Petit Robert Bistro Columbus Avenue

Reviewed By geomom01

Petit Robert Bistro is a nice change from Boston's seafood or Italian food. The place is charming and I loved that they had white table cloths on every table. The entry is to the left side and you come into a lounge/bar space. They are on opentable so it is easy to make a reservation, though I am not sure it was needed the night we were there which was a Monday. I started with the French Onion Soup and really enjoyed it. My husband had sole and enjoyed it. I had duck which was cooked to the correct temp and tender, however it was served with a cabbage bacon dish that did not pair well and ruined the dish. I liked the place enough that I will go back and order something more mainstream.

Santouka Ramen

Reviewed By alexvelo

Came here for our son's birthday. The modern reservation system required your cell number - which allowed us to roam around the neighborhood a bit. We dined in a large seating area. The ramen bowl was tasty, loved the soft-boiled egg and the fried dumplings (gyoza) were excellent. Service was attentive and friendly.

Douzo

Reviewed By JonRadoff

This is an excellent sushi restaurant that’s walking distance from the Copley Square area. There’s parking next door which is convenient to use. I recommend focusing on the specials that are frequently available here; this offers the most unique preparations and freshest fish. In particular, don’t miss it if they have the Japanese uni on the menu! One of my favorites. The agedashi tofu (always available) is also an appetizer not to be missed.

Ganko Ittetsu Ramen

Reviewed By tcandcc2016

Tried this small, kind of hidden, gem just this past weekend. We had a 40 minute wait mid Saturday afternoon. Plenty of area to wait. And this line tells you everything: the food was over the top fantastic. And the way they handle the crowd is great. Before your table is open, they take your order, so when you do get seated, your food is delivered VERY quickly. How can a dish like Ramen be made this special? All about the base broth and fresh ingredients. The base of chicken/pork broth (I tried the soy sauce version) was truly great. And every other element was fresh and tasty. My daughter tried the TAN TAN. Sesame oil was a bit overwhelming for me, but she loved it. Absolutely worth a try. Interesting beer choices too!

Thelonious Monkfish

Reviewed By Navybluetravel

This is an average place with very average bland Asian food. I am so surprised that the food is rated so highly on trip advisor. We ordered two different fried rice-based dishes. I turns out both use the same fried rice batch which gets mixed with the protein you order. One of the dishes was sea food fried rice and there was a piece of meat in it, perhaps left from another mix-in. The sashimi dish looked as if the pieces of raw fish have been sitting and waiting to be served for quite some time. The taste of the food is “pan-Asian”, really hard to trace to any country on the continent. And the food is pricey.Hi there, we are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience. We work very hard to ensure that our guests are satisfied with their experience(s) with us. Thank you for your feedback and if you choose not to return we wish you the very best of luck in your future dining ventures!

I really like this restaurant, in college I was turned onto this restaurant because it has a location in the Fenway. Been a staple ever since. The pineapple fried rice and a thai iced tea are not to be missed!

I really enjoyed this place for lunch. Was very busy on a weekday with students and people who looked like locals. I had only basic Thai fried rice with chicken but it was delicious and no excess sauce. It was a very large portion for lunch. Will go again when I am back in Boston.

Arrived at 9:15 for our reservation and were greeted with an epic fusion of creativity, skill, execution and american asian influences mashed up into one. If you go, you need to get the corn on the cob (I know it sounds boring and the description doesn't jump out compared to other more eye catching options but trust me on this) and the pork belly spring roll without hesitation. We also really enjoyed the brussel sprouts which had a definitively asian inspired ginger/wasabi thing going on that really made them pop. We also sampled the cheeseburger rol just to see how they could possibly make a cheeseburger flavored roll gourmet. I'd say the least impactful of all the dishes but it was still quite excellent and would hold up well with anything we have in Omaha where we're from. 10/10 would go back. Great staff and atmosphere as well. Bathrooms secret MVP as they are across from some real badass looking lion door knockers in the hotel side. Not necessarily relevant to the restaurant...but very cool.Hello! Thank you for your kind words, we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience at UNI and hope to welcome you back again soon,The UNI Team

Reviewed By hermans993

The sashimi was extremely good and a nice variety of sushi. The egg plant sushi was very special. Special compliments for the soup served in a little tea pot. The quantities of the sushi combinations were really good, hard to understand why people complained about that. A very nice ambiance with little boots and excellent service. Prices matched the quality and also wines were reasonably priced considering Boston standards.
