Super 88 is Allston’s own Chinatown. Split into two sections, customers can head to the back and immerse themselves in Asian ingredients or stay in the food court and overwhelm themselves with meal options.

After two years of curiosity, we ventured in on Monday night unprepared for what we were about to discover — a buzzing mecca of varying Asian cuisine.

At our disposal was Korean, Indian, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Chinese and Thai food. Not knowing where to start, we walked around the rectangular room trying to figure out what our palettes craved that night.

Assaulted by competing smells, extensive menus and laminated pictures of most dishes, we eventually made our move.

Of course, we gravitated toward the longest line and ordered crab rangoons and chicken and broccoli chow foon from Kantin Chinese, before venturing to Smile Thai Noodles for some spicy shrimp tom yum.

The crab rangoons were mediocre — the wrapper was not doughy enough — although the cream cheese and crab filling was sweet and savory.

The chicken and broccoli chow foon, although salty and satisfying, was not what we expected. Rather than a stir-fry of chow foon (wide rice noodles) chicken and broccoli, it was chow foon with chicken and broccoli with brown sauce on top, almost like two separate dishes.

The tom yum soup was displeasing to look at: The brown broth made us a bit hesitant to take a sip. The shrimp were decent, but there were only two pieces in the bowl, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the broth itself was very spicy and hard to get through without having to drink water after every spoonful.

After dinner, we visited Yo! Berry and Lollicup Tea Zone — what we had most been looking forward to.

If you’ve ever been to Pinkberry, you basically understand what Yo! Berry is about. The frozen yogurt shop offers two flavors: plain yogurt and a rotating special flavor. They have basic toppings like fruit, cereal and sprinkles, and not-so-basic mochi — an Asian rice cake.

Lollicup Tea Zone is a smoothie and milk tea franchise — their defining characteristic is the chewy boba, or tapioca balls, they offer at the bottom of each drink to be slurped up through an extra-wide straw. A great flavor to try is the Taro Milk Tea, a sweet, purple, frothy drink that’s perfect for dessert.

Although Super 88 is an Asian cuisine food court, all ethnicities eat there because of its wide variety of food.

“Super 88 has a very real, street market vibe to it, and I also like the diversity of food within the ethnic category,” Will Dempsey, a School of Management junior, said. “It’s all Asian Oriental Eastern food, but you’re getting food from countries that are hundreds of miles apart. And I like the diversity of people who show up there.”

The final positive to Super 88? Its low prices. Although, when we walked out, we felt a tiny bit greasy. But we’ll be back.
