A Foodie’s Guide to Boston: Must-Try Restaurants! 🥣🥰

Over the past two years, Boston has seen a surge in new restaurants, and as a food lover, I couldn’t resist sharing my favorites that my friends and I just can’t get enough of! From hearty comfort foods to delightful hand rolls, there’s something for everyone in this vibrant city. Let’s dive into some of the best dining spots you shouldn’t miss! 🍴

P1: Gopchang Story – Beef Intestine Hot Pot

If you’re in the mood for something rich and flavorful, Gopchang Story is the place to be. While it can feel a bit oily after the meal, the aroma and taste are absolutely irresistible. I usually opt for the sweet and spicy beef hot pot, and the raw beef bibimbap is a must-try!

P2: Matsunori Handroll

This handroll spot will leave you craving more! My top picks here are the scallops, snow crab, and sweet shrimp. With an average cost of around $80 per person, most women find that five or six rolls are just the right amount to satisfy. Don’t forget to grab a small cup of their steamed egg, it’s delightful!

P3: Dali – A Taste of Spain

Dali is a Spanish restaurant with perfectly portioned dishes, allowing you to try a variety of items. My absolute favorite is the seafood paella, which is rich and flavorful, marking it among the best I’ve tasted. Highly recommended! 👍

P4: Yume Ga Arukara – Udon and More

Whenever I’m unsure what to eat, I find myself craving the cold udon at Yume Ga Arukara. Ideal for hot summer days, I still enjoy their warm soups during winter. As a spice lover, I always add plenty of chili oil to my dish!

P5: Toro 🇪🇸

Another gem in Boston’s Spanish culinary scene is Toro. Their grilled Mexican corn topped with melted cheese is simply heavenly. The smoky flavors and cheesy goodness make it an absolute must-try! 🌽

P6: Yanlan – No Noodle Left Behind!

Similar to Guanlan, Yanlan focuses on noodles. Their oil-splashed noodles are incredibly fragrant, and their hand-pulled lamb is tender and flavorful. Be sure to try their dessert, the milk osmanthus rice wine—it’s irresistible and pairs perfectly!

P7: Nagomi – Sushi Heaven

For sushi enthusiasts, Nagomi serves up some of the best wagyu fried rice around. Their salmon and handrolls are fresh and delicious as well, with an average expense of about $100 per person, it’s worth every penny!

P8: Sun Yai Thai – The Go-To Spot for Pork Knuckle Rice

If you’re in the mood for pork knuckle rice, Sun Yai Thai should be your first choice! Their pork bone soup, which carries a tangy and spicy kick 🌶️, is incredibly appetizing and perfect for warming up your day.

P9: Daily Catch – Famous Pasta Dishes

Known throughout Boston, Daily Catch serves some of the most talked-about pasta dishes, including their signature lobster pasta and squid ink pasta 🍝. With multiple locations in Boston, be prepared to wait for a table; it’s always worth it!

P10: Good Times – Your Everyday Eatery

I’ve frequented Good Times so often that I forgot to take pictures of the dishes. Their lamb spine, dry pot cauliflower, and stir-fried pork are staples in our orders. This truly feels like a cozy canteen where every dish hits the spot! 😋
