    N1 Pork Chop W. Orange Sauce 香橙骨

    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.

    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!

    Fresh steamed fish
    Hubert H.

    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!!!

    Salt and pepper chicken wings - a must-order!
    Katie H.

    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.

    B13 Crab Rangoon (12 Pieces)
    Kayla G.

    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

    Ate chicken satay sauce and spicy chicken wings! Loved them both! They were very yummy and delicious! Chicken satay sauce will give you warm and smoky flavor, something you want to eat on a cold windy night! Spicy chicken wings! What to say! They had great flavors and unexpectedly very yummy and crispy covering! Don't forget to have the chilly oil and hot cha at the table The owners were very welcoming and greeted with

    Beef tendon soup
    Tuli S.

    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!

    Coconut chicken hot pot
    Mike S.

    Even though this place looks kind of shady and old, the food is incredible. It's very authentic Cantonese food and there are so many things to choose. My friend and I got coconut hot pot. It was incredible! The chicken and beef were so tender and the soup base was delicious. Come here early! It can get quite busy.

    Beef chow foon
    Nikolai K.

    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.

    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!

    Pan fried noodles with soy sauce
    Jimmy N.

    Decided to get a simple meal for dinner tonight. Tried their pan fried style noodles with soy sauce for the first time . I must say, it was pretty good. The flavor is there. Definitely will get it again! Paired it with spicy salt and pepper chicken wings. Simple and satisfying !

    Spicy salt and pepper fried chicken - do it
    Jingwen Z.

    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.

    My favorite Italian in Boston, no competition. Cash only!…read more The Daily Catch's original location in the North End on Hanover St is one of my favorite places to take first-time visitors to Boston. The calamari, squid ink aglio olio pasta, and clam pasta have been my go-to orders since I found out about Daily Catch a few years back. My favorite bite has to be some of their bread dipped in the delicious garlic oil from the squid ink pasta with a bit of the garlic chunks and squid bits. It truly brings me joy. My friend recently recommended I try their shrimp scampi, either as an appetizer or as a pasta dish. This will definitely become part of my regular order - the shrimp are so plump and they're smothered in this savory, rich, garlicky sauce that is simply to die for. All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. Can't speak to their non-seafood options, but when it comes to seafood pasta, there is absolutely no competition. For ambiance, it is a bit tight in there but think of it as your classic mom and pop Italian restaurant, who treat you with such hospitality and kindness like an Italian nonna - quick and easy service

Raw clams were fresh and the Frutti Di Mare was great. I typically order fried Calamari, but decided to try the salad this time. That was my mistake as it was definitely not my preference. Overall, this probably wouldn't be my go to spot, but I had a good time. Our waiter was friendly.

    Saltie Girl was easily one of our favorite meals in Boston…read more We had heard so much about Saltie Girl and knew how popular it was, so we made sure to get a reservation. Even going in the middle of the week, almost every normal lunch time slot was already booked. We managed to snag a 2:45 PM reservation, and when we arrived, it was VERY clear why reservations are a good idea. The place was still packed! The outdoor patio was completely full, but luckily we had booked indoor seating. Honestly, it worked out perfectly. We got to enjoy the beautiful interior and restaurant atmosphere while escaping the Boston humidity. We were warmly greeted and seated right away. Service throughout our meal was friendly, quick, and attentive, especially considering how busy they were. The menu is fairly small, but there was still so much we wanted to try. We started with the Hamachi Tartare, made with yuzu leche de tigre, serrano, Sweety Drop peppers, and macadamia nuts. This was such a refreshing start. Bright, citrusy, slightly spicy, and full of different textures without overpowering the hamachi. Of course, we HAD to order the famous New England Lobster Roll. We opted for the cold version, and it absolutely lived up to our expectations. There was plenty of lobster, and the flavor was fresh and clean without being overly dressed. Definitely one of my favorite lobster rolls from our Boston trip. The Jonah Crab Carbonara was another standout. Spaghetti with crab, corn, chanterelles, pecorino, and preserved lemon made for such an interesting combination. It was rich and comforting, but the preserved lemon helped brighten everything up so it didn't feel too heavy. My partner ordered the Saltie Girl Clam Chowder, made with potatoes, celery, bacon, and fried clams. He could NOT stop talking about it afterward. Out of all the chowders he tried during our trip, this was his favorite. It clearly left an impression because he was still bringing it up later in the trip! Even the warm house-made artisanal bread with sea salt butter deserves a mention. Sometimes bread and butter is just bread and butter...but this was absolutely worth ordering. And because we were in Boston, there was no way we were skipping the freshly shucked oysters. We tried the Unicorn Pink from Damariscotta, Maine, which was medium-large, deep and meaty with a mineral finish. The Rocky Nook from Kingston, Massachusetts was much larger, with a medium brine, silky texture, and buttery-sweet finish. Lastly, the Paine's Creek from Brewster, Massachusetts was smaller with a clean brine and a really nice sweet citrus finish. Trying all three side by side was such a fun way to taste how different each oyster could be. For drinks, we kept things simple with a pint of beer and their Frosé Spritz, which was especially refreshing on a warm and humid afternoon. From start to finish, everything we ordered was delicious. There really wasn't a dish we regretted ordering. If I had to pick the most memorable items, it would be the cold lobster roll for me and the clam chowder for my partner. Those were the dishes we were still talking about afterward. The only downside is that Saltie Girl is clearly very popular, so getting a prime reservation can be difficult. The menu is also on the smaller side, so if you're looking for a massive seafood menu with endless choices, this isn't really that kind of restaurant. But what they do offer feels intentional and very well executed.

The filet was cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're paying steakhouse prices. The lobster tail was fresh and very good, although honestly, it ended up playing third wheel to the steak and potatoes. And those potatoes... GET. THE. POTATO. GRATIN. Seriously. I don't know what kind of buttery, cheesy sorcery was happening back there, but they were ridiculously good. Perfectly cooked, rich without being overwhelming, and easily my favorite thing on the table. I would have considered ordering a second one if I had any dignity left. I was in town for a conference and came here for an 8 p.m. dinner. Service was prompt, professional, and attentive, and the atmosphere hit that sweet spot of feeling upscale without making you feel like you need to whisper and discuss your investment portfolio. The steak and potato gratin alone earned the five stars. The lobster was basically a very tasty bonus. Highly recommended. And I cannot stress this enough: Order. The. Potatoes.

    This place was highly recommended by friends who live in the area and i can totally understand why!…read moreOne of the best lobster rolls we've have in boston. There is so much lobster meat in the roll that we were struggling to take a bite. The mac and cheese also had a lot of lobster meat! Every bite had more lobster than mac. Both were very delicious! Crab cake was also yummy and a decent size especially given the price. Lobster bisque was okay, the clam chowder was definitely better in our opinion. You can order from both the truck and inside the trailer. If you just want the main items (lobster roll and soups), the truck would probably be a quicker option. If you want the specialty items like the crab cake or mac and cheese, you could only get that inside the trailer. Overall service was super quick, so i would choose based on what you want to order. Also plenty of seating available. Most are outdoor under an umbrella but there are a few enclosed areas next to the truck. Staff is very quick to wipe tables down so the turnover is super fast.
