My Fav casual restaurants
See All Lists
1. New Golden Gate Restaurant
Amazingly authentic Chinese food. We brought our extremely deprived (Chinatown in Michigan?) Singaporean PhD student -friends with us who haven't tasted proper food in 4 years. They were floating on air. As soon as the food hit the table, silence…More »
2. Bamboo Restaurant
I find this place perfect for those casual romantic evenings (especially for couples always going out to eat & who need to change up their restaurant repetorie).
Parking is tough, but you can leave your car at the Whole Foods a block down (the…More »
3. Franklin Café
Boston, MA 02118

Lounges,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: South End
I honestly adore this place. It is an amazing first date place. Unpretenious, cool vibe, cozy comfortable private booth seating. I must have eaten here in its early years because I have never had an issue getting a seat. I suppose the news spread…More »
4. Tin Tin Buffet Restaurant
So it's alittle ghetto, but there are always people streaming outta this place with happy faces and big tummies. That's a sign!
For two people, lunch during the week, $ 13.25 with tax. CHEAP.
They have all the classic Chinese American fanfare - chicken…More »
5. Wang's Fast Food
This is my favorite Tufts area family-owned restaurant. You would assume from the name that they'd only specialize in typical americanized chinese fast food, but you would be absolutely WRONG!
This place is great if you have the right expectations.…More »
6. Beantown Pub
Boston, MA 02108
(617) 426-0111
Categories:
Pubs,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
When I finally found a job, my boyfriend and I celebrated here with a young, lively, afterwork crowd atmosphere. It is casual and has that old tavern feel. I have only sat in the front bar area, but the back tends to get significantly busier during…More »
7. Vinny T's of Boston - CLOSED
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 262-6699

Italian,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Back Bay
My secret love for greasy, downright obscene portions bring me here. Where else can you find the meaning of being an American?!
The gracious attempt at ethnic decor, the cheesy "classico" italian music, big buckets of foccacia bread and a whole head…More »
8. Café Mami
Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 547-9130
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Porter Square
This place supported me during college. The best wholesome food offered in this itty Japanese mall.
This place feels like home because you get bottomless white rice, sriracha sauce, and rice seasoning conveniently on your table.
MUST: chicken curry,…More »
9. New Dong Khanh
Boston, MA 02111
(617) 426-9410
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
When I am in the mood for bubble tea, I come here. You wouldn't believe that a restaurant would have such a flourishing side business for drinks, but they do.
They have amazing shakes that come in all the popular flavors - taro, almond, regular milk…More »
10. Thai Basil Restaurant
Casual dining place for those out shopping with friends or family. I was extremely impressed with the food quality here. This place satisfies my tastebuds yearning for the most succulent and spicy. They have great combo lunch specials for under $8…More »
11. Antonia's - CLOSED
This is the first place I had discovered when I moved into my new apartment in Davis Square. It was summer and sitting by the huge vast windows was a delight.
I used to love getting the sauteed calamari and caesar salad or even trying their specials…More »
12. Pomodoro
The one time I visited (2003) it was an extremely pleasing experience. This place cannot hold more than three tables, but kindly and professionally made room for our party of 7. I asked to split the delicious salmon with my boyfriend and they were…More »
