Absolutely loved our experience at Grandma's Kitchen! This cozy little spot packs a punch of authentic Taiwanese flavors. The popcorn chicken and salt and pepper pork are our favorites — full of crispy, savory goodness. The staff are lovely and super friendly, making us feel right at home. We'll definitely be returning soon to enjoy more delicious dishes. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Taiwanese comfort food!

My FAVORITE place in all of Boston. This is the first place I'd recommend to anyone who asks me for good places to eat in Boston. I'm from NJ and used to live in Flushing, Queens so I grew up eating in Asian restaurants in NJ/NYC. So when I first moved to Boston, I was mortified by the lack of exciting food options, especially good Asian food. UNTIL my friend took me to Grandma's Kitchen!! I literally ate here at least 2-3 times a week, and their food is what got me through some of the most stressful times. I've tried many things on their menu, and I can confidently say that they all taste amazing. My favorites are the popcorn chicken (both appetizer and over rice), braised beef noodle soup, spicy wonton noodles, sesame balls, and lavender milk tea with lychee jelly. If I had to pick jus

As a Taiwanese I can say this is of the best Taiwanese food options in the Boston area! The owners are friendly and always make me feel welcomed. It’s clear they care a lot about what they serve and they have a lot of passion for Taiwan. The atmosphere is great for any occasion.

We’ve been going here for years when we first lived in Boston. I work for an industry leading hospitality company and Grandma’s Kitchen sets the standard for what it means to make your guests feel truly valued and cared for! From Grandma to Andy, the staff here are amazing and even remembered our names after we came back after leaving Boston 2 YEARS AGO! The atmosphere and genuine joy of staff are, in themselves, amazing, but paired with incredible food?!? Absolutely spectacular! This is not only a Boston gem, but an American gem as well!

This is such a great restaurant, really. I am one of the many students from the nearby Newton North High School that come here to enjoy the great food and atmosphere. The food is delicious and really well-made overall; I especially enjoy coming with 2 other friends afterschool to enjoy the soup or the popcorn chicken. The soup is aromatic and flavorful, and the noodles have the perfect texture! The Atmosphere is the best, too! I love that "homey" and cozy feel that the restaurant gives you - it makes the whole experience serene and personal rather than just another food place. I HIGHLY recommend paying a visit!
