Menu for Banyan Bar in Boston, MA

I?m not sure how this place has such a high rating. We tried the fries, shaking beef, Singapore noodles, and screaming bok... Choy. The stars are for the fries and beers we had because that?s the only things that we enjoyed. Everything else was justedible and not tasty. You are better off going to your local hole in the wall fast food place. Even PF Chang?s would be abetter choice! Go next door or across the street, the area has so many better options. Read more

We stopped in because my wife was not happy with my original dinner choice and wanted to try something different while we were... on vacation. Luckily even though there was an hour and a half wait for outdoor seating, we were able to sit immediately on thestools in front of the kitchen (which most hostesses would refer to as the chefs table- but she downplayed it as what theyhappened to have seating wise; a bit of a missed opportunity if you ask me). My wife had a fancy drink (with an herb calledverdita if that rings a bell), and although it wasn't to her specific taste, is probably a real hit normally. We had the KFCbao, which were amazing. Then the Mu shu egg rolls, which were great, although there was something off about the mustardsauce. Afterwards the Korean wings were served, which were once again, absolutely amazing (as Korean wings always are). Andfinally the Cold Noodles, which were a great palette cleanse. All in all it was an absolutely fantastic dining experience and wewould certainly go back the next time we're in town. Read more

We sat outside (we'll, we had to wait in the bar for 20 minutes to get a seat outside, because my reservation was not applicable... to outside tables. they forgot to tell that part when I made the reservation...) In any case, the drinks, the food, everythingwas delicious, and the ambiance is simply amazing! All for a quite reasonable price too! I highly recommend! Read more

First time being there was absolutely great! Food and drinks was awesome and the staff was as well! Definitely revisiting Banyan... next time I'm in town! Read more

Local Patron of Banyan Bar + Refuge, live around the corner. It's a highly enjoyable bar and gastronomic experience. Their... dumpling hour between 4-6pm is not to be missed. The hand-made dumplings are out of this world. The menu recently changed forthe Spring/Summer, and if you are looking for spicy, they have definitely kicked up their offerings with spicy new additions. Ican also recommend the Southern Fried Chicken, Shaking Beef, and Mushu Egg Roll! Everyone from the host Kayla! to their serviceteam, bar staff were above and beyond friendly and accommodating. Hope to see the Mushroom Ragu return to the menu someday. Ilook forward to frequenting many more times. Read more
