“We have been going to Uchi since the opening week, and the food and service have only improved over time. We get takeout most weeks, and have enjoyed every item we've ordered, from various appetizers (we love the shrimp shumai) to entrees of sushi, ramen, fried rice, etc., to the fried ice cream dessert. Everything is delicious, the staff are friendly and recognize regulars, and we always enjoy ourselves when we eat in.”

“Eggs & Thai Cafe is a hidden gem in Dedham! Nestled in an unassuming location, this cozy restaurant serves up some of the most flavorful and authentic Thai cuisine I've ever tasted. The menu is extensive, with classic dishes and unique creations, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
My personal favorite is the eggplant basil. It's a simple dish, but Eggs & Thai elevates it to extraordinary heights. The eggplant is perfectly cooked – tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of char. The basil sauce is rich and aromatic, with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors. It's a dish that's both comforting and exciting, and I find myself craving it regularly.
The rest of the menu is equally impressive, with standout dishes like the Pad Thai, Panang Curry, and Drunken Noodles. The service is friendly and attentive, and the prices are very reasonable. Whether you're a Thai food aficionado or just looking for a delicious meal, Eggs & Thai Cafe is a must-try destination.”

“The 50s Diner is always good. My family and I go regularly and the food and service are always top notch. I think one of the best things you can say about a restaurant is that the food is consistently good and I can definitely say that about the 50s Diner. The prices are a little higher than other diners I've been to but it's worth paying a little more for good quality good and service. Try the Greek omelet. Very good!”

“What a wonderful experience! The food and service were both outstanding. Nick, our server was very attentive, but did not hover. Food was hot and delicious. Drinks were a generous pour and good value. The owner, Michael, stopped by to make sure everything was good. Friendly and accommodating, he made us feel very much welcomed. Be sure to get his mother's recipe Brandee for desert. I and all in our party look forward to returning again soon!”

“This is a hidden gem. The prices are good, the food is good and the customer service experience is nothing short of remarkable. Everyone there treats customers more like “friends” then “customers.” The place has a nostalgic-feeling to it and looks like an old-school diner and I absolutely LOVE IT! Where the heck can you have a full breakfast these days for $10.65 (Scott’s Special)? A Starbucks Venti and Sausage sandwich running north of $10.Visit this diner, you won’t regret and they will treat you like a rockstar.”

“We had the chicken phõ & the pork ramen - both were outstanding! Lovely quiet place with helpful, friendly staff - I have a gluten allergy, so our server checked to make sure an entree didn’t have any hidden gluten. It is tucked inside Legacy Place. We will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We got a menu for them in the mail today and what made me order was the taco pizza. ive been looking for years for somewhere that made it. its absolutely delicious! However we are disappointed that the $13 chicken wing dinner only came with 5 wings. A ton of rice but not much chicken. I also didnt like how the driver never had me sign the receipt authorizing the credit card payment. i didnt even get a receipt showing how much the order was. The food is very good though. we ordered several things. ill definitely be getting this taco pizza more”

“First it’s important to note this is INSIDE the Whole Foods, against the wall with the other prepared foods. Took me several minutes to find it even once I was in WF. Food (burger and sweet potato fries) was good but they were pretty slow. And for such a small burger it was pretty expensive.”

“We did a birthday party here for my toddler, she had a great time and everyone complemented us on the idea and fun party. The service was excellent. Sade was the event planner who was responsive, relatable, and helpful. Kaitlyn was our server for the event and she was checking in a good amount, worked with us on timing cake, and was constantly clearing plates, etc. which was so nice to not have to do. I certainly plan to have parties here again. The food was okay and the kids certainly ate it, but not the best pizza. And I think the pricing for packages was fair. Most importantly we all had a great time.”
