    Went back for a dinner a year after the big "under new management" change. Interesting findings…read more -- Egg Rolls: A little small, a little dry, but nicely crisp, old school celery filling, and VERY intense BBQ pork flavor inside. Almost like a pork bun. A little above average thanks to the flavor. -- Chinatown Ribs: Not available when they first did the new management thing, but their signature babybacks are back, at least as a special. A different cut from the spares, these are a little pricey at $28, and odd cutting-- some wide, some narrow-- but very thick (2" in spots) and very juicy. Just enough glaze, and thankfully not all over the cross sections, because these fresh-cooked ribs have nothing to hide and need no crutch (I'm looking at you, Jasmine Garden). Very pleasant flavor. Near-elite. -- Yu Hsiang Beef (on a combo): Yes, they do dinner combos. The beef was very tender, with pleasant spicy flavor and sweetness to balance it out. It seems the sweetness is a new twist; I preferred the version I had twice a year ago that was much more spicy and savory, but this was good. Nice assortment of peppers and wood ear mushrooms. Above average. -- Spareribs (on a combo): Had to try these too. These changed a little from a year ago (previously near-elite once and elite once)-- not as thick and no scoring of the surface. Delicious glaze, but dry and probably a reheat. Will definitely get these again, but as a full order, not as extras plopped onto a combo. A little below average, but still some good signs. -- Pork Fried Rice (on a combo): Dry. Muted flavor. Below average. -- General Gau's Chicken: Very crispy and staying crispy throughout the meal, these flattened, bumpy mini cutlets had quality chicken, good tenderness, and a complex sauce mixing heat into the sweet the way the General is supposed to but which most don't. Caramelly delicious. Near-elite to elite. Some bumps in the road still, but still plenty to like.

    Chinatown on Cobbs Corner has taken a bold step for this area of the South Shore--and so far, it…read moreis succeeding. Chinatown now has dim sum--clearly, made fresh--on weekends. It even has a smaller dim sum menu on weekdays. Wow! The prices are not cheap, but certainly very reasonable for the quality. On a recent "solo" trip, my three choices were two dim sum classics: shumai, tofu skin rolls, and a fried offering of shrimp and chives in a wonton wrapper. I will start with the shumai, which were large and juicy and full of meat and large chunks of fresh shiitake mushrooms. Delicious, and better than any shumai I have had in New England. You get four large steamed shumai (in the bamboo steamer) for $7. That is not just fantastically tasty, but also is a serious bargain! My other steamed dish was also very good. The steamed tofu skin rolls are thicker (more pork) than one might find in traditional Boston dim sum halls(, and the traditional Cantonese in which they're served is not full of cornstarch (as so often is the case). The bamboo shoots in the rolls also have flavor. More like you might find in Hong Kong, and three large rolls for $7. This is a standard-sized dim sum order at established halls. Good job Chinatown! The people who serve you are kind and chatty (you won't find such people at the usual bustling halls!). They are happy to make suggestions, and to bring your dipping requests (soy, chili oil, hot mustard etc.). I believe 5 different people waited on me and/or stopped to chat. Very nice atmosphere. My third item was good, but nothing special. The fried shrimp and chives dumplings were small and tasty (called a "rangoon" on the dim sum menu, it's really a simple shrimp and chive deep fried dumpling. The shrimp and the chives were fresh, but at $7 for 3, it was the least stunning of my orders. The prices are generally $7. The menu is divided into steamed items, fried items, and weekends only. Their xiao longbao comes as 6 pieces (generous) for 6 buns. The weekend choices include stuffed eggplant and stuffed tofu ($7). I will note that they have chicken feet, steamed spareribs and tripe steamed with ginger EVERY DAY (all at $7). As I had (wrongly) believed their dim sum offerings would be frozen (as is the case with most dim sum restaurants) I didn't order the har gow, as the frozen ones have thicker and chewier wrappers. When I was assured that they were indeed homemade har gow, I promised myself I would return soon! It's a very clean and airy restaurant, like many of the Chinese restaurants in America during my childhood (but no tiki torches!). With a proper sushi bar, it's a great place to take out of town guests.

    This is what happens when I am unsupervised at Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant & given a dim sum…read moremenu. Hubby responsibly orders a delicious lunch menu item & I order enough food for THREE people!!! - Steamed roast pork rice rolls - Steamed Golden Palace shrimp dumplings - Steamed pork & shrimp shumai - Deep-fried taro dumpling with pork & dried shrimp - Baked roast pork buns - Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fresh garlic Hubby loves the #14 combo: shrimp with vegetables, fried rice, golden fingers (chicken tenders) & egg roll. Even for him, it is enough for 2 meals! His favorite item from the dim sum menu is the stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fresh garlic. Everything was outstanding & I would do it again tomorrow. If you are ever in the vicinity of Mohegan Sun, take a 5 minute drive & check out this amazing Chinese restaurant! Dim sum is available daily so give it try. Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 6 Overall: 7 I have been coming here for the last 20 years. It has been one of my favorite dim sum restaurants in all of the US. Obviously things change over time, but my recent visit still tells me that most of the food is still very solid, though not quite as great as it once was. What I love about this place is that all the food comes out fresh and hot. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite items have taken a step back. For example, the Sticky Rice Flour Dumpling w/ Pork & Dried Shrimp had way less filling than a few years ago. Still good flavor, but not great any more. Also, what happened to the Pork & Shrimp Stuffed Peppers? All I tasted was soy based ground pork and no shrimp whatsoever. Lastly, the Duck Egg Yolk Custard Bun has gone really downhill. Skip! With that said, I still absolutely love their Pork & Shrimp in Dried Bean Sheet Roll. One of the best I've had anywhere. Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce and Fatty Pork Ribs, and Sole Filet in a Fried Thin Rice Wrap are still excellent. There are many other standard items that are done well, but not necessarily better than most places. Every time I come to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Casino, this has been a must stop. Though I feel the quality has downgraded a bit, I would still consider this restaurant one of the best places to eat in the area. However, I do hope that they find their old magic touch with some of my favorite dishes.

    Anyone who knows me will tell you, I believe the best Chinese food is in Boston. So much so that…read moreEVERYTIME I come home, I must have Chinese. Growing up in Boston, I have my favorite spots to go to. However, one of my favorite spots closed down recently which led my Bestfriend to find us a new option for Chinese. In walks Chinatown Restaurant in Weymouth. Doing a search in the area, we discovered Chinatown Restaurant in Weymouth. The reviews were raving about how good the food was, so I had to go. Driving up, it's your typical carry-out. Nothing special, but it's easy to find and there is ample parking. After taking a look at the menu, I decided on the Pu Pu Platter for 1 with a Sm Lobster Sauce. I placed my preset at the window, paid, and took a seat. The location was very clean. The ambiance is very take-out suggestive and the lighting is slightly dim, but not in a romantic way... After a few minutes, my food was ready and my order was called. From the moment I took ownership of the bag I was excited. The smells that were coming out of the bag were amazing. I could literally smell my entire order and it had my mouth watering. As the Pu Pu Platter provides a variety, I will admit that EVERYTHING that comes in the platter was AMAZING (I don't eat shrimp so I can't speak on the shrimp). Beef Teriyaki - Meaty. Moist. Well flavored. Perfectly done. Perfect size. Chicken Wings - Flavorful and Perfectly Done. Nice size. Boneless Ribs - These steal the show as they are beyond amazing. Sweet and Salty, meaty with not a lot of fat. Perfect amount of sauce. These were the highlight of my plate. Chicken Fingers - Thick. Battered well. Great with the Sweet & Sour Sauce. Not hard. Egg Roll - HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE. Fresh. Flavorful and Crispy. The Lobster Sauce was good as well. It was standard for a carry out but the flavor profile was that of a quality restaurant. It was as meaty as it was saucy. All I know is that I am sold on Chinatown Restaurant in Weymouth and will be returning every time I come back home. LoL.

    I think when you start a review with "the person who took my order was very, very nice". You know…read moreit's not going to be a really positive review. So we ordered food from Chinatown Restaurant and like I said the person who took our order was very, very nice. We got General Gau's "chicken" with an Egg Roll and Chicken Fingers. I'll start with the Chicken Fingers which were as good as I have ever had. They were awesome. That's the good now for not so good part of the review.... The egg roll had this sugary taste to it. I've eaten hundreds if not thousands of egg rolls in my lifetime and never before have I tasted an egg roll that had this sugary taste to it. Not sweet but like someone doused it with sugar before cooking it. Not a good taste sensation either. The General Gau's Chicken had dark meat which I am not a fan of. It also looked and tasted more like pork than chicken and had this funky taste to it that did not enhance it good. Thankfully it was not very spicy. The pork fried rice had lots of pork but the rice tasted very bland. It only had one slice of Mushroom and one slice of onion. No egg bits. No bean sprouts no anything that usually makes the rice taste better. It looked like it was the bottom of the barrel; which considering it was an hour before they closed it probably was. I struggled to eat about 1/8 of my meal then threw it away. We also got Lo Mein and that was also bland as heck. I gave them three stars based on how good the Chicken Fingers were and how nice the people who work there are. Summary: I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it was an hour before they closed and try them again. I struggled to give them three stars because like I said earlier the chicken fingers were good and the people who work there were very, very nice. I would say avoid them an hour or two before closing.
