    That's the place. I guess what impressed me was that it was a seafood
 market as well as a restaurant, so there is a good chance the seafood is
 fresh. It was the day I was there.

    There's a very good (IMHO) Chinese restaurant in Cummings Park on
 Washington Street.  It is just behind the Staples/CompUSA parking lot.
 It is maybe 1/2 mile east of 128.

  South!  Yes, the Far East.  It's especially recommended for
 non-city Dim Sum, though I think the Peking Garden (which
 is not all-you-can-eat, versus Far East, which has both
 steam tables and carts) is better, less greasy.  I'm
 rarely there at lunch time (I live in Woburn, work in
 Cambridge) but when I've been, it's been packed.

  Bishop's Seafood in Woburn Center has been there a long
 time, and is good; we prefer Liberty Bell, a block south.

  For the best quantity per unit dollar, and decent quality, I'd
 recommend the lunch specials at the Oriental on Woburn Square
 (formerly Brigham's.)

  There's an Italian buffet south of Woburn Square (345?) but
 I've never been there.
