With UFCW Local 1445, La Comunidad, Inc., Cambridge Community Foundation, Cambridge Mutual Aid, Asian American Resource Workshop, Chinese Progressive Association, VietAid, Boston Children’s Pediatrics, Friends of the Children Boston, Project RIGHT and Solidarity Supply Distro, we have provided 8000+ essential worker families in Somerville, Everett, Chelsea, East Boston, Chinatown, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, Quincy, Malden and Revere with 800,000+ lbs. (400+ tons!) of groceries, tailored to family size, dietary restrictions and culture. Want to get involved? Volunteer here. Donate here!
OFF THEIR PLATE , WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN
In 2020, our chef Tracy Chang launched with Harvard Medical student Natalie Guo and 200+ volunteers nationwide, Off TheirPlate, an initiative to feed food insecure frontline workers in community health centers and hospitals. Chef Tracy built the restaurant partnership framework as a scalable model to be utilized across the country. She authored health and safety SOPs with the help of friends in hospitality, healthcare and safety, shared nationwide with World Central Kitchen, James Beard Foundation, Aspen Institute, and more. Our work with both OTP and PRU has garnered international recognition from The Basque Culinary World Prize, naming us top 10 finalists, alongside winner Chef Jose Andres and Star Chefs 2020 Rising Stars: Game Changer. Thank you for your continued support. For any questions or feedback, please email team@gopagu.com.
Thank you Boston Globe for featuring our mutual aid work.

"What makes these visual acrobatics so delightful is that they're not just stunts. The food tastes very good. It is smartly composed. And it is original...They are true to the person who made them. In a world on remix, where information and influence are transmitted in the blink of an eye, this may be the only authenticity we have left."

WHAT’S COOKIN’?
Our menus have evolved to include fun, dynamic dishes for large parties including the Suckling Pig board for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10+ and the Roasted Local Tuna Collar for 4-8 with a build-your-own-handroll set of sushi rice, pickles, shiso and more. We forever and always will have your timeless PAGU favorites like Pork Belly Bao and Cedar Campfire Black Cod available for dine in as well as simple kits, ready for you to finish at home.
WHAT’S SHAKIN’?
Indulge in our cocktails! To celebrate the year of the dragon, we have the Flying Dragon, with baijiu, rum, passionfruit, lime and plum bitters. Or try the White Rabbit, the best of both worlds between a daiquiri and milk punch made with white vermouth, yogurt, agricole rhum, lime acid. If you’re feeling more tropical we always have everybody’s favorite, the Lei It On Me.
NON-ALCOHOLIC drinks
Just as single-origin coffee made a splash with the third wave coffee movement, sparkling teas are gaining popularity in fine dining restaurants, from Copenhagen to San Sebastian to Tokyo. You may know them as champagne tea, pet-nat tea, fancy kombucha or other synonyms. They’re fermented tea beverages that are complex, effervescent and delicious. After learning from our dear friend Curro at Harvard and our friends at AMA Brewery in Spain, Chef Tracy is brewing our own sparkling teas—hojicha, genmaicha, rooibos, yunnan black + spruce, yunnan black + pine. They’re refreshing, fizzy, and deeply flavorful. We’re excited that they have been so well received in the past few months. You can order them for dine-in. Stay tuned for online ordering and subscriptions!
OUR STORY
Tracy Chang’s fondest childhood memories are those from her grandmother’s Japanese restaurant in Cambridge. Chin-Fun Shiue immigrated to Boston in the 1980's and after having been a midwife her entire professional life in Taiwan, she decided in her late 60s, to open restaurants in Boston. She opened several, including the area’s premier Japanese restaurant in the 1990s, Tokyo Restaurant, where acclaimed sushi chefs like Toru Oga of Oga’s in Natick and Shinji Muraki of Toraya in Arlington, trained before opening their own establishments. At an early age, Tracy observed how her grandmother’s hard work and leadership created opportunities for other immigrants, who in turn helped build a hearth for the multicultural community with tasty food and gracious hospitality.
