At James Beard Award nominated, PAGU, chef Tracy Chang composes a deeply personal and sustainable menu where Japanese and Spanish flavors mingle. Colorful tapas, bao, and noodles await at this electric gathering place, where Cambridge techies, international visitors and neighboring students converge.
“The Duck Confit Paella was so good! Also the cod croquette and the tampers string beans, all delicately seasoned with a balanced texture and intense flavor. Would recommended 10/10 paying a visit and will be back in a few weeks :) This is a 5/5 spot in Cambridge and definitely up there.”
“I had the paratas bravas, cod croquettes, noodle, and ramen. Paratas bravas was great, cod croquettes was good, noodle was great, and ramen was great. Ramen's broth was incredible but the meat wasn't pleasant to bite. I liked the matcha cookie very much. It is an affordable place. The service was very friendly. Ambiance is nice. The place is kid friendly. They offer noodle without spice. Overall decent restaurant.”
“Outstanding, upscale food and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The blend of Spanish and Japanese cuisine is unique and works so well together. The suckling pig platter, the bao buns, and green beans were fabulous! Many of the dishes are perfect for sharing. They have creative cocktails and mocktails too. Went with a crowd and everyone loved it!”
“Spice level was perfect on everything. Ceviche was not “fishy” at all but had a very nice taste. Karaage was fried perfect and sweet and spicy was great mix on it (no sauce really with it besides what it is tossed in). Chefs knife cut noodles were just okay.”
“We were so excited to try Pagu after seeing it that it made the Michelin list! First impressions were good: the restaurant was spacious, bright and airy. But that was about it. The food and service were average at best. My absolute favorites were the Chicken Karaage and the Duck Config Paella. The other dishes were mid at best. The crab laksa was a total scam. And their "suckling pig" was really pulled pork sprinkled with pork rinds. Why the dishonesty?? Don't get me started on the slow and tired service. I come to this after visiting the its rivals (Khungry and Sumiao) and Pagu is definitely the weakest of the three and the most deceptive. It's good but maybe not worthy of that Michelin Bib..”
