If you're aching for authentic Asian cuisine, save your airline miles and zoom instead on the Orange Line. Next stop? Chinatown.
Malaysian influences tantalize palates at Pearl Villa [25 Tyler St., Boston. 617.338.8770]. After a recent trip to China, Dave C attests to their authenticity, feeling as though he were "teleported across the world" when his meal arrived.
Jonesin' for some Japanese? Kaze Shabu Shabu [One Harrison Ave., Boston. 617.338.8283. kazeshabushabu.com] has your cure. Self-proclaimed shabu expert Roni E lists the scorpion bowls as just one reason for this spot's top rating. But it's variety that does it for Ellen C, who digs the options for "vegans/vegetarians, pescetarians and those who love plates full of red meat." The spice of life, kids.
The bargain-basement prices of Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall noodle house Xinh Xinh [7 Beach St., Boston. 617.422-0501] delight Amanda H, who knows that "these places are usually where you find the best food." And what does Daniel M say to that? "Hell Pho King yes. I can't wait to go back."
If you've any room left for dessert, Kymm P urges you to stop by Hing Shing Pastry [67 Beach St., Boston. 617.451.1162], where you'll always find something "fresh from the oven, warm and just oozing deliciousness." Got an extra-large sweet tooth? Almost everything here is less than $1. Savin' up satisfaction!
