Earlier in the day I tried to get a reservation through Open Table, which said only very early or late reservations were available. So I called the restaurant. I was first impressed by the customer service of the person on the phone. He accommodated our needs and found a time slot for us. We were then late, due to having... More

I appreciate the enthusiasm others on Tripadvisor have shown for East By Northeast, but think some caveats and qualifications are in order. This small spot in east Cambridge is obviously a labor of love, and their limited menu focusing on noodles and dumplings indicates that they want to do a few things and do them as best as possible.

Flavors are so unique and delicious. Almost every small dish was a knockout. Try new things, take risks, your taste buds will thank you. One of my favorite restaurants.

A MUST! A sublime experience in every sense. The favors, the creativity, the presentation together with the variety of ingredients used and the sequence in which you get to experience them...

It’s Chinese fusion; everything is locally sourced. And, there’s no... More

even as a non meat/poultry eater I found enough choices to have had 2 very special dining experiences here-from the rice noodles to house made sodas to a special dessert that was memorable (citrus-chrysanthmum semi freddo with rhubarb/strawberry coulis and toasted pistachios-yum!) I don't even live in the area any more but this place is on my list when I... More
