Was in the area for a business meeting, so I stopped here for lunch. Decided to sit in and eat. Very frustrating experience, as I sat there for countless minutes and watched my server take a phone call after phone call for takeout, and literally ignore me. Finally I got up and went to the counter after 10 minutes of this.... and asked if I could order.... I was watching the news on the one TV, and the server who was well inked up, abruptly changed the channel to "INK Master".... which I'm sure no other patron wanted to watch. Rude, selfish, and didn't even ask the patrons if they minded. The poor customer service experience, along with a lunch special that was predominantly rice, was not a great experience. My advice to anyone is get takeout here if you feel the need to get some average Chinese food- skip eating in at lunch....otherwise find another place all together

Went to this restaurant and returned two nights later to enjoy the fresh fish for a second time. The manager recognized me and even what i ordered two nights ago. The chef asked if i was open to a recommendation and who knows better than the chef, I took his recommendation after he asked what i liked ne whipped a delicious roll. It was so good i asked for him to recommend another. After two rolls and a complimentary appetizer i was done, fat & happy.

I visited Tang Dynasty for the first time last week and was really impressed with the food/buffet. Everything was very fresh and tasty. I especially enjoyed their rice, which was light and fluffy. Sometimes you can get that gross kind of crispy thing going on that will totally wreck it for me. Not so here. And not a bean sprout in sight. I was surprised by the amount of selections on the buffet. Pretty good in my opinion. They had tempura which was really good. I prefer the lighter batter as opposed to the panko that many places are doing now. They did it just right...not too battery when you bite into it. Cooked perfectly. Crab rangoons, shomai, boneless ribs, a couple of beef dishes. Pretty standard, but good. Plus, the people are incredibly friendly. I was checking out the sushi selection and both the sushi chef and the lady at the front came over and took the time to explain what each item was. I thought that was really cool. And the buffet only costs about $8. A wicked good deal. The only downside from our visit was the miso soup. While not bad it was also not really that great. I found it to be very bland. It really just tasted like water. Overall it was very good and definitely worth a return visit.

It's a fantastic restaurant off of Route 2. Worth the short detour.
Reviewed By ChrisLehrer
We periodically find ourselves driving east on Route 2 around dinnertime, and because of scheduling we're usually somewhere around Fitchburg. We've tried a few things, some awful, some mediocre. This time, we decided to plan ahead, and to our surprise, we saw a pretty well-reviewed Korean restaurant called Arisu. OK, we'll try it.We arrive on a freezing cold night, Christmas Eve, in fact. My wife, me, and my two kids aged 11 and 9. The place is less than 5 minutes from Exit 12 on Route 2, has a little parking lot, so all good there.We look at the menu and what do you know? This is NOT the usual Boston-area Korean joint. Those places are all alike: they've got a big list of weird pseudo-sushi maki rolls or they do grill-at-the-table shaved beef; then there's five or six other things on the menu, usually bibim bap, some kind of jigae, and the ubiquitous sweet-spicy octopus. Arisu isn't like this.Arisu is a full-bore homestyle Korean restaurant. No fake sushi, for one thing. A whole section devoted to hot pots, and another to soup-stews (jigae, for instance). We were amazed and thrilled.Mom had stone bowl bibim bap, which is what she always has. It was a healthy portion of rice sizzling away, with a huge amount of different toppings.I had soondobu jigae (soft tofu stew with pork and kimchi). It was gorgeous: the kimchi had been gently rinsed of its funkiness, so that its flavor stood out clean and clear. This is some of the best soondobu jigae I've had outside Asia.My son went for the Japanese/Korean kids' fave, omelet rice: fried rice with a plain egg omelet on top, drizzled with ketchup. The thing was colossal, easily the size of my upper arm. My son got this dreamy look on his face -- he hasn't eaten real omu-raisu since we left Japan -- and just started plowing along.My daughter doesn't tolerate spicy very well, and we were about to suggest tonkatsu or something, when my wife spotted duk mandu-guk. This is a Korean classic traditionally eaten especially at the New Year. It's a clear soup with cabbage, wakame, and nori (I don't know the Korean terms for these seaweeds), and most importantly, with clear noodles, pork dumplings (basically potstickers/gyoza cooked in water), and sliced Korean-style mochi rice cakes. My daughter likes everything I just listed, so we ordered it. Her reaction? "This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten." (Okay, she means it's the most delicious thing she's had in weeks to months.) And, "You HAVE to learn how to make this and make it OFTEN!"Not only was the food good, but the staff were cheerful and friendly. They clearly liked kids on general principles, and were delighted by the little blonde girl chowing down duk mandu-guk.Prices were excellent: the omu-raisu was $10.95, the dolsot bibim bap $12.95. No booze, so you don't blow your money there. I gave a very generous tip -- they were nice, we loved the place, and it's Christmas Eve, right? -- and we walked out of there for less than I'd have spent at almost any restaurant in Brookline, Boston, or Newton.If you are in the Fitchburg area and like real Korean food, you're in for a treat.

I am experimenting with eating non gluten free over the past few months, and decided to check out Thai Jasmine. We tried the Curry Puffs, an appetizer, very different, worth trying. It is very much like a Maltese Pastizzi. It has potato, peas and curry, in a flaky pastry covering. I would recommend this 100%. I ate a Fishermans mix, wife had a dish with beef and vegs. They have a larger Pho menu than "The Taste of Vietnam". Next time I may try the seafood Pho.

Finally ate here and was not disappointed! We all had the âExclusive Dinnersâ which includes soup (or wine), salad, vegetables, pasta, main meal and dessert. Really enjoyed the food. Selected the antipasto salad which though small, was very tasty with cold cuts, cheese, lettuce and tuna. The house salad was also good with choice of dressing. I had the broccoli for vegetables and though cooked well, could have been more seasoned. The chicken piccata was perfect with a lovely cream sauce. The dessert of honey strips was quite flavorful with powdered sugar and honey over lasagna noodles that had been fried..yum! Should be noted that most of the pasta is made on site. The other main meals we had: scallops, veal parmigiana and chicken parmigiana were equally delicious! Our server Laurel was superb!This is a good restaurant with great food. The decor is very simple and the room was a bit loud (as it was a crowded Saturday night), but it was a great meal nonetheless.tcooked well, could have had more seasoning.

I tried out Taste of Vietnam with a friend for lunch. My first time eating Vietnamese food. It was quite tasty. I got the lunch special with chicken and spicy basil sauce. It was great. I especially liked the Vietnamese egg roll - crispy and chewy in all the right places. Also got the hot espresso with condensed milk. It was good and rich - almost tasted like a mocha. I would go back.
