I ordered a duck dish there a couple of years ago and it was full of bone shards, I nearly choked. I can't bring myself to order from them again.

Chanu shabu on park Ave is a pretty good hot pot place. It can be a bit intimidating your first time but it's all you can eat and has a regular menu of classics for take out and such. A bit pricey but worth it as a special occasion. Also a nice bar.

Nancy chang's is an ok sit down spot but every time I go there something is off, not super consistent but a lot of vegan options and a nice atmosphere and a good bar.

Kenichi on shewsbury is a smaller cozzy sushi spot that's a bit pricey for what it is, but the drinks are strong and the people are nice and more used to drunks.

Chuan Shabu is one of our favorites. It has gotten pretty expensive and I miss having better a la carte options, but it's also about the experience. Pretty loud place, too.

Thai time in Clinton is way better than brown rice imo, not the Thai time in Worcester they're not great at all.

Meh, over priced and ramen is not great... Always cold and noodles are off.

There's better ramen out there.

Don't get me wrong, I still go to chashu occasionally since it's convenient for me based on where I live.

But during covid I learnt to despise take out ramen, where you throw precooked cold noodles into warm broth... Blegh!

I thought dining in there would be different, but nope. As far as my ramen snob self can tell... It's still take out ramen, just in a fancy bowl.

I just can't rave about it.

Instant ramen is better....

If you wanna head out of Worcester for like 15 minutes drive, Kai Mook in Millbury is Northern Thai street food and my homie from North Thailand considers it the best Thai in central Ma.

Mint Kitchen & Bar. Their food is legit, moved from LA and this reminds me of what I find there. Full bar too.

Not Nancy Chang's, all of their food tastes flat.

I like sushi at Kenichi, it's on Shrewsbury st. so parking sucks but easy for you to bop around after. I like Da Lat on park av for casual BYOB vietnamese (get the tofu salad and an order of the egg rolls) and Pho Dakao is pretty good, a lil pricey tho. The Chan Shabu hot pot is pretty good, going there tonight actually. If you wanna do drinks and apps then I'd recommend Kenichi for sure.

Kenichi is great all around save for their sushi, had freezer burn last time

Yeah, the sushi is just...fine. Definitely doesn't blow me away but I haven't had a bad experience there either. It's good for apps, a couple decent rolls, drinks and in a nice location for mozying somewhere else.

Yama Zakura in Northborough, though gets busy on weekends. Could sit at the bar if you're there early enough.

Gotta recommend Mins wok, on West Boylston st.

Really solid Chinese-American wok style restaurant.

Also, echoing that Nancy chang's is meh. Always a bit bland.

caelen727 t1_iw021yq wrote

Easy. Chinese is Choy Lee’s 2. Thai is Brown Rice. Vietnamese is Dalat. Sushi/Japanese is Kai. I will die by this list lol

Hardly a pinnacle of Asian cuisine, but Wong's is indeed one of the best Chinese-American joints in the area.

Pho sure in Shrewsbury for Vietnamese, but get your bubble tea from OneZo in Kelly Square.
