"Okay so I used to love this place before the incident. Decided to come back once I heard they reopened with a new menu- pizza!! Kind of disappointed because I enjoyed the ramen, there’s 20 better pizza places in town. Oh well wanted to revisit my old spot and ordered their pizza with the potato and bacon on it. This was the most ANNOYING pizza I’ve ever had in my life. NONE of the toppings stayed on the pizza every bite I took. I am genuinely so curious how it was made, like how were none of the toppings bonded? The potatoes honestly tasted raw, like they added everything after cooking just the crust. There was sprinkles of cheese, not nearly enough. Impossible to dunk in the only dipping sauce they offer- ranch. I came prepared and brought my own bottle just in case, I was very positively surprised that ranch was even offered but I didn’t get it with my pizza when I had initially asked."

"Wish I could leave 0 stars but google doesn’t allow it. By far the worst food I’ve had in Massachusetts; I couldn’t even eat the appetizer or meal I ordered. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, over rice. Not only was the chicken cold, the teriyaki sauce was so salty that it was inedible. The mushrooms were also too salty to eat, and the pickled onions tasted funky. The chicken satay was room temperature at best; I was too afraid to even taste it because I knew it was not prepared correctly. My partner ordered the ahi tuna bowl. The tuna chunks were large and clunky, but its subpar taste was the only edible thing of the evening. The ginger ale I ordered was so flat, I thought I was drinking a flavored water. And the beer, I can’t even describe the taste. Completely disappointed. Additionally, the server was not exactly friendly. Didn’t see any other black people, or people of color. Lighting was too dark, and the place looked dank."

"Great spot. Reminds me of the popular New Haven and Philly bars of my youth. Well decorated without pretension, nice size bar, impressive menu considering the size of the kitchen, well curated beer and booze offerings, Kierstan is a boss behind the bar, knowledgeable & no-nonsense. I'll definitely make the trip from South County more often."

"I love this place. Great boardgame selection, great atmosphere, incredibly relaxed and friendly. Indie music playing gently in the background, sometimes there's a live band or karaoke. The food is GREAT with a variety of interpretations of ramen. They also have a lot of great craft beers on tap. Every time I have gone it's been a great experience, check it out!"
