Ehh. I want to like Tulip, but its just ok in my book. I have not tried the Hibachi yet, it sounds fun from all the yelling and gongs I hear from the dining room. I have been there about 10 times with most visits in the bar area. Tulip has a good atmosphere and decor and one of the only busy bars in Stoneham after 9pm. The food is ok- sushi is standard and entrees i've tried are good but nothing to write home about. The beer and wine selection is decent. I'm not a huge fan of their mixed drinks, they tend to be overly sugary.
Review Source:A friend and I needed an equidistant location to share dinner - and Tulip happened to be right on the spot.
We had a fine dinner of chicken with broccoli and garlic noodles, and jasmine tea. Simple and good. It's the common kind of pan-asian restaurant with lots of drinks and a wide variety of entrees and appetizers to choose from.
Service was fine. Quiet and prompt.
I'd happily eat here again if we needed a place to meet. Wouldn't make a special trip though - it was good, but nothing I couldn't get closer to home.
