EaterOctober 8, 2013Shōjō has a wildly successful Asian fusion menu — in Chinatown, no less. There are dishes like a "pot o'kimchi" alongside a charcuterie board and duck fat fries with Sriracha aioli. [Eater 38 Member]Upvoted Feb 15
Chris EMay 22, 2016Great spot for tasty late night snacks, lively atmosphere, friendly staff, fun cocktails. Not a typical Chinatown spot. Get your food order in before 11:30pm (on Saturdays that is... ymmv).
Enrico ManaloMarch 9, 2018Shadowless duck fat fries are one of the greatest things you can put in your mouth. Love the reiko green & yakuza old fashioned. Fantastic bartenders & atmosphere. Wish the clientele were more diverse
Morgan McKeeNovember 15, 2018Hipster Asian tapas. Very good selection (hard to choose), and good service. Also enjoyed the cocktails. Go for shishitos, pork dumplings and steamed chicken sandwich. Can actually skip friend rice 🍨
Vambah SillahDecember 7, 2014Great vibe in the heart of Chinatown. Love the Asian American fusion. Really enjoyed the sesame flavored wings. Great ambience. 90's hip hop fills the air and graffiti fills the walls.
Where do I start? Fiona, the Bartender? Fly. The music? 90s hip/hop & RnB throwback. The duck fat fries? No joke and then...the drinks. I've had pretty much every one...all bomb. Best bar in Beantown.
Great brunch. Get the signature mushroo mazeman, park bao, and Toro miso ramen. Share. You won't regret it!
Cocktails are wonderful. If the Fried Chicken bao sandwich is on the menu it is a great late night bite
Winnie J.June 10, 2013Food here is amazing and at such a great price for the quality! Try the Pork Bao and ask for the Mexican Corn (Summer Corn) - it's off the menu but has Kimchi Butter - SO GOOD.
Eric DOctober 23, 2021Awesome sake selection. Ribs and wings and tacos were so tasty. That combo feels like I should be recommending a different place than this Asian masterpiece.- Enrico ManaloSeptember 20, 2018The Reiko Greene, gin gin mule, kamehameha, fulong blood & sand, morning star, yakuza old fashioned: A+. The shadowless fries and tiger style ribs are so, so, good.
Logan LeasureOctober 4, 2017One of Chinatown’s best spots. Make a reservation far in advance if possible. Menu is rotating and everything is delicious (and a bit pricey).
SwarmerApril 27, 2014Small portions of appetizers and entrees! Don't go thinking it's anything like Chinatown! However, good buzz, nice cocktails and good presentation of food! They've attempted to make it an upscale bar!
Giovanni OliverApril 6, 2015Good mixologists up in the bar. Cool spot. Favorite drinks: Jungle Fever and Mai Tai.
Yuval ZukermanOctober 2, 2019Food is excellent - especially dumplings and ribs. Very very loud. No need to talk when your mouth is full. Also only one bathroom for each gender. Beware.
Fernando Robles CoulterNovember 3, 2017Only place where you can find BAO. Love it. My favorite place to eat in Boston.
Kat 🐱August 31, 2017The Mushroom Mazeman is a little bit on the salty side but it's surprisingly good! The Duck Fat Fries are not as good as I expected though.
Annie CJanuary 24, 2013Get the pork stuffed calamari. A little bit of spicy tomato sauce, the calamari is like a light ravioli, and the pork is incredible.
Benjamin GrønvoldApril 16, 2017Great place for lunch dinner or drinks. Hip place with cool decor. I'm going back for drinks.- Cristian LöfvallFebruary 1, 2016The suckling pig bao is delicious! It is a small plate, so plan to have something else with it!
Pretty sure the Shojonator is the BEST BURGER I've ever had with no exaggeration. Amazing take on the Wendy's Baconator
Jay HendersonNovember 14, 2015Food is A+, rap music, Chinatown = Win. Try anything and everything. CREAM.
KaitlinJanuary 19, 2016Get their version of Boston cream pie with jujube berry and ginger. Absolutely delicious!
Sofia UzJune 7, 2015Hip asian tapas place, very fresh and delicious. Changing menu. Very friendly and knowledgable staff
Kat ChenAugust 16, 2012A fantastic addition to the Chinatown bar/restaurant scene! The duck fat fries are to DIE for, and their cocktails are fantastic!- Marjorie DJune 27, 2015Pig Basso amd the Duck Fat fries ate both great. So ate their specialty cocktails and beer.
Phil LaPierAugust 22, 2012Very cool space and vibe. Only stopped in for cocktails, which were phenomenal. But will definitely be back to try the food!
Tufts UniversityMarch 11, 2013From its original take on Pan-Asian to eye-catching presentations and ambitious bar offerings, Shojo is a winner. Read full review here: http://now.tufts.edu/articles/dish-chinatown-chic
Alexandre MunhozNovember 13, 2020Outstanding service. Very generous Old Fashioned and these ribs.. omg!
Vanessa GatlinDecember 8, 2014(Best of Boston 2014-ASIAN FUSION) Improper Bostonian says, "This is how it starts: You bring a cocktail-let's make it mezcal-to your lips, and suddenly you're envelopes by a nectarous fog..."
David HoltzApril 10, 2016The superhappyfunmakeagoodtimeagogo (the agogo for super) and the duck fat fries were awesome!
William ScullyAugust 4, 2013Anyone who loves beautiful modern Chinese cuisine needs to come to this restaurant!
Matthew SheppardJune 8, 2014Awesome cocktails and great fusion food. The Kamehameha is a spicy winner!
Nick ScottJune 5, 2017Great spot for late night snacks and drinks after a show in the theatre district
Stephen PurcellSeptember 24, 2017Skip the greens, but the ribs & kimchi fried rice are amazing, as are the bao.
Brad BlakeDecember 19, 2012Delicious drinks and food, cool atmosphere, with fun 90s and early 2000's music. Win.

"If you're looking for delicious, authentic hot pot, go to Chinatown. Try the Takoyaki appetizer and a side of mushrooms and fish paste. My favorite trick - ask for a raw egg to cook in the broth."
Eugene Kim - 7.8
"The shin ramen was great and spicy! Pork belly pasta with kimcheese was delicious 😋 not spicy at all and definitely cheesy. The fishbowl drinks are fun and buzzworthy! Get the garlicky edamame!"
