A hole in the wall place that is at the edge of Chinatown but easy to miss. I passed by this place so many times but finally got to try it. It's a small place inside with a pretty long menu. We ordered the next size up of a clay pot and it was enough for two people. It was easy to order as the menu and everything is online. Food came pretty quickly too!

Solid eats. Come for the authentic Chinese food especially the clay pot, but the noodles and vegetables were good too. Small place as others have noted but service was friendly and efficient. You might have to share a table if there's just a couple of you and you're seated at one of the larger tables. We had the chicken and Chinese sausage clay pot, the pepper beef noodles, and some gai lan. Everything was very good. Would have tried the chow fun but they were out. You sit and order from your phone, food comes out, and you pay directly afterwards. They take credit card now.

We had lunch here today and everything was SO GOOD! We arrived about 10 minutes before opening time, and it was raining. The staff were considerate enough to open early for us; we truly appreciated that act of kindness. The vegetable dishes were fresh and cooked with the perfect touch; the clay pot rice was so flavorful and a great counterpoint to the other dishes. Definitely a gem!!!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian dishes, including one we had that was super flavorful! Chinese kale with garlic

Ordered takeout but forget one dish. Told us they would refund us next day but refused to do that when we arrived. They do cash before but They only do credit cards now and no flexibility at all.

Just embarrassed us in the middle of small room with no seats. Saying their boss was on vacation is crazy to us. Just bad service....

The claypot rice was delicious and reminiscent of Hong Kong. For Boston standards, definitely one of the better Cantonese options. The spicy braised brisket was alright, with 麻辣 (mala) spice but too much bean sprouts and not enough brisket for the price. Veggies were delicious and served in a clay pot. Price is slightly expensive for main dishes but the rice is reasonably priced. The claypot rice also had decent 飯焦 (crispy rice on the sides), an essential element of claypot rice.

Make sure to ask for extra soy sauce.

Quick and easy place to grab a claypot rice. I mean what more do you want? I think that the meats could have been more, but it's a very homey restaurant.

Every once in a while, my company sends me to Boston. I always go to this joint for lunch, and, I must say, food has always been great. I had the yellow eel clay pot this time. The eel was good. The rice was good. The seasoning was good. The way they combine the ingredients, it makes the dish amazing. Ol' time restaurants like this don't cut corners when it comes to technique. They do things right.

Truly a hidden gem at the edge of Chinatown. Incredibly flavorful claypot rice that easily beat many street vendors in Asia. The selection is wide, treatment is simple, homemade. The place is small, so expect to be crowded when busy. Owner/waiter very friendly and welcoming, and attentive. I highly recommend this to locals and visitors alike. I certainly will have many more visits to sample many other interesting items on the menu.

I've lived in Boston for 27 years and finally found this place through a friend. The place is small so it is easily missed but the food is so incredibly delicious. I will be going back. I had the yellow eel clay pot rice and I should've gotten a bigger pot. I had to share with all my friends about this place.
