Even though Lorena had a bad meal at this Boston’s Newbury Street restaurant, she dragged me to it to show me the interesting decor. I have to confess that the interior is definitely unique but the food is a disappointment. Like anyone else, despite my extreme caution about what I put into my mouth, I do not mind Chinese food from time to time, even though it is almost always greasy.
I ordered lo-mein noodles and they had just 10% or so vegetables. After consuming noodles while living in Japan and during my visits to other East Asian countries and restaurants, my understanding is that any noodle dish should have just 50% noodles. So if you are on a low-carb diet, this dish is a disaster. Lorena ordered Buddha’s delight and it tasted awful. I think we have all picked up much better food at Chinese takeouts at one third the price.
So if you are looking for East Asian food in the area, I recommend Mentei at 66 Hereford Street (between Boylston and Newbury) or any of the Wagamama or PF Chang locations in the area.
Definitely not recommended. I also could not figure out why does it have the word Mumbai, which is a city in India, really far from China. In other words, if the restaurant couldn’t get its coordinates right, how could it get its food right.
