with two different representatives, both of whom were deeply uninterested and unable or unwilling to provide useful assistance. When I finally found the correct shuttle area, I waited even longer in the rain, only for the driver to tell me and two other passengers that we needed to get on a different shuttle that was already pulling away from the curb. We literally had to chase it down to catch it. Because of this, I missed a work meeting. Unfortunately, arriving at the hotel did not improve the experience. After standing in an excessively long check-in line, I finally got to the front desk, where the staff confidently insisted that I needed to pay the full room amount, even though my company had already paid for the reservation. At that point I was exhausted, wet, and late, so I paid it just to get into the room. Now my office manager is having to argue with the hotel because staff are apparently claiming I never had a reservation at all -- which is especially strange given that I am currently sitting in the room, and we have an emailed receipt showing that the room was already paid for. Even worse, the staff member speaking with my office manager has reportedly been snarky, condescending, and dismissive while she tries to resolve a problem created by the hotel's own systems. Rather than helping investigate the discrepancy, he appears to be treating her as though she is confused or incompetent. That is unacceptable customer service under any circumstances, but it is especially galling when she is the one trying to clean up Encore's billing and reservation mistake. This was not one minor inconvenience. It was a cascade of failures: incorrect transportation instructions, unhelpful phone support, chaotic shuttle coordination, a missed business meeting, a miserable check-in process, an apparent duplicate charge, and now a billing/reservation dispute being handled with condescension instead of professionalism. For a hotel that markets itself as a luxury resort, this was genuinely embarrassing. Nothing about this experience felt organized, hospitable, or guest-focused. It felt like a high-end property with low-end operations and staff who could not be bothered to solve problems they helped create. Encore Boston Harbor may be a great place to stay if you enjoy being wet, late, overcharged, dismissed, and treated like an inconvenience. I will not stay here again, and I would strongly caution business travelers against relying on this hotel for anything that requires competent logistics, accurate billing, or basic customer service. Beautiful building. Broken operation. Absolutely not worth the aggravation.

Eight years. That's how long I've been coming to Sura, and it has never once let me down…read more The all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ here is fantastic. The quality of the meats is consistently excellent, and the side dish bar alone is worth the trip. An entire spread of banchan where you take as much as you can handle. Everything is fresh, and the flavors are incredible every single visit. What keeps me coming back beyond the food: the service is fast and friendly, and you're never rushed out the door. I've interacted with the owner multiple times over the years -- efficient, welcoming, and clearly cares about running a great restaurant. The ambiance rounds it all out. One practical tip: give yourself extra time for parking. There's a lot in the back plus metered street parking on the front, side, and back, but weekends can get tight. Plan for it and you're golden. Eight years of consistency doesn't happen by accident. Highly recommend.

Shabu-shabu lovers, this place is a MUST!…read more This was one happening shabu-shabu house! We arrived around 6 PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes for a table for two. It was buzzing, lively, and definitely loud--but the service was fantastic. Here's how it works: the base price includes your broth and access to a HUGE buffet featuring seasonal vegetables, rice cakes, noodles, fish cakes, and so much more. You can add à la carte meats and seafood, plus drinks. There was honestly such an incredible variety on the buffet that we didn't even feel the need to order extra meat or seafood. Everything was plentiful and surprisingly well-stocked throughout our meal. Check out my photos and videos to see just how much there was to choose from! Hands down, the best shabu-shabu/hot pot I've ever had.

I love this place! Such a staple in Boston for AYCE hotpot…read more The service is quick and very friendly. Our server, Jose, helped reset the hotpot heaters at my table because two of them were not working initially. He also checked in on my table multiple times for more meat orders and water refills despite a full and busy dining room. They have a variety of greens, mushrooms, noodles, fishcakes, and other vegetables for hot pot. They also have rice, kimchi, eggs, and a sauce bar with a plethora of options. You are also able to order meat, fish, and shrimp for an extra charge with the server. All their ingredients are super fresh and pair super well with all of their broth options. I got the mala broth, which is pretty spicy and super flavorful. The best part is that there is matcha and vanilla soft serve for a sweet treat to end the night. Overall, I think the price is reasonable for what you are getting and the fact that there is nearly always a line speaks to how good it is. I will definitely be back when I am in Boston!

I was totally shock on how good Tin Tin buffet was. Not saying it's the best AYCE Chinese buffet…read morebut for a neighborhood Chinese buffet, it does the job. For $20-$25, if you go on the weekends, it's dinner all day. I recommend doing that rather than going for lunch time. If you attend dinner, they offer some of the best Cajun seafood boil. Take my word for it, you'll be surprised how good it is lol I come here often now with my friends just for the seafood boil. For what they're charging nowadays for fresh crawfish is ridiculous. Even the prices for frozen crawfish is crazy. I know, inflation and high demands. Sure lol I'll stick to a mid quality seafood boil any day. Next dish I LOVED was their salt and pepper fried shrimp. Jumbo shrimp that tastes fresh with the right amount of salt seasoning. I would definitely come back every other month lol

The restaurant was festive, playing Christmas music and decorated for the holidays. Pretty cheap compared to other buffets in the area if you're looking for that. However, I had a pretty uncomfortable experience at my visit today that hadn't happened at prior visits. It was a slow Thursday lunchtime for them and we were instructed to seat ourselves after waiting a couple minutes for the host to finish her conversation with a coworker. We only got water for beverages and had our plates taken once and water refilled once. I didn't particularly feel like the service/attention to us was great, so I left a tip that I felt was appropriate. Most of the time we were eating, the servers were just sitting at a table talking with each other or on the phone as it was slow. The lady who was charging my card was staring at me and the screen to see what tip option I would select. When I put in a custom amount, she got upset with me and made a scene about it. I felt that this was not only unnecessary, but rude and caused a loss of a repeat patron to this business. My friend that I was with was visibly uncomfortable and he felt pressured to leave a bigger tip after I was charged first. Then as we walked out, the host was very dismissive to us when we said bye and to have a good rest of their day. Overall, at least for myself, this place isn't worth the lower price tag for service and food like that. It's unfortunate because prior to this experience, I was telling my friends about this place, but this will no longer be the case. Hopefully they can better their service standards.
