We were looking for healthy options to eat and Clover came up in the list…read more We dined at the restaurant and it was almost empty on a Sunday afternoon. Each one of us ordered a dish including the chickpea fritter sandwich, mushroom parm platter, and the bridgewater platter. On the side, we had the rosemary fries and the rosemary lemonade. Overall, our experience was good. The food was tasty, portions weren't too large but were sufficient. The chickpeas fritter sandwich came loaded and was actually a little difficult to eat and had to be deconstructed! The reason for taking one star off was that the food arrived cold even though we dined in. The fries especially were just stone cold. It was ironic that we were sitting right next to the sign which said that the fries here are cut only 10 mins before you eat them. It certainly didn't feel like it. And while you can eat certain items cold, fries are not it.

First time here and it was great! We did the AYCE all-you-can-eat on a Monday (they only do it…read moreMonday and Tuesdays) - got there around 7:30p and even though it was very full, we got seated quickly with a table for 3. It's $50 for the regular AYCE or $80 for the Premium AYCE. We opted for the former, and it was plenty great. We have done lots of AYCE sushi and I will say this is the BEST of them - I think it's because it's the same grade sushi as they would normally do Ala carte on other nights. The $50 menu had plenty of sashimi and regular nigiri (sushi with rice) options and some Thai too. We had mostly the sashimi Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Octopus, a few rolls, some edamame, gyoza, shumai. My favorites were the salmon, as the cuts were large, thick and amazing silky, and the gyoza, as it was perfectly crispy. The Pad Thai was bit way too sweet for my taste - a skip for me next time. The decor is very nice - reminded me of a dive Tokyo bar. Service was quick and very attentive. We will be back!

Have been hearing about their Mon & Tue AYCE, so went on to try it a month or so ago. With what…read moreseems to be a recent price increase, now $50++ allows access to a good variety of sushi/sashimi, on top of apps, ramen, poke bowls, and cooked rice/noodle dishes. Whereas $80++ offers diners a set of amount of uni, plus unlimited amount of everything else, wagyu included. Sounds like a good deal, especially when one can eat a lot. Even as we are no longer Team Eat Till You Burst, we went for the premium, mainly for the nicer cuts such as toro and wagyu, and because uni!! Jumping in shortly after 5pm, we were promptly seated, marked a bunch of stuff on paper, and soon after submission, we got food brought to our table. It was a decent meal overall, so why 3 stars? Let's recap. Menu variety is fantastic, though of course we didn't get "one of everything", coz that's simply impossible. While the premium did cover a lot of grounds, it would have been nice if they also included anago (sea eel) which is currently only available on the a la cart menu, and maybe even offer couple lesser-known items such as monk fish liver app, sea grapes, off-the-beaten-path fish cuts, what have you. Would be happy even if we only get an allotment of those like we do with the uni. Now, service - great overall. Servers circulated around and were alert of customers' needs. Approached at appropriate times to take our order sheets, refill water, provide new order sheets, and ask if we wanted more food. So kudos on that. Their denotation of serving "regular portion" of cooked food had us hesitant in ordering, since we didn't want to be wasteful (or use our limited stomach space for dishes we can easily get elsewhere). But from other tables' orders as well as the one noodle dish that we ended up getting, it seems that the portion size was what I would like to see at AYCE places -- about 50-60% of regular Asian dish size, where 3-4 people can each have a couple bites "just to try". However, to think if that is what they call "regular portion", then it is definitely "Brookline pricing" on a la carte, which I would not recommend one to do such things on these items. Food is fantastic in general; we got a variety of stuff, and everything was really of top quality and taste. The meal would have been a "highly recommended" if they didn't serve the uni that we got. Out of the 12 pcs of uni sushi, all of them were... while not "foul" to a point where one cannot safely consume, they were definitely more sub-par than "ok but not great". Colors aside (which I understand there can be a range depending on origins and such), the uni was a "splat" of yellow stuff on rice, without distinct shape of the flesh. On top of the fishy smell (I'm talking about slightly ammonia-ish), the presentation and taste-texture upon them hitting our tongues... really left the ENTIRE room to be desired. In retrospect, we should have sent them back even if they weren't going to replace them. But instead, we stupidly forced ourselves to shove them all down in cowardly silence, then ordered another round of wagyu just to make us feel a little better about it. Yes, we weren't smart as customers. But if the restaurant is going to charge $100++ per person (after tax and tip), someone from the kitchen should have known better than pushing this thing out for customers to deal with. In their defense, yes, the uni itself was still "edible" in a sense that it didn't make us sick, but I'd maintain that better judgment should have been made. Once the shell was cracked open and you see this pale-gray yellow mush, it should have been decided that it is better repurposed, than be served straight to your customers as your star/featured product. As seen in other diners' experiences, it could just have been a one-off mishap, so I'm not knocking them entirely. But I do hope the restaurant would improve on their QC accordingly. It was such a disappointing low point in an otherwise wonderful meal.

What a FANTASTIC breakfast spot!…read more Came here on a Sunday for breakfast and what a treat! Started off with their fluffernutter latte and their lavender matcha latte. Both were perfect starts and very flavorful. Everything was phenomenal from their regular egg breakfast to their morning madness to their pancakes. I think their breakfast potatoes are real stars too. Perfectly crispy but soft inside. They have plenty of drink options for a boozy brunch as well. We saw everything from dates, to family breakfasts, to girlfriends boozy brunch. This place is cute and clean so it's good for any occasion. Service was fast and friendly. We came around 9:30am and it wasn't too packed which was great! I can foresee a slight wait as time progresses.

Perfect for a date night, dinner with a friend, or bringing your family. Kelcey was our server and she was fantastic (and was really good with kids!). Can't comment on parking as we walked there. HIGHLY recommend this place and hope to come back when we visit next.

Our server was kind and attentive, constantly refilling our chilled water which was so refreshing after walking. Our meal was scrumptious and satisfying. We ate every last morsel. They were mildly spicy, in a pleasant way. The tofu was particularly tasty--I wish I knew the recipe! Only a minor critique is that the music was all terrible covers of popular music, it made us laugh. Highly recommend!

We were seated immediately and shared four lunch specials. The yellow curry had a nice heat that grew in your mouth, the potatoes so soft and the veggies with a satisfyingly soft crunch. The Pad See Ew chicken was classic, colorful, and satisfying. The Chili Basil Tofu was my favorite--if I could make tofu like this, I'd eat it every day with a different sauce each day. And the Pepper Garlic beef was tender and delightful. The flavors all complemented each other beautifully. I was too focused on the food but was surrounded by three others who kept remarking on the playlist: all truly awful covers of pop songs. My brother-in-law quipped that while he hates Oasis with a passion, the cover made him prefer the original, and he launched on a tirade about the sheer wretchedness of all things Oasis, which absolutely counted as my lunchtime entertainment. I want to try the sushi here next time I'm here!
