30 Best Chinese Restaurants in Boston

“Great option for a relaxed Dim Sum Brunch!“

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“Solid Cantonese restaurant in Boston Chinatown, possibly the best Cantonese option, especially for seafood dishes.

The surf clams were great. We also got whole steamed fish, normally with black bass but because they ran out they substituted with fluke which is actually a little softer. We only wish they'd been a little more transparent with the price of it. However it was very good.

The stir fried pea pod stems weren't very good in our opinion and seemed to not have any garlic. Still a good restaurant though.“

“Food was great, but yes there are undisclosed food charges, such as pot of tea that they serve immediately upon seating, which felt a bit dishonest.

This place is also CASH ONLY, and we didn’t know since there was little mention of it.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Pretty good hand pulled noodles for around $12. Big portion. Biang biang noodles. Very saucy though bit watery so doesn’t stick to noodles too well grab a spoon. The flavor is at the bottom of the bowl. There is cucumber meat bean sprouts egg. Etc.

“It’s an Internet celebrity restaurant, but it’s still worth trying. ?Environment, food, and service are both average. ?Spicy chicken, crispy tofu, and boiled beef are all fresh and well cooked, especially the chicken, which is spicy and fragrant. ??The price is OK? , in short, very good in the United States ?“

“I finally made my way to Penang after hearing good things about it. The menu is huge and I was very excited to try the food. Overall I would say the food is good and the seafood was great, but nothing blew me away.

The roti canai was good! I really liked the texture of the roti -- thin and chewy without being heavy. The chicken curry was pretty tasty as well. I would get this again.

The chow kueh teow had really good seafood -- the shrimp and squid were tender and delicious. The noodles were not that great in comparison -- a bit gluey and quite oily.

We didn't like the beef masak lemak. The beef was not particularly tender and the sauce tasted like sweet caramelized onions? This was a miss for us.

Overall the menu has a lot of options so I'd be open to coming back. I'd try more seafood next time!“

“flavour was ok, service was quick and attentive, there’s a discount you can get by signing up for chowbus

my qualm is my food was pretty lukewarm/tepid when it was served. we also got dumplings which were piping hot and fresh but for some reason, my noodles were just really cold. probably wouldn’t come again“

“I’ve never had skewers bbq before at a restaurant and this was an excellent experience to introduce me to the cuisine. The meats were so well seasoned. I was so happy with everything I got and our service. Honestly, I dreamt about the Mongolian skewers and cucumbers. SO GOOD!!!“

“Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“This place just moved to my top 5 favorite restaurants! I asked them to surprise me and they brought me two amazing dishes. Highly recommend this place!“

“Tried it for the first time today. I really enjoyed the Hot Sour hand pulled noodle soup. I got extra noodles and medium spice. I will definitely be ordering again. The broth was packed with flavor, it all arrived hot and well packed. Give it a try.“

“It is a gem in Boston Chinatown serving the Hong Kong favorites. 香滿園是波士頓唐人街的香港美食必到之處，家庭式，鮮食材，唔好走寶！“

“The owners were very sweet and although the place is always crowded.

I tried the chicken and chinese sausage clay pot and it was okay. I would say it needed a little more seasoning and meat because it was mostly rice on the bottom, and the chicken was mostly bones. However, I would say it's worth a try! It's a cozy comfort meal on a cold day.“

“Cool old theatre converted to a restaurant. Food was middle of the road. My main complaint is you dont know what things are when you buy them. If they could add a simple description of what youre buying it would make the place much better. Ended up tossing half the stuff we ordered because we didnt know what we were buying. Oh well.“

“Server was really hurried and the place was crowded but it didn’t matter bc the food was 10/10. Don’t think I’ve been this full in so long. The food took about 3 minutes to arrive it was so quick, and it was SO GOOD. We got 烤鸭 or Peking duck, and 油条 and 葱油饼. Would HIGHLY highly recommend Peking duck- super flavorful and the egg soup. Missing China so much and this was the BEST remedy. If you care about hygiene a lot, maybe try a more modern place. But my meal was 47 dollars and I’m so full I can’t breathe.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“While their soups aren’t the best, they always have a solid selection of food. I usually go with the VIP option as there is mor variety of meats available. However, their classic option is also a solid choice given their veggies, seafood, and fish ball options.

EDIT: They improved their tomato soup! ❤️ There is a menu update as well but not much was changed.“

“Ok - this is from getting delivery but the packaging and care put into my order was incredible. They packed my icecream in a tub of ice to make sure it stayed cold and separated every single item that could possibly get soggy. Never usually write a review like this but it was above and beyond!“

“Fast, friendly service. Great selection. No pressure or rush. Very relaxing. Good flavors.“

“honestly 3.75 out of 5 stars
taste is good , the pan fried bao dough isn't quite right : taste dead n way crispy.
soup large wonton missing pickled turnip bits (soup has the pickled turnip taste n white pepper as it should)
$9.25 for 4 pan fried bao is quite pricy
ok every so often a
for some Shanghai nostalgia fix“

“Another place I read about, and it did not disappoint. The recommended fried Taiwanese style pork chop was delicious, and the salt and pepper chicken with basil was excellent as well. The soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in the city too. The black truffle and shrimp and crabmeat should not be missed.

Watch out for automatically included gratuity.“

“Very very delicious and comforting. Real deal. Considered dropping a star for slow service but in retrospect I think Head of the Charles this weekend just made everything a little more slow.

Lanzhou beef noodle soup was SO yummy words can’t even describe how the broth made me feel tbh. Lamb skewers were fatty and juicy and bursting with flavor. Mala tofu with preserved egg and rice was a great contrast to the other dishes — light and refreshing (also I love preserved egg with my whole heart). And the osmanthus flavor iced jelly? Slurp.

Picture included of plates made CLEAN.“

“For a place that unfortunately plastered with Fantuan ads, they really dont have that many coupons when pulling them up on the fantuan app or website... Its ok, that doesn't detract from the awesome dishes served here when we visited! The lobster was seasoned well and steamed accompanied with noodles! We also ordered pig ear which was a nice spicy flavor to it with a little excessive chili oil on it. The rice with the curry was very good too as the rice had a egg or some other thing making it sticky, and it was presented very well along with the clams! The veggies were good too! Service was nice and easy to understand both in english and cantonese. The decoration feels homely and comfortable and would not mind coming back here one day to try their dim sum in the daytime!

Parking: Try not to park too close here as the streets are narrow. If you do park, prepare to pay as meter maids are frequent.“

“We are vegetarians. We ordered three different kinds of ramen noodle soup(one of them substituted with rice noodle)The best one was curry tofu ramen noodle. The sea salt rice noodle was also good. The soybean sauce ramen was a bit bland. However, we did enjoy the food because we didn’t need to wait in line to be served especially when we were hungry.

Vegetarian options: A good restaurant for vegetarian options“

“I ordered the dry fried noodles and the small plate chicken. The service was quick (took 10 minutes). The food was nice and I enjoyed the fried noodles more than the chicken plate. It would have been better if the chicken plate had boneless chicken pieces. Quantity was also good but I felt like the price is too high. Overall a decent place that I would probably come back to try the other things on the menu.“

“I didn't have the best experience here recently. The samsa/samosa was chewy and the bread was a bit too thick, but still better than the ones at Jahunger. The dried beef noodles on the other hand were not the best I've had when I ordered takeout. They didn't taste fresh and they stuck together quite a bit, which made me feel like they were cooked earlier in the day.

I've had Ali's separately during an event that catered from their restaurant and found the food to be much better. I don't want to be too harsh given the mix of experiences, but I'd be willing to give them another shot.“

“Wanted some lunch before heading back to New Hampshire- popped in here as it was closest to where I parked.
WOW!!!! I mean, all I got were spring rolls and Taiwan style noodles with chicken. Both were AMAZING!!!! WOW!!!! Thank you very much for a wonderful lunch!! ???❤️?“

“It's a very simple fly restaurant, but it's not easy to eat authentic Chinese food here. This kind of product is worth recommending. The dishes are very generous. Two people, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, a bowl of rice, three cans of drinks + tip $50 Yuan, very satisfied with the meal. The price/performance ratio is very high and the service from the boss is also very good. The dining environment is average and there are few seats. If you miss the peak period, you don’t have to wait for a table. Free parking is available in front of the restaurant.“
