    Food was actually delicious. I do have one comment/criticism that I feel the need to express and let the management/owner know... talking about societal norms. This is regarding the big sign/ads that is taking up a huge space on each of the dining table... See attached picture. I found it quite annoying how much you'd have to do to get their "free" mere $7 worth of mochi dessert. Not must recommend to a friend! You just recommend to THREE friends (or to a chat group), per their requirement!!! Or if post on IG, etc, you'd have to talk abt the experience and what not. Provide the ADDRESS! Whoa. Who on social media still uses addresses provided by their friends -- pretty sure these days folks just have Google Maps point out where so and so is located... For the management: the trend today, you just have to follow them or Yelp abt them, and you'd get the free mochi... not write a novel with all the names and locations and publish it to the whole world... and in case you're wondering why there probably aren't that many customers desperate enough to claim your free mochi, maybe because of the voluminous requirements you impose for claiming the "free" mochi. I thought I get this off my chest.

    I've been meaning to try this place and finally went on a Saturday for lunch! It is a small restaurant and got busy pretty fast! We got the combo meal, small tomato with fish&beef with the fried pork and fried fish skins. The portion was bigger than I thought! It was so good and flavorful! The only thing is I wish there were more options for non spicy, tomato was the only option on the menu. I love that the food also came out so quickly! This combo for 2 people definitely could've been for 3! You definitely get a good amount of food for the price. I definitely recommend trying this place out!

    Service was quick and efficient! Inside is pretty small, casual and cozy. We got the combo pot with fish soup, cucumber salad, and chicken stomach. Everything was very tasty! My favorite though was the free milk mochi we got. So milky, soft, and chewy! Very filling meal for reasonable price.

    Highly recommend trying this place if you like 酸菜鱼 (spicy sour flavor on the menu)! Fish is definitely the way to go. Not sure why beef is an option, but if you're feeling adventurous, that's something new to try. We got the combo for 3 and I find it pretty worth the value. The sides are actually bigger than expected and they really filled us up. The spicy chicken and pork belly sides are amazing. We also got the fried milk custard since it seems very popular, but I think it's just okay. You will need to ask for the "dipping sauces" or they'll come plain. Service is fast, tables were pretty spread out which was nice. No issues finding a table during lunch on a weekend.

    Another hotpot style soup restaurant on Harvard Ave. I came on a weeknight for dinner with a friend and we ordered the vine pepper numbing since we didn't want the super spicy szechaun red peppers. We got it with noodles, lotus root, and fried buns. This soup was delicious and definitely still very spicy! The noodles were chewy and bouncy. Thankfully the fried buns helped to take away some of the spice. When we finished our meal, the takeout container was very sturdy and you could put it right back on your stove to heat up and enjoy again for another meal. If you're looking for a spicy soup, I would recommend coming to try this place!

    Yeah I'm going back. Whoever lives in Allston please do me a favor and put us on the waitlist and you can eat with us but actually food was great, even in the dead of summer the fish was so enjoyable. Small footprint but they utilize their space well.

    The pickled fish soup was the absolute highlight of the meal. The broth was rich and fragrant without being overly oily, with a perfect balance of sourness and savory depth. The fish slices were incredibly tender and fresh, soaking up all the flavor without falling apart. I also loved the addition of garlic, dried chilies, and pickled greens--they added layers of aroma and a gentle kick rather than overwhelming heat. Portions were generous and ideal for sharing, and it paired really well with the noodles and cold dishes we ordered on the side. Overall, this dish felt comforting yet bold, and you could tell it was made with care. Definitely something I'd come back for again.

    This pickled fish really has to be the green peppercorn (tengjiao) flavor--it's the best Highly recommend adding yuba (tofu skin), luncheon meat, and wide glass noodles. Honestly, I super recommend this place overall. The watermelon juice is also really good!! Tastes like it's freshly squeezed And the fern root noodles are delicious too!

    B2J is another tasty option added to the Allston Asian food scene. It is located in a tiny space tangential to the main road. The restaurant itself has only 8-10 tables, so getting there at open or joining the wishlist is very important. The restaurant specializes in spicy hot and sour soup with your choice of veggies and meat. We opted the boiled fish with the spicy and pickled vegetables. You can also pick multiple sides to go with the main meal. So tasty! The service is very on top of it as they need to be because the line is always so long. Great restaurant!

    Great new addition to Allston. The taste of the signature soup is great and balanced. They serve not hot tea alongside your meal. Be sure to arrive early and get on the waitlist because the wait builds very quickly!

    Recommended by my friend, this pan-fried bun生煎 place isn't far from MFA Boston. The little place is…read moreincredibly popular and well-known among Boston's Chinese student community. Shanghai Classic Pork Pan-Fried Buns上海生煎饅頭: I was instantly hooked! It's hard to imagine finding such good pan-fried buns in the US. Almost every table ordered them, so they were all freshly made, piping hot. The bun was made with unleavened dough, making it chewy and refreshing, with a light, crispy bottom--not oily or hard. The meat filling was substantial and tender, with plenty of broth (see picture). It was sweeter than salty, incredibly umami. The chili oil was also very fragrant, and dipping it in Zhenjiang vinegar enhanced the flavor and cut through the greasiness. Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetable Noodle Soup雪菜肉絲麵: The noodles were thin and round, with a soft, mushy texture. While the noodles were clearly machine-made, this isn't a problem in the Yangtze River Delta region; the issue was likely overcooking. The shredded pork were well-stirred, with tender meat, but the noodles lacked flavor. They had to be eaten with the pickled mustard greens雪菜 to be slightly salty, and the umami flavor was severely diluted. The tableware is all disposable, and tipping is not mandatory. It's quite affordable.

    First time seeing authentic Shanghai pan fried buns in US, I must say! From the look to the taste,…read moreI couldn't stop smiling, that's how it was supposed to be made! Highly recommend.

    Walking to the St. Mary's St station to wait for the train, I looked up and saw Li Yin Rice Roll…read moreacross the street! I instantly teleported to the shop to show my support. Both Cantonese and Mandarin were seamlessly spoken. Shrimp Rice Roll / Egg: It looked very appealing. However, the soy sauce was ridiculously sweet, much sweeter than in China, completely exceeding the standard "umami and sweet" of the authentic Cantonese cheung fun腸粉 (rice roll) soy sauce. The cheung fun skin was somehow overcooked, so some parts without egg at the bottom were soggy from soaking in the soy sauce, making the whole roll quite greasy. I have to admire my culinary acumen: I managed to preserve most of the skin's basic texture with the extra egg. Fortunately, the shrimp were fresh enough, six in a serving, with a crispy texture. Oh well, since I'm in America, it's tolerable. I must say, I would never have come here specifically for this, never in my life. Spending $10+ on a plate of cheung fun after traveling so far, will make me feel more like a sucker than ever before!

    Great Hong Kong dining experience!…read more Located in Brookline on Beacon Street with abundant street parking, Liyin is a great walk-in option for breakfast lunch or dinner. They specialize in rice rolls with different fillings as well as porridge with a variety of toppings. We tried multiple items and I especially enjoyed the Shrimp Rice Roll! We also tried the Beef Chow Fun which was great and very flavorful. We also tried the Pineapple Fried Rice which was incredible! I don't usually like fried rice or pineapple but I really loved this dish--highly recommend. My friends also loved the Soybean Milk which comes out piping hot and sweet. Overall would definitely come back for a quick and yummy meal.

It was crispy outside and very juicy…read moreand tender inside, the flavor was perfectly balanced with salty, peppery, and chili seasoning. Beef and tripe was very well seasoned and no weird taste at all. The duck blood is the best duck blood in Boston, very tender and delicious. The cost of the dishes surprisingly a little bit cheaper than other restaurants. Even though the restaurant was super super busy, a lot of people waiting for a seat, and there was only one server, a very friendly man, we had water refilled and all the dishes arrived quickly. The service was great. Because the food was so good, many people willing to wait for a seat. I love the small busy restaurant kind of ambience. I will definitely go back soon!

    A solid Chinese restaurant for the area. I have been to its Weymouth location. Not sure if this…read morelocation is newer than Weymouth or not. Limited street parking out front, but there are more street metered parking on the side street (next to the green line). The restaurant is much smaller than the Weymouth location, and the menu selection is also different. The server asked me to scan the QR code on the table for the menu, so I'm not sure if they have a paper menu. You can place the order directly via the QR code. I requested one dish to be non-spicy, and they were able to accommodate that. The only thing was that both dishes were a little bit too salty than my liking. I came here during a weekday lunch, and it wasn't super busy. I would return again.
