Asian Garden - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We picked up 4 entrees for our family dinner last night from Asian Garden in Chinatown, yesterday. It took us about 30 minutes before we could dig in. The food was fantastic even after being covered for that long. Beef chow foon - It wasn't overcooked or dry tasting at all. The flat rice noodles were cooked just right and the beef was tender and not overcooked. Katsu curry - Unfortunately, the sauce took its toll on the crispy katsu. Despite that, the dish was still tasty. There is generous portions of baked fried rice under a large katsu portion. The curry is the chinese yellow type...not korean or japanese curry. The curry had some onions and carrots pieces in it, along with just enough flavor to enjoy it. Peking style pork chops - These were more orange than red, the way I usually prefer them. Looks wise aside, they definitely tasted really good! The pork was cooked just right and there was a good mixture of lean vs fatty pieces. The sauce was really good over rice. Spicy wings - these appear to be lightly breaded and were still a little crispy when we got it home. The chicken pieces were of decent size too...which is great cause these days a lot of chicken places give really small cuts of chicken. Overall, the food was really tasty. It was hard controlling ourselves to not overeat. Prices were reasonable and the service was friendly. I can't imagine how much better the food would be had we dined in (especially the Katsu). Tip: ask for the katsu or curry on the side for take out. I look forward to dining here again soon! read more

Recently returned for indoor dining. A pretty solid lunch spot in Chinatown! While they don't officially have a lunch special menu, their lunch price before 3 pm is 50 cents cheaper. I'd say compare it with other restaurants, the menu price didn't increase that much since Covid started. Food is served as it is made, just like other Chinese restaurants. When it's not crowded, the indoor air ventilation was good around 900 ppm for CO2. They have a TV that runs in Cantonese. Service is always friendly. Highly recommend it! read more

Worst Asian food in Boston. Fried rice with "roasted pork" was actually deli ham. "Orange chicken" was soggy fried chicken soaking in a pool of pineapple sauce. Dumplings were oily and soggy. Noodles were super thin and stale. Panda Express is much better for about a quarter of the price. read more

They stepped it up recently for Chinese New Year dinner. Started with a soup that was part of a fresh steamed fish / soup combination. The soup was made from the fish bones, and then the fish was later served in a traditional steamed ginger scallion preparation. The fish was really fresh, and took on gentle flavors which didn't overpower the original fish flavor. Also on the menu was a surf clam / bean thread noodle dish. These were really good; the surf clam wasn't too tough; the garlic could be a bit more fresh though. But overall it felt like a nice dish. The pea pod leaf was fresh, and this time not too greasy. The rice hotpot with chicken on top was really neat; there were bits of rice on the bottom of the pot, and the flavors melded well. Finally the pipa tofu had a nice texture; the pieces themselves were much smaller than I remembered, but the texture and the taste were nice as ever. Kudos for high standards, despite a fairly full house for new year!!! read more

It was pouring rain for our annual Thanksgiving Asian dinner in Boston, and this was the restaurant closest to our parking spot, so in we went. It was icy cold in there, so we sat with our jackets on the whole time, with a tiny portable heater sputtering at us amidst a bunch of cardboard boxes. Happy Thanksgiving! The watery tea was welcome only just so we could warm our hands up with it! Food is...not great. We did really enjoy the sautéed pea pod stems in garlic sauce. The "Peking ravioli"--aka dumplings--were passable. Our daughter definitely seemed to enjoy them, but the meat inside was completely separated from the dough, so they completely came apart right away. The beef with broccoli was just plain gross: the sauce on it can only best be described as slime. It was oddly (and unappetizingly) viscous and orange and just no. The shrimp lo mein had those miniature shrimp that you know came right out of a freezer bag, and the noodles were much thinner than we preferred. Normally we would give a place like this two stars. However, the restaurant that we went to two years ago for Thanksgiving was so bad that we actually gave that one two stars, so Asian Garden shines in comparison, landing us on three stars. But really, it's two and not very good, but to each his or her own. read more

Really enjoyed the authentic flavor and can't complain about the reasonable prices :) I def would recommend this place! read more

Thank you, Asian Garden, for getting me through so many calls with your insane portions, easy online ordering system, shocking low prices, and delicious food. This will always be one of my go-tos in Chinatown, and I will sorely miss your food when I leave. If you have to get one thing, absolutely get the spicy chicken wings. For $9, you get a huge pile of perfectly seasoned wings that are somehow crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. People INHALE these for good reason. When you get these as a take-out order, they even poke holes in the styrofoam container to make sure your fried food doesn't get soggy. They are true pros. I also enjoy their Peking-style pork chops when I'm in the mood for something very sweet and bad for me. The combination rice plates are a good deal for less than $8. The only thing I didn't love is their General Gau's, which needs to be crispier. When things start to feel safer with COVID, I can't wait to come back and try a wider variety of dishes. read more

Order crab Rangoon to go. Pleasant service is the reason for two stars, otherwise my food was not edible. Perhaps the red flag should've been when I saw the cook bring the crab Rangoon from the freezer. 3 minutes later, my food was boxed and ready to go. I didn't think much of it until I bit into the first one and it was warm on the outside freezing cold in the middle. There was no evidence that is was a crab Rangoon and instead seemed like cream cheese in a pastry. Very disappointed as I am a lover of crab Rangoon read more

Our visit and the food was sub par. Won't be returning. Pu pu platter - Not good or bad, just average. Crab Rangoon - All cold in the middle! We were sad but still ate them. Beef with pepper - Good but too peppery. Half fried chicken - This had potential but there is no sauce so it's just fried chicken. Beef with broccoli - Also average. Beef tendon soup - Below average Sesame pork (tasted like sesame chicken) - We liked this. Only item I would eat again. Overall, all the food was blah. I eat in Chinatown all the time so I was surprised that the food wasn't better. I'd recommend going elsewhere! read more

Great spot for Chinese food in Chinatown, it's easily overlooked as it's on the edge of the district but I would definitely recommend it and come back again for dinner. We got seated in the downstairs area which was calm quiet and spacious. The service was very nice and friendly. They gave us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted and we really did take our time since there are so many options. The szechuan spicy chicken was soft, tender, spicy, and delicious - I wonder what they marinate it in (probably beer?) to make the texture come out so good. I loved the beef and Chinese broccoli, as the broccoli was crispy and flavorful which is hard to make correctly. The beef here (as well as in the chow foon) tasted high-quality, big pieces, very juicy. The chow foon was awesome too - huge portion of hot noodles with a lot of flavor. 3 dishes between two people was a lot of food - dinner for 2, snack for 1, and lunch for 1. The value for the money is great too. read more

Cheap and convenient! I came here thanks to a local nift deal I had with a friend and was seated immediately. There weren't too many people inside. Food: We got the beef chow fun and also the Mac and cheese with milk tea and also the tofu. I thought that the food was quite standard Chinese food and nothing too special. Wouldn't recommend the Mac and cheese special though. Service: The waiters were extremely kind and helpful! I was surprised, maybe because we were one of the few customers there. Food also came super quickly! Ambiance: Very causal. It's a little bit dirty inside. Overall might not come again unless I had another nift deal! read more

I've been here twice, once with friends and once with family. While I usually don't order many appetizer-type foods at Chinese restaurants and prefer to cut straight to the chase, I really enjoyed the salt and pepper fried chicken wings. I wanted to get this because the first time I was here, my friends and I got the salt and pepper squid (one of my staples), and it was okay at best, along with some of the more traditional mains we got. This time, I branched out a bit. These wings are fantastic - crispy on the outside, with the salt and pepper tastes balanced and a good spicy kick, and juicy meat on the inside. I'd highly recommend them. We also got scallion pancakes, which looked almost deep fried and were very crunchy. I don't like my scallion pancakes like that, so it wasn't my scene, but to each their own. read more

Asian Garden - Spicy salt and pepper fried chicken - do it - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Every time I run errands in Chinatown, I make an effort to order from two restaurants. Asian Garden has always been one of my favorite Cantonese foods takeout or dine in. Like always, I ordered the twin scallion ginger lobstahz, trio salt n peppah crispy seafood, and shrimp fried rice. All tasted amazing and the same as I have been ordering the past 10 years every time I visited Boston to see my family. The owners were nice and accommodating even though I ordered 2 hours in advance. My order was hot and ready for me to pick up when I returned. Seriously, every restaurant has their own specialties, ask for suggestions! It's always excellent if you order the right dishes!! You expect a restaurant to do 100 dishes well? Ha...good luck with that. read more

Wow. The food is amazing good. We first timers to Boston Chinatown and tumbled on this one. We had the lobster onion ginger stir fry and a sea cucumber mushroom dishes. Both were superb. This restaurant is a hidden germ in Chinatown. Highly recommended. read more

Came here for takeout dinner. Parking was competitive street parking. Drivers are savages when it comes to looking for parking in this neck of the woods. However, there is the well-known illegal double parking that many people do directly outside of this restaurant. Inside the restaurant, the tables look decently socially distanced with the small foldable room dividing screens. We ordered 8 items of decent complexity and we were told that it will take 20-minute wait so take that what you will about the freshness of the foods. Here is what we got: The crispy fried coconut custard was an awesome appetizer / dessert. Outside crunch with sweet coconut filling. This comes with condensed milk for dipping but there was not enough to dip all the pieces. Recommended. Next, we got the spicy chicken wings. Crunchy on the outside and the spice compliments it. Not much to say about this very common dish. There seems to be an equal amount of drum parts to wing parts for those who really want to know. For vegetables, we got the stir fried pea pod stems. This is a typical Cantonese favorite. This is made well, even though it was a bit on the oily side. Next, the pickled vegetable with shredded duck was our least favorite. It was something new we wanted to try but did not work out. Personally, I don't like the mixing of pickled vegetable on any meats but if you do, you may like it. The dish was saucy with a decent amount of protein. Sweet and sour pork was good. they used a lot of breading on the pork so there may not be as much meat as it looks but I think it provides a good texture with a bit of a crunch-chew. This is a classic dish and the sweet and sour element is just a favorite. I would recommend. Next, we had the Cantonese style shrimp & pork rice sticks. The pork is actually some kind of ham (see picture). The entire noodle dish turned out very boring in taste and looks. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it though. Lastly, we got the "Asian Garden Special Flounder", which I do not recommend over the "deep fried flounder". The only difference is for an extra $13, they will fillet the meat off the flounder and serve on top of carrots and broccoli. You will still get the deep fried bone carcass where you can eat the deliciously crunchy and breaded fins. Seriously, this is the bacon of the sea. But, save your $13 and have them deep fry the fish whole instead. In my opinion, you are just paying for overpriced carrots and broccoli. Overall, had a decent experience. There are some hits and misses. I would come back and try the foods again. read more

Asian Garden is a family style restaurant that also does hotpot. The moment you step into the restaurant, you can hear a Hong Kong drama playing on the TV, which served as great entertainment while waiting for your food to come out. Coming here with my family to celebrate my grandma's birthday, we ordered stir fried pea pod stems, stir fried choy sum, salt & pepper soft shelled crab, steamed fish, steamed chicken with ginger and scallion, pork chop Peking style, walnut shrimp, and salt & pepper white fish (?). I most enjoyed the salt & pepper dishes as I also felt like I was getting my money's worth with how decent sized their portions are. The walnut shrimp was the most disappointing. It does not come with broccoli on the bottom and comes with the addition of pineapples, something I have never seen paired with this dish. There was not much flavor besides mayonnaise, and it did not come with that many pieces of shrimp. The stir-fried vegetables were alright, they tasted yummy, but nothing too impressive. My parents did not enjoy the steamed chicken as they did not find it fresh, but they did finish off the steamed fish. I thought the pork chop Peking style was not bad, but I have also had better elsewhere. Overall, this restaurant was okay, but nothing impressive enough to make me want to go back. read more

This place is an absolute hidden gem. Sure, the service can be kind of questionable and yes, the atmosphere may not be for everyone since there's a ton of locals and regulars there, but the food is undeniably tasty. And prices are ridiculously reasonable. I usually get the chicken katsu with curry over rice, the hot and spicy wings, or the peking pork chops. The portions are huge and will no doubt fill you up. One dish is usually less than $10 each as well, so it's a great value for your buck. When you're satisfied and full to the brim, sip on that tea and just listen to the Chinese news. Go here. read more

Asian Garden - V3. Beef with Black Bean Sauce Plate - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Situated a little off the main area of restaurants within Chinatown, Asian Garden is right near Gong Cha dishing out Cantonese style dishes like it's many neighbors. I came by on a Tuesday night and it was quiet around 7 pm with maybe four other tables in the half hour I was there. That aside, it really is your typical Cantonese restaurant in the area with the fish tanks inside and dated decor. The space seemed average with a few larger tables and smaller tables for four. Another review I read said that they had seating in the basement as well, so kudos for that! For food, I tried the salt baked chicken and the beef chow foon. The chicken was served warm, which is a change of pace from regular chicken dishes which are usually cold/room temp. The chicken itself is salty enough and did not need the extra ginger/scallion sauce which I will gladly eat with rice. The chow foon is excellent with the smoky wok flavor and crunchy bean sprouts. Portion size for both dishes were plenty with the chicken around $13 (less than the poached chicken I believe) and around $8 for the chow foon. Will definitely add this to the rotation if I have a group gathering. read more

Tasty delicious Chinese food for great value. The restaurant looks small when you look in, but there is also downstairs seating. The menu is quite extensive with many many many options! My husband and I got 3 dishes to share between the two of us and it was super filling with plenty of leftovers. Everything came out fresh and piping hot which I LOVE! We got the beef chow fun (dry style not the gravy one), szechuan chicken, and beef and chinese broccoli. The noodles were so delicious with plenty of tender beef. The chicken was also tender and the szechuan flavor was perfect and not too spicy. The beef and chinese broccoli dish was good as well! The beef was tender and the broccoli was on point, nice and light crunch and not overdone. I will definitely be back to try more of the dishes! read more

Boston. You call yourself a city? How is it possible that there is no Chinese food within a mile of Mass General? We had to walk to Chinatown. Well, I'm not that sad about walking to Chinatown, because Asian Garden is pretty solid. I had high hopes after walking in, because there were no white people in here. (Not that I hate white people, it's just they aren't always a reliable indicator of good Chinese food.) The wonton soup? Very solid. The salt and pepper wings? Very crispy, quite tasty. The peking ravioli? Those are just OK dumplings. The lo mein? More like chow mein, unless the guy didn't understand us. Still good. The General Gau's chicken? The same as General Tso's everywhere else. Maybe they fought to the death, Tso got the chicken, and Asian Garden didn't get the memo. I dunno. read more

Two reasons to come here: 1. Affordable asian meal for lunch/dinner 2. The Hong Kong style tea time/brunch! Asian Garden is the most consistently visited restaurant in Chinatown (for me) when it comes to family gatherings. I think the food here is most on point to the food I eat growing up. My default are the deep fried chicken, garlic frog in a pot, black pepper beef strips, peapod vines, duck tongue, steamed fish, and garlic vermicelli on scallops! It's a lot to take in in one sitting, and that's why you come with a mob of family/friends! A plus: you can call to book the entire basement, which could fit up to 20-25 people. The Hong Kong style lunch has a variety of food you usually see in Hong Kong (obviously) and I haven't seen another place in Chinatown that has this menu. The meal comes with a choice of coffee or milk tea. My go to is the D meal that comes with spam, sausage, egg, toast, and ham and macaroni in soup. With friends, I also order French toast with peanut and condensed milk. I found out that they serve this from 11am to 5pm, so you could have this hk style brunch til late afternoon! Asian Garden could get crowded, but it's rare not to be in an Asian restaurant. The staff are busy workers but will tend to us when we needed something. Bathrooms are moderately clean compared to most places in the area. I'd recommend this place to anyone, old or young! read more

This place is awesome and definitely underrated! For $30 you can get a meal that comes with rice, soup, 3 entree dishes, and even dessert if you order during dinner time. I came here for lunch and we ordered beef with string beans, spicy salted pork, and fried fish filet with beancurd for our meal set. 1) Spicy pork was fried perfectly while still being moist and juicy on the inside. 2)Fish filet with bean curd had light batter on the fish and overall delicious 3) Beef and string beans were awesome. The beef was very tender and the pepper sauce it came with was SO GOOD. It went perfect with a bowl of rice. As expected however, you'll get typical Chinese restaurant service so don't come in expecting top notch service. But just know, your food will come out piping hot and delicious and that alone is worth coming back for! read more

Cockroach !! This was my favorite lunch spot for years. But unfortunately they have just lost a lifelong customer. I ordered a bowl of rice congee today for a late lunch. Half way in I saw a rather large dark spot like object in the bowl. Of course it's a fkin cockroach. After I reported it they had the courage to not only brush it off like nothing saying "it's not a big deal". And then they proceed to argue that it's a piece of mushroom. It's completely ridiculous. Don't ever go there again unless you need that extra protein. One star because they did took the congee off the bill. read more

Food: 1.) Fried Chicken Wings - Fried very well as it was very crispy but also timed so that the meat was juicy and tender. The wings were also marinated well as every bite had a heavy flavor. If you go here, you MUST order the wings to try. I got the non-spicy cause my bro can't handle anything with a kick. 2.) Yin Yan Fried Rice - Big plate of fried rice topped with half tomatoey red sauce that has pork and veggie. The other side was a thick white sauce that didn't have any flavor as far as I could tell with shrimp and peas. I like the tomato side a lot more and complimented well with the rest of meal. 3.) Portuguese Pork Chops - Due to the other yelpers I've see on here recommending the Portuguese Pork Chops, I ordered it and was very pleased. The pork kutsu style pork slices were crunchy and flavorful. The curry sauce was good and works well with eating along with rice. 4.) HK Milk Tea - Decent but could use more black tea flavor as mine was a little weak. Could be just it was very busy when we went. Vinh Sun on the other side of block still does the best in my opinion. Ambiance/environment: 1.) Casual settings, few large 6-8 people tables and some 4 person tables. It's typically busy during lunch so expect noise, and waiting for table but only around 10 - 15 mins. I saw them do a lot of take out. Not a place for first date and more like the 5th. They serve tea. 2.) Don't be surprised if they seat you at a table shared with others. Standard practice in Chinatown. I'm fine with it as sometimes I get to chat with the other side. 3.) Bathrooms are decent by Chinatown std.Good size and ok clean. 4.) (Applicable to Chinese speakers) They have wall mounted HD broadcasting GZ/CCTV but hard to hear and see if you sit close to door so if you want to watch your fav drama or news, best table is the 4 person table 2nd from the wall. Prices: $9-$14 for the dishes we ordered. We skipped the lunch specials cause we had time and wanted to try the main dishes. Service: 1.) Waitstaff can speak Mandarin/Cantonese but English is only passable. My advice is to point directly to the menu line item you want so there is no confusion. Typical requests like 'no msg' or 'extra spicy' are fine. 2.) Tipping in Chinatown is generally 10% - 15% Conclusion: Will definitely come back to try rest of menu. read more
