This menu is so fun! If your craving gourmet food, this is not the place, but if you are looking for a fun, innovative, and unhealthy menu with unique takes on Asian cuisine, this is for you! The plating on some of the dishes was so fun and picturesque. We didn't get drinks or desserts this time but the nearby tables had beverages that lit up! There are a couple dozen menu items I'd like to try so I will definitely be back.
just look at the photos. do you see how beautifull crafted every dessert is? Double Chin is Doubly delightful. matcha creme brulee was a huge hit. our drinks were equally delicious
What a fun menu! Modern twist on Asian classics and then some. How about some boozy boba? You betcha, that's on the menu. Capri Sun style pouches with juices and soju...yep, got that too. So it's not only about the food at this cool restaurant. Located in the heart of Chinatown, it's the place to be for lunch, dinner or drinks galore. This was my first time dining here and there'll be many firsts each visit in the future. The menu was quite extensive and there were many classic noodle and rice plates but with a spin. The rave was the cubed toast but I couldn't resist ordering other goodies. Really, I wanted to order half of it just to try. Ha ha The goods I did get: - kimchi noodles with pork belly. Nice amount of heat in this dish. The noodles were delicious and topped with pieces of pork belly that had the right amount of fat and meat ratio. It's an awesome dish. - Shin ramen stir fry, yep - served with the tub looking like the noodles spilled onto the plate. It's just too cute. Very savory and comes topped with assorted vegetables. - poutine and cheese (secret ingredient I couldn't figure out), some kind of cream sauce added to this melty goodness. There's a nice cheese pull on this dish. - Spam and egg sandwich, sounds simple enough but it's next level...a sweet glaze was used on this that compliments the Spam. Don't like spam? No problem, you can choose ham, bacon or skip the meat. Drinks were all fantastic: we had a Yuzu, a lemon, and a matcha drink. The Thai Iced Tea didn't disappoint. Will totally return next time I'm in Boston again, hopefully with more peeps so I can sample more food. This is a must try!
Double Chin is an Asian fusion restaurant with many interesting and innovative menu options. It's always quite busy which is a good sign as well. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 7/10 Average size restaurant in Chinatown with a decent amount of seating for 40-50. It's always bustling inside which gives it a nice vibe. SERVICE: 6/10 I won't be overly harsh here since there was literally only one waitress/server and she was being bombarded everywhere at all the tables. However, it literally took 30 minutes for us to get our check. That's a little too much to ask even if she was doing her best. They need more staffing. FOOD: 7/10 Tteok Bokki - 7/10 - About average for tteok bokki. Not overpowering spiciness but also not super sweet either. I do like the modern touch of cheese over the top which is trending these days. I thought this was a decent dish, but not one that I would specifically come here for. Peking Duck Fries - 7/10 - One of the more unique dishes here. French fries topped with Peking duck and hoisin sauce. I thought this was a decent combination that was good, but not the excellence of fusion. The fries worked with the duck but did not really make it better than the traditional dish. Matcha Ma Callit Toast - 8/10 - Hong Kong style French toast with a bunch of toppings and several scoops of matcha ice cream. This is definitely sized for a group to eat but I thought it was a great dessert with a random smattering of food. VALUE: 5/10 Dishes are pretty expensive, even for Boston. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 5/10 Ultimately, despite a unique menu, there's not much here that is clamoring for my return. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: No hard recommendation from me. Overall so so. OVERALL: 6/10
We used to come here all the time when I lived in the city and it did not disappoint coming back! The portions are huge and everything we had was delicious. Service was super quick and it was a straightforward, no frills location. Highly recommend everything we got, especially the scallion pancakes! Everything was hot from the kitchen and super fresh.
A restaurant with fun takes of modern Chinese food. The menu is eclectic and unlike anything else I have seen in the area.
This is a no frill type of place. I thought from instagram and stuff the vibe inside would be better. The menu is very unique so it took a minute to make a selection. The service was pretty good...no complaints there I played it safe with the siracha chicken bites and the garlic ramen noodles but I recommend venturing into the menu a bit more. We shared 2 dishes as we weren't starving but 2 people can easily split 3 fun dishes.
What a nice little place in Bostons Chinatown. We had kimchi fried rice, XO sautéed rice rolls(which were wide noodles rolled up with bean sprouts) and garlic charred edamame. It all was really good but a little expensive. and our server didn't know what the Yelp check in offer was for so we didn't get it. Thanks for our first dinner in Boston.
I finally came to this restaurant after hearing so much about it from my friends. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 6 pm and had no trouble grabbing a table. Initially they wanted to seat us at a high table but seeing as there were plenty of other regular height tables, we requested for that and were met with no resistance. We went to family style and ordering and therefore tried their Cola Wings, Roast Duck (half), Singapore Rice Noodle, Double Chin Fried Rice, and XO Seafood Noodles XO. The wings were crispy but I did not get very much Coca-Cola taste out of it, so I was not sure if it was really worth the hype. The duck was delicious and beautifully seasoned, but as usual, you just have to be smart with picking your pieces as some can be very bony. The Singapore noodles were thin pairing well with the curry, lots of vegetables, and scrambled egg bits. The fried rice was like any other traditional house fried rice with all the fixings. The seafood noodles had scant amounts of seafood and was probably my least favorite dish out of the lot. For drinks, my party of 6 shared two of the large fish bowl drinks and two games of roulette (one lychee and the other strawberry) while playing jenga rather competitively. Overall, we had a fun experience and would definitely come again. Service was friendly and accommodating. I recommend others to check them out as will I!
One good thing about this place is that it is open late so it's available after a boozy night and beggars can't be choosers. There was some type of Korean fusion going on in this restaurant as I saw a lot of Korean-type dishes, but to be honest, if you want Korean food, I'll suggest you find another place cause there's no authenticity in the taste of the cuisine and it has a weird tang. The service was decent and the place in itself is a cafeteria type setting. This is not a place I would recommend to anyone in terms of food, but if you're hungry and there's nowhere else to go, it'll do.
A fun place with a cute & punny menu. However, the quality of everything is just okay. The main reason to come here is because they're one of the few spots open past midnight. The Cube Toast took a long time to come out and it was very mediocre. It tasted way too eggy, the Matcha ice-cream was too ice-y, and the macarons were super gritty from all the sugar. A convenient place to visit with friends but the food isn't stand out delicious.
Super creative Asian fusion restaurant!!! I love all the different dishes, you'll never find any of these dishes anywhere else! Super innovative snacks and super flavorful! Poutine In Your Mouth - 8/10 I love waffle fries! Nicely crisp but it needs lot more poutine. Not enough cheese or seasonings for all these fries! Portuguese chicken rice - 8/10 Very interesting flavors! I never had Portuguese inspired food before so I'm not sure if this is authentic or actually a Portuguese dish! But it's super creamy and saucy and the chicken is very tender. Matcha made in heaven - 10/10 So fluffy and flavorful! I'm surprised that the ice had a nice matcha flavor! Not too sweet and great presentation! I love the combination of the little mochi balls and red bean! Also, that is a perfect scoop of ice cream! Spam Taro Fries - 9/10 Exactly what you expect, it's fried spam and taro cut into pieces. Simple but delicious with the spicy Mayo! Could use some furikaki seasonings though. Also I love the presentation of the spam container! Overall, This is the place for fun and creative Asian fusion food. Definitely not authentic cuisine! Great for late night snacks and desserts!
The drinks are very good. They pour them strong. Really liked the Asian Mule and the Litty boba drink. The elote fried rice was very tasty but a little small. Veggie dumplings taste excellent and are fried to perfection. I dont know if they make them in house but I feel like they might. Crunchy Ramen Salad is so tasty! Love the flavors. Wasnt a huge fan of the soju roulette, there were a couple flavors in there that no one at the table could stomach. Taro and spam fries are solid. Very tasty One thing ive notice the last two times ive come here is that it sometimes smells like dirty dish water to me but Im not sure if thats just my nose. Also I used to like the mac and cheese dish but the last time i got it, idk if it was the smell altering my perception but it tasted kinda like it too. Overall really like this place! And theyre open so late theyre great for after going out.

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
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

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
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

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

One of the only places that is open past midnight in the area. In my honest opinion, the food here is only mediocre at best. The flavors are pretty basic and doesn't stand out as amazing. What gives it the higher rating is that it's convenient and has great drinks. 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

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

This place was pretty good especially for the food and drinks! Had a pretty good experience with the staff as well! Had a bunch of board games to play on the wall as well! Would probably come back again. read more
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
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

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
This place is located right in Chinatown so parking is hard to find. The restaurant itself is cute and small. There are plenty of options for food. My bf and I went for dessert only which is pictured. It was alright the bread itself was super light and flavorful, but the toppings were majority Frosted Flakes cereal and some fruit and mochi. 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

Last night I needed something quick and was craving Chinese food and everything in Chinatown was closed besides this place. I ordered the lobster fried rice and added shrimp. I got home ready to chow down and the rice looked and tasted bland and flavorless. I did not see any lobster meat in the rice either. The rice had a strange taste that I could not put my finger but I've never had lobster/shrimp fried rice that tasted like that before. It addition to the strange taste, the rice tasted like it was mixed with dirt. It was very gritty and sandy. I couldn't eat the rest of it and I ended up tossing it. My sister had a similar dish and did not like her food so I definitely would not recommend this place. 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
Love the name and how could you not? We made this our first stop of the night. Ordered the duck fries and soft shell crab. Start with the bad first, the soft shell crab looked like it was cooked perfectly but we weren't fans. Now onto the duck fries, oh my goodness, who would have thought. 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. We would stop solely for those but ideally we'll try some other things on our next visit. read more

Very interesting and lots of food and drink options! The drink was very watered down and lacked alcohol and flavor. The food was definitely shareable and had contrasting flavors. Service was very attentive and the inside was spacious. read more
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

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

My friends and I can always count on Double Chin as a reliable and fuss-free option for good food and drinks for reasonable prices. While the food is not extraordinary, I do appreciate this place for its huge variety of options as well as their creativity. They serve some interesting dishes here I am sure are a hit among the masses--spam and taro fries, cocktails in kool-aid pouches, etc. My friends and I LOVE the seafood crispy noodles here. It comes with a generous serving of various seafood and I love the crispiness of the noodles. During our most recent visit, we also tried the siracha honey chicken. The sauce was tasty and the chicken was cooked so that it was tender in the inside, and a bit crispy on the outside--just the way I enjoy it. I would definitely order this dish again next time I am here. To top our meal, my friend and I ordered bubble tea, which I was overall satisfied with. Special shout out to our waitress who went out of her way to ask the bakery next door if they had lychee jelly for my drink. Service here can be sort of a hit or miss, so really appreciate how our waitress went above and beyond to meet a customer's needs. All in all, my friends and I can always count on Double Chin for a satisfactory experience. You are guaranteed good food and prices that won't make your wallet cry, but don't expect a spotlessly clean restaurant or the best service (though I must say the cleanliness of the restaurant has improved throughout the years and I do see their attempt at making the place more aesthetically pleasing). Double Chin has earned its spot as one of the few go-to restaurants in Chinatown that my friends and I keep coming back to! read more

Came here again for some late-night munchies. We ordered the salted egg yolk toast, rice cakes, and a fishbowl drink. The menu has a bunch of variety and creative dishes, although the food is pricey for the quantity. read more
One of the few hongkong style food places around here. I do wish they had HK breakfast in boston! Def miss those. They carry an assortment if foods. My favourite so far has been the baked porteguese rice with chicken. Ordered it twice and still love it! It's got gooey cheese and reminds me of HK/Macau style food! You can get the lunch set and comes with a HK milktea/coffee and wonton soup. It said it came with a bun from baobao bakery on the menu too but I didnt get that. I might have knocked off a star for either forgetting my baobao bun or misinformation from their menu that they forgot to take off...but their food is YUM so. Covid restriction make it takeout only! But only 10minute wait!! @eatsumbap read more

TLDR: generous portions for this fun Asian fusion place. Food is good and interesting in this Asian fusion joint in Chinatown. We came on lunch on Christmas had good service. Food wise we ordered Peking duck fries, nori fish and chips and lobster fried rice that they made spicy to our liking. Everything was delicious and yes, instagramable. I also had the Asian mule and really appreciated the yuzu flavors in my cocktail. Definitely coming back here again! read more
