My friend and I met here for lunch. It's a very authentic Chinese restaurant with dishes that some westerners may find scary. I had the mapo tofu and it was great. I do recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Chinese food.

Great ambiance and nice background music. The food was very authentic and affordable. The service did get busy during lunch rush however but we weren't in a hurry. Highly recommend!

Most authentic Chinese food I have had in this region. Absolutely love the Szechuan spicy fish fillet soup with cabbage. Such tender flounder and the taste is exquisite over rice. The pork and chive dumplings are also very good as well as the beef with scallions. Mapo tofu is also served here, but for my taste, the sauce can be a little thick, but still very flavorful when served over rice. If you are looking for an authentic Chinese food experience, Aries Noodle and Dumpling is the best place to go in Waltham.

Delicious authentic Northern style Chinese food. The service was efficient. There was a good amount of seating. It's not standard Americanized Chinese food, it's in the Northern Chinese style. I did get udon noodles and their pan fried homemade pork dumplings which were wonderful.

在波士顿连着两晚都在这家店吃，颠沛流离了一周的中国胃终于找到了归宿。这里汇集了各种中餐美食，饺子，锅贴，拉面，炸酱面，炒饭。龙虾和海鲜味道也不错住在这附近的朋友可以闭眼冲

Overall a good experience. Order your meal through the app directly. Tuesday night was quiet and has plenty of space in the restaurant. Price is decent with generous portion

We really enjoyed this place. We had: Beef pot - delicious and very spicy with those mouth numbing Szechuan peppers Spicy fish - really good Cucumbers - the perfect balance to a spicy meal We also had the bean paste noodle - great noodle texture pork dumplings and chive pockets - these fell a little flat Wish they served beer :) Service is courteous and prompt. You order from an app, not a waiter.

The Aries is definitely one of my regular places to have lunch and dinner. It is actually not a big restaurant with magnificent interior design, but the food is extremly good. The price is fair. You probably won't go wrong with ordering there. The texture of the noodles is extraordinary. A few cuisine received less attention but is highly recommended as you barely find it other places: 1) Aries Roasted Chicken Carcass 2) Cold Port Knuckle In Jelly 3) Smoked & Grilled Lamb Chop 4) Health-Preserving Lamb Pot. There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant, which is so convenient. Lastly but not the least, you may receive extra discount if you pay in cash.

We tried this restaurant this weekend. Its conveniently located in Waltham Square, right next to Moody St and Main St intersection. There is a parking lot right next to this place, but it costs money. Don't park there as Main st has plenty of free parking. The restaurant looks pretty clean and every single customer was asian, so this place has to be good. And it was good. I had the sizzly chicken in brown sauce, which is a perfect combo of sweet and savory with boneless chicken. This dish remains hot due to the sizzling bowl, and I caved and just dumped my rice in there (it got a little on the salty side though). The 2 noodle dishes were good too. The lanzhou beef noodles tastes like pho. The spicy beef soup was decent. I like the oversized bowls and the spoons that sit on the edge of your bowls. This place has very little interaction between the staff and customers. Could be a bad thing or good thing. They greeted us, let us sit anywhere and said order via the app by scanning the code at the table. That was fine, but we had to flag someone down when I had to ask if my chicken in brown sauce comes with rice or not (it didn't). I also asked if they have the chinese crepes that I see in the Yelp photos (they do not). The crepes are offered next door at ozone, which is owned by the same owner. I wonder why not just create an opening in the kitchen between the 2 places and let folks get some boba and crepes? Back to the menu....It did seem like most of us had to order off of the app....but when leaving the restaurant, I noticed one table had an actual menu. I'm wondering if perhaps they are having the "americanized" asian crowd order off the app vs letting the more "traditional" asians order off a different menu? Just my own curiosity. The food was good, but not so much that it blew me away or was it special. The prices are ok...or a little tad on the expensive side, but still okay with me. The place is clean. The people are friendly if you happen to interact. Parking is easy on main street or at the lot next door.
