Shannon H: Literally you can order anything off the menu and it will be fantastic. All the donburis (yaki and tatsuta don) and the curries, especially the katsu curry is the best I've ever tried.
Jeremy Krantz: Excellent katsu and hamburg sets here! The grated, pickled daikon on there is a nice touch. Food is delish!
Louis Ivan: After eating their Yaki Don, you can die happy...

Ajit Verghese: get the tomato basil soup bowl off menu. really good & has Indian flair: strangly tastes like butter chix / tikka masala - it's great
Laura: It's not on the menu, but your server can bring caramel sauce, ranch dressing and/or chocolate sauce for your sweet potato fries. Enjoy with a local brew. Happy dipping!
Rob Sheppard: If you're not sure what to go for, go with the 'Staff Pick'. Four 5oz beer samplers. Tasty!
Terence Michale: Off the menu Malaysian items is a must! Spicy Grilled Sting Ray, Kangkung belacan, red curry! You can request halal chicken for some items. Ask the owner.
Dorothy T.: Absolutely get a plate of the Peking ravioli! And the Peking duck. Yum!
Adam Hertz: Try the Pea Tendrils, they're awesome!

Burrito Restaurant · Porter Square · 46 tips and reviews
Terrence Beach: Ask for a super quesadilla. It's not in the menu, but they will make one for you!
Nell Lawson: I like to make my Anna's burrito healthy: no rice, black beans, extra lettuce, half carnitas - half vegetables, cheese, green salsa. So good.
BostonTweet: $6 (or less) for a massive burrito that will hold you over for 6 hours (or more) – pound for pound one of the best deals in Boston, all day, every day!
Rob Atkinson: Great beer list and food. Ask about the off menu burger!
Lauren Christopher: The seafood is amazing! Order the swordfish if it's in season. They also had an excellent drinks menu. I had a smoky scotch there that changed my world.
Thrillist: Your Hangover aid: The Quickening. A Collins glass filled w/ Meletti Amaro, chartreuse green, & Rogue Dead Guy Ale, before being chased by a shot of Fernet & a plate of bacon (yes, PLATE...OF...BACON) Read more.
Jake Smith: Nachos are delicious, but request the off the menu Pico de Gallo; it is freshly chopped.
Christina Varrasso: Hot chips, salsa, guacamole, tacos, steaks ... everything is good!
Stephen Hau: Eat at the bar. Always great conversation.

Coffee Shop · Neighborhood Nine · 68 tips and reviews
NYC Traveller: Although it is not on the menu, their cappuccino with cream aka Caffè breve is great! Ask for it.
Lauren Christopher: Best capuchinnos in Cambridge! Also, amazing sandwiches and pastries. Get there early for the cheese danish! They run out fast! Also, they have a year round pumpkin spice lattes!!
Tristan: They really love making (and talking about) coffee. It comes through in their espresso, which is hands-down the best in the entire Boston area.
Thrillist: If you're nursing a hangover, order the off the menu Tijuana Alarm Clock, a Secret Recovery Cocktail w/ blanco tequila, orange juice, eggs (and some other stuff). Read more.
Irina: Favourite local bar with great music, friendly bartenders, good food & cocktails (they are all seriously tasty)! Def try crispy sweet potato chips👌🏻
