Best Restaurants in Boston’s Downtown Crossing | Eater Boston

"This pan-Asian, counter service spot is the place to go in Downtown Crossing for hearty bowls (get the beef bulgogi special if it’s on the board), bao buns, shumai, and tasty smoothies. Make everyone at the office jealous, or take a bowl to go for a sunny day lunch on the Common." - Tanya Edwards

Yeah this place is legit. The portion sizes are massive and the prices can’t be beat. The food is amazing and there’s so many different options! You can really customize what you want and you can always add more protein or sauce. I want to come back here and try all the different options. I got the pork belly bao which was perfectly crisp but as warm and delicious. I also got the pork belly bowl and I’m so glad I did. They really know how to cook it to perfection! Not to mention the chicken teriyaki which fit well with the veggies and sauce. I loved the spicy and sesame sauces and hope to try more. Another thing that really shined was their honesty and compassion. A customer dropped his food during an accident while food was being handed off to him. Instead of getting mad and making him pay for a new bowl, they made him a fresh one and helped to clean up. I believe this type of service goes above and beyond and definitely deserves recognition. Please come here and support the business! You will not be disappointed 🙏

I went to the grocery store and there was a fire drill. You read that right, a fire alarm went off and everyone had to leave. Hungry and frustrated I walked a couple blocks into this unassuming restaurant. It smelled good. Only a 6 hightop bar seating, but it was empty excluding one other couple who finished and left by the time I got my food. Food came pretty quickly, but that is because I came in the quiet lull right before the dinner rush. People had the right idea to order ahead regarding this place. They get slammed pretty quickly. Lemongrass Chicken Bowl: Chicken, marinated with fresh lemon grass seasonings in our House-Made Soy Dressing with (1) Base and topped with Cucumbers, Grape Tomatoes, Purple Cabbage, Pickled Daikon and Carrot, topped with Scallions. * Comes with a side of Kale Mix dressed with our Ginger Dressing and Purple Cabbage Slaw. VERDICT: EAT THIS! That pickled daikon and ginger dressing when this bowl is mixed together make this dish sing. It was so freaking good! Chicken Teriyaki Bowl: Marinated Chicken in our house teriyaki sauce. Topped with cucumber, grape tomato, spiced corn, purple cabbage. While good, I think it would have been better if I DIDN'T get the sesame sauce with this one. Choose your sauces wisely in this place. I should have gone for the ginger dressing again. VERDICT: GOOD Strawberry Oolong Tea: Good, but a little too sweet. I also ended up with some weird rock sugar in the bottom that was odd. Maybe it didn't dissolve? It also tasted different. It was also just too sweet at the bottom where the syrup and strawberry pieces mingled with the chunks of sugar. VERDICT: GOOD VERDICT: GOOD. I didn't feel like I wasted my money. It is very much a choose your own adventure, with the sauces, so ask for their recommendations if you are unsure. I loved my Lemongrass Chicken Bowl.

Delicious hole-in-the-wall! I ordered the chopped salad w/ tofu and pork dumplings for $22, which I felt like was a good price. The tofu was cooked right in front of me, and I was walking out with my to-go bag within 5 mins. HIGHLY recommend the dumplings; you can definitely tell they’re made from scratch and were the best I’ve had in a while. Enjoyed my lunch in the park, which is mere minutes away. Definitely recommend!

We were in Chinatown but couldn't find anything to eat, so on our way back north, we found Lotus Test Kitchen. The food was excellent, and hit the spot! You can choose rice or noodle base with meat and veg, salad on the other side of the bowl. Tasted great, and 1 bowl was enough for 2 people. Inside has very limited seating and hot, so it might be better for takeout. There was a discount to order online, so check that out.

Excellent food. Tasted great and prices are pretty reasonable for downtown Boston.

The meat was good very well in the bowl the pork belly was amazing and we balanced well with the rice and salad. My friend got the unagi and the eel was fresh and the toppings were delicious, the sauces complemented the meals well. We also got tea with citrus and it tasted great, the bursting lemon with black tea was balanced well and was nice on a hot day.

This place is amazing , it was my first time here! As soon as I walked in i was greeted and immediately. Staff that took my order was so sweet and personable, they helped me choose my order and accommodated me with my preferences. The portions are generous and the food was just as delicious. I definitely will be coming back again.

Visiting from Charleston - staying in the Hyatt Regency next door. Sweet lady taking our order. She was helpful and kind. Drink: Grapefruit and lychee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Just an insanely unique tasty drink - special. Salad Bowl: Japanese salad w/ tofu. Ginger dressing was extremely tasty although my salad needed more. To much boring lettuce & corn. Not a fan of the corn but the pickled daikon was ridiculously tasty 😋. The price was right and I will definitely come back. Overall I’d rate it with a B+.
