EaterJanuary 12, 2012ExNE was named one of the "The Top 6 Places to Taste the New Asian Fusion" by Bon Appetit. In-house noodles, dumplings and bao blow away the competition, of which there is little. [Eater 38 Member]
Marguerite AveryDecember 8, 2012I love what they can do with heritage pork. amazing amazing things. the thick homemade noodles are a treat. And the cocktails are quite good as well. btw Chinese restaurant doesn't quite describe it.
Rue La LaSeptember 5, 2012Small and intimate, this Cambridge spot offers made-from-scratch noodles and dumpling wrappers with a flavorful medley of modern Chinese flavors. Choose anything on the menu - you can't go wrong.
Enrico SJanuary 25, 2015Spectacular menu with unconventional combinations of flavors. Cozy and friendly atmosphere. Portions are on the smaller side.
Bon Appetit MagazineFebruary 24, 2011This hot spot combines Chinese cooking w/ New England ingredients thanks to Chinese-American chef Phillip Tang. What 2 order:braised lamb cannelloni w/ chili garlic sauce, Honeycrisp apple & mizuna.
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014We loved the Grilled Eggplant Spread, Scallion pancake sandwich, Fried rice stuffed crêpe, & the Pork Shaomai!
Gilt CityJune 6, 2011Crispy pork belly on mantou bread? Don’t be intimidated by the menu—everything is delicious. Every noodle is made in house, and all ingredients are sourced from local producers.
Mina E.November 13, 2010The chef is meticulous, tasting everything before it hits the table. Fun to watch from the bar. Try the thick noodles w pork ragout, Jonah crab shumai and the deliciously bitter grapefruit-jasmine coc
Diana MetzgerSeptember 23, 2013So delicious! Do the 5 course tasting menu--so much food. Do whatever your waitress tells you; she's right!
John BarrowFebruary 9, 20148 course tasting menu is the way to go. Try their tequila speciality drink as well.

Joshua BerkMay 18, 2012Smokey delight. The chef is absurdly talented. Not a single bad choice on the menu -- but he's known for the pork belly and confit.
Amélie Patry-MayetteJuly 26, 2014Interesting. $35 for 5 course tasting meal is cheap for what you get, but most dishes were too spicy for me. Tapas portions, don't go there if you feel for a big plate!
Boston.comJuly 27, 2010(Chef Phillip) Tang’s food is carefully crafted, well thought out, with a handmade aesthetic and an artful sensibility. No comparisons necessary. Read more
