Tasty with friendly service. Lunch special is a good deal. Food came very quickly. What we ordered was definitely American style, but I’ve had more intense flavors here in the past. Would come again.

Food is good but… When I leave a tip I leave a certain percentage for a reason and I feel like they deserve it and hostess accosted my wife on the way out of the building demanding that we give the waitress more of a tip. If you think your waitress deserves more money then you need to pay her more money not expect your customers to make up for it… Floor was sticky as s*** everywhere you walked very unclean… Waitress was great though…

Love this Szechuan Chinese! Spicy and good! The prices are reasonable. This place has boba, too, although it’s not the best. The service here is much better than the competitors nearby. Orange chicken was the favorite. Spinach was good. The dumplings were ok. Shanghai rice cakes were excellent.

Food isn’t fresh. They served us stinky fried rice that started to smell a bit sour/old. Maybe we look like tourists so they thought they could get away with it? We left almost 3/4 of the food untouched

I’m so glad this is in my neighborhood when the craving for Chinese food comes up. They are consistently good, the employees are very nice and service is great. I typically get take out if coming here and it doesn’t disappoint. I love their orange chicken and chow mein, especially.

We got the Sichuan boiled fish and the eggplant. At first they brought out beef instead of fish but fixed it early enough.

Situated at the heart of Harvard Square, Cilantro has been one of the oldest serving Chinese restaurant within the vicinity. An aura of Chinese folk art is reinforced by its Chinese Opera portraits hanging on the wall on top of artistic lanterns. The restaurant also offers daily chef’s specials on a chalk board, meaning very fresh and highly recommended to try. Definitely a must-visit for those craving Chinese food while visiting Harvard.

Pretty good restaurant for all the vegetarians out there. Got the vegetable fried rice and spring rolls and the food was lowkey a solid 7.5/10. Service was great and fast though. Overall I would recommend this place if you happen to have a debate tournament at Harvard haha.
