“We have been going here since 2003 and it’s always amazing! Thank you for the welcome drink, the complimentary sushi bar as a thank you for our order, and the complimentary dessert! We love the calamari, pot stickers, long beans, and crab Rangoon for appetizers. All the entrees are-“/9 amazing - our favorites include Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, honey Walnut shrimp, pork belly fried rice and beef chow fun. Service is very attentive and nice! Nice vibe in the dining room.”
“This place is such a gem!!! We’ve been fans for years now, but they’ve really stepped up their game lately. We got a little welcome drink and dessert on the house, and some (surprising!) sushi for happy hour.”
“We made reservations for 7 people for my wife's birthday (although we didn't tell them it was a birthday). They started us with small complimentary drinks of homemade limoncello. They filled the glasses with lemon scented smoke bubbles (see pic). They also had a deal that if everyone ordered an entree, and we ordered two appetizers, we'd get free sushi. Finally, they gave us a free dessert (I think it was ice cream in some kind of choux pastry with chocolate and raspberry syrup). Everything I had was excellent (angry beans app, korean beef entree, free dessert, limoncello, and sushi). Decor and atmosphere were on point. Everything was clean and professional. Not very busy for a Friday evening, which is a bit sad, but good for those who go. We will definitely go back, especially for their happy hour: Order two drinks, get free sushi. Yes, please!”
“I came here solo on Mother's Day. The staff was friendly and attentive. They offered a free sushi station while diners waited for orders to be cooked. It tasted very fresh. I had green tea, hot and sour soup and longevity noodles. They were nice to give me rice noodles for a gluten sensitivity. The decor was not modern, but it was cozy and well maintained. A very pleasant experience.”
“I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is. The food delicious. Atmosphere beautiful. The customer service above and beyond. Anthony and Anastasia took care of our table and the entire night they were so kind, supportive, welcoming and just pure joy to have them as servers. They went above and beyond including taking our store bought cake and turning it into a gourmet plating. You NEED to come out and enjoy a delicious night out.”
“I used to order takeout from friendship pretty regularly when I worked in Logan in the early tens. Delighted to see it’s as good as ever - and being this was actually the first time I’ve dined in, it was delightful to experience how great the service is, and how hard they work to make the meal an experience, ie by bringing us lovely moistened towelettes, and complimentary limoncello cream cocktail samples with dry ice.”
“Simply the best food, drinks and service! The flavors and spices keep bringing me back. Compliments to the chef!”
“First time dining in and this place is just absolutely exquisite! The crab ragoon was delectable & creamy. The Korean steak was full of flavor with melt in your mouth steak. The Singapore noodle was amazing with my add ons of jalapeños & green peppers with no problem! They greeted us with a complimentary drink & said farewell with a complimentary dessert! I think the best part besides the food and amazing atmosphere was the happiness and smiles on the workers faces. No one looks miserable being there like I can tell their take pride in their job and smiles never left their faces. Customer service went a long way here. Can’t wait to come back!!”
“Great food, easy ordering online and sharp looking restaurant.”
“Hands down the best egg rolls and pot stickers I've ever ate in my entire life! The short rib chow mein was perfect in every possible way! The orange chicken with just enough heat also perfect in every possible way!!”
“We’ve been coming here for the past 5 years. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. Ever since we tried their orange chicken, we do not eat it anywhere else. When you’re in the mood for Chinese cuisine this place is a MUST. The atmosphere is very calm and clean.”
