I hosted a birthday brunch for my husband for a party of ten, and it was fantastic. It was very quiet at the restaurant at our 11am booking time and it was like having a private room over in a corner on our own. Server was great and gave us all the time we needed to visit before ordering. Everyone was very happy with the food and drinks. I look forward to returning.

I LOVE Wusong Road! I'm obsessed with the decor, but the food is also incredible, the drinks are amazing, and I definitely think the prices are fair (esp for Harvard Square!) I highly recommend, but know you should DEF make a reservation, they're always very busy so its tough to try and do a walk-in

I always enjoy my Mothership experience. The Wednesday trivia allows our group an occasion to gather in a fun setting. The service is always personal and attentive. Staff even remembers my name and puts us at our special table. The food is great. I love the haute hot dogs on the shareable menu. A friend raved about her halibut dish tonight. I’ll be back often. Try it…you’ll love it too.
