Stopped in here on our way to a show and this was exactly what we needed! When you enter, you have to climb a flight of stairs up to the main restaurant. The restaurant was warm and inviting with comfortable booth seating options as well as tables to seat large groups. The staff was very friendly and gave us speedy service, which was great because we had to leave for our show. Between the two of us, we split a plate of Lo Mein, General Gao's chicken and Crab rangoons. They gave us large servings of each dish, we ended up with leftovers to go (which is always exciting). This is a great option if you are craving Chinese food in the Lexington area! read more

I have been to thousands of restaurants during my time. Beijing Chinese in Lexington, MA is one of the worst when it comes to customer service. Today Christmas Day my family wanted to do something different for dinner we decided to go to the restaurant mentioned above. Upon arrival no smiling, rudeness, I said Merry Christmas cold response back. I went to pay because it was a pickup with Apple Pay the reader did not work I used my American Express not work the response I got was I don't know some cards work and some don't. I had to pull out my hard card to use and it went through. I don't like to throw racism in my experience however this is not the first time having this experience with this particular restaurant. And paying over $140 for 3 meals. Not extremely happy about this experience. read more

Beijing Chinese Dining - Picture of meal skimpy on serving - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

If there were half stars, I'd probably give a 3.5, but I'm rounding up to 4 because I would go back for sure. I started with a mai tai which was just ok. They don't have a lot of tiki cocktails on the menu but maybe they can make the basics. I'll try something else next time. For an appetizer we got crab Rangoon. It was minimally stuffed and not very good. It should be avoided. Dinner was much better. The half peking duck was good. The meat was excellent and the veggies were fresh, though the pancakes were more like a tortilla than a traditional peking pancake. The spicy sautéed cabbage was amazing. I highly recommend the cabbage, particularly with the duck. The service was efficient even though the dining room was pretty crowded. The atmosphere is nice, above average for a traditional Chinese restaurant. Bottom line: I'm looking for a Chinese restaurant near by to be my go to. I'm not sure this is it, but I would go back again. read more

One of the most impressive and delicious Chinese restaurants I encountered (in the US) was not in any metropolitan city Chinatown but here where the birthplace of our country all began: between the towns of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts! Stopped by here coming back from a lovely excursion to Walden Pond on a misty October afternoon. We were a tad peckish having spent hours walking around the pond, exploring the autumn-colored woods, and viewing the exhibits at the Thoreau visitor center. As such, we found parking close by to this restaurant near Lexington and decided to see how the cuisine compared to our own Chinatown. We were amazed. Scottish novelist Mary Stewart once quipped: "Hunger is the best sauce"... she was right. At least it was hard to tell if being wet, cold, but reinvigorated by the unsurpassed beauty of Walden played a role in our assessment but we certainly ordered more than we could handle at one sitting! The food was amazing! The eggplant and wood ear fungus was superb. The spicy chicken shezchuan was hot both ways! (The way we like it but rarely encountered) The shrimp stuffed eggplant was innovative and scrumptious. Would definitely return to sample more of their menu on our next trip to Walden. Mahalo for reading my review. read more

This is a long overdue review for my favorite Chinese restaurant in greater Boston. Food 5/5 We have been here eight times and tried over 20 dishes. The food quality is always good. Our favorites include the Hong Kong style ginger scallion twin lobsters, sauteed conch with vegetables, ginger calamari, sliced beef and tendon with chili sauce, beef with bitter melon, chicken with snow peas and mushrooms, vegetarian delight, family style tofu, Ma Po tofu, dry fried beef chow fun, Singapore rice noodles, teapot stand with garlic sauce, and the morning glory with fermented bean curd. We lived in LA's San Gabriel Valley and frequently visit Hong Kong, and I would say that this Lexington restaurant will do very well in those competitive areas. It is certainly better than the competition in Boston and Quincy. Ambient and location 4/5 Nice, well appointed, clean place with outdoor and indoor dining options. It's also located in a nice little area work lots of small businesses, and nice to see people walking around. Parking is super easy on streets and parking lots. Service 4.5/5 Service is great for this price point and by Chinese restaurant standards. We never had to wait long for get the staff's attention, and they are very efficient. read more

We went there 6-22-25 before a Concert and the food was fantastic we just got appetizers chicken fingers / wings / crab Rangoon and Pork Fried Rice and it was it was extra crispy the way I like and the rice was Cooked to order and out of this world not too much onions or scallions and that was Nice but the only thing I didn't like was the fact that they did have my favorite ultra beer I had to have bud light but I would Definitely Go Back read more

Good food. Good service. Good ambience. Good food. Good service. Good ambience. Good food. Good service. Good ambience.

Went for lunch with a large group (10). They were very accomodating and easily gave us separate checks. We all had the lunch special which included a main dish, rice, choice of spring roll or crab rangoon and hot and sour soup. The soup was quite hot - some in group could not eat it but I managed although it was quite hot. I had the shrimp stuffed eggplant which was very good. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they ordered. Portions were good size. read more

Ordered moo shu pork and received stir fried baby bok choy with mushrooms, egg, and a few bits of meat. You would think they had mixed up the order had they not served it with hoisin and pancakes. They also served burning hot soup dumplings without spoons. Food was mediocre at best. With so many wonderful dining choices nearby, I would not recommend. read more

Food wasn't as good as it was before. A good option for food in the center but I thought the food was OK. Kind staff and lots of seating though! read more

Decided to pop in while exploring Lexington Center, and I'm so glad I did! I really enjoyed my meal here but will say it was a bit on the pricer end for what you get. The waitress was very nice, and the restaurant was very clean. I will be back! read more

Average, very Americanized, toned down, lacking flavor. OK quality of ingredients. Just not as tasty as it could be.

Dining experience has declined over the years. Service & food is not as good. 1 person was seating, serving and taking care of checks during an early afternoon mid-week. That made for longer wait times. Interior was clean and comfortable. Food was subpar. Fried rice was not as expected. It was white rice with minimal amount of vegetables a ordering white rice which comes without vegetables. No, it's not actual fried and dark in color. The complimentary soup was extremely thick & sticky. Not the usual broth. It was such an odd consistency, it was close to Nickelodeon's slime. (Sad to say). read more

Excellent lunch. Food yummy. Good prices. Atmosphere really lovely. Good service. Will definitely return!

It's hard to find authentic Chinese food (not chinese american food) outside of Chinatown...until you come here. My family friend who I've known almost my entire life owns this restaurant! She is one of the sweetest and most hard-working boss ladies out there. My family and I come here frequently not only because we love the owner, but also because of the service, dining decor, food, drinks, price, and the location is spot on. Now, let's talk about the DELICIOUS food. The food comes out timely and so flavorful! All of the dishes I have tried are always on point and make me feel like I'm eating food I grew up with! They also recently added a healthy menu which has many steamed items with more vegetables and proteins, yet so satisfying. I love a restaurant that cares about taste and health at the same time. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Small Smelt which are deep-fried fish that are thin. You can still eat the bone by the way because it is quite thin. If you love Scallion Pancakes or anything savory, fried, and flavorful, then please order yourself these at this place! These are extra special here because they are made from scratch instead of most restaurants where they heat up store-bought frozen sheets of scallion... If you're lucky, you may be treated with an off the menu delicious dessert: a fried sticky rice, sweet sesame, and peanut pancake. I can't forget about the bar! You can basically get anything you like here. The fish bowls are very fun too. There is big parking lot in the back with meters that aren't too expensive. In front there is street parking all over the center. The restaurant maybe a bit harder to find so remember it is on the second floor and there is a sign in the front. We prefer parking in the back and walking into the brick building next to CVS and a froyo place. read more

Beijing House seems to be one of those restaurants with a very high Asian following and for good reason the food is well prepared and quite good. The Hot and Sour Soup is one of the better ones I've had with a nice balance of sour, hot spice and requisite Chinese vegetables. The Spring Rolls were well above average, not greasy, just a very nice crunchy exterior and the filling was perfect, delicious over all. The Mapo Tofu didn't quite have the bold Mala flavor I was hoping for but the Silky tofu and flavor from the ground pork, spices and sauce were enough to carry the dish over the finish line. This was a very nice Chinese luncheon experience. I can recommend the Beijing House if you are out and about in that area and are looking for some authentic Chinese cuisine read more

Beijing Chinese Dining - Dining space - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

This restaurant has been a staple for many who want to enjoy an authentic Chinese food experience in the area. My family and I have been coming to Beijing for many years and every meal has been memorable. Despite the global pandemic, the restaurant and staff have taken heavy precautions to ensure all diners are safe while enjoying their meal. They have plenty of gorgeous outdoor seating available on their patio that is perfect for the warm summer weather. One of our favorite appetizers is scallion pancakes with beef and side of cucumbers which is always tasty and customizable. We also ordered spicy cumin lamb and twin lobsters which were prepared in a dry-fried style. There are also plenty of vegetable dishes to accommodate your meal and the full bar is also a perfect addition to your dine out experience! If you're ever in the area and looking for delicious Chinese food, Beijing is the top pick. read more

Went for a weekday dinner, and had a filling, yummy meal with authentic flavors. Would come back again! We ordered the west lake beef soup (perfect dish for a cold day, good balance of cilantro flavor and meat, good consistency), peapod stems (tender), and shrimp w/tofu (cooked with too much soy sauce), and Peking duck (my favorite dish - delicious with soft buns, fresh vegetables, flavorful sauce, crispy skin and lots of meat). We also asked if they had a peanut sticky rice dessert from their dim sum menu and they did (a sweet end to our meal). Also, the restaurant itself is clean with pretty decorations, and servers were attentive to our needs. read more

With the hope of finding a few authentic Chinese dishes in this restaurant, it turned out to be a little disappointed. We ordered jellyfish with cucumber (good), Chinese spaetzle and egg drop soup (ok), shrimp stuff eggplant in black sauce (ok), sauteed sea conch with mixed vegetables (ok), salt & pepper small smelt (good but not crispy enough), and pot-roast pork with scallion pancake platter (ok). The service was good and the place is big and clean. read more

Overall 5 Stars! Good food, nice service, beautiful patio, easy parking... at the heart of Lexington! I will definitely go back again and again. Food: 4 stars. I had higher expectations before going. I moved from Beijing to New England 11 years ago. And the authentic Beijing style restaurant is a thing I've been seeking for years in Boston area. Well it's hard to get it right in New England, as there aren't many good Beijing chiefs around. But the food is delicious! So minus one start as it's not very authentic Beijing menu, but they did their best already and I should say they are one of the best in the area. You should try their recommended items and you may discover your own favorite dishes. I personally will recommend their dumplings, green onion pancakes, and their vegetable dishes. Environment: 5 starts. Clean, cozy, and welcoming. The dining environment can be on textbooks as a good example. Plus their patio is right there at the heart of Lexington. I will definitely try the patio option next time. It's beautiful! Service: 5+ stars. Amazing service was provided by everyone from the waiters to the manager. I can imagine that we were that kind of tough table because we had 9 adults and 3 little kids who would need high chairs. You know what? They handled everything well and provided extremely professional and friendly service. Good job! Misc.: Parking is really easy, the parking lot is right next to the restaurant. And, they have a interesting drink menu, which I will definitely take a closer look next time. Yep, I will go there again, sit in the patio area, and order some good drinks to go with my dumplings! read more

I went to this restaurant with a friend recently! We ordered a beef and a chicken dish to share ! I forget the exact names, sorry ! I have to say this was some of the best tasting Asian cuisine I have ever had! It was absolutely delicious and we couldn't stop eating it! The prices are reasonable and the service was great! Check this place out if you are in the area! read more

Delightful varied menus with attentive service and well prepared drinks love their soups especially Seafood with tofu

I want my money back!!!!!!! I got like really basic chicken or whatever - and it was covered in a WACKY "glaze" - tasted like sweet varnish. Chicken was meh. My cutie bf got General Gao's.......OMG IT WAS SOOOOOO BAD. Not one piece of chicken was edible!!!!! I spat out every bite that I tried. My bf thought that was gross of me but nonetheless, in his soul, he totally agreed with me. 10/10 recommend you just get McDonald's instead tbh!!!!! P.S. I cook better rice at home and I don't even go here!!! read more

Lunch General Gau's Chicken (11.50). This was a strange one, most of the pieces were dark chicken with a very thin batter. About half were just batter with a few slivers of chicken. A very small amount of sauce, extra spicy didn't work. The spring roll was surprisingly good. The fried rice was proper Chinese fried rice and was excellent. The chicken was a total failure. read more

Bad delivery experience. My daughter ordered chicken lo mein through Door Dash. They delivered chicken fried rice - not interested. I called the restaurant. They acknowledged that it was their mistake and told us it would be delivered "shortly". It never came. So they made a mistake, I gave them a chance to fix it, and they couldn't pull that off. read more

Good - The waiter we had was kind and attentive for the most part, but seemed a bit distracted/stressed, which is understandable in any restaurant. The hostess not so much. It's a nice layout with indoor and outdoor seating. Although the prices were way too high for the quality of food. The Peking ravioli wasn't quite the ticket, but may be an acquired taste. I've had better. The Crab Rangoon was okay...not much inside, spring rolls were small but okay, general tzos chicken wasnt fresh, the sauce was too gooey, fried rice didn't look fried and was rather dull. The food was edible but after a bite, you're not really wanting another. When the bill came - almost $100 for a couple sub par appetizers and a main course. The kick to the wallet was no where near worth it, read more

This is located in an area where when you walk in you think oh we're at a decent sit down Chinese restaurant in a nice town, not a random take out place. However, about the same effort is put it there is just more seating. The dishes are chipped etc. See pics. How do you mess up Hot and Sour soup? The dumplings were so bland. You can do better at the Food Court. Oh and the garbage gnat flying around our table when the food came out. Can't forget that one. read more

Dinner Review: My friends and I came to Beijing Chinese Dining around 6:45pm on a weekday and were seated promptly. The dishes we ordered were quite good. we had Beijing Dumplings, Beijing Beef, Eggplant, Veggie Delight, Water cooked Fish and scallion pancakes. The dishes weren't too heavy and the food was cooked well and arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Service was a bit slow and the wait staff had to be reminded a couple times to have utensils and tea. Overall, the food was good, the service was questionable and the prices were reasonable. I'd most likely come back again. Protip: Beijing is located on the 2nd floor and I am unsure if there is an elevator in the front entrance. Restaurant was very clean. read more

Amazing food and service every time we have been there! We drive all the way from New Hampshire to eat at Beijing, definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in New England area! read more

I would probably give this place 3.5 stars if I can. The food tastes good, but not impressive. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean, which is a plus. It is on the pricier side of Chinese restaurants too. Some dishes we tried were too salty or too sticky, but still tasted slightly better than some of the other nearby Chinese restaurants. The service was kind of slow. It took quite some time to get our food. Our server was very nice and helpful though. We will probably come again, just because it is close by and slightly better than other Chinese restaurants in town. read more

As much as I love authentic ethnic dining, my experience at Beijing Chinese Dining was a huge disappointment. The optics of the restaurant are very appealing - clean, plenty of seating, outdoor patio, indoor space warm and inviting. Even the menu is impressive with lots of options in every food category. And, that's were it ends. I'm a firm believer in getting value for the price; however, in the case of each dish we ordered that consideration did not hold. Even with a heavy dose of soy sauce, the eight (8) steamed shrimp filled dumplings were bland and tasteless. The dough was starchy and chewy. The stuffing was bland. The two entrees, chicken and walnuts and seafood egg foo young, were equally disappointing. The chicken and walnuts was overcooked and dry to the touch and taste. The seafood egg foo young was nothing more than an omelette prepared in oil [so much oil that it dominated the flavor]. I get no pleasure from these comments. I could wax on about the attitude of the servers, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think that would even matter. Hopefully the Beijing Chinese Dining people will learn what their customers think about their restaurant operation. read more

It is 5 am and I am in pain. I'll be honest, I'm only eating a meal a day during these harrowing times and so I know that this place is for sure the culprit. I got the fried rice with shrimp and it was spoiled. The shrimp has just gone bad and now I am paying the price for eating a bit. I also tipped 20% for the take out order (because I wanted to support a local business) and asked for napkins. Eh? 2 napkins on a very big tab? Heaven help me. read more
