The Wok-180 Worcester Street, Wellesley, MA
I am a huge fan of the Wok. They are what I consider the best Chinese in the area, and I am still searching for a better one. Their Hot and Sour soup is great, although sometimes it needs an extra shot of vinegar and tabasco. I recommend their Crispy Spicy Chicken, Kung Pao, Angel Hair Rice noodles, lo mein, Hot and Sour soup, Hunan Chicken/Shrimp/Beef. All their chicken dishes use white meat and rarely do you get fatty pieces like at most Chinese places. They seem to use much higher quality meats and vegetables and everything tastes fresh. Great Combo plates that you can get for lunch and dinner. Definitely the best in the area. No matter what you order for takeout, its always "10 Minutes..Bye Bye" -Music to my ears!! Gets busy on friday nights!

Nice ambiance and reasonably priced for tapas, other light fare and some sophisticated Greek-inspired dishes. The avgolemono was delicious; the arugula salad could have been better as could the crispy (and bland) tilapia. The broccoli rabe sauteed with garlic and olive oil was beyond reproach. Decent wine list and full bar. Great and attentive service, but it only got 3 stars because of the spotty food.
Wild Willy's Burgers-46 Arsenal St (Watertown, MA)
There is a counter area where you can sit on a saddle and their booths are roomy and good for spreading out to attack your burger and the staff manages to keep the dining room squeaky clean even if your face doesn't stay that way.Their prices are a little on the steep side but the burgers are delicious.The Chicken sandwiches are great as well. Get the Onion rings instead of the fries. There are many places where the patty is good but the bun is either too sweet or mammoths the burger. Here the buns are soft, sized right, lightly buttered and lightly grilled and complement the patty and the fixin's. When you take a bite your teeth sink into the bread without being overbearing and right into the meat...the timing is perfect. The first time you take a bite, you end up taking another bite just to remind you that this is the real deal!!

General Gau chicken was delicious - not overcooked to a crisp, not overpowered by ginger, and served with great fresh steamed broccoli. Hot and sour soup was above average, as was the fried rice, which contained more vegetables than just the usual peas and carrots..They also have a very good lunch buffet. There are only a few things in the buffet (6 or 8 I think), but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. They also offer sushi on the buffet, but the sushi is only OK, almost like it is an after thought

The sushi was tasty, and priced within my expectations. I ate a filling dinner for about $15. It was my first time seeing conveyor belt sushi, so that was a fun little novelty.The service is good and despite the pacing back and forth and sometimes awkward seating, this really isn't a bad place. It's good to go for a nice snack where fried food isn't cutting the mustard
