    Everything was fantastic, the service could have been a bit better in terms of removing empty plates and bringing new drinks. I will say they were very helpful and even recommended a great wine. Food was excellent.

    Fantastic first visit, will try very hard to come back soon (live about an hour away). Every bit of food hit the right note, chicken was crispy, hot and perfectly seasoned, drinks were varied and well made. Mac and cheese with brisket is a must ! Service was extremely courteous and attentive.

    I LOVE Wusong Road! I'm obsessed with the decor, but the food is also incredible, the drinks are amazing, and I definitely think the prices are fair (esp for Harvard Square!) I highly recommend, but know you should DEF make a reservation, they're always very busy so its tough to try and do a walk-in

    Outstanding meal with 5 other colleagues. Split several items and nearly all were outstanding. The cucumber salad was the star for me - best cucumber dish I've ever had. Tasty cocktails and a great ambiance made for a very memorable meal.
