    What stands out as spectacular is the decor and ambiance - you feel transported to another time and place, which is so fun! The hostess is unnecessarily rude and curt - a poor first impression, and servers are not well-versed on the menu and allergens. The menu misidentified items for gluten, vegetarian, vegan, etc. so please double check before ordering. They have taken off many of their popular items from the menu. And also their mocktails. We had made this reservation assuming we had more options, only to find out once we got there that they now have a very limited menu. Nonetheless, the food was really good. The flavors were amazing and every last taste bud on my tongue left quite satisfied.

    Frank helped us out on our first visit. He's the mug wizard. Since then, numerous employees have helped us. All friendly and welcoming. This is the best tiki bar in Boston/Cambridge area. Probably in the state if I think about it. Legit cocktails. Very, very good food. Veg options. Creative and affordable mugs. An adjacent parking structure (the only one in Harvard Square). The place is unicorn material. I've been here maybe four times over several years. Shame on me for finishing this cumulative review now. The good news is every visit was solid. I've been here as a small and also large party. Sat at both the bar and table. Had reservations and also walked in. Visited in the summer and also winter. Weekends are tough to get in without a resy. It's tiny. And its Cambridge. Weekdays you'll be fine but reserve anyway. It's free. From bar to tables to booths, you're covered with seating. Can they serve a table for ten? Maybe but I wouldn't be that person. Check ahead of time. Drinks are strong. Sometimes sweet but mostly balanced. Food is yummy. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked on the menu. Serving dishes and bowls are fun too: skulls/shells/etc. Enjoy this hidden secret. And don't steal the mugs. Buy them--they're so reasonable.

    So fun and festive! Fast service. Delicious food, drinks and vibes. Perfect for a girls night out or date night. The decor is so fun!

    We came to wusong road on a trip up to Boston after getting the recommendation from a friend who comes here every time they visit. Funny enough when we visited my friend was also in town that weekend and by happenstance we happened to get to the restaurant at the same time. I would definitely make reservations because I did not realize you would need a reservation for a Wednesday night, but we did. Luckily we were able to give our name and they had a cancellation and were able to be seated within 20 to 30 minutes. The upstairs is pretty cool. I really like the decor. One of my favorites was these monkey lamps they had. The food was pretty good and we had gotten a slider for my son which basically filled him up. My wife and I split a poo poo platter and got an appetizer and that was enough for us. The drinks were really good. We had gotten a few to try. I like my first one and really enjoyed my second one. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she made one and then when we went for our second round she did say she was new to the job so I went with something I knew I would like. They also sell some of their mugs which is a cool bonus. If your into tiki drinks definitely pick up a wusong road branded mug when you stop by. We got two.

    We have hit the motherlode! Wusong is the shiznit and has yet to disappoint in any way (other than the distance from my home). Really well done tropical and tiki vibe, creative rotating drinks menu, and so much work clearly goes into the food offerings. It can be busy, even late on a Sunday night, so be prepared or make reservations. Go here. Often. Love ya, Wusong!

    Pu pu platter for two & ma la tater tots
    Emily T.

    A little pricey, but in my opinion, very much worth it! My friend and I went here for dinner the other day. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I got the mango sticky rice cocktail, which was served in an ADORABLE mug. The cocktail was strong ($15) but sweet like juice, a dangerous combination. I loved it and had to force myself to savor it with slow sips instead of guzzling it. We shared the pu pu platter for two, which was a bit expensive at 50-something dollars but came with a LOT of food. Plenty for two people and maybe even enough for four. The platter came with a variety of delicious things. There were chicken skewers and beef skewers, and both were cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the beef was a great medium rare. There were also scallion cheese quesadillas (yum!), crab Rangoons, and fried fish. The only thing I didn't really like was the vegan egg roll. I could really tell it was vegan, and the veggie filling was too salty for my taste-buds. We also ordered the ma la tater tots. I was skeptical about ordering tater tots at an Asian restaurant, but they were fantastic! Crispy perfection and well-seasoned with a light spice. In addition to delicious food, the restaurant offered great vibes with whimsical decor, friendly staff, and a cute menu inspired by Where the Wild Things Are.

    Crab rangoons
    Jackie V.

    We live a good tiki, and as soon as we walked in to this gem we knew it would be a hit. The kitsch, the wide variety of mugs for sale Abe the ambiance were spot on. We sat at the bar do we could enjoy interacting with the friendly bartender and fellow guests. We ordered the Flight Risk and the Zombie which were flavorful and nicely presented. The flight risk was good but did have a fairly strong curry flavor so I probably wouldn't order it again. I did wish they had a few more options for not too sweet drinks on the menu but did like that they rated the strength and sweetness. For dinner we shared the satay which came with a tasty and unique sunflower seed sauce, the cauliflower and the rangoons. The rangoons were tasty but could have been warmer- they deliver the meals on carts so it could be that they were sitting on it for a while for dessert we had a Mai Tai! Overall, we loved the experience and can't wait to come back.

    I can only speak to the cocktails, as I didn't order any food (though I would love to try it soon as I've heard great things). Every drink my friend and I ordered were incredible! Creative flavors and the most adorable presentation you could ask for. Their glassware is so fun and makes the experience really unique compared to other cocktail bars. The atmosphere is pretty cool as well. It has a dark & tropical vibe that's great for a fun date night or just hanging out with friends. Staff is wonderful as well!

    The whole experience was amazing. We sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks each. Every tiki cocktail we ordered was fantastic and we had the pupu platter. Generally pupu platters are average but a good way to get a taste of all the apps. When we tried Wusong's pupu platter, it was amazing! Some of the best Chinese flavors I've ever had. We sat at the bar and watching the bartender Brian work was definitely an experience and entertainment all by itself. We can't wait to go back!

    Dole whip and mango sticky rice colada
    Kai M.

    I've been trying to come here for the longest time! It always seems to be packed or have no availability. I came with some friends on a Tuesday evening at 8:30pm because that's when we could get a reservation! They have an extensive drink list with plenty of non-alcoholic adjustments. I got the dole-whip inspired nonalcoholic and my friend got the mango sticky rice colada, which was very tasty and really did taste like mango sticky rice. The food was overall great and reasonably priced! We shared everything. The coconut spareribs were a good mix of sweet and savory and were also very tender. The tom yum wings were slightly off in their flavor to me, but still good. The scallion pancake quesadilla was fun, albeit a bit simple. We also got the beef sambal ijo noodles which were pretty large and filling. I would love to come back! The atmosphere is fun, the food and drink menus have a ton of variety, and this is a LGBTQ+/AAPI owned business!!

    This was my first time dining at Wusong's and the experience was wonderful. Our server Brianna was so kind and provided the best service I have had in the city. The vibes of this place are adorable. I love the cups they serve the water and the overhead lights. Overall sets the mood. When it comes to the drinks and food I highly recommend the Mango Sticky Rice Colada! It is on the sweeter side but if they offer the rum float ( take it ). As for the food! The highlight was the cauliflower and the spareribs. ( 10/10). The summer rolls were alright but the rest of the food and drinks were perfect.

    Our very first dinner in Boston was such a memorable experience! My friends and I were looking for a good spot, and we ended up in a restaurant that instantly made us feel like we were on vacation in Hawaii or the Bahamas. The vibe was tropical and fun, with a spacious layout that had both a first and second floor. We chose to sit upstairs, which gave us a nice view of the lively atmosphere. The restaurant was not only big but also had a little shop area where they sold mugs, tumblers, and other fun items, it added to the charm. Of course, the real highlight was the food. We tried Wusong Pupu Platter, Sweet Chili Brussels, Chicken Satay, and the non alcoholic cocktails are painkiller, mango pina colada, and saturn, it did not disappoint. The flavors were fresh, delicious, and so worth it. What made the evening even better was the overall energy, everyone was excited, happy, and enjoying themselves. Thank you so much the server even if I don't remember her name. She is the one who gave the good deal for the appetizer and drinks! It wasn't just about eating, it felt like part of the Boston experience. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting the city. It's not just dinner, it's a destination.

A…read morenumber of other reviewers have commented that "things have changed", and I, unfortunately, agree. Visited on a Saturday evening - the place should be packed, but it wasn't. I easily secured a same day bar seat reservation for 8PM. After checking in, was seated at a half empty downstairs bar. No physical menus, everything was done via a QR which is fine I guess, but for a spot that positions itself as a premiere bar a bit tacky. The online menu on the public website is the only menu and where the QR takes you. I asked for a spirits list (logical for a cocktail forward bar), I got a quizzical look and a shrug of the shoulders in return. Given the menu was only 8 cocktails, picking from those I started with the Beachcomber Mai Tai for a whopping $18. This, if it's the true spec, should be a rum forward cocktail with 2 1/2 oz of rum. They batch their cocktails (not a problem) so I couldn't see their build, but there is absolutely no way this drink is made to specification - my guess is they are skimping on rum as a cost play, batching lets them get away with it. Drink was, frankly, pretty forgettable - not bad, just unremarkable. Wanting to see how they could do off-menu, I asked the bartender to make me a Hemingway Daiquiri. Now, for a cocktail bar that has a long history of rum centric and tiki leaning cocktails, this should be an off the top of their head cocktail. It's simple - white rum, lime and grapefruit juice, and maraschino liqueur. Bartender had never heard of it before, and then spent a few minutes staring in to his phone presumably looking up the recipe. He built it using Rhum JM white rum which is absolutely the wrong rum for this drink - it needs a white Cuban rum (which we know we can't get in the U.S.), so the usual sub would be Bacardi, Planteray 3 stars, Probitas, or others. Definitely not a Martinique agricole. This may be a too detailed nit for some, but with the framing that this is supposed to be a premium cocktail bar, this is an error that should not happen, and not for $18. Figuring the third time might be a charm, ordered the Trader Vic 1944 Mai Tai. This is the classic, the standard against which all others are measured. It's a distinct recipe, especially if you call yours the 1944 Mai Tai. This was not that. It was again light on rum with probably the wrong rums used in their blend. It was also substantially over dosed with orgeat making the almond sweetness an almost overpowering flavor versus playing a subtle supporting actor role. Again, swing and a miss. Drinkable if you like sweet, and don't mind hefty almond. But if you want to try the real Mai Tai - this is not it. Overall, for the price, fairly indifferent bar service, lack of information available to the customer (e.g., spirits list, etc.), and fairly off the mark cocktails I think you can find far better spots right now for that same money. If you definitely want that tiki inspired cocktail vibe - your better bet will be places like Wusong Road in Cambridge or Shore Leave in Boston, and I'm sure there are others. Sorry Baldwin Bar, you've lost your edge and it shows.
