1. Avana Sushi
Boston, MA 02111
(617) 818-7782
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
This is one of those places that I cringe to review, because it means sacrificing the reins of the little hole-in-the-cell-phone-store gem that I once had and giving the butts of the world the opportunity to warm the few seats that reside there. Let…More »
2. Super Fusion Cuisine III
Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 864-6299
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Porter Square
SWEET CHRIST.
Okay, you've pulled me back in, Super Fusion. You totally have the best sushi around. Tastier and without the janky pickled ginger I've come to expect from Genki Ya, fresher than the Porter Exchange. You deliver to my address and you…More »

Blarg. I hate to deface an ROTD, but reality is a bitch that cannot be ignored. Their maki rolls… Read more »
3. Dragon Garden
Probably a bit of a shocker if you've ever stepped foot inside this dank, carpeted, fluorescent-lit sketchathon, but this is my new go-to for cheap Chinese take-out in the Davis/Porter.
The food is all exactly how it should be--the wonton broth is…More »
4. Passage To India
Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 497-6113
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhood: Porter Square
Poor Passage to India. As it is my passage from the T to my apartment, I walk past its windows daily and peer into its woebegone dining room, which is inevitably occupied by one or two measly patrons as the servers sit around a table, most likely…More »
5. Rod Dee Thai Cuisine
Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 374-9252
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Porter Square
The Porter Square Pan-Asian Take-Out Consortium is now complete.
Despite the blue neon sign that had been searing my retinas since its inception, the promise of Rod Dee had been a promise of glory, at least according to my roommate and some Best of…More »
6. Wok N Roll Restaurant
Cambridge, MA 02140
(617) 497-8638
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Porter Square
Ever since my 4am Toronto brush with Ho-Lee-Chow, I'm weary of Chinese restaurant puns. I therefore avoided this place for the better part of the year I lived next door to it. Then one day, I was like, you know what would be good right now? Crappy…More »
7. Genki Ya
I concede that I might have been a bit swept up in my love of having discovered a decent sushi place that delivered, and thus a bit prone to exaggeration when I initially wrote my glowing review(s) of Genki Ya. But I also am open to the fact that…More »

Update!
Thank you, modern technology. The online take-out option is plainly unbeatable in this city.… Read more »
8. Sakura-Bana
Boston, MA 02109
(617) 542-4311
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Financial District
I am not a vindictive person. Sure, I take the occasional schadenfreude in certain situations, but overall, I wish no ill will upon people, and certainly not upon sushi bars that I frequent, oh, let's conservatively say 3-4 times per month FOR TWO…More »

Freaking thanks, Sakura-bana.
Because of you, I sit in my freaking cubicle, at my freaking desk,… Read more »
9. Boston Kebab House
Boston, MA 02109
(617) 227-6900
Categories:
Turkish,
Delis,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Financial District
So I suck at salad bars. My eyes are always bigger and ostensibly more clever than my stomach ("of COURSE those [disparate foodstuffs] will taste good mushed together when I dive back into this overflowing take-out tray [5 hours and/or whenever I've…More »
10. Flatbread Company
"Hey, wanna go bowling?"
"WHAT??"
"I SAID, 'WANNA GO BOWLING?!'"
"WHAAAAT??"
"BOWLING!!!!!!"
Etc.
This place is loud. And not in a kicky early 90's jams kinda way. Ear-splittingly loud. Industrial acoustics, screechy table full of Tufts students,…More »
11. Guru The Caterer
Somerville, MA 02144
(617) 718-0078
Sigh. I know I'm supposed to be in love with this place. Everyone else is, and I am, at a kind of soul level--I like their simplicity, their efficiency, their dirt-cheapness, their dynamite customer service. I mean, is it even customer service if…More »
12. Diva India Bistro Restaurant
Am I allowed to criticize an experience where a whole Royal dinner for two and a beer came to approximately $12.60 with my Groupon?
Yes. Yes I am.
It's not so much that the food wasn't good. It certainly wasn't bad, although the chicken korma was…More »

I'd like to love Diva...and I'd also like to hate Diva. I wish I could put my finger on why I'd… Read more »
13. City Slicker Cafe
For some reason, the buffalo chicken pizza used to keep me awake at night in a blissful, yearning dream-state of kicky heat and cool, creamy bleu cheese.
Now it keeps me awake because my stomach has realized that I just consumed a full quart of oil.
