I absolutely adore this place. So many fond memories esp of my children coming here on the weekends and exploring their many book sections. The staff is always very knowledgeable and friendly, and I love supporting local businessses. We used to go to the original location (also the largest private bookstore in the country). Now we often go to the Cedar Hills location which is close to home.

It's brand new and at peak times it's busy and the wait is long, as expected going in. Other than that very friendly staff and the food was very good. We will be back. Thank you. Good to see new places open up in Billerica.

2-22-15 Stopped here for an unexpected lunch. I though I was trying a new Chinese restaurant. After spending quite a long time we decided to get the dumplings, spring rolls, the pork belly buns, garlic chicken box, and shredded pork and rice. I didn't take any pictures because everything we ordered was off of the Yelp pics anyway. My favorite was the pork belly buns. I never had this before and now I look forward to eating this again soon! Everything else was definitely homemade deliciousness. From what I have read this is all typical Taiwanese street food. We will be back!

I cannot think of one reason you should not eat here. If you are a vegetarian, stop that, you are depriving yourself of one of the best meals you will ever eat. If you like the patio at Krog Bar, check out the side patio here. You can grab your wine or digestif and smoke ciggies and wonder where that steak had been your whole life.

I had been eagerly anticipating the opening of Mission Sushi and Wok, as Mission Hill is in dire need of restaurants that aren't pubs or pizza/takeout joints. You know, just in case I ever needed to take someone out on a date in Mission Hill (which I grant is not too often). Nicer restaurants are hard to find here, as the area is populated by penny-pinching students. I walked in for dinner, and was greeted warmly and seated by a very friendly waitress. The decor is very bright and modern - green, orange, with earthy wood tones - with rock music playing through the speakers. Mission Sushi and Wok describes itself as Asian fusion, which is to say its menu is a melange of dishes from many cultures (Korean bibimbap, pad thai, sushi, orange chicken, to name a few), though I'm not sure if a restaurant can call itself "fusion" no single menu item seemed to be inspired by more than one culture. I started off with some hot sake (whichever one was cheapest on the menu) and an order of crab rangoons. The crab rangoons, unfortunately, had no taste of crab at all, just cheese. Then I completed my meal with two orders of sushi, the "Double Salmon" roll (salmon in the middle and salmon on top) and the "Spider" roll (soft shell crab inside). Both rolls were merely average, and I probably could have gotten similar quality sushi for cheaper at Sushi Station nearby. All this, I enjoyed for $45 - I'll have to come back here to try the more affordable lunch menu! The service here was better than the food, and I was checked on several times through my meal by my waitress. One oddity was that it seemed like the restaurant was over-staffed - there were 6 or 7 servers just standing around in this smallish restaurant, and it felt like they were watching me eat. It didn't seem like they needed so many workers here, especially with the restaurant not being too busy, though maybe some were just getting trained.

Cash only, small location but worth the wait! Though there was only one waiter and one chef while we were there, the service was excellent - we recommend the calamari pasta, monkfish, and balsamic swordfish. Definitely get the black pasta as a side, too.
