Restaurants near Franklin Square

Went to celebrate Christmas Eve. 1st time to the Worcester location and was very impressed. Everything was wonderful and exceeded expectations (especially for dining out on Christmas Eve). Will be back.

This was our second time eating at Chashu Ramen + Izakaya, and it was just as good as the first. The ambiance and service is top notch! The restaurant itself has a great vibe. The food and drinks are also top notch! We started off our meal with the fried chicken and brisket bao, both were great the meat was tender and the slaw and sauce were a nice tangy contrast. The bao buns themselves were incredible; perfectly soft and pillowy. We both had ramen for a main course. I got the red miso tonkatsu and my partner got the ghost tonkatsu. Both were amazing, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the broth was rich and flavorful and the toppings perfectly prepared. A warning that the ghost tonkatsu was super spice was definitely warranted. It left us both with our faces flushed and noses running in the best way possible. Definitely one of our new favorites in Worcester!

Awesome atmosphere and appropriate level of attentiveness. The service paid attention to our needs even though it was a pretty busy night. The food was excellent. The drink options were great. The music matched the setting and was thoughtfully selected. We were very pleased with the complete experience.

Our servier, Noemie was fantastic! She was very attentive but not intrusive. She got our orders accurately and our drinks throughout our meal were served promptly. The person who brought our drinks and dessert was also very attentive. It may have been the owner, not sure. It was our anniversary and they brought a complimentary glass of champagne for each of us which was a lovely gesture. The food was also amazing. We will definitely go back.
