Tiki cocktails, dim sum, and Asian fusion fare in a tropical setting



























"This Cambridge tiki-inspired spot approaches the concept with reverence, pairing inventive, well-balanced tropical cocktails—like the Spirit of Aloha with over-proof rye, amaro, lemon, and almond orgeat—with a Chinese-American menu that elevates complexity over grease; highlights include roasted corn rangoons with scallion crème fraîche and gochugaru, coconut-glazed spareribs, and a lacquered roast duck served with bao, chili crisp, and crunchy cabbage slaw (available in limited quantities with 24-hour advance notice)." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon


"One way to tell you’re about to have a great night? Take note of a restaurant’s ability to transport you to a different locale once you step through the doorway. Wusong Road scores extremely high marks here. Chef and owner Jason Doo’s American Chinese restaurant and accompanying bar is a lush, tiki-filled escape. Sip on rum-soaked drinks, eat crab Rangoon and maple pork dumplings, and enjoy the vacation. Know after you go: Love the tiki mugs your drinks were served in? The restaurant runs an online shop where you can buy mugs for your home bar." - Erika Adams


"One of the newer additions to Harvard Square’s bar scene, Wusong boasts lush interior decor and a cocktail menu that emanates strong tiki vibes, with classic rum-centered drinks taking the spotlight. Pair with zingy dan dan ragout, crispy grilled crab rangoons, coconut spareribs, and more." - Erika Adams


"This two-story tiki bar and dim sum restaurant is serving up some of the best drinks and small plates in Cambridge, not to mention an immersive, highly-decorated interior that changes with the seasons." - Celina Colby


"Chef and owner Jason Doo runs a restaurant and tiki bar in Harvard Square and is a connoisseur of tiki mugs; the establishment sells the classic Spirit of Aloha mug made specifically for them by ceramicist Corey DeWitt of Coxswain Dunsel." - Celina Colby
