    30. tantanmen beef brisket 43. grilled duck ramen
    Megan Y.

    Wow, full circle moment coming back here to this specific location to eat a bowl of ramen after almost 7 years (last time was November 2018). It's funny how other things change but some things stay the same. My friend and I tried ordering the edamame but they had run out. We ended up getting the korean fried chicken bao but it showed up 1/2 way into our meal. The baos were decent. Same with our waters, we had to beg for them. But the star of the show - the ramen - was spectacular. I really enjoyed my slightly spicy tantanmen beef brisket ramen. The broth was insane, as was the broth of my friend's grilled duck ramen (her usual order).

    The place has changed! They completely renovated the restaurant in the Prudential location and I'm happy to say that it looks really nice including the restrooms which were badly needed! The food was constantly good in terms of one of my favorites, the Katsu chicken curry. I also love the Korean chicken wings, which I never had before but I'm telling you this is a must if you haven't tried it and you like Korean spice flavors. The food seems to be the same with a few adjustments. They added Korean slider which was OK. The "Positive" juice is always my favorite from the juice menu. I was really happy to meet John the manager who was very welcoming. Service was excellent this time around.

    Chicken Katsu $20

    Good: -Chicken Katsu- cut in to small portions with a bowl of rice with curry on top, salad on the side. 10/10 -Getting food was quick Bad: -Service was incredibly slow, waited for my check for 15 minutes had to get someone's attention that I'm ready to check out even though it wasn't busy. Everybody was standing around talking to each other. -staff was cordial but not very friendly. -tipping started at 18%. I did not believe the server deserve any tip but I paid 15% anyway because I'm hopeful they split it with kitchen who basically carried the team by cooking up the delicious meal. I absolutely do not recommend eating in. I do recommend carrying out though if you want to try the food.

    Very nice. I loved the food and the atmosphere was really cool. I would come back definetly.

    Mandarin Salad

    The food overall was decent. The duck ramen was good since the duck itself was savory and juicy. The chicken katsu however was dry and very thin since it's not from the pork loin and most likely pounded. Potstickers were just okay but should be more crispy. The mandarin salad was tasty. Service was kinda slow since even at 3pm it was busy due to the Anime Boston just ending that day.

    Ordered Wagamama on Uber Eats after a long travel day and didn't have the best experience in part due to Uber Eats and to Wagamama itself. I've had their ramen before and never thought it was the tastiest, but I didn't have anything bad to say about it either - there are definitely better ramen spots in the city. However, this time, we weren't provided any broth for our ramen and only had the noodles itself which were dry and chewy. Taste profile was lacking as well. Was a disappointing experience after a long day.

    70. chicken teriyaki donburi
    Masmin P.

    Casual sit-down Asian food, communal tables with bench seating. Service was quick- food came out in no time at all. Food was fine, large portions. The miso cod soba was a bit light in flavor. The Korean fried chicken bao was very good- sticky sweet sauce and crispy batter, in a fluffy bun.

    The food. The set up; a mixture between the menu selection & certain presentations. A fun place to eat in a mall, not typical of usual mall food or major chains. It was just a well-rounded dining experience. And family friendly. Would definitely return

    Miso cod soba.

    After all of these years, I still enjoy some wagamama! Is it the most authentic ... no. Is it reliable ... yes. There's something nice and comforting about getting exactly what you're expecting every single time. If I had to pick a favorite dish, it would have to be the Katsu Chicken. It always hits the spot and is sooooo yummy. I also enjoy the sake flight and the amazing variety of fresh juices. The juices really amplify this place and set it apart from just being average. This place is great for a nice, chill bite to eat after some shopping!

    I visited Wagamama in Prudential on recommendation from a friend on a work outing for a conference. The restaurant wasn't very busy for a Thursday evening. We were able to be seated immediately. The server was friendly enough. I didn't get the vibe that anyone that worked there was particularly bubbly and friendly but our server was ok. The food was also just ok. I ordered chicken ramen and a Korean BBQ bun. I enjoyed the ramen, but was not a fan of the sauce on the Korean BBQ bun at all, which was interesting because I ordered it on recommendation from our server. Overall, it was just ok. There's so many places to eat in the area and this just didn't wow me.

    25. chili chicken ramen
    Savannah H.

    They have an open kitchen so I can tell that there are only 4 people back there on a Friday night and two of them are leaning and chatting for the past twenty minutes. It took 15 min for one of my apps to come out-the gyoza. It tasted microwaved. It was another 5 min after that that the drink I ordered right as I sat came. Not a cocktail. Just a canned drink. As I write this it's been 30 min since I sat and my other app (the pressed ahi ) still isn't here. I had also requested a side of firecracker sauce that did not come. 40 min in: pressed ahi came but not the sauce. Upon reminding it came. I should clarify they are maybe 20% full at 8 pm on a Friday. Waga at fanuiel is actually a favorite of mine for lunch since I work in the area. Theirs is so genuinely good. Getting the pressed ahi gyoza and ramen here it feels like someone skimped and was high and microwaved it. Take the 10 min trip to the other location if you want this food-this location isn't worth it. Service is abysmal and so is the quality.

    25. chili chicken
    Christian H.

    Axel was wonderful and so was the food!!! Absolutely delicious - some of the best chicken I've ever had in a ramen.

    My best friend, his wife, and I went here last night before my train ride back to Connecticut. This was my first time here and I have to say for a chain restaurant, the ramen was on point. I had the tantanmen beef brisket ramen and it reminded me of birria ramen. The beef was tender and it had the right about of tang and spiciness. I would definitely come back.

We walked into a space with an energetic atmosphere, an open kitchen, a lively dining room, and a contemporary design that makes the restaurant feel both casual and polished. The layout encourages ordering several dishes for the table, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to build a meal that feels different with each visit. The small plates are the biggest draw because they let you try a wide range of flavors without committing to a single entrée. The pork belly buns are one of the signature dishes, featuring tender pork inside soft steamed buns with a balance of sweet and savory flavors. The dan dan noodles are another standout with their rich, spicy sauce, while the Brussels sprouts have developed a strong following thanks to their crispy texture and bold seasoning. We also appreciated that many dishes are available as half portions, making it easier to sample more of the menu without ordering too much food. The menu offers a good balance between familiar favorites and more creative dishes, with each plate feeling thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, making it easy for groups with different dietary preferences to find something they enjoy. The service matched the pace of the restaurant during our visit. The staff were attentive, dishes came out steadily as they were ready, and the servers were helpful with recommendations for building a meal around multiple small plates. The restaurant stays busy throughout the evening, so making a reservation is a good idea, especially for dinner or larger groups. Myers+Chang is one of the better places in Boston for creative Asian-inspired small plates. The combination of bold flavors, shareable portions, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong service makes it a restaurant that is easy to return to, especially if you enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of ordering a traditional entrée.

    TLDR: Potentially…read moreone of my favorite Chinese restaurants in all of Massachusetts! Beautiful interior, centrally located, and delicious, high-quality food. Will definitely find a reason to come back here soon. ------ FOOD: 1. [MUST TRY] STIR-FRIED CABBAGE W/ PORK BELLY (5/5) Presentation was phenomenal (in a clay pot with its own burner underneath to keep it hot). The portion was much larger than expected, and most importantly, it tasted incredible. Generous amounts of pork in this, and the sauce was authentic and addicting. 2. SCALLION CHICKEN (5/5) Another great choice. This was a huge portion with lots of tender chicken, and the scallion was present without being overpowering. 3. CRISPY BEEF WITH FRIED DOUGH STICKS (5/5) I was expecting Chinese you tiao but these were actually the small, ultra crispy manhua twists! Paired with the beef, this was a large and unique dish that I loved. The crispiness of the mahua made this a textural delight to eat. 4. MANGO SAGO DESSERT (5/5) Big portion, wonderful assortment of toppings including grapefruit, mango, sago, and popping balls over a creamy dessert soup base. 5. PEKING DUCK (4/5) I think I'm a tough critic since I just came back from Beijing and had so much Peking duck there. We ordered the half portion here and it had a generous amount of meat for not being the full portion. There were an assortment of accompaniments, including pineapple (new to me) and sugar (like the Beijing style) which were welcome additions. The wrappers were steamed well and didn't curl up on the edges. Overall this was a solid Peking duck, but the meat wasn't as standout as I was hoping. 6. STEAMED PORK SOUP DUMPLING (4/5) Solid soup dumplings. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely hit the spot. 7. SAUTEED PEA SPROUTS (4/5) Another solid classic. 8. PORK MEATBALL IN CRAB MEAT SAUCE (4/5) This was the most unique thing we ordered. I've never had a shi zi tou meatball with crab meat sauce before. The meatball itself was large (maybe size of a tennis ball), tender, and fatty, as it should be. It was then drowned in a generous lake of traditional crab meat sauce. If you're not a fan of crab meat then this might be a bit too fishy for you, but honestly it all combined surprisingly well and I grew to like this dish more and more with each bite. I wasn't the biggest fan to start, but by the end I wouldn't have minded getting another one! ------ AMBIANCE / ENVIRONMENT: * The interior has the classic Asian style of decor, but you can tell it was recently built / renovated because everything felt new and fresh. * The ambiance also felt more new-school luxurious vs. the typical Asian establishments that are more no-frills with as many tables packed in as possible * You're still somewhat close to the tables around you, but it's not overwhelming during lunch time and we still felt like we had enough space regardless * There's a bar area at the front of the restaurant and then a large, spacious dining room in the back * This is a great place for a date or a meaningful family gathering * Right outside is Boston Common, making this restaurant very well-located for lunch before or after a nice day in the park. While there's lots of parking around the park, a spot itself can be hard to come by, so your best bet might be to use the nearby parking garage instead ------ SERVICE: * Overall the service was great and quick. They did forget our tea, but when we asked for it later they apologized profusely and were quick to bring it out for us * This place fills up quickly so be sure to come early if you don't have a reservation or if you're a big enough group, make a reservation for your desired dining time

Peking Duck (7/10): Honestly, I never order Peking duck unless I'm with my relatives. It tasted good to me, but pretty comparable to other Peking ducks I've had in the US. I think this is their #1 specialty dish or something, so knowing that, it doesn't really live up to the hype. tl;dr Too expensive for the quality of food you get.

This place is popping! Even though it was later in the evening, the restaurant was still really full. However we didn't have to wait too long to get seated. I loved the decor in here, such neat details and even a column with a dragon on it! So cool. It's a dark restaurant so it was hard to read the menu, but otherwise, it's a very cool vibe here and feels very lounge-y. Our server was awesome, he was friendly and explained the restaurant style to us - it's like tapas, you order a few items to share and recommended 2 - 3 items per person would be sufficient. It was only 2 of us and we shared 3 items total, and that was more than enough. We apparently arrived so late that our server informed us that we only had a short time before the kitchen was closing for the night. But he said that he would return before the kitchen closed in case we wanted to order additional menu items. We were intrigued by the Japanese/Peruvian fusion menu and tried a few things: Kuromitsu Brussel Sprouts Spicy Salmon Fritas Bo Bo Chicken I was most excited about the Bo Bo Chicken a it had a sichuan chili oil and I love spicy, but it was not spicy at all (to me). But the flavor was really good. My favorite was the Brussels sprouts. I loved the char on them and the ginger black honey on it was so good. I don't eat salmon, but my friend said the Salmon Fritas was great and really enjoyed them. I would say this was the best meal we had on our trip!

My only complaint is the little size for the samosa size. For our mains we got the short rib and the white butter chicken. The butter chicken could've used a bit more chicken for the price and was frankly a bit tough. The sauce was great. The short rib was flavorful and packed the perfect punch. Dipping the garlic naan in both sauces was my fav part!! Overall an ok experience. I want to give the restaurant grace because it was very packed but service was poor. I think we had 4 different staff members help us total which probably led to lots of miscommunication.
