Suggestions for Authentic places near Brookline

Mike M. • September 6, 2020Nice place. Very authentic. Relatively inexpensive. Try Sukiyaki udon: a huge bowl of udon noodles with thin sliced beef, tofu and mushrooms in a sweet-sour broth. Awesome, especially in cold weather

Colonnade B. • November 9, 2009Incredible place to find authentic Jazz music performed by some talented local students. Find your parking before you head to Wally's. Do not try to find a spot outside or let them "hold a spot for u"

Kiki.kik • November 11, 2010For me, it is the best place for authentic thai dishes

Mikey • April 16, 2012This place has the closest to authentic carnitas in the Boston area. Get the super carnitas... It's pretty much the s*it!

Daniela P. • February 12, 2022These are the best and most authentic Tacos in Boston (and I’m Mexican and have tried almost all of them). If you miss Real Mexican food, this is the place to visit.

Mohit S. • November 10, 2018Don’t go to this place as they are not even close to authentic food. I order a chicken tikka, spices were raw and some pieces of chicken were raw too. Won’t recommend anyone to try this place.

Steve A. • January 6, 2013One of the two places in Boston where you can get authentic Vietnamese spring rolls (nem)
