Karma Concord

I had the opportunity to try Karma out recently. The food was excellent. The presentation of our selections were excellent. The amount of food was just right. Karma infuses their own signature on recipes that I have found in other establishments. The food did not disappoint. The service was great. The wait staff and management made sure everyone was taken care of and had what they needed. Our party of three were able to enjoy our meal without distraction from other clients. Karma is great for both formal and informal occasions. I highly recommend Karma.

The atmosphere is asian bistro with energetic music that doesn't overwhelm conversations. The menu has excellent variety and the vegetarian section, I understood, is actually vegan (no egg or dairy). My Ma Po Tofu was silky soft and wonderfully seasoned, though it could have had chopped mushrooms and more Sichuan peppercorn for my tastes. Staff was attentive and friendly in an absolute mess of a crowd plus takeout. This place is a gem, even with Boston prices.Vegetarian options: They are careful to avoid any animal products in their vegetarian section; meaning no pork to season the Sichuan green beans, or ground beef in the Ma Po Tofu. They might also be able to make some noodle dishes vegetarian, or even vegan, but they don't discount for skipping the most expensive ingredient you have them drop... the meat.

Staff is a bit on the rude side but I have noticed this in half the restaurants I have been to over the last year. Best part is the staff isn't cooking, who ever is needs praise for some excellent food namely the MONGOLIAN BEEF!I have traveled a lot throughout the United States coast to coast, and I have to say their's is worth driving back 1750 miles for! This is kinda a safe dish in most Chinese restaurants so I try something new and also get Mongolian Beef as a back up or just as a standard to compliment part of the meal. The rest of what the 4 of us ordered was good but I can't say the best. They make a pretty good Is MihThai as well. Very strange crab Rangoon, none of us liked them!

I love Karma. I’ve been going there since they opened six years ago. It’s hard to pick a favorite dish but of course tuna taco is wonderful, so is spicy lobster bomb, duck bao, salt and pepper wings, and any sushi. I really like spicy tuna tempura with volcano, but just a nice piece of yellowtail nigiri is always excellent too.The Mai tai at Karma is famous and their bartenders Steve and John are both wonderful. My favorite waitress is Amanda. She’s been there since the beginning and she is so kind. The family that runs it is fantastic and really gets to know their customers.I cannot recommend Karma enough. Love it!Kid-friendliness: It’s upscale but they are very welcoming to kids.

We did takeout, and may never do it again unless I'm desperate. It's so expensive for not good food. That's an egg roll in the picture. It's 3 shreds of julienned carrot and a sliver of cabbage. The rest is the eggroll skin. The black pepper steak had no pepper in the sauce. If you get the seafood chowfun, it's 1/3 cup of toppings and a huge container of rice noodles. Mongolian beef was drowning in too much and too thick sauce. It was so wet and soggy.
