Diner Reviews

"We went to the Typhoon Bistro prior to the symphony. We came in early but the place filled up quickly around us. Menu is not your typical Asian fusion...excellent to have something new to explore. Food was tasty, hot (when it was supposed to be) and in appropriate portions for a human. We will visit again!"

"There was 4 of us and every one of our meals were great. The presentation was beautiful. And then the desert ...Wow was that good one was a fried banana with ice cream and the other was a fresh fruit and ice cream that the server made a fun presentation with and lite the liquor with a lighter and poured over the fruit. So good! The waiter was a kind and knowledgeable .."

"A nice location eating in this area is pleaseant. The food was great I ordered the Korean BBQ steak which was very tender the portion was a bit light though. M date ordered the crispy duck which also was very good an nice presented. The ambiance was romantic without being to over the top and our waiter was friendly. Unfortunately I didn't get his name we reserved seating for about 845pm on valentines day. I had only wished I go to thank him for such great service. Overall a good experience and definitely a place I would come visit again."

"We went as a party of four, before a concert at First Church. The restaurant selection process was made difficult because we needed vegan options that were more satisfying than side dishes served over pasta.. After receiving the regular menu, we asked for the vegan menu, and although I was the only vegan in the party, we all ordered of of it because it was so great. The food was beautifully presented and had bright, fresh flavors. The service was just right, and the atmosphere made normal conversational voices possible. We will definitely return, and recommend!"

"Had a very nice lunch. Had our 1 yr old grandchild with us. They were very accommodating. The baked salmon roll was delicious. I had the ginger bass, that was well spiced and juicy. My guest had the salmon/tuna sushi luncheon version. Good amount of fish. Hot and soup soup flavorful, but not very spicy. Miso soup excellent. Outstanding attentive service."

"We were staying in the Copley Plaza area and were craving Thai or Asian food. We assumed that since this restaurant was downtown in a big city, high rent district, it would be at least decent. The drinks were awful (not sure the bartender was trained, at all) and the food mediocre. Service was just miserable. While it had a great front patio on the street, that was the one and only thing going for it."

"Korean bbq steak and mirin-miso glazed bass were excellent. Our kids loved them too!"

"We had the sushi here and it was good, the service was average. The outdoor seating was nice since the weather was near perfect. The seats outside were a little tight. Overall it was a good dining experience."

"First time here, and I will be going back as much as possible. The food was great and the menu had so much to choose from. Prices were great and location was perfect for outdoor dining! If you are a sushi person, you def need to try this place at least once!"

"The menu was quite varied with an eclectic variety of Asian cuisine. The service was excellent, and it wasn't noisy. There is an option to sit outside next to the sidewalk as well."
Dined on 8/17/2013
"The table we were seated at initially slants toward the patio, so glasses, menus, etc either slide off or fall over! We declined to sit there because of that, but when the water glasses were filled for the next people who did, they immediately fell off the table and broke! Of course they were then immediately moved to a horizontal table - how is it possible that they continue trying to use this table? Also, the spoons we were given to use for the flambeed fruit dessert - which was quite good - looked like they came from a middle school cafeteria going out of business sale. They must have trouble with people stealing the cutlery!"

"We sat outside on a lovely day. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the tuna tataki appetizer. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The price range is wide so it could get expensive but there are plenty of reasonably priced choices.. I'm sure we'll go back"

"This place is great to stop at while touring Boston. Good food, and good view outdoors of the buildings if seated outside. Service was great too :)"

"I've been here a few times, and this time, the food was definitely not as good as before. Service was very attentive and enthusiastic (Chadwin was excellent). However, the food left a lot to be desired. The soft-shell crab and calamari were oversalted and hard to eat and the presentation was hard to bear - it did not look appealing as it was served. We also got two drinks that were polar opposites - the sake-tini was all gin and the mojito was all juice. We got the Black Pearl entree to share. Great presentation but the fish was not so fresh (usually, it is). The butterfish is normally to die for but this time was meh. Tuna and white fish were also second-rate. Torched fish were excellent though. Mixed bag this time around."

"The food at Typhoon is creative and high-quality. We were happy with everything we ordered. The ginger ice cream is really gingery, which is nice. The spicy lamb is perfectly seasoned."

"Typhoon is a solid place for sushi (and I imagine for their non-sushi dishes as well, which I did not try). Servers are friendly and responsive, but not overbearing. While it has more than enough Back Bay cache, it is not pretentious. This is a great place to go to with friends or maybe a good place for a low-key date. My date and I had the calamari appetizer, dragon roll, spider roll, and the spicy rainbow roll- all were great!"

"My friend and I went here on Saturday night aroudn 5. I made a reservtatino but I don't think I really needed too. But better safe than sorry. I got tofu fresh rolls to start and he got veggie dumplings. both were delicious. I also got the Typhoon Spicey. I got it with Tofu instead of Chicken. I didn't realize they had a vegan menu until I looked at the site afterwards. The menu they give you doesn't have that option, you probably have to ask. My friend got Sushi. Both were amazing!! Would definitely come again."

"Service was much improved from last visit. The waiter was knowledgeable and very attentive to service. Filled the water glasses promptly. Food was very good, nice combination of flavors."

"Sushi was good, rest of the food was a grade above a chinese take out. Service slow even though no one was there."

"A good convenient and interesting restaurant to meet friends on a Friday night. Above-average variety of wines by the glass (including great plum wine); tasty coconut soup and huge shrimp tempura were fantastic appetizers. 'La Mer" entree was somewhat of a disappointment: the bright red lobster tail in the middle of the plate was empty, only for decoration. I eventually found one, maybe two, small pieces of lobster meat. The scallops and shrimp were large & fresh. Accompanying grated lettuce salad was without character and should be replaced with some interesting veggie. Flamed fresh fruit with ice cream was delicious - a favorite now. Rock music out of sync with the main dining area was fortunately replaced by more appropriate sounds."

"Fortunately we had a groupon to this place or else I would have been really upset. After paying over $30 for ginger lobster I expected it to be really good. It was actually extremely basic, I could get much better food at the basic Chinese takeout place, which is where I will be going from now on. My fiance's curry lamb chops weren't very flavorful either. We gave it a try because of the groupon, but we won't be going back"

"Went on a Monday night, so it was very quiet. The food was good, as was the service. They put us in the window, so we got a nice view of Boylston. More expensive then I would usually spend (~$25 a plate), but then again, I'm a college student."

"Typhoon Bistro is a very nice pan Asian restaurant. It is pretty with white tablecloths and a small outside area with tables. The best things we had were the sauteed scallops and the flambe dessert. A Japanese style seafood soup was not too flavorful but the ingredients were very fresh. The chopped chicken in lettuce leaves appetizer was so so and the eel unagi was also good but not the best we've had. Overall, though, the service was excellent and we had a good time. The prices also seem a bit high but it is in the heart of the Back Bay so that's what's normal around there. Overall, I would go back."

"Went with my daughter since we were on vacation there. Would love to go with my husband and indulge in cocktails. Nice ambience with a ton of different (colorfully attractive) liquors! Great variety of Asian foods - not just Japanese/sushi. Meal was very enjoyable. Food and service were both great. My only issue was that it seems to be on the small side, so tables feel cramped together. However, this was across from bar... perhaps in the main rooms it is better? Where we were sitting, there was a draft from the front door so it was cold, and we were surrounded by tables with loud talkers so it was difficult for us to hear each other (and not eavesdrop). If I'd gone with my husband, I'd insist on a different table."

"Very high quality sushi dish. Loved the Vietnamese pancakes"

"Rock solid place for a good selection of well prepared Asian foods at decent prices. Service is as expected and your water glass is filled within moment of drinking. Outdoor dining is a plus..."

"The food wasn't too bad. My date and I went because of a groupon ($45 for an app, 2 entrees and dessert) and found it to be a good deal. I would not pay full price for a meal here because I feel the quality and quantity were lacking. Yoki has similar prices and food and far better portions and sushi quality. I would recommend Typhoon if you have a groupon, are in the Boylston area and have a sweet tooth for fried ice cream (delicious!)."

"Typhoon Asian Bistro....What a gem. My guy and I really enjoyed this from beginning to end. Great food, fresh sushi many kinds to choose from and tasty fun cocktail! will for sure go again!"
