First time at this restaurant. It is perfect for a quick bite and pre game at the TD Garden. It is very much family style dining with long tables where you sit next to complete strangers or booths if you are a party of 4. We loved the food. We had the duck (very different with taco's to roll) we would have liked the traditional cucumber to accompany. The ribs where to die for and the fried dumplings had the best pork filling. The cocktails were equally good. This is the Japanese fast food restaurants with yummy food. Our servers China and Melanie where both attentive, nice and very hard working. I give this place 5 stars for what it does. Everyone around us had Ramen and bowls were emptied. Always a good sign.

Our server (sorry can’t remember her name) was very nice and was clearly very knowledgeable about the menu. I am coeliac and require gluten free food and the Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. They even had gluten free beer which was an added bonus. My wife also really enjoyed her black and blue burger. Well worth a visit and we’ll hopefully return the next time we’re in Boston
