I was so impressed by this place, but I may be a bit biased bc I came desperate for anything to eat at 2am. But for a late night bite, it blew me away with the vast options, cute atmosphere, and late hours. The food itself was unique and reasonably priced and hit all the spots. The service was quick. Took no time at all to sit a group of 4 at 2am for a sit-down meal. I would totally come again to see what else they have to offer read more

Came here for lunch when my friends and I were in town earlier this year. This cafe is also attached to a Chinese bakery, and I guess their offerings would be what you'd find in an HK style cha chaan teng. I got their tofu chinwich sandwich, and my party and I decided to share one of their fishbowl (technically fishtank) drinks. The sandwich was pretty good, and we enjoyed drinking the fishbowl drink, even if it was vegetarian. I really like that they offer sandwiches made with scallion pancakes, though maybe my only quip was that I wished the food was a little less bland. Prices are reasonable, and their fairly large menu should allow for most palates to be appeased when coming here, though. read more

I came here at the end of a night out - ravenous for some comfort Chinese food! Kudos to them for food that comes out quickly and hot. The service was fast and efficient - which was good because it was crowded! The food to me was just fine. The popcorn chicken was a little dry - definitely hadn't been made fresh to order. Rangoons were solid and the dumplings were fine - just a little plain read more

A big group of friends came to this place on a late night after clubbing. The food was average, at most, but the service was HORRIBLE. The owner insisted on charging us a $200 cleaning fee because they suspected some people from our group threw up and messed up the bathroom. We tried to negotiate for a more reasonable fee. Then they said they saw us puke in a plastic cup, which cost $100... Definitely AVOID this place if you don't want to be SCAMMED Very bad experience dealing with difficult people at 4am. Would NEVER come back read more

Stumbled into this place while trying to find a sit-down lunch in Boston Chinatown. The fusion part initially threw us off, and my sister wanted to leave. Good thing I was too tired to get up and go. LOL Our server recommended the Sriracha honey chicken, which was alright. I liked my Singapore rice noodles, and my brother-in-law found his beef chow fun to be pretty good. My daughter ordered the pork katsu with fried rice. She liked the fried rice, but found the pork katsu a bit dry. She unfortunately did not like the curry sauce. Prices for some of the dishes were a bit on the high side, but well, this is Boston. read more

So many Mass places I've been For late night food that's For The Win But if you're in the pubs Or with girls at the clubs Go to Chinatown's own Double Chin The Hong-Kong style treats will befuddle And in winter it's cold, so let's cuddle And the food is so great But if you clean the plate You'll end up with a Chin that is Double! This is one of the best late night restaurants in Massachusetts, and you can find some good American-Chinese food and Modernized Coastal Chinese food (like Cantonese or Hong Kong style) too. It's cheap and it's cheerful and it's extremely fattening - and the service is excellent. Some of the employees are really nice, and I'm totally in love with my tatooed waitress - and I think she liked me too because we were having a discussion the following night about some racists that were making severe trouble in here, and she recognized me and flirted some more. I would have, you know, exchanged numbers, but I was tired and it was late and they were dealing with hostility, and who knows if the flirting is 100% work-related or was a sign of actual interest. Maybe if I ever see her again I'll ask. Anyway I have nothing but love for the people here, and I saw a lot of racism (as I mentioned) with people coming in drunk late at night and being extremely confrontational with them, and they handled it well. The police had to come the second time I was here because of this kind of behaviour. It was not fun. Shirts were ripped off. Blood flew. Big punches thrown. It went outside and the sidewalk took a pounding. Having said that I have nothing but love for the restaurant, and we'll definitely come here in future. Of course, I look forward to bringing Barbie here as well. Of course, it's one of the best places for people watching in Boston late night, and right next to where all the clubs are. As well as being of course right in the heart of Chinatown, which is a small, dense area full of amazing hidden treasures. Some really decent person out there with a really interesting life had my previous Double Chin review removed, and whereas Yelp sends me a copy 99% of the time so I can edit, this time they said "we don't send copies", which is like Trump saying "I don't lie", so thanks Yelp for being so honest, and sorry to Double Chin restaurant and all Yelpers out there, because my much-more-thorough-and-awesome review was eaten by Yelp and they refuse to regurgitate it for me, so I can edit it (for whatever content supposedly broke rules) and repost it for all of you. But at least we all get paid for writing all these reviews so Yelp can be a billion dollar company. Oh wait. Yelp aside, Double Chin is probably the most exciting and one of the most delicious places to eat in Boston's Chinatown at 2am. Delicious in all kinds of ways. But shave before you come here. Otherwise they'll rename it Stubble Chin. read more

Double Chin is one of my go-to places in Chinatown. It's a great spot to end a night out since they're open until 11 most nights and 4am on Friday's and Saturday's. There are games to play if you're having a night out with friends or you can enjoy the romantic vibe if you're on a date. In my experience, the service has always been prompt and the food and drink is consistently good! My go tos are the cola wings, XO seafood noodles, and creamy seafood spaghetti. read more

I have always wanted to try out the restaurant ever since seeing it on a Youtube video, but was a bit disappointed by the price of the menu items compared to the portion size that you get. The restaurant charges you $15+ for appetizer-sized dishes -- most of which you could probably make at home for much less. Don't get me wrong though because the food was still great! It's still a great pick for some fusion/comfort Asian food. I'd recommend it to those who don't mind spending more for their meal. read more

Recently, we happened to be in Boston Chinatown for a day-long expedition. Being vegetarian, we expected something of a struggle while searching for places to eat beforehand. However, this actually wasn't the case: Double Chin seemed to be highly praised by most, and the menus shared online presented multiple options for people who don't eat meat. Plus, you can always ask for substitutions. Something we specifically appreciated here was that each person got their own plate- meaning you could portion how you wanted from the main dishes you ordered. We ordered two things. Firstly, we got the mapo tofu, and specified it to the server for it to be vegetarian. Apparently you can also ask for it to be vegan, as a table next to us ordered the same mapo tofu but vegan. Along with the mapo tofu we got a side of fried rice, which was very simple- just egg and rice lightly fried together, no veggies. The mapo tofu was absolutely delicious. Honestly, it LOOKS spicier than it actually is, and had more of a sweet flavour than spicy, which was really interesting. The tofu chunks were generously large, and there were also red and green pepper slices in there too. The second thing we ordered was the ginger scallion stir fried noodles. Or, at least that's what it's called on the menu I'm reading at the moment... anyways, this was fantastic too! Personally, I go nuts for anything sesame or scallion, so this was an excellent choice for me. We had some leftovers of this, and it was delicious re-heated at home too. The only issue we had was the fact that some of the items we were interested in on the menu were just not available. We pointed to what we wanted on the menu to the server, and they said something like 'we aren't serving that'. What..? The item I personally pointed to wasn't even crossed off in black marker like the rest of the 'unavailable' things, so that was a little weird. Overall, what was available at Double Chin was pretty good! The mapo tofu was a splendid experience, and the noodles were awesome even re-heated the next day. What was and wasn't available to be served on the menu was a little confusing, so make sure you always have a 'second choice' so you aren't left scrambling at the last moment to choose something else. read more

A fun place to go with your friends for drinks and fun bites! Does a great nod to Hong Kong Style Cafes and is 1000% insta-worthy. The menu is super fun, expansive, and creative. We were a big group and tried a variety , of items: Double Chin Wings ($10), skillet mac n cheese ($9), spam and taro fries ($8), Kimchee fried rice ($11), pork dumplings ($7), and a Watermelon Bomber drink ($32) from what I remember. None of the food items were really a stand out to me taste wise and I found everything sort of greasy. However, the presentation and the fun experience is so worth it! I want to come again and get one of those giant brick toasts! Open super late to so you know where to get your Chinatown drunchies *wink* *wink*. read more

This place couldn't be any worse than awful. Went here late night after a concert with the wife and a 2 mile Bataan death march for soup dumplings in flip flops. We walk in to this place being run by one of those Asian boy bands. Junk everywhere and why we didn't just walk out is still a hazy mystery. So no bao buns, no soup dumplings, just really really bad Chinese. Don't go here. Ever. read more

I was looking for a good late night dinner on a Friday night and my cousins were raving about this place so I said let's go. Came in at about 10:30 and the place was loud as hell and crazy packed but somehow there was one table for the three of us. The menu here is wild as hell. So many crazy options, its all asian fusion but seems like they were also going for comfort food. They recommended the Portuguese Rice w/chicken so I got that. They also got the Fish n' Chips and (I believe) the Singapore Street Noodles. We also got two sake/soju flights because well why not right? I got a little worried because the guy who took our order forgot our order and the table next to us' order so it took a little longer than expected. Despite that, he was still super nice and checked on us a good amount and kept our waters topped off. Off the bat I can say that these portions are very huge. We ended up sharing everything. The Portuguese Rice was kind of creamy and cheesy and it really was comfort food at it's best. The noodles were pretty standard but it was so filling. Didn't get to try the fish n' chips but they were definitely crispy if not a little oily. The sake/soju flight flavors were great for the most part (maybe not the strawberry though). You can definitely tell this place is catered to the late night crowd and I bet it gets even busier later. Great place to grab some huge portions of comfort food and just sit back. read more

If there's any restaurant in Chinatown that deserves style points, it's Double Chin. They have old favorites (Beef Chow Fun), play-on old favorites (Char Siu Pineapple Bun), random fusion dishes (Kimchi Alfredo), and dishes that purely confuse (Double Chinwich???). On pure taste, Double Chin is pretty good. The later in the evening you go, the better the food seems to taste - they're open until 4am Fridays and Saturdays. For a late night snack, I recommend the HK French Toast. It's filling, sweet, shareable, and just SCREAMS decadence. read more

Double Chin Modern Asian Restaurant - The specialty - Asian Fusion Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I came for a birthday dinner in a party of 6 on a Saturday night. Since we made a reservation, we didn't have a long wait. We ordered the Sriracha Honey Chicken, kimchi fried rice, and beef chow fun with gravy. The sriracha honey chicken was SO delicious! I loved it so much that I was literally scooping the sauce up and drizzling it on the kimchi fried rice! The kimchi fried rice was also very yummy. It was a good amount of spiciness and the seasoned egg was a great touch! The beef chow fun with gravy was really good too! I also really liked the vegetables that it came with. Afterwards, we got the matcha ma call it! I was a little disappointed by how hollow it was. The cake was kind of dry and plain tasting. I did really like the matcha ice cream and mochi bits that came with it, though! The service was very poor. The server barely came around to check if we needed more water or to gather used dishes. As a result, we literally had to get the water pitcher ourselves and we stacked all of the dishes at the end of the table to make it VERY obvious that they need to collect it. Overall, I had an amazing time with my friends here! Aside from the complaints we all had about the service, the food was delicious and I would come back for the Sriracha Honey Chicken. read more

The atmosphere was great and it was a very nice place to have a quick drink but the service sucked. My group saw our waiter once the whole time and had to constantly get the attention of another person for very simple things that we asked when we placed our order. We asked for water in the beginning and we were never brought our waters until we asked again. The food was mid at most. Little favor and boring. With so many waiters around, it made no sense why it was so hard to be able to track down one waiter. The bathroom was not clean at all and the seating was not accessible. Drinks were inconsistently made. The water we were given tasted like sink water and wasnt even filtered and the ice had the same taste, making it hard to enjoy the drinks. I was a bit disappointed with the experience. read more

There aren't many places in Chinatown open after an evening show, and this time we chose to go to Double Chin. I'm glad we did! It really hit the spot. Though it took a bit of time to get the waiter's attention, the food came out super quickly and we were in and out in around 35 minutes. Rice rolls in XO Sauce ($14) - this was definitely a highlight. Super tender and chewy rice rolls pan-fried to perfection with delicious marinade and fresh bean sprouts. Couldn't ask for anything more! Pork and shrimp wonton noodle soup ($10) - Nice and thin egg noodles, comforting warm soup, and well-cooked and plentiful yu choy. The wontons were okay -- definitely big, not much shrimp, mostly pork. Pretty good deal and very filling -- didn't realize it would come with so many vegetables which we appreciated! Crispy chili chicken ($13) - The flavors here were good (love the chilis, savoriness), but the chicken left something to be desired. It was a bit tough and the coating was more of a tapioca or potato starch and not particularly crispy. Still a yummy dish! Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the offerings at Double Chin. The rice rolls were perfect and I really enjoyed everything else too. It'll be a tossup between Taiwan Cafe and Double Chin next time I'm in Chinatown at night! read more

This place was a complete disappointment , I have never experienced such a bad service in my life. They scammed into paying an obligatory tip saying that after 12am they do it like!!! The food was below horrible I couldn't even take pictures because my camera wasn't focusing on such a bad food... Tell me why the place smelled funky and my server had no uniform and also his hair all out and about!!! I'm so sorry I'm not even like this but I had to express my sadness.

We checked out Double Chin and left a little disappointed. I was hoping that this punny little spot would be my new late night go to. Double Chin is a pun because it's named for the two owners Emily and Gloria Chin AND one could get a double chin eating like this daily. We got there early because we expected a dinner rush and we were right. We arrived at 5:30pm and by the time we left at 7:00pm the restaurant was full of millennial aged patrons. We got the Shin Ramen Stirfry, the Peking Duck Fries (with just a smidge of Peking duck), Satay Noodles (not photographed) and the Macaron Madness. The noodles and fries were just as expected and definitely IG worthy as promised. There was nothing special of note as far as flavours were concerned. The Macaron Madness cube toast didn't disappoint with its Instagram worthiness but it did fall short on flavour. The batter used had that overpowering eggy taste (think sulphur) that one doesn't expect from a well done French toast batter and the taste of the oil from the deep fryer was overly evident (they might want to change the oil pronto). The service was slow and it appeared that they forgot part of our order as the bill was placed on our table before we got the item. It was only when we asked if the item was still on its way did it arrive 10 minutes later after some hubbub at the register. We sat for about 30 minutes waiting for it overall. All of the other items came within 10 minutes of ordering them. If you're looking for a trendy, Instagram worthy spot, this is definitely for you. We were not impressed but will give another try in a few months. Hopefully we won't feel then that we paid a hefty price for IG photos rather than a meal worth the listed price points. read more

Stopped by this cute fusion cafe for a quick lunch while in town and had a good experience! The menu is pretty large so it took me and my dining partner a while to decide on what to order but we were happy with our choices. We ordered Poutine Your Mouth and Spicy Rice Cakes to share. The poutine is crispy waffle fries with a cheese sauce, kimchi, and furikake sprinkled on top. These were good and the flavors complimented each other really well. I feel like the sauce could be spread more evenly but the fries are great on their own as well so I can't be mad at it lol The rice cakes were SO good. They were fried so they were slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. They put mozzarella cheese and thinly sliced Chinese sausage on top which went really well with the sauce. I do wish there was a little more sausage but overall this was a really good dish! We didn't try any of the desserts but I'll definitely come back for those. This is a good place for a quick snack or meal and they're open fairly late if you want a late bite. Check them out if you're in the area! read more

My friends and I stopped by here after bar hopping. I always wanted to try this place out and love that it's open until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays. My group was slightly larger so the staff took some time to arrange the tables for us. Some of the tasty items that were ordered included the Lobster Rangoons, Calamari, and Shrimp Fried rice. The prices were a lil high and I believe we had to spend a minimum per person, but it was worth it after a long night out. read more

Double chin is going to give me a double chin or maybe a triple chin. Double chin is a cross over if a restaurant/cafe/bar. I think the owner couldn't decide what they want, so they went with everything. Great hangout spot, but also a great place to grab a quick meal. Their stuff is base off of being cute and unique. I do recommend coming here to be taking pictures of your food and also try something different. The ramen fried chicken was a bit on the drier side. I didn't like it that much. And also for them to be sprinkling the entire packet of ramen powder wasn't good. Not my favorite. The cola wings was good. It taste exactly like it is named. Chicken wings seasoned with cola and fried. It was really good. The spam and taro fries was unique. It doesn't always come in a spam can like in the pictures. We were disappointed. We ordered it for the display. The spam was, well like spam. The taro was great. The dipping sauce they provided was just mayo, mustard and ketchup mixed together. The sambal fried rice was one of my favorite. It was spicy enough and had the perfect amount of sambal flavoring. I do recommend this dish. read more

It was quite simple but everything was delicious about it. Luckily no large chunks of duck fat, the fries were fresh and the hoisin sauce didn't overpower the dish.

Double Chin has a really fun atmosphere, and is one of the only places to go out in Chinatown past 9pm. The menu is extensive and fun, and they have many great vegan options. The service was great as well! However, the food was pretty expensive for very mediocre quality. We got the Stir-fry Shin Ramen and Spicy Peanut Cauliflower. The vegetables weren't cooked through all the way, and the cauliflower dish was basically just cauliflower with sesame sauce on it. The Ginger Scallion Ramen was alright, pretty plain, and it cost $3 extra for a few bites of tofu. We got a watermelon mojito to drink, which was sickly sweet and I don't think had any alcohol in it. There were a lot of fun drink options on the menu if you're out with friends. While I probably wouldn't go here during the day, it's a fun place to try late at night although it was certainly gimmicky, and I wouldn't expect top quality. read more

I was a little skeptical at first due to mixed reviews and I thought it would be like any other Hong Kong Style Cafes. I am very glad that I checked out this place because it was honestly one of my and my boyfriend's favorite spot that we went to during our trip to Boston. There were so many items that I wanted to try, but we wanted to save room to try other places afterwards so we settled on two items. I ordered the creamy seafood spaghetti and my boyfriend ordered the fish and chips. Food: Creamy Seafood Spaghetti - It was honestly the best seafood spaghetti I have ever had. Something about the sauce was just tastier than other places I tried before. They were also super generous with the seafood which was great because I loveeeee seafood! It was also a lot more food than I thought because I got super full and gave a lot of it to my boyfriend finish. Fish and Chips - It was really crispy, piping hot, and fresh! The fish was good and I could really taste the beer in the batter! The sauce that went with it was also really good! Restaurant: Service was fine and there was a good amount of seating! I was kind of surprised by the amount of people dining during the time we went (2-3pm?), but it's a good sign! Overall: If I am ever in Boston again, I would order the creamy seafood spaghetti again! I would also love to try their other items! read more

Amazing food! I've been craving some chow fun for a while now and saw that Double Chin had it, so my standards were quite high considering I really wanted it. Needless to say, they did not disappoint! Loved the flavor, food came quickly and the service was quite good too! With the other orders, the food were quite decent as well. It's just ambience wise that I wasn't crazy with as it was quite dark and messy. Overall I'd consider the place a solid 7.5/10. Amazing food but definitely room for improvement! read more

Menu looks fun with lots of asian fusion choices we just had two desserts. Both visually pleasing and tasted good. The strawberry shaved ice was SO SWEET so be prepared. The matcha fried bread with icecream was delicious. The bread was still warm and you can taste the sweetness, a little crunch from the frying and aroma from the egg it was soaked in. Matched perfectly with the cold matcha icecream. The bread was my fav part! Cereal was visually pleasing but.. it was just cereal. Service took a little longer than expected, we went on a Friday night so it seems like they are a little under staffed. Overall great to just hang with friends and grab some fancy dessert. read more

It's been about a year since I've visited this place on our trip to Boston. I still drool about the dish I ordered from that day. I recently started writing reviews, so why not write one for Double Chin? While browsing on Yelp to find places to eat in Boston, I stumbled upon this location. Double Chin? Sounds weird, but the brunch menu captured my eye with its cute design (Gudetama!) and pictures of their dishes. Their catchy dish names also made me chuckle a bit. Based on previous reviews, I really wanted to try the Katsu Bo Lo Baowich. Fast forward to the afternoon on the last day of our trip. I had this place on my list to visit, but we had trouble fitting it in our schedule. Plus, we just had lunch! My boyfriend noticed that I was a bit bummed about it, so he urged us to check it out before we left. I mentioned that the brunch ends at 3 pm, and it's approaching 2:45 pm - we're not going to make it. Still he was determined, and I'm pretty happy that he convinced me to go. Luckily, it was about a 10 minute walk from where we were at. When we got there - surprise! Their Boozy Brunch actually ends at 4pm! Hopefully, they'll get around to updating the hours on their online menu. We sat down from our power walk and looked over the brunch menu. As I mentioned before, I decided to order the Katsu Bo Lo Baowich to share with my boyfriend since we were still a bit full from our previous meal. When it came out, it looked like heaven (ºº). I cut it in half, took a bite and then realized that I didn't want to share it with him... but I had to, haha. The katsu with the pineapple bun and the unagi sauce just worked so well together and was balanced with the pickled veggies/slaw on the side. The taro fries were also amazing. I finished my half and wanted to order another one, but was guilted by how much I had already ate. However, I swore if I ever came back to Boston, I would come back to order this again. So go and try that Katsu Bo Lo Baowich! The cafe is also connected to the bakery next door with some steps if you're feeling for some sweets! read more

I found this restaurant through Instagram. The food looked delicious so I knew I had to try it. Even if I didn't enjoy it the food, I could get some nice photos out of it. Thankfully the food did taste as good as it looked. Double Chin is the most creative Asian fusion restaurant I've ever visited. Being in Chinatown of course there are elements Chinese cuisine, but also Korean, Japanese, and probably some others too. I had a hard time choosing what to get since so many things looked intriguing. I ended up ordering the Stir Fried Shin Ramen, a dish with stir fried Shin ramen noodles, chicken, vegetables, and a spicy sauce. I particularly like the presentation of the instant ramen cup on the plate. There was a generous portion of vegetables and chicken relative to the noodles, which I appreciated since many places tend to skimp on that. The sauce gave the dish a nice kick without being overpowering. The drink menu is just as extensive as the food menu. There's plenty of unique cocktails and non-alcoholic options. I ordered a yuzu iced tea, which had actual yuzu fruit pieces in it. The tea was sweet and refreshing, a great accompaniment to the spicy ramen dish. I'd like to try whatever yuzu cocktail they have next time I go. I impulsively ended up ordering a scallion pancake ($7) and sriracha honey popcorn chicken ($8) to go. The portion sizes for both items were large given the price. The scallion pancake was pretty standard but enjoyable, although I wish they had included more of the ginger soy sauce. The popcorn chicken was rather disappointing since it definitely had more honey flavor than sriracha. I'd order the scallion pancake again but probably not the sriracha honey chicken unless I was sharing it with another person. Service was okay. The interior could use some work since it feels a bit outdated between the basic furniture and dim lighting. Overall I really enjoyed Double Chin. I can't imagine running out of new things to try from there any time soon. read more

Not very crowded around 5:30PM on a rainy Saturday. Pros: -Really nice ambiance -Fun menu -Donut dessert -They seemed to have messed up our order, so they gave us a free Matcha Shaved Ice while we waited. -- Strawberry Donut Bomb ($10.00) Custard filled donut topped with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with a strawberry jelly filled syringe. The donut was a little smaller than I thought based on Instagram photos, but definitely big enough for 2 people. It tasted somewhat like a bread bowl--it was still warm and the filling inside was thick and eggy unlike a typical Bavarian cream. Not sure I'd order again, but a good pick on a rainy day. read more
