This restaurant is incredible. The food is outstanding and the waitstaff is so friendly. They have a base menu and a rotating one and both are superb- I highly recommend getting their burger of the month! The chef brings her dishes out to you too which I thought was very cool.
Just AMAZING! Must stop spot if you live or are visiting Boston. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and the chef is awesome (she personally delivered all the food to our table). I have only live in Boston a little under a year but this place hands down had the best food so far. Highly recommend the buttermilk wings and the Ron Swanson inspired quesadillas. Two of my faves. We will definitely be back.
My wife and I went for date night to try something new. It took one meal for us to make this a monthly visit. The food is nothing short of amazing, and the peeps they got there are just as inviting. Chef Asia Mei suggested we come for brunch next time, and she screwed us. Now we don’t know if we come for Brunch or Dinner. Such a wonderful problem to have!
I really wanted to like this place more but the food just wasn’t anything crazy special. We liked the crab Rangoons, they were spicy and way different than a classic crab Rangoon but really good. The kale Caesar was also really good - pomegranate seeds were a surprisingly good addition to this. The crispy rice was kind of a let down, and just bland in general. Both the curry cauliflower tacos and shishito peppers were fine, but both had too much sweetness for us. Service was great and attentive. The vibes here are like an laid back, upscale, nighttime diner? It was a good atmosphere, but the food could have been a lot better for the price point.
Excellent neighborhood style restaurant. Unique and creative food selection with a nice atmosphere. Pleasantly surprised that the playlist included 80s and 90s which is not typical in South Boston! Beer selection very good and very well priced. Chef Asia Mei personally delivered a course of food herself and came back a second time to make sure everything was satisfactory. Not only is she a culinary artist, all the original art on the walls of the restaurant is created by her as well! We travel regularly into Boston as foodies and we will definitely return! Kudos.
Great place to enjoy food and drinks in an understated and low-key vibe. Recently took a visit for dinner on a Friday night. Their menu featured an eclectic mix of Asian fusion and American bar food classics with interesting twists. The most interesting item from the appetizers was the caramelized onion-roasted beet dip: the combination of thin and salty crisps with sweet and savory beet dip was very satisfying. On the other hand, spicy lamb meatballs, jalapeno crab rangoons, and bacon wrapped stuffing bites were good but plain. Advertised as the "Boston's best fried chicken," their buttermilk fried chicken wings were fantastic. While they didn't have any unique seasonings, the wings were extremely tender. Craving for more, we also ordered the chicken and waffles and loved the waffles as well. Mama Mei’s famous dirty fried rice was another one of our favorites, and it was interesting to see that Chef Mei herself delivered this to our table. The only item we found plain from the entrées were their daily special fish & chips as the excess moisture on the inside ruined the overall texture of the cod. The food here was certainly beyond what we expected, and the service was also amazing throughout the evening. Would definitely come back for their wings.
Hands down, the owner makes this place, she ran the food out to many tables herself and there's some really creative dishes on the menu that we'd love to return to try! The burgers (both the beef and veggie) were stellar and delicious, and the watermelon salad was refreshing and unique! Our only real critique was about the waitress we had tonight (08/30/2023, didn't catch her name but she was blonde) wasn't super friendly, didn't crack a single smile, or even look us in the eyes, she didn't go over the specials at all and honestly seemed more interested in getting our orders in so she could go back to cleaning tables which normally I don't think I would have commented on except that her vibe really didn't match Chef Asia, who seems so proud and content to be running plates and chatting up customers while sharing her food with everyone -the contrast between them was so different that at times it was hard to believe we were in the same place. Anyways, we'll be back soon but hopefully we get a different server next time!
LEGIT some of the most tastiest food here in Boston. I only made a dent in their menu with ordering these items, tots, rangoon's, cauliflower tacos, chicken wings, and chicken and waffles. Oh, and can't forget the desserts, butterscotch pudding and Oreo brownie. Service was spot on! Jessyca was an amazing server; she was very attentive and super nice. I have much respect for Chef Asia as she was serving food alongside her team and working the kitchen. I can't wait to go back and indulge in other menu items.
