    the service was incredible, our server was so attentive, intuitive and incredible. We had birthday celebrations to celebrate and it was a lovely celebration. It was pretty loud in the restaurant - but that was the only downside and still manageable.

    Truly wonderful experience. Jazz band started as we sat down and played at just the right volume to have a conversation and jiggle to the tunes. We were very close to the stage and the waiter was attentive and good humoured. Food was delicious and cocktails were very satisfying. Will be back!

    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

    This a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and exceptional service. The appetizers were fabulous, all of us loved our meals, and the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever had. I had messaged ahead that my family needed a quiet, private table to discuss a cancer diagnosis. The compassion of the manager who greeted us when we arrived was so sincere, and all the staff members went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and given privacy. We will definitely return, hopefully next time when I’m cancer free! Thank you again for helping us through a difficult night.
