THIS WAS THE NEW ENGLAND CHINESE FOOD WE HAVE BEEN YEARNING FOR! My in laws used to live in MA and haven’t been able to find the same taste anywhere! I’m from Miami and I’ve never had anything like it – the Crab Rangoon, AMAZING Chicken FINGERS covered in duck sauce (completely different from the tenders I know) and Jen the bartender made these to die for scorpion bowls.
Then once you’re liquored up- they hired a HOST to help with KARAOKE we sung Pokemon and lived our best life. 10/10 recommend – more people need to go here!!! I’m just sorry we inhaled the food and didn’t get to take photos!!!

I brought a couple of buddies from out of town into Boston and took them bar hopping, hoping to end the night here! Instead we were turned away at the door for apparently being too intoxicated despite the light, rational conversation I just had with security.
I’m not sure what kind of power trip this guy was on, but we just went next door to the Wild Rover, which also does karaoke AND has HUGE $1 drafts. The staff at this place were going around and giving out VIP cards to bypass the cover for groups of 6 for LIFE. Seems like a much stronger business model to me.
I guess that’s why some people say things happen for a reason, because had this guy not turned us away, the night just might have been ruined by the longest waits for bar service I have experienced, and their very small, unclean bathrooms.

We were in town for business and found this GEM of a place literally a 2 min walk from our hotel. We went on a Tuesday night for Karaoke and some noodles. We had a wonderful time. The local crowd was amazing and loved singing along during karaoke supporting each singer. The bar staff was attentive and drinks were wonderful! Only critique is a minor one…they need to get a second microphone for duets.

Walked in with full birthday gear on, ready to start our party night, but nobody greeted us, we sat at a table but nothing happened. Then my friend went to ask about karaoke, he said it’s right over there there’s just no singers (saw no evidence of that). So after a few minutes we left and went next door where the service was phenomenal and friendly.

Good vibes for karaoke nights with pretty good Chinese food. Had been coming here sporadically from Providence and the last time my friends and I showed up we were denied entry due to an ID situation. All of us had our ID’s…so we were confused. The crowd that goes there are primarily white people, we are black. I never had any issue with entry up until that moment. Not sure what their deal is but they’re making entry tighter than fort knocks and this isn’t even an upscale restaurant. We were all well over the age of 21 so that couldn’t have been it either. If you are black and want to enjoy this place just make sure you have the proper identification and prepare to get told no.

Not accepting an Irish passport card or driving license as ID is diabolical. Don’t waste your time and go next door to the wild rover instead when you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome..

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! We went to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and the waiters were extremely rude, throwing our beers at us and asking for a bigger tip, even though we had already left a 20% tip. Also, the people around keep shushing us and screaming at us. NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN.
Save yourself a bad experience and DO NOT GO!

Good spot to hang out, very crowded but chill vibe. Went for karaoke, only got to do one song but had fun singing along to other’s songs too.

This a must visit when in Boston. It offers drinks, food, and karaoke. Diverse crowd- from College students to out of town tourist. The menu offerings are short, but the teriyaki girl walks around offering chicken on a stick for $1. DELICIOUS! Try the house fried rice- flavorful, plenty of protein and a portion sufficient to feed two. I’ve rated it a 4 star only because there is limited seating. A hiding in Boston’s Faneuil Hall. Enjoy!

We came as a team after work, excited for karaoke. Others in our group had already entered and started ordering. I was asked for ID at the door; I presented an official digital ID, then, a couple of minutes later, my passport. Despite that, I was told to leave. I’m well over the legal drinking age, so this felt confusing and unnecessarily hostile. Policies are your right, but clarity and tone matter. Please post clear “physical ID only” signs and train staff to apply rules calmly and consistently. As an international visitor, the experience felt unwelcoming, which is a shame because we were ready to spend the evening here.
