📍 Grandma's Kitchen | Newton

Not mind-blowing delicious, but more of a cozy neighborhood spot vibe 👅 Not Taiwanese so can't vouch for authenticity, but the value is pretty good 👌 🍽️ Today's Order: 🍗 Popcorn Chicken $9 Very flavorful and tender, almost has a Japanese-style karaage feel. Never had the authentic version – would love a Taiwanese person's review. But personally thought it was quite tasty 🌶️ Can add chili powder 🍠 Sweet Potato Fries $6 First time trying this style of sweet potato fries in the US 🍠 Topped with sugar crystals, crispy and pretty good. But American sweet potatoes aren't as sweet and fragrant as Chinese ones – has that distinct "American taste." Miss the roasted sweet potatoes from Chinese autumn streets 😢 🍜 Kamaage Udon $15 A very light udon dish, perfect for autumn/winter. Quite fresh with well-balanced seasoning. Pairs well with the popcorn chicken 👌 🍖 Salt & Pepper Pork Chop Rice $14 Overall a bit salty. Comes with minced pork sauce on the side – also salty but delicious mixed with rice. Not the sweet braised pork style, more savory. Want to try a full portion of minced pork rice next time. The pork chop itself isn't dry. 💡 Atmosphere Wooden tables + warm yellow lighting, walls covered with previous customers' photos – feels very cozy overall. 💰 About $20 per person 🅿️ Street parking available across the street and along the road 📌 Address: 823 Washington St, Newton, MA 02460 #Boston #BostonFoodGuide #BostonLife #BostonEats #CafeMeals #Newton #LunchForWorkers
