Kasuga Cafe

Men Tei Restaurant Review

On a Back Bay shopping break, stop by this Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall for the truest of tonics---noodle soup. Choose your noodle---we like egg best---and in a matter of minutes, you'll be seated in front of a huge, steaming bowl (even the small version is large). Add in the accompanying basil, mint, bean sprouts and a few wedges of lime and slurp your wardrobe woes away.

Editorial Review

This tiny Japanese cafe's noodle soups and rice bowls are popular with area students and expats looking for cheap eats.

Was thinking a noodle shop near where a lot of students live would be good. Wrong.
Service was fast - only good thing I can say.
Food was greasy or tasteless and none of the ingredients seemed fresh. This was particularly true of the "deep fried chicken" that I ate despite my instincts based on the initial taste. Fell ill...

Awesome Food for awesome prices

Men Tei is one of my favorite places to go.Their meals are very fulfilling and very low in cost.You could survive with $5-$10,depending on what you order.Make sure you bring cash because it's cash only.The service is relatively fast and you wait for your food for about 5 minutes.The food tastes very authentic to Japanese ramen,not the ones in the packages!On the flip side,the atmosphere is...

We went to Mentei for lunch last week while visiting Boston. We were looking for someplace near Boston Conservatory that had vegan options for our daughter, but unfortunately we did not have time to check Trip Advisor first. We picked Mentei because we like Japanese and other Asian food and there were several items on the menu that looked like...

I went to this small restaurant during a short evening in Boston! I didn't know about this place,
and I couldn't read any advices on the internet (otherwise I could maybe avoid this horrible place).
from outside it looks nice, and cosy, but inside....
I was on a small table near a wall. The table, the wall, and all around...

This Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall ladles out noodle soup nonstop.

Men Tei (which literally means noodle shop) offers the Back Bay crowd an inexpensive alternative right off of Newbury Street. Try the fried-chicken ramen—this huge bowl of noodles with ample chicken will leave you plenty to take home. The starters are worth trying as well. The seaweed salad and shumai (dumplings with a shrimp filling) are popular. The atmosphere here is that of a diner with...
