I felt at home, I was very well received by the family who owns the restaurant who recommended rice noodles, delicious, satisfactory size and unbelievable price.

There was a lady at the front desk who had a very bad service attitude. This kind of service attitude in Boston will cause it to go out of business sooner or later.

Let me start by saying the food here was phenomenal. We ordered the Oyster and Bean Curd Soup, the Sliced Beef and Chili Pepper entree and the Egg and Crab entree. Everything was perfect and I couldn't stop eating. The flavors were just amazing and I would 100% go back to try the other offerings on the menu. This was as good as any Chinese meal I've ever had in NYC. I really mean that. Also, the clientele here appeared to be more Chinese than American. This is typically an indication that the food is going to be authentic rather than Americanized. (If you see General Tso's on the menu - RUN AWAY!!! because that isn't real Chinese food)The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is because the service was a bit odd. I'm not talking about the fact the waitress didn't speak a word of English. I can live with that. My issue was that rather than allowing us to order the dishes we wanted she was aggressively insistent as to the dishes we should order - almost trying to force upon us the most Americanized dishes they had. Specifically she was pushing the chive dumplings and some chicken dish. While I have no doubt both would have been great, that's not what I came here for. We had to shake our heads and insist that we wanted the Oyster Soup, the Beef with Chilis and the Egg with Crab. I imagine she had trouble accepting that since I guess the typical white person who walks in would not order what we did. I'm sure the language barrier wasn't helping the situation, but irrespective of that it was just odd that she was being so insistent on what we should order rather than letting us order what we wanted. In the end she gave in - our dishes came as we requested - and as I indicated above, we were extremely happy with the results. The food is truly phenomenal and I can't recommend this place enough. But if you don't speak Chinese, just be prepared to fight for what you want to order rather than what the staff tries to push on you. As a postscript, while we were eating another two non-chinese came into the place and sat down. When we were leaving I couldn't help but take a look at what they were eating. Yes - it was dumplings with chives and a chicken dish! I'll be honest that it definitely looked good, but I'm extremely happy we stuck to our guns and ordered what we wanted!

This a Fujian cuisine.Due to it pretty much being the only one in Boston the food is a little expensive.The classic dishes you get that will never disappoint you are:Plain noodle with peanut sauce,Fujian (Fun chow) style wonton soup,Chive dumplings,Their noodle soup dishes are solid choices if you don’t know what to getThe best stuff to get here are the seafoods, but just ask ahead to see if they have it in stock.Also as most Chinese restaurants they are not really friendly for dietary restrictions such as gluten.

3/5 Mediocre. Will consider visiting again.Not bad. It takes a lot of time for them to prepare my order, which is a good thing because it means they do not just heat frozen food, but for people in a hurry it might be an issue.

For the tastes of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui, there is no bad dish. There are toon scrambled eggs. The cabbage and fried pork are both delicious. Fresh fish and sheep is very special.

I love their food!! Their tempura shrimp sushi rolls cannot be beaten! Also.... The have a Peking duck stir fry that's as good as anything you'd get in a Michelin five-star restaurant. They just do things well. You can't go wrong there!
