Village Blah

by b00pi3flak3s

No way could I ever justify dining here again. The food, service, and ambiance are all on the terrible scale. There are so many better places in the area, but don't bother coming to this dump.

  • Pros: Group Eats, Prices
  • Cons: Service, Food, Atmosphere

Fusion meets Ethiopian:Fantastic!

by guypierrier

where have you been? I have been at te Village MA. I of course loved the spaghetti bolbgnese, and my lover loved the general gua's chicken. If your looking for loving then dont go into the restrooms they only fit one person at a time. The lighting, the mood and the tables made everything seem to come together. I hear there new years party is not to be missed with legendary DJ coming out of the ranks to put on a show only a drunken sailor on leave would forget.

  • Pros: tables, feeling, light
  • Cons: bathroom, air, light

Great Group Night Spot, Good Variety

by shirly

I've only gone to Village Ma in the evenings, when it actually shifts from a restaurant to a bar and lounge. I've had a great time every time. The karaoke is great, the crowd is encouraging, they have a good song selection and a friendly DJ. I've never had a problem with the waitstaff, the drinks are of average dive bar variety, and the space is especially great for a group setting like a birthday party. If you're a bar loner, the front seems to cater to strangers meeting strangers. The crowd is a mix of after-workers and mid-20s locals. If you go late, expect a bouncer at the door so don't leave your ID at home. I also hear there's a comedy show some nights.

  • Pros: Friendly DJ, Lots of lounging spac, karaoke
2.5 Star Rating: Below Average

bad food

by anivar

i've been to this place twice...the first time was okay, i was not impressed with the food. the second time, the food really sucked - tasted like soap. both times, my friends and i have been the only ones in the restaurant besides the waitstaff. the food is cheap and the interior decor is cute...but really its worth spending a few buck extra elsewhere for good thai food....

  • Pros: cheap, ambiance
  • Cons: bad food
