    This was one of the best first-time dining experiences I’ve had. I went with someone very special, and everything—from the warm, intimate setting to the shared-plate menu—set the tone for a beautiful evening. We started with the Fried Oyster Plate, followed by the Braised Beef à la Plancha, both of which were flavorful, satisfying, and presented with care. Dessert was the Smoked Chocolate Bread Pudding—decadent and comforting, a perfect ending. What truly made the evening unforgettable was the exceptional service from Kelsey. She was warm, attentive, and guided us through the menu like a trusted friend. Her energy helped make this night one we’ll never forget—and absolutely the reason we’ll be back. After dinner, we wandered through Harvard Square with no destination, because we had already found the perfect place. If you’re ever in the area, this should be your first choice—or your very first stop. You won’t regret it.

    The beauty of Wusong is the amount and deliciousness of the veggie/vegan options. We had one vegetarian in our group, but we ordered all veggie small plates so everyone could have a taste of everything. I think the winner was scallion pancake quesadillas, but everything else (tempura, lemongrass dumplings and summer rolls) was incredible. Add the cocktails, eclectic decor and friendly vibe and it's a perfect night out.

    I loved the plants everywhere. I had steak with mashed potatoes and yellow peppers which was cooked perfectly and super tasty. I definitely would return next time I’m in Boston.
