"BLR by Shōjō (13 Hudson St.) closed on December 21, with the team shifting focus to its other restaurants — Shōjō, Ruckus, and a forthcoming new place, also in Chinatown." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"BLR serving takes on classic dishes like mapo tofu, duck mooshu, and lionhead meatballs." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Not yet gone: Chinatown’s BLR by Shōjō (13 Hudson St.) will close on December 21, as reported earlier this week, as the team focuses on its other restaurants." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"For the remainder of the season, BLR by Shojo (13A Hudson St., Chinatown, Boston) is offering a new special drink — boozy boba. There are three flavors available at $12 each: maple bourbon milk tea, rum matcha, and taro mezcal. Pair them with dishes like roasted bone marrow with scallion pancakes; pork belly wontons with black garlic and chili oil; duck confit mooshu; and Sichuan Bolognese." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"BLR is one of the coolest restaurants in Chinatown, a dark, lantern-lit basement place with really good small plates. The bone marrow is something we’d always eat, and if you come with a group you can do some fun shared plates like the pig’s head bao. This is probably your best bet in the neighborhood for a date night spot or a business meal." - Dan Secatore
