One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Massachusetts. Their young chow fried rice is delicious and their seafood is divine. And as an added bonus there's a J. P. Licks on the corner for dessert. read more

been here multiple times and the food was really good every single time. would recommend!

The food overall is so good, very fresh and big portion. I love their seafood and chicken soup. read more

See all

Delicious food, great ambience and great service. This is the best Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten.I will come back again.

Came in Monday during lunch and service was ok and food was good. They have a lunch special menu with large selection and good pricing. Ambiance is nice and clean and bright. read more

I love the coconut chicken hotpot here. very authentic. Good service and clean space!! read more

Food portion is more than we expected. I think they are more Cantonese style than Szechuan style, which is a good thing for our senior guests. Water boiled fish is not oily like some other restaurants and you can really taste the umami flavor. Beijing pork "chop" is the spot of the day. Thick pork chop gazed with sweet sauce and even our kids loved it. read more

Service was absolutely awful. Non-complaint staff and only cared about quantity over quality. Do not waste your time here... I waited over 30 minutes for some cold ice water and service?? Hello?? Ambience is loud and extremely dirty. I'd never recommend this restaurant to anyone even on my worst enemy. read more

Still my favorite local restaurant for Dim Sum. The Dim Sum offering are more plentiful than when the restaurant initially opened and I like all that I have tried. The one annoying thing about the place is that they always seem to get the orders mixed up. I have been there about 6 times and each time they brought an item that was incorrect, brought us someone else's order or got something mixed up. Once they figure out how to correct this issue (which they should have done weeks ago!) meals will be delivered smoothly and that will enhance the experience of dining there. read more

The food was amazing, have to go back again soon. read more

Ding’s Kitchen - everything was so delicious - Chinese Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the Boston area! If you like chicken or fish, It,s an unique option. The location is very convenient for parking. The food is fresh, thoughtful service. And the Boss is a very awesome person. He is a professional badminton player with numerous awards. I'll take my friends and enjoy it often. read more

Dined in and food was mediocre at best. Governor's chix was soggy/stale, not made to order. Dim sum plates seemed to be previously frozen goods that were warmed, not freshly made in house. Better food can be found elsewhere. read more

I came here for dinner and I thought it would be clean after reopening, but the result is the same, there are rats crawling around on the ground, it's scary and nasty!!!! I would never ever come over again! Why the healthy department let dirty restaurant open? read more

Wonderful new restaurant replacing Jumbo Seafood. We visited two days in a row because we loved it so much the first day we had to introduce others the very next day. Every table was full on both days with a line of people waiting to get in. Every table appeared to be ordering the chicken with coconut soup. It is cooked at the table and is incredible. There is a large menu of add-ons for the soup. We added veggies and rice cake but saw that other tables added meats as well. We also tried the -- apparently popular -- lobster fried rice which was huge and delicious. There were large pieces of lobster in shell perfectly cooked. It was fairly easy to free the meat from the shells using chopsticks. It has tiny shrimps in it for extra flavor; we argued over whether it was made with pork to no conclusion. The veggie chow foon was very good with very fresh veggies and lots of noodles, but not otherwise special. This restaurant is a treasure. read more

Based on previous yelp reviews we thought we would try out this restaurant. It exceeded our expectations for food was very good. The lobster sauce was delicious the pork fried rice was also the best I've had, we got to Peking Duck it was good . The presentation was a little lacking any skin could've been crispier but the best I've had since chef Changs on Beacon Street closed years ago. The hostess was wonderful and friendly the wait staff not so much will definitely come back read more

What a great addition in Newton! We had a great dinner with delicious options from varying regions of China. Loved the eggplant, chicken and salted fish casserole, Hong Kong style beef Chow Fun, salt & pepper pork, and dried scallop and egg white fried rice. Everyone enjoyed. read more

Recently order a cup of wonton soup and har kow dumplings. Soup was not hot and the dumplings were tasteless plain shrimp in wrappers. Service was speedy but staff did not inquire if the food met the moment. read more

This is my go to place for my family dinner. I love the fresh chicken and lobster is very tasty.

Dim sum was good and came out from the kitchen steaming! Opened later than expected - Sunday at 11 am. Def coming back!

Very yummy, highly recommend. My favorite was the coconut chicken soup, it was so refreshing and not heavy at all. I also loved the lobster fried rice. 10/10 read more

New place with hot pot soup . The menu is a mile long. We stuck to known dishes , we didn't venture into frog or abalone or jelly fish. The wok roasted lamb was great ( though too much thick cut ginger makes dish look a lot bigger than it is) , Hong Kong style noodles delicious, har kaw was always our favorite with crab Rangoon and shrimp in minced garlic . Their family pots with chicken are interesting and tasty though the way the chicken is cut you could really skewer yourself on the sharp bone pieces. And A lot of care needs to be taken to watch those chicken bones swimming in broth. A big downside is no bar ! And their milk tea menu is gone . read more

We enjoyed delicious dim sum, and the service was excellent. We'll certainly be returning for more.

Best coconut chicken i've ever had! Good food good service. We'll definitely come here again!

The picture said it all. I love the food and good services especially the coconut chicken hotpot

The chicken coconut pot was really good. Definitely recommend. Friendly service is also a plus. Will come back

There food is super good especially the bbq pork and the service is very great we came for dinner with our friends and wasn't disappointed highly recommend read more

We dined at Ding's on Christmas Day. It was busy and hectic, so I am taking that into consideration. The tea was not hot and we were charged $4.50 for it - I'm not sure why, but charging for a pot of tepid water with two teabags in it is unacceptable. The food service was extremely slow and our rice came to the table perhaps 20 minutes after two of the main course dishes, so we didn't have rice with most of the dinner even though we asked the wait staff multiple times for rice. The Beijing Duck was very good, but we asked for additional hoisin sauce and pancakes -- and were charged an extra $5 for them. The orange chicken was mediocre and not hot, which made the sauce congeal into a gummy consistency. Chicken with black bean sauce was excellent (and hot). The jumbo shrimp and vegetables with chili sauce was exceptional and freshly prepared! I'm sure we'd have a better dining experience on a regular night and I'd like to give them another visit. read more

Great service and great food! Highly recommend the peking duck. I will always stop by here if I'm in the area.

Food not consistent, some time it tastes fresh. Other times it tastes like it was reheated. Portions are small with a lot of sauce to make dish look ample. read more

Initial service was receptive, but the conditions rapidly deteriorated. The silverware was not provided despite request. The roasted peking duck was served cold and the skin was not crisped or crunchy, despite the guarantee that it would be brazed to perfection. The clams with black bean sauce arrived with a flourishing, nauseating black mold, which was near impossible to wash off my hands and mouth. Leading to nausea shortly after. The waiter's panic and provision of napkins to help resolve this disaster paved way to the appearance of the manager. Which verbatim stated "they do not take responsibility for their food." Furthermore commented - "They don't guarantee anything in the restaurant". The clam's were taken off the bill; but the sense was that the ownership does not care for their image, instead focusing on the money grubbing aspect of single serving client relationships. I have zero qualms about paying for a proper dining experience, cost is not a factor. I felt like I was treated as a 2nd rate citizen; being berated publicly with other customers ogling; instead of acknowledging that I was served contaminated food and addressing the issue. The experience was embarrassing and disappointing, not to mention the egg fried rice was atrocious. Ruined my evening. Never coming back. Steer clear. Does not deserve the single star I'm forced to give to post this review. LET THIS BE A WARNING TO EVERYONE STEER CLEAR!!!!! read more

We love Ding's. The food quality better than any place we've been to in Chinatown. My kid's yelled out in excitement when we said we'd take my family here tonight. It's a good idea to make a reservation. We always get the salt and pepper tofu, some type of Yee míen, beef noodles and fish maw soup. All the flavors are spot on! read more

My family and I have been regular guests at Ding's for years. We really like the variety of dishes here and the friendly service they provide. I especially enjoy the coconut chicken hot pot, which is a perfect choice for family and friends gathering, bringing us so much warmth! Please keep up the great work read more

very good food and service! Fish, chicken, pork, etc. were all very good and good portion sizes.

Unassuming almost hidden in Newton Center, Ding's Kitchen came highly recommended from a friend. It was our first time. We loved the food and the atmosphere contributed to a pleasant experience! Exceptional quality and freshness, deliciously prepared, a huge range of dishes, and excellent service. Personal favorites include the sesame balls with lotus seed paste (from their dim sum menu), braised eggplants and tofu in hot pot, and fried brown rice with vegetables. Ding's Kitchen is a find! read more

" this is the best and most authentic Chinese food" is what my daughter and son in law say . We all went out to Ding's to celebrate the holidays - the service was fast - our server had good suggestions and was polite - and the food was so flavorful abd piping hot . We loved the large bowl of hot and sour soup ; the crispy calamari and the bbq boneless spare ribs . The portion sizes were great and there was plenty of food for everyone . You know you're in a good place when there is a line outside in the freezing cold and everyone inside is Chinese except you ! This is a true family place - we saw tables with little kids, teenagers , elderly people - everyone was having a blast and enjoying the food . We are Newton Centre locals so we have seen Sally Ling's in this location ; Jumbo Seafood abd now Ding's - love this place ! read more

This is our go to Chinese restaurant - my mom orders from here almost every week. We like their Stir-fried Udon Noodles and Hong Kong Style Chow Foon. read more

Great food. Highly recommend coconut chicken. Also lobster rice. The rice can serve at least 6 people.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant! Always come here for lunch when I have class in the evening! Recommend to all the students around and please definitely check their super valuable lunch menu. read more

Takes me back to my childhood days of dim sum with my family! Polite staff and excellent food.
