Little Donkey

Little Donkey in Central Square puts shrimp toast bao buns, Philly cheesesteak arancini and lobster rangoon taquitos on the same menu. The combinations make it a useful choice for friends who want to order across the table rather than agree on one kind of food. Start with oysters or tuna-and-salmon tartare over crispy sushi rice, then add vegetable dishes, noodles or a burger. Even cacio e pepe gets a different treatment here, made with ramen noodles and miso. Cocktails include smaller versions if you want a shorter drink. The seasonal menu changes, so check before arriving for a particular dish, and tell the staff about dietary restrictions when ordering.
