Tulips has 3 things going on at once: they have Hibachi, normal dining (lunch and dinner) and buffet (where you eat in the normal dining area).

I've also tried the buffet and was impressed by the wide variety. I saw the guy in the back doing stir fry but didn't try any. There's also buffet ice-cream near the desserts which was pretty nice. I don't normally do Asian/Chinese buffet because of the quality but I would consider coming back.

I also tried the Hibachi one late afternoon and thought it was great. Decent proportions, the chef was very friendly and funny, food tasted great. Drinks are strong!

uncooked

Has anyone found a place to buy chicharron in Boston/surrounding areas? Waiting once every couple of years to cook some up in Mexico just isn't enough. While we're at it, any tips on *good* tamales?

First thing you should know is that the souther side of Woburn has HORRIBLE TAP WATER. Wikipedia/google it, I'm sure youll find a reason. I use bottled water to boil PASTA.

Anyway, I got a chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and it was delicious - could have been that I was just really hungry though. From what I hear they've had a sort-of rough start, have been EXTREMELY busy - go by on a friday night and youll see...etc.

Seemed pretty good to me but then again, i didnt try the soggy pizza or Mcdonald style burger.
