    Had a great convo with the lady running the small stand. hot, fresh, and delicious egg puffs.

    A must go stop whenever I am in Chinatown! A lightly sweet, fragrant, crispy exterior soft fluffy interior, delicious egg puff. The auntie making it is always nice and quick. She has expanded her flavors a lot since opening but my favorite is still the classic. It is inside of a plaza at the end of the hall. You will see her cart and the signage.

    Hot and delicious egg puff waffle from the egg puffy lady in Chinatown. Small shops and stands do it best!

    Picture perfect - fresh egg puff original

    CASH ONLY, ranges from $4-$7, but the best hidden gem in Chinatown for a quick sweet treat! It's always made-to-order! So expect a little wait for fresh goodies. Looks like they added new flavors but I couldn't resist the original. It's just so good, lightly sweet, fluffy with a little bit of crisp on the outside. Actually regretted not getting more than just 1, because once I walked out the door, it was gone. (All in my belly hehe)

    Egg Puff Stand

    Cute little egg puff stand in a small food court. The prices range from $4-$8 for egg puff waffles. The lady only takes cash. It was a lot of fun watching her create the egg puffs and they are really tasty. If you want a dessert that isn't too sweet or a snack, I highly recommend coming here. There may be a wait because people also love her egg puffs too!

    Yay! Still here after all these years. I used to come here and get a bag of fresh delish puffs & you still can. $4 7 days a week Many flavors

    visited the egg puff lady the other day! her stall was at the back of a food court but there's a sign outside with her logo so it was easy to find! the egg puff was really nice! i tried it warm but it was still a little doughy so i waited a few mins and it tasted way better! i def recommend it wasn't too sweet either

    Egg puff for $3.50!

    Get your freshly made waffles here: The hole-in-the-wall location can be tricky to find. In the heart of Chinatown, Boston, you'll find the Egg Puffs cart in the tiny cafeteria. Regardless, it's a MUST VISIT spot for dessert! For $3.50 each (with other flavors for different prices), you'll be paying for a giant waffle cooked on the spot. Tear them into bites and share with friends. Or, as I did, shove the whole thing in your mouth like a T-Rex. I'm personally not too heavy on sweets, so the egg puffs were enough to satisfy the craving. Not too sweet, freshly cooked, and not soggy whatsoever. You'll be surrounded by other pastry shops in the area that package their goods. I do suggest supporting the Egg Puffs cart for a warm and toasty dessert! Please help out local businesses during this time. These heavenly creations deserved to be discovered and loved. Plus, it'll help our local community grow!

    Love this little way back-in-the-already-tiny-and-narrow-food-court (corridor is more accurate) egg puff stand. Prices are quite reasonable - especially for Boston. $4 egg puff as a base before any fillings. Personally have enjoyed the Nutella and salted egg versions - both were great. Warm, soft, chewy with a savory and sweet combo that just hits. It's not overwhelmingly heavy and the lightness makes a great dessert to eat while you walk around Chinatown - works even better with some boba next door. Good filling pastry for a great price and made by a sweet, hard-working lady in a tiny stall - what's not to like?

    Cooking area is completely covered via a transparent divider (can you see some reflection?) aka COVID-safe :3!
    Bess Z.

    Getting egg waffles was one of those spur of the moment decisions and I was not disappointed! I actually couldn't find this place at first because it wasn't a stand-alone store - it's actually just a small cart inside a place called the "Food Court". I expected the food court to be big with ample seating, but instead it was really cramped with very few seating options. Nonetheless, that did not stop me from waiting the 5 or so minutes for the lady to make me some fresh egg waffles. They came out great! They were well cooked on the outside, yet super moist and soft on the inside. There is also something immensely satisfying about prying apart each individual ball and popping them in your mouth. I don't know if it's because of COVID specifically, but there is a really tall, transparent divider separating the customer from the cooking area (see photo). Even without taking into account COVID, I'm glad that they use a separate for general hygiene purposes. The minor downside is that (like many other establishments in Chinatown), it is cash only. Either way, it was $3.50 well spent!

    ** Cash only Egg Puffs is a hole in the wall located inside a mall in Chinatown. They have several different flavors, pretty unique flavors. We got the classic flavor and thought it was just okay.. Egg puff was quite dry, consistency was dense, and sweetness can be sweeter. Classic Flavor - $4

    In Cantonese, it's pronounced "gai dahn jai," literally meaning little chicken eggs! One of the oldest food I've eaten in Chinatown - 20 years! There is no place in Chinatown that makes its egg puffs as good as this little cart shop! To find this cart: When you walk up the steps to the brick building, walk through the double glass doors and keep going straight until you hit a dead end. That's where the cart is parked! The egg puffs have a specific sweet and egg taste. They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The person there does make some and leave them out to make more, so ironically, you'd want to come during a time when there are some people lining up before you. Then you can get the ones that are just baked! :) The egg puffs are $3.50 a bag, cash only.

    Red Bean Egg Puff
    Steven D.

    Super cheap and delicious egg puffs! I got the red bean egg puff and the coconut egg puff, both were quite light and fluffy-- would highly recommend a flavored egg puff! With that being said, it would have been delicious with a dipping sauce. Additionally, it was pretty slow so I would build in ~5 minutes per egg puff you order because they have to cook them individually. A quick note: the cart with the puffs are at the back of a room in the food court, you should see it right when you walk int. Also, the hours on Yelp are inaccurate, they appear to be open until 8:00pm each day 7 days a week.

If you're looking to go for brunch be advised that you should make a reservation ahead of time. I did a walk-in and had to sit at the bar. The bar isn't too bad. But if you're someone like me, (6'2 280lbs) it could be a little tight. At the bar, Dillon and Ricardo were amazing! They were very attentive as soon as I sat down. I was handed the menu with a glass of water. After looking over the menu they took my order. I ordered the New Orleans coffee. Good drink. A little on the sweet side but had a lot of alcohol! To start I had the tater tots. Pretty basic but it had a good seasoning to you! Not just salt and pepper! For the main dishes we had the Southern fried chicken sliders. It was a nice sweet and spicy blend. Not too spicy, just the right amount of kick to you! Also we got the chicken and waffles. As soon as we gave the menu back to them, not even 10 minutes later the food was at our spots. Piping hot and fresh. Mind you, the place was packed! So I'm not mad at that! The chicken thighs were seasoned well and juicy! The only thing I didn't like, was the waffle was kind of soggy and thin. Not like a Belgium waffle that is thick and crispy. But still, not bad. I would recommend trying them out but make reservations for a table.

Started with the charcuterie board, and that first combo of cheese + jam + warm bread - one of those ratatouille moments. Simple, but exactly right. Then the salad - a little sweetness from the pecans, and somehow going back and forth between that and the charcuterie felt like the right strategy. Service was super solid and attentive without hovering, always around when you needed something. Ordered a Kronenbourg 1664 mid-meal - crisp, slightly sweet, easy to keep sipping. Then the seared salmon came out, topped with shrimp. More seafood with my seafood? Absolutely. Left completely full, finishing off the extra jam as a low-effort dessert. Could've ordered something sweet, but sometimes it's better to switch locations and convince yourself you're being active on the way to the next spot. indoor = warm and cozy outside = sun and dogs
