Masao's Kitchen

"This is the absolute best vegetarian restaurant in Boston (and no joke on the planet). Super healthy and really really good. It’s not salads. It’s all really well prepared veg dishes. Highly recommend this gem !!"

"My friends and I visited on a whim on our way to pick pumpkins, and we can't help but overwhelmingly recommend it. From my understanding it's mainly - if not only - run by Masao himself, and we agree he's doing a lovely job. The atmosphere itself was very cozy and welcoming, and I definitely suggest dining in if you'd enjoy a space to take it slow and savor the peace. Can't stress enough that the food is good!! I was very happy to find nearly everything on today's menu was gluten free as one person in our party can't have any, and it was all very fall-oriented flavors. I especially liked the BBQ tofu, butternut squash millet, black bean stew, and the vanilla custard."

"The food was soo good! Masao was very friendly and the space was cozy! Definitely would go back!"

"I can't believe that I slept on this one for so long. As someone who appreciates clean, mindful eating, this cafe certainly checks the box on all fronts for me. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. The food is top-notch, and you'll find warm, home-style, high-quality, vegan food here. They definitely run out of food fast, so highly recommend going in earlier. I may have also met the owner, Masao, who runs the place today and he's incredibly sweet."

"The owner was startled that I walked into the place, and with a disposable food container at hand asked me if it my meal was to go. I sat down and had lunch there, no other customers were greeted the same way. The food was really good, and so was dessert. The ambience was laid-back and everything was clean. I left a tip and thanks on the way out; no response. Vegan food is supposed to elevate people's consciousness. I don't know, I'll give it another go next time and see if things are different."
