“Really good. Hadn't been in years. Food was tasty and fresh. Best pork fried rice. Bobo platter fro two really really good. Great pad thai. Duck sauce is so good. Drinks are a little pricey but I dont know nany places yhat arent these days. Also, the chocolate fortune cookies are so good!“
“Very nice decor atmosphere...dress casual vibe. Good food ....spring rolls were too chewy inside ...maybe rushed on NYE. Poo poo platter plentifully but food got cold quickly. Shrimp fried rice some of the best I ve had. Prompt service but dotting over us a bit too much ...maybe waiter wanted to turn over table at NYE but I felt rushed at times. Very attentive otherwise.“
“POSITIVE: Good hot and sour soup. Good lunch options (food quantity and price). NEGATIVE: 1 person took our order, another person delivered the food to our table. No one came to check if everything was ok, or offer water refill. Kung Pao chicken was more sweet than spicy. Would not order again. Crab rangoon was overcooked and hard to eat. Went during a Saturday lunchtime. Very few customers until close to end of lunch special time. On-street parking, so limited by time of day and other business customers on the same street. It's a little "hole in the wall" place; easy to miss. In all fairness, I would try it once more to see if other dishes are better.“
“Quite simply excellent Asian cuisine. They aren't kidding when they say that your name and face are remembered. One of the waitresses, Sharon, is one fine example of that. She remembers our preferences from visit to visit plus she is friendly and accommodating. Do you enjoy sushi? They have great, fresh sushi just waiting for you to sample! Check this place out. You won't be disappointed!“
“J and J is my families new spot for Asain tasty treats. Jean is a fantastic owner. She makes you feel like family from the time you enter the establishment. Sushi was fresh and delicious. They even made a special chicken tempura roll for my wife and added it to their POS ordering system for future visits. We call it the Elisabet roll named after my wife of course. My kids smashed every morsel of food on their plates which is especially rare for my picky 6 year old daughter who just loved her fried rice and Salmon. Kids meals are adult size so it's a great value . I had two Scorpion ? Bowls which got me feeling pretty lively. I imagine moving forward we will be doning weekly at J & J . Jean and staff thanks for the wonderful time.Blessings,Phillips Family“
“The vibe here is great, we love to go down Friday or Sunday night and sit at the bar. Always busy, get there by five if you want a seat. Tom makes the best drinks, martinis are fabulous, and he makes a mean Manhattan. Tap beer is ice-cold, salt and jalapeño pepper wings, and the maki are our favorites.“
“Best Chinese food ever! I ordered chicken and broccoli, amazing! Also ordered orange chicken (medium heat) another amazing dish! Tender chicken, but not greasy. I ordered and paid online directly through their website and picked up myself. Order was ready on time, staff friendly and accommodating. 5 “
“Been there 3 times already and will continue to go. Food is great and tastes authentic (even if the design of the dishes feels somewhat formulaic).Milk and fruit tea options are a great combo with the spicy dishes.Vibe is minimalistic and modern, which fits the theme.I think the only thing they need is to update their marketing strategy to become more localized and attract more regular customers. As it stands it still feels like a brand imported from overseas.“
“This was my first time here and it won't be my last! The service, food, and cocktails were outstanding. It is a clean, and quaint restaurant tucked in a strip mall in Middleton with ample parking. The portions were hearty and seasoned just right. It is also reasonably priced. The fried dumplings, lettuce/chicken wraps, boneless spare ribs, stuffed eggplant, and scallops with fresh vegetables over noodles were all so delicious.“
“Nice little restaurant/bar off rt1 my son brought me here and I have to say I was amazed at how good the food was and at night they do karaoke ? where you can sing right from your seat it was so much fun I would Definitely Recommend checking it out with your friends for a fun night out uou won't be disappointed we had a blast and the food and service was great really friendly and good people. I will definitely be returning.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Food is exceptional! Scallion pancakes & wings were very good, but the spicy braised beef w/ handmade noodle and braised pork belly w/ rice were amazing! We will definitely be returning to try out everything on the menu ?? Extra points for a very tasty brown sugar “
“If you haven’t eaten here you certainly should, it’s a hidden gem with the best dumplings I have ever tasted. The lady who owns and runs it is a fantastic personality and a joy to see for every short occasion. I would have posted a photo to show how perfectly crisp they are but I ate them before I thought to post and ate them far too quickly. The homemade dumpling sauce is such a compliment. Highly recommend going out of your way to make it here for the times it’s open you wouldn’t regret it.“
“This is literally the best Chinese food restaurant in Massachusetts. Food is 5/5 - both Chinese & Sushi. Service is 5/5, Drinks are 5/5. The only negative is that it's so popular you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait!“
“Awesome local place. Consistently quick takeout. Or come sit at the bar for a drink and a Rangoon and a good time. One of the only lively places in Arlington ??♀️ They often have live music, and will let ya put whatever you want on the tv!“
“Recommended!! New fav hotpot buffet spot in Malden! >> Reasonable price + Clean + Fresh + Yummy + warm service???The bone broth and spicy butter broth are awesome. The meats are tender and delicious.The sweet sticky rice in buffet menu is yummm.Also we tried the meat in the screwers today (a la carte). It's good as well.Overall, Definitely come back ?“
“What a nice lil Gem. Great food & prices reasonable, 5.00 more after 3pm on lunch though ?. It seems like everyone knows each other & the staff. Highly recommend to try.Parking: Main Road, plenty of parking In lotWheelchair accessibility: No stairs“
“We love it here. The food is so authentic and spicy. It takes your tastebuds to a whole new place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It’s truly a gem here, and the authentic nature here makes you appreciate their culture. Also, the Mai Tai is wonderful and the price is reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. The restaurant is huge, and we only had to wait once on Chinese New Year. We get the Spicy Jumbo Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Picked Radish and the Smoked Pork with green pepper. You must give this place a try if you keep an open mind, and truly want authentic cuisine. It’s simply the best! Thank you.“
“So good. Like going into Chinatown but with parking and good service ?2024 Update: This restaurant has been under new management (I believe it was sold to the previous owners god children) for a while now. Against all odds and expectations, it has gone from a really good spot to an even better, great restaurant. They have updated the menus, leaning harder into the authentic dishes that had set them apart, and brought an exciting energy. It's always bustling but never overwhelming. Welcoming and warm. It's so fun to watch old dishes that I loved get even better (ex. 3 cup tofu eggplant now has a smokey aspect that I didn't know I was missing) and to see the new owners make their mark.Thanks for bringing your passion, we are so proud of you and I am sure your god parents are too!“
“Tried it while in the area based on Yelp reviews. Got the springs rolls and pan fried dumplings as appetizers. The spring rolls were okay not great. The pan fried dumplings were really good. for entrees we got the Vegetarian Delight, the Basil Chicken with eggplant in Garlic sauce, and Chicken in black bean sauce. The vegetables in the Delight were excellent, the sauce was one of those sort of Chinese American white sauces that I am not really a fan of but was still decent. The Basil chicken dish was quite tasty, really good sauce and the eggplant was really, really good. The chicken in black bean was a simple but excellent dish. The serving dishes might have seemed cool in concept but perhaps had a flaw in actual use because they seemed to have a tendency to easily overflow due to design that has weakness on either end. Simple order at the counter and they bring to your table in the small dining room. Seems to be primarily a take out place but the dining room was clean and the service to the table good. They checked in on us. Bathroom was nice and clean.“
“This place is really nice and you can have breakfast. Due to my work, I travel around various places and have tried many Chinese restaurants. The food in this restaurant can definitely be regarded as one of the authentic Chinese tastes. To be honest, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the beef tendon noodles, pancake fruit, tofu noodles, sauced bones, meat skewers, sweet and sour pork loin, and couple’s lung slices, and I’m quite surprised to be able to eat beef tendon noodles and tofu noodles. actually. . There are no serious dishes mentioned here, mainly because we all love to eat dumplings and basically eat dumplings hahaha. I highly recommend you try them, they are really good! In fact, I often go to restaurants that have been around for a long time. In my own words, they are called "Old restaurants must have unique skills" hhh. Before I came here, I saw some comments about certain dishes and I was particularly worried about them. But as for me, In terms of experience, I feel pretty good. Everyone's taste is different, so if you're interested, come and try it yourself.“
“The inside of the restaurant is nice and welcoming. The staff are very friendly as well! I’ve ordered takeout from here 4 times now and honestly it’s become my exclusive go to and somewhere I consistently recommend to others.The food tastes just like the Chinese food I had as a kid in Europe that was fresh, authentic, and simply delicious. The egg fried rice (ask for no soy sauce), the volcano chicken, and the chicken in black bean sauce are no brainers (as in delicious and generous portions). The peking ravioli (only had steamed) is one of the better ones I’ve had in the Boston area too! Service is fast as well. Tasty, authentic, great portion size and service - what more can you ask for?“
“Very nice atmosphere. Service okay but need to ask twice as a reminder. They walk away from the keno machine too often and you miss your game. All the food I ordered was delicious except fried calamari. Looked terrible and smelled fishy. Don't let that sway you from enjoying this resturant. Very nice place and friendly staff.“
“Best drinks EVER and even better food, dumplings are amazing. Easily a 10/10!! Would highly recommend to anyone. Also had an espresso martini that is one of my favorites in the Boston area, and even the staff/employees are incredibly accommodating!!“
“This is a special place. Very friendly and welcoming people. Best Peking Ravioli by a long shot over anywhere else in town. Full of flavor and the dipping sauce has spices added that make it a great accompaniment. Not just the same stuff others offer. Soups full of fresh vegetables and tasty broth. No choice for me anymore. Best in town.“
“The food is delicious! The prices weren’t high. They have plenty of choices to order from! I highly suggest this place for somewhere to eat for lunch or dinner!Vegetarian options: There are steamed veggies!Kid-friendliness: There are many options for children including, chicken nuggets and French fries!“
“It feels like Hong Kong restaurants are all homemade and not frozen.You can eat shredded radish in radish cake?Shrimp dumplings and siomai are both thin-skinned and elastic with fillings~The beef louvers are very fresh but it takes a long time to chew hahaThe rice rolls are also delicious and the portions are large.Maybe we left the crispy quicksand buns too long before eating them, and the fillings were a bit solid. They were very filling and very filling after eating them.The one that I'm a little bit offended about is the fried taro dumplings. The filling is a bit boring and the taro paste doesn't feel like much seasoning, but it's very crispy.The wait was really long at 11 a.m. on Sunday ? An hour at least. You may have to arrive early to wait for a table on weekends“
“The place has more young college age people than I expect for a traditional Chinese restaurant. Interior design looks more like an American than an Asian restaurant. Food is good but pricy. I did like their river eel dish that is difficult to get from Asian restaurants, where I usually get sea eels. Overall the food is moderately spicy so most people that have tried Chinese spicy food will be able to enjoy.“
“Just ordered luncheons Sushi fresh and delicious with a generous amount of sushi, miso soup and a salad. Also got luncheon with chow Mein came with wonton soup and crab Rangoon. Veggies were crunchy and light, fried rice was fresh. Good value and considerately packaged. Very fresh. Highly recommend this place.“
“THIS RESTAURANT IS SO DELICIOUS!!! Everything one the menu is cooked to perfection, served hot with a smile. The staff are very friendly and their menu items are authentic. I am obsessed with their chicken teriyaki appetizer and the happy family entree. Everything that I have ordered has been superb.“
“Deena wings , Black Label maki, and filet mignon tips will blow your mind! Great atmosphere! Great service! Sometimes you wanna go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name“
“Excellent food excellent service. I would have to say the best Chinese Food in this area and I do mean this is a big area has been this way for years and years. save yourself a lot of time and money and go there here first can't beat the prices and the quality of food. Everything from the service to the food no place can compare to here“
“I got the lunch special boneless spareribs that comes with pork fried rice, also 6 chicken teriyaki skewers for total of $20. The skewers really worth the money as they’re big pieces, very juicy and tender. As for the rice box $9 is a bit pricey for the spareribs. They were so dry and hard with no flavor. However, the fried rice itself was great. Still super full after throwing out the spareribs and still leftover. Not much expected from these Chinese fast food takeouts but can be cheap enough for a quick meal.They no longer have tables for dine in option. But the owner seems friendly“
“I have always gotten a great dinner from them. Their food is always good. Well worth the price. Once, they forgot to put our chicken fingers in the order. They kept trying to call us on a cell phone that we don't usually answer. When we got home, we called them, and they offered to send their delivery guy out to us with just 4 chicken fingers. Ambience, is stockroom city, sweetheart.“
“Great place, fantastic food. Great portions for the price too! Super friendly staff, had a great chat with the owner while I stopped by! Thanks Shuu!!Vegetarian options: My sister had me pick her up a veggie dish and she loved it.Kid-friendliness: Great food, great staff. Definitely kid friendly.Parking: Plenty of parking, free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Nothing stopping a wheelchair from going in!“
“I had to come back and update my review -- Shine's has changed, and I think it's great. I hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but a few months ago my family decided to give it another try, and we've been back regularly ever since. The menu is almost completely different from what it was back in 2017: they are focused on authentic dishes, and doing it very well. I wish I'd come back sooner! The menu contains a lot of choices that aren't typical, but are very tasty. We particularly like the Rougamo sandwiches (listed on the menu as "burgers", but that's not exactly how I would describe them) and the "pancakes" (more like stuffed crepes, sort of), particularly the shredded potato pancakes. The soups are also excellent and unusual. And there are still areas of the menu we haven't explored at all. (I have no idea what "Toofy" is... guess I'll have to try it.) My only (minor) complaint is that you order at a kiosk (or online, for take-out) so you can't ask the waiter/waitress for any info/recommendations.“
“Wonderful staff! Our chef was entertaining and skillful. Food was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is fun and friendly.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free meal was prepared separately in the kitchen and brought out when everyone else was being served. Thank you!“
“We had my husbands 70th birthday surprise party and the guests could not stop raving how good the food was and the drinks and how much fun it was. Kevin and his wife worked so hard to make it a success. I work full time and left it in their hands and the did not disappoint. Great time cannot recommend enough for a quiet dinner or family affair or party“
