Humm ordered the 2 item clay pot rice and disappointed for $21 there weren't any meat, mostly burnt rice ‍!

Oooh love this place!!! We usually get a few rice noodle rolls and a clay pot to share. The rice noodle rolls are the thin wrinkled kind not the smooth rolled kind commonly found at dim sum places, but I think these are better! The texture is super soft and delicate and fun :) Both soy sauces (different for rice roll versus clay pot) are v tasty too. We've tried most of their rice noodle rolls and almost all their clay pots and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Pro tip: try adding an egg to the rice roll for a different flavor. Service is friendly and fast as well! Definitely worth the big fun trek from Boston hahaha read more

This is a hole in the wall but one of the best homey Chinese food around Quincy. Service was pleasant and quick. Place is small with about 5 tables so expect to wait during busy time or weekends. Highly recommend their Shrimp Steamed Rice Roll and Eel Rice Clay Pot. Delish! I will be back. read more

The wait time is extremely long. The rice rolls are good but it takes 30min of waiting time. Everything else besides the rice rolls taste very very bad. The clay pot rice is bland. The watercress vegetable is not even chewable. read more

Twas a solid takeout meal. My partner and I ordered pork w preserved egg congee, Chinese sausage & bacon clay pot rice, whole five flavors duck, and the fried dough rice roll - TASTE: 4/5 - the congee was the only dish that I thought could've used more oomph, as I was expecting the rice to have absorbed more of the pork's flavor. Otherwise, the Chinese sausage shone in the clay pot rice, the duck was super tasty w the accompanying sauce, and you can't go wrong w a rice roll wrapped outside of fried dough! TEXTURE: 4/5 - good all around, from creamy congee and crispy rice to tender duck and slippery rolls PRICE: 5/5 - the price points are really reasonable here! SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - had enough leftovers for the next day. We realized, though, that the whole-size duck was two takeout containers. So we'd prob choose the half-size in one container next time SERVICE: 4/5 - ordered online through Big Fun Cafe's website and our food was ready in 30min TAKEOUT: 4/5 - appreciated that they poked holes through some of the styrofoam containers to let steam out PARKING: 3/5 - Brook St is a tight, one-way street, so most people park quickly to grab their takeout read more

So this pandemic has left a lot of people missing their favorite meals from their favorite restaurants. My biggest cravings are the great DIm Sum selections and the local specials at the restaurants that cater to the large Asians communities especially in Quincy. So I'll bookmarked quite a few of these restaurants to visit and Big Fun Cafe was 1 of my bookmarked establishments. So I eventually found my way to this restaurant and realized I was in this neighborhood a few months back when I tried the Mei Mei Bakery for the first time. Which is located on just the next street corner. Which the bakery is currently closed for now I assume during the Covid restrictions, I hope. So I place a take out order over the phone while I was in Stoughton and figured that will give them ample time to Get the order ready by the time I arrive. So the woman that answered my call was very helpful and patient since I had a few questions regarding their dishes and I wanted her help on some selections that I had her recommend. And here are the dishes and ratings 1-10 Har Gow 5 (thick skinned possible frozen product) Shei Mei 3 (definitely the frozen product, the type you get at the Asian markets and in the bento box versions) Fried dough rice roll 8 (nice textures on the fried dough and the steamed rice rolls) Steamed beef rice rolls w/egg 9 (definitely different for the tea house versions, kinda reminds me it home made) Steamed shrimp rice rolls w egg 9 Steamed roast pig rice rolls 6 (did not find the roast pork to blend well in this version) Beef stew steamed rice roll 9 (beef tripe stew top over steamed rice rolls) House fried rice 7 (Chinese bacon and sausage fried rice) House special 1/2 chicken 9 (was pleasantly surprised on how fresh this chicken was. And it was delicious. So for this little tiny, and I mean really tiny restaurant to be able to offer so much on their menu is mind boggling! I felt like I was inside a food truck, that's how tight this place was. I can't imagine them having 5 tables in here it would be impossible to maneuver around. Street parking only and that maybe a challenge that's a really tight street to have parking on both side of the street. Take out may be the best option. Do try this restaurant, the rice rolls are definitely worth it alone. read more

My go to spot for Cantonese food after a long day of work in the area. The har cheung are thinner than the usual fare served at dim sum restaurants but are nevertheless still delicious. Their beef chow foon is also quite good and comparable to the fare at other restaurants in Chinatown. They also offer the Sprite with salt and lemon, which is a drink unique to Hong Kong. Their soy milk is also nothing to sneeze at. Worth a trek out here if you want some Cantonese food at a quiet, cozy, low frills establishment. IG: Feastcoastoffense read more

I came here to order steamed rice rolls for take-out, which ended up taking about an hour to retrieve due to how busy and packed they were. I recommend ordering ahead either online or by phone or else you will be stuck waiting for ages. I got the shrimp rice roll and fried dough rice roll. Both of which were great in portion and taste. I was really full after eating two of these so for people with smaller stomachs, one should honestly suffice. Although the wait was long, the people there were nice. They accidentally gave my order to the woman before me and gave me a free soy milk as compensation while I waited for them to remake it. read more

I've been really homesick and missing my grandparents so I decided to try this place and order my favorites. This my new comfort food spot now:) I love how soft and fresh the noodles are. The congee was flavorful and I love the crispy part of the claypot rice. read more

This place specialized in rice noodles, clay pots, and soy milk. Located on the corner this place is very small! Only about 4 tables. We came in maybe 30 minutes before closing so there were no lines. The staff was pretty attentive and friendly with giving recommendations. The rice noodles were so hot and fresh! Liked that they added some greens to it. The eggplant was really good and tender. On the more oily side- so be aware. The beef brisket clay pot was really good. The star of the show was the clay pot soy sauce in the container on the table. I also noticed almost everyone ordered their drinks- soy milk or a cold tea. The soy milk was really good and seemed fresh. I appreciate they have a bathroom for customers but it could use some help/cleaning up..( you do also have to walk thru the kitchen to the back to where the restroom is) Overall really good Asian food place in Quincy to check out!! read more

I love everything about Big Fun Cafe! The food is so delicious, price is so amazing, and the service/cashier who takes your order is so sweet. Cute little cafe everyone should try at least once. Inside, you'll see diverse customers -- all ethnic backgrounds --enjoying their food. Why? Likely because of the above mentioned--it's perfect place with delicious food, amazing price and awesome service! Will definitely visit again and visit frequently! read more

Wonderful hole in the wall joint for Cantonese favorites especially rice rolls (Chang fen). Street parking only. Fast friendly service . Indoor seating up to 6 people, but most tables for 2-4. We tried the you tiao, char siu, beef, shrimp, and spare rib chang fen and they were all delicious! The rice roll portion is very generous, more than I've had at other places, but still silly soft. They give you extra sauce at the table which we loved. The beef congee, hot soy milk, and watercress in broth were all delicious complements. We ordered way too much food though. Would stick with probably 1 Chang fen per person with some additional dishes for variety. Lots of takeout orders too. Highly recommend. read more

Only took pictures of the Chinese Sausage and Bacon Clay Pot Rice and Shrimp Steamed Rice Roll, but I also got the Spare Ribs with Black Beans Clay Pot Rice, Eel Clay Pot Rice, and Minced Beef with Pouch Egg Clay Pot Rice which were all delicious. My favorites were the Spare Ribs with Black Beans Clay Pot Rice and Chinese Sausage and Bacon Clay Pot Rice. Very authentic and delicious! The Shrimp Steamed Rice Roll is so good fresh, I would definitely recommend getting it! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The place is pretty small so I had to wait for ~20 Minutes for a table for four people. There is 2 hour parking on adjacent streets. read more

What a hole in the wall! I can't believe living in Boston for 30yrs and only recently tried this joint. The place is very small- 3 tables so we always do take outs. They're known for their clay pots and rice rolls. Very affordable! Went by today to grab lunch to try their Beef Offal(briskets and tripes) with Wonton noodle soup. It's not the prettiest bowl photo but it's delicious! read more

My search for rice rolls led me to Big Fun Cafe. The restaurant is known for their Cheng Fun (steamed rice rolls). I would say second to this popular dish is their clay pot rice. My family went on a weekend before Chinese New Years during lunch hours. Street parking on Brook Street was much easily than the busier main streets in Quincy on any typical weekend. The restaurant is located next to Fairy Cafe and very close proximity to the Wollaston T train stop. The restaurant is very tight. Upon entering, all tables were full so we waited for approximately 15-20 minutes for a table. There really is no standing room inside of the restaurant so my husband took our daughter to the car while I waited for our table. Each time someone entered or exited the restaurant, I felt bad for the table closest to the door as a cold blast of air came in each time the door opened. There were two families with children having lunch in the restaurant and about three couples, five tables. A review of the menu reminded me a lot of another restaurant that serves rice clay pot, Clay Pot Cafe on Kneeland Street in Chinatown. When I asked our server if the two restaurants were related somehow, he responded that the owners are his friend and that they came from the same town in China. There are a lot of similar dishes, however, what I would say sets Big Fun Cafe apart is their steamed rice rolls. There are several varieties of steamed rice rolls to try. The waitress recommended that we try one with added egg. We ended up ordering two kinds a we ordered the shrimp rice rolls and the roasted pork rice rolls with egg added. I would have to say that the added egg essentially changed the texture of the roll and of course added extra protein to the dish. I also recommend you try one with and one without eggs. I enjoyed both rolls. Honestly, nothing beats getting your steamed rice rolls fresh from the kitchen to the table. The rolls were thin as they should. We ordered the pork belly, Chinese sausage, and duck clay pot rice. The clay pot rice typically takes 15 minutes to prepare because they have to get the rice to burn (crisp) along the inside of the clay pot. The restaurant did a good job. I can't tell if the duck pieces was fried or smoked. Think tiny chopped up pieces of smoked duck with bone attached. That's what you are getting. I wished I had ordered the Eel clay pot rice with added egg since pictures look amazing. However, we also ordered a beef chow foon, which was just okay, and had plenty of food for two. The advertised fresh hot soy milk was room temperature and the waitress offered to add ice if we wanted it cold. I would stick with the herbal tea from the can instead. There are two sauces on each of the tables; one for the rice rolls and one for the clay pot. They are labeled so no fear! I do wish the sauces were a bit more flavorful. Other than that, no complaints. I recommend you come and give this restaurant a try if you are in the area. I would not make this a destination trip. Try to go early to avoid the line and also there seems to only be a limited amount served daily (50lbs rice flour). Service was all around great. See my pictures. read more

Be fully prepared to take home to eat because the interior is very small and is pretty packed most of the time! Very savory and delicious. The steamed rice rolls are made to order. The texture is soft and bouncy. I love the sauce as well. read more

Solid addition to Quincy for Chinese food and much different from Chinese restaurants nearby. Their menu is smaller and focused on clay pot rices and steamed rice noodles but they also have some appetizers. The curry fish balls were a nice starter. The curry was flavorful but the fish balls itself could be softer. The shrimp steamed rice roll was the highlight of the meal. The soy sauce that went with it was amazing and the rice roll itself had tons of flavorful. The clay pot rice was meh, definitely wouldn't get it again. They're extremely cheap with the meat and there was no crispy rice at all. read more

Hidden Gem in the Boston area!! It was my 1st time here, so I ordered the shrimp steamed rice roll with egg & the spear ribs w/ black beans clay pot rice with a side of yiu choy! OK, I was just blown how flavorful and authentic these dishes were! Our server/cashier was so helpful and friendly! She gave us detailed explanations of our dishes before we ordered (since she knew we were first timers), and showed us the sauces we can use for the clay pot! I was just so impressed! I will be a regular here! I can't wait to try their other dishes, especially their steamed rolls!! read more

I have been searching for a rice roll spot and came across this spot in Quincy. It's right at a T spot so pretty accessible via transit. This place is very small so expect a long wait time for tables. However if you come after lunch rush hour, you'll be able to get a spot easily. We got two types of rice rolls and their 2 combo clay pot rice. The rice rolls had the option of adding eggs and veggies. I also got the half tea-half coffee drink. The rice rolls were piping hot off the stove. The beef had more flavour compared to the rice dough, but both had great texture. The clay pot rice was crispy and flavourful. Will definitely be back! read more

Perfect when I'm looking for simple old fashioned HK rice plate, Beef with Choy Sum and Onions over Rice for $13.00.

I love chow fun so of course I had to swing by during my visit to Boston. This place specializes in chow fun so there's a variety of different chow fun options on the menu ranging from shrimp to beef and much more. The chow fun is a good enough size and serving for one person, there's also an add on option for you to add an egg which I did, yum. I also ordered the crispy fried wings, they were alright but I did appreciate it coming out piping hot. We also ordered the steamed spare ribs which came out in a huge metal tin bowl. Sheeeshh, it was a lot but so good. The seating is very limited, with around 4 tables total. All in all, I enjoyed it for what it was and my love for chow fun drove me out here. It's worth a try if you're around the area and love to have fun, chow fun ;) read more

Last month, I ordered a couple of times from this place. Their steamed rice rolls are usually pretty good, especially the char siu and beef brisket steamed rice rolls. The fried dough rice roll is a hit or miss. Sometimes, the fried dough inside was crispy and other times, it is a bit chewy. The soy sauce that accompanied the rice rolls is a bit salty compared to other dim sum places. The curry fish balls were not good. The curry sauce was way too watery. read more

It been a while that I order take out from here. Fried wonton was crispy but just meat (pork) and not oily. The rice roll kind of disappointing, it is too soft, it seem they added too much water for the batter. This time I ordered the beef and shrimp rice noodle. I preferred pork more than beef since there are no other places have pork rice noodle. This rice noodle is different from dim sum restaurants, so will order from here again if I am craving for it... the best rice noodle place for me is still in New York. read more

Big Fun south of Boston. Lazy weekday between Christmas and New Year so we decided to step out real quickly to get some rice rolls from the Big Fun Cafe. If you haven't tried cuisine from Guang Dong Provence and have a discernible set of taste buds, try out this cheap eat. "fun" translates to rice noodle. This is a unique taste sense for your palette if you are not familiarity it. Very soft - like an egg white from a soft poached egg if that makes sense. We initially said we would just get it to go but having no one eating inside at the time, decided to eat it there while it was hot. Totally forgot to take photos but showing the menu and receipt as proof. The first order was the Char Siu Steamed Rice Roll with egg added. I would tell you that this was pretty tasty and what I expected. We ended up ordering an extra for takeout. The other dish we ordered was the Beef Brisket Steamed Flat Noodle. This was good but certainly not the best that I have had as the brisket was not up to par as the cut of beef should have been. In addition to the extra Char Siu Steamed Rice Roll w/egg for takeout, we added a Beef Chow Fun dish. So if you are wanting to experiment and break the stereotype of all Chinese food either being Sichuan or Cantonese step out for some big fun at the Big Fun Cafe. You'll elevate your game with all of your liberal friends as you regale them if your experiences with Guang Dong cuisine and rice noodle dishes. read more

I can't believe I didn't rate this place yet. Big Fun only makes me more crave Cantonese food. The people are always cool, the service is quick, the vibe is always easy, and most of all, the food quality is solid.

This is the type of restaurant one would find in a local neighborhood in Guangzhou. The customers are a mix of working Chinese and hip Chinese students. The specialty is the handmade rice noodle rolls and the rice bowls staff can be intimidating if you don't speak Chinese except for the owner. I loved the scrambled egg and shrimp rolls. The chicken mushroom rice with crunchy crust. My mom would have loved eating here. read more

We started coming here whenever I'm craving a canto breakfast. Their steam rice rolls are pretty good, and they have a good HK style milk tea. My favorite is their clay pot rice, which is delicious and fairly crispy on the bottom. It takes about 20min to prepare though, since they make it fresh. I have tried their congee and youtiao too, which are pretty good. I definitely recommend this place for Chinese breakfast foods. They currently have 3 small tables for dine-in and are pretty busy on weekends. Come early or get take out! read more
