Best Asian restaurants nearby. Discover the best Asian food in Cambridge. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Asian restaurants near you.. Home to two of America's most prestigious universities, Cambridge exudes a certain intellectual quirkiness. A mix of historical haunts, student hang-outs, alternative art and culture venues, vintage clothing shops, bookstores and ethnic restaurants, the city is, well, really cool. Although it is located just across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge has a distinct vibe that is noticeable immediately. Start at Harvard Square, a hub of activity and mishmash of trendy stores, outdoor cafes and colorful local characters. Pick up a walking tour map at the visitors information booth in the center of the Square. The route will take you past many important landmarks including the Mount Auburn Cemetery, Tory Row and the Longfellow National Historic Site. Harvard University offers student-led tours through the illustrious buildings and monuments of its sprawling campus. Art and architecture buffs should meander around the M.I.T campus, which includes outdoor sculptures by masters such as Picasso and 20th-century buildings designed by modern greats like Eero Saarinen and I. M. Pei. Along the way, browse through bookstores, stop to watch street performers and grab a coffee at an outdoor café to take in all this captivating city has to offer.

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.

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 âpan-Asianâ, 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!

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

This restaurant has progressed with the times from serving basic sushi dishes two decades ago to very creative and tasty dishes today. The same family has owned and run it for several decades and they have done an outstanding job evolving with the times while maintaining a focus on fresh fish. The service is excellent. Reservations are not required but are recommended since this popular restaurant just outside of Harvard Square can be very busy. Finally, there are a number of good sakes available and a limited wine list with some unusual options such as a sparkling rose from southern France, which was delicious.
