Great food! Nice busy atmosphere. Can feel a bit cramped due to the layout and volume of people on a Friday ngiht.

I love how they brought out the soup dumplings in a birdcage. It was good but I've honestly had better. Would still recommend this place though!

Dumpling

Great place for traditional chinese food. All dishes are great, but if you want to try their specialty then get the big dumpling.

Pan fried pork buns
Brian W.

I got delivery from here this weekend (believe that's why the prices are so odd) and was pretty happy with the food that came. I do think I'd order differently the next time around, but this was a solid meal. Shanghai fried pork noodle ($17.64) - these noodles are amazing. Perfectly bouncy and chewy with really tender pork and a great savory flavor, I'd 100% get these every time I come back here in the future. They were a little oily, but not so much that it was a negative. Everything just melded together really well and I basically inhaled this entire serving in minutes. I think the noodles are fresh noodles too - the texture and bounciness was just really really pleasant. 10/10 for these every time. Pan fried pork bun ($10.56) - I was a little less impressed with these. I really like dumplings with the thicker dough skin, but this was a fluffy bun type of wrapper instead. The meat inside was a little mushy, and the juices has seeped into the skin which I normally like with a chewy skin, but with this fluffy skin it just left a lot of the buns very soggy. And because the juice had seeped out of the meat, the meat was also a bit mushy inside. The taste was good but not a huge fan of these, though I'm sure they are better in person. Still, I've been here twice already and will keep coming back, especially for those delicious noodles!

Spring rolls

We wanted a meal in Chinatown and Fuchun Ju did not disappoint! It was a short walk from the Chinatown T stop and the food and service were wonderful. You use a QRC code to access the menu and place your order. Your tab stays open until you let the system know you are done with your meal. We ordered the spring rolls, the rainbow soup dumplings and the half Peking duck. Everything was very good. The dumplings were presented in a wood bird cage which was a fun presentation and played into the garden feel of the restaurant. We'd definitely recommend Fuchun Ju.

Chicken fried rice

Busy spot in Chinatown. We had a 15 minutes wait before being seated. You order from a QR code on your phone. I was craving Peking Duck and was not disappointed. The beef dumplings were also a hit. Nothing special from a decor perspective but good food. Fast service. Attentive staff.

bok choy with mushrooms
Lilian W.

My husband and I came here for dinner and felt that overall the food was underwhelming yet expensive. We got the braised pork belly which was about $24 and literally only had like 8 thinly sliced pieces of pork. I was hoping for the thick braised pork belly that like melts in your mouth (the picture looked like that), but these just had a thin strip of the belly fat and the rest of the meat was pretty tough and tasteless. We also got the bok choy and mushrooms, which were decent. The sauce was too salty and goopy and the bok choy pieces were massive, which made it hard to chew. We got the traditional soup dumplings too, which were the best of the three dishes. Six dumplings for $13 is unfortunately the norm nowadays. The ambiance and service was nice but based on just the food/prices we probably won't come back.

Original soup dumplings and green beans with sesame salt
Kate O.

Absolutely delicious, and so many options! After a lengthy debate, I finally decided on the hand-made soup dumplings, the green beans with sesame salt and a peach tea. Everything was fresh and tasty and arrived quickly. Yes, you have to scan a code to order, but I didn't find that to be problematic. A staff member came over to confirm the order and answered my questions about other menu items. The staff were kind, helpful, and very efficient. This a fairly small place with a lot of tables (all full when I was there) and though you don't have to shout to have a conversation with your tablemates, don't expect it to be private. Loved Fuchun Ju!

Oolong Tea

We came here for Lunar New Year and split a variety of dishes including soup dumplings ($16-17), cold beef slices ($13.95), green scallion pancake ($8.95), sesame chicken ($18.95), and pork pan fried noodles ($15.95). The dishes were yummy but not the best quality. The soup dumplings are HUGE and filled with flavorful broth. Service is your standard Asian spot, and the inside is casual - a step up from hole in the wall, classic Chinatown vibes. Our tummies all felt a little funny after the meal, LOL!

Vegetarian chow  mein
Simi K.

Me & my husband were excited to eat here since this was recommended to us by my hotel staff in Boston, the vegetarian chow mien had no vegetables or protein like tofu, I was very disappointed.

Traditional Soup Dumplings (Pork)
Ying X.

This restaurant is awarded as the "Best Neighborhood Restaurant" in Chinatown on the Best of Boston 2025 list. Every time I passed by, it was packed with customers and there was another long queue. This time, I specifically went on a weekday at lunchtime and managed to snag the last single seat. The food is definitely top-notch. Traditional Soup Dumplings (Pork): Dumplings were supposedly steamed to order, and I waited quite a while, but it was worth it! The soup inside was clean and brimming, each could fill an entire porcelain spoon. It was with the fragrance of chicken broth, light and umami, but not transparently sweet--just right. The meat filling was also tender and delicious, with no porky taste, which was especially rare in America. The only downside was that the skin was a bit thick and rough and hardened after steaming. The dipping sauce was ginger, soy sauce, and vinegar; I'm not sure if adding soy sauce is actually a traditional way to eat them-- I suppose Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people often just simply use ginger and vinegar. Scallion Dry Noodles with Fried Egg: This was the first time I'd had sweet scallion oil dry noodles; it reminded me more of Huzhou-style gantiaomian乾挑麵(dry-tossed noodles). But coincidentally, I also really love that! The noodles were smooth and chewy, coated and infused with sauce, while without being watery. The seasoning was a simple, direct and rich sweet and savory flavor with the aroma of scallion oil. The scallions were fried perfectly-- until crispy and fragrant without being burnt or bitter. It was so delicious that I even ate all the scallions... I also specifically asked the restaurant to make runny-yolk fried eggs, which greatly enhanced the taste when mixed into the noodles.

Spring Rolls
L C.

Everything here is done through your phone. You sit down, scan a QR code, and place your order, request refills, and even ask for the check right from your mobile device. It's convenient, but it does make the experience feel a little less personal. They also stay open late, which makes them a solid option for a late-night meal. Cucumber Salad (Cold) - 10/10 ($7.95) I grew up eating cucumber salad, and everyone has their own version. FU CHUN JU's included cilantro, which I actually really enjoyed. I do think it's a little overpriced for what it is, but it was absolutely delicious. I'd order it again without hesitation. Shrimp Fried Rice - 8/10 ($15.95) My only complaint was that the rice was slightly overcooked. That said, the flavor was excellent, and there were plenty of the small shrimp throughout you got shrimp in almost every bite. It was a good portion and made for a satisfying dish overall. Spring Rolls - 7/10 ($5.95) The menu photo made it look like you'd get five, but we only received three. They came out hot and crispy, and while they were tasty, they didn't really stand out compared to the rest of the meal. Traditional Pork Soup Dumplings - 9.5/10 ($12.95) You get six soup dumplings, and they were fantastic. I asked for chili oil on the side, which paired perfectly with them. The filling was warm, flavorful, and comforting. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Pan-Fried Pork Buns - 8/10 ($8.95) You get four buns with a perfectly crispy bottom and a pork filling encased in a fluffy dough. The only downsides were that our table had some sticky residue on it when we sat down, and there was water on one of the seats. Since everything is handled through your phone, getting assistance can be a little difficult. If you need something, you're either getting it yourself or trying to flag someone down, and the staff seemed very busy throughout our visit. That said, they were still attentive. At one point, our food was almost forgotten, but they caught it right away as we were about to leave and brought it out to us, which I really appreciated. One thing I noticed was how quickly the food came out. It did make me wonder how much is prepped ahead of time, but everything tasted good, so I assume they have an efficient prep process. I am hoping it's as fresh as it seems. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The food was excellent, especially the dumplings, and the late hours make it an easy choice when you're craving good Chinese food later in the evening.

Scallion Dry Noodles With Fried Egg ()
Evelyn W.

Really wanted to try this place because the interior looks so nice and it always looks full. I felt that the food I ordered was on par with other spots in Chinatown, nothing really stood out to me and the price point is slightly higher, but maybe I didn't order optimal dishes? I ordered the green beans, pork soup dumplings, scallion oil noodles with fried egg, and broccoli beef.

Recommended by my friend, this pan-fried bun生煎 place isn't far from MFA Boston. The little place is…read moreincredibly popular and well-known among Boston's Chinese student community. Shanghai Classic Pork Pan-Fried Buns上海生煎饅頭: I was instantly hooked! It's hard to imagine finding such good pan-fried buns in the US. Almost every table ordered them, so they were all freshly made, piping hot. The bun was made with unleavened dough, making it chewy and refreshing, with a light, crispy bottom--not oily or hard. The meat filling was substantial and tender, with plenty of broth (see picture). It was sweeter than salty, incredibly umami. The chili oil was also very fragrant, and dipping it in Zhenjiang vinegar enhanced the flavor and cut through the greasiness. Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetable Noodle Soup雪菜肉絲麵: The noodles were thin and round, with a soft, mushy texture. While the noodles were clearly machine-made, this isn't a problem in the Yangtze River Delta region; the issue was likely overcooking. The shredded pork were well-stirred, with tender meat, but the noodles lacked flavor. They had to be eaten with the pickled mustard greens雪菜 to be slightly salty, and the umami flavor was severely diluted. The tableware is all disposable, and tipping is not mandatory. It's quite affordable.

We're from Shanghai and love the food here. We used to just get the shenjian mantou, but recently…read moretried several other items: the scallion oil noodles (very fragrant and addictive), the shepherds purse wontons (my favorite, and hard to find), the pork and pickled vegetables noodle soup (reminds me of what my grandma used to serve), and they had seasonal flaky meat-filled mooncakes that my daughter and husband loved. It's small and no frills but very clean, and the staff were helpful and patient, and I appreciate the lack of harsh cleaner scents that dominate so many otherwise good restaurants. My mom typically requires more "ambience" when dining out but will always happily go here. I don't live in the area or would be going regularly, but stop at least once whenever I'm back in the area. We also have food allergies, which can be tricky for eating out, but they clearly knew their ingredients and cooking processes well so we felt safe eating the food.

Modern and elegant vibe inside with kind staff willing to explain the menu in detail. The first time I went here years ago, I was a bit disappointed. The menu is more so small plates/tapas style. My parents and I came for lunch and found the food to be extremely salty and although it was Asian fusion, I thought that the Asian flavors were quite lackluster. I gave it another try a couple of years back with a friend for dinner service and found the food to better this time around. We shared their eggplant, salmon rolls, lemon shrimp dumplings, and tuna two ways. Eggplant was plump and I believe had some Thai basil or other aromatic stirfried into it which I appreciated. Salmon rolls were fun and I appreciated the sauce. Lemon shrimp dumplings were oily but packed with flavor and I also liked the creamy tangy sauce that came with it. Tuna two ways was the favorite; big fan of crispy rice at sushi restaurants so if that's your jam you'd like this.

Don't skip the dessert!! Cocktail was insane as well, had the bloodlust which had a nice spicy kick to it. Coming back soon for more.

The seasoning was only slightly sweet, perfectly complementing the freshness of the meat. These were the best Xiaolongbao I've had in the US, although the skin was a bit soggy and unappetizing. Pork & Leeks Dumpling: My friend ordered these, opting for pan-fried dumplings. They were piping hot, incredibly fragrant, and the meat filling was tender. The chive flavor was mild, which is perfect since I don't like chives lol. A touch of vinegar was definitely needed to cut through the richness! Sliced Fish Szechuan Style: Calling them "sliced fish" is a bit of a stretch; "fish fillets" would be more accurate. They were probably made with basa fish, and the fish was incredibly tender, almost melting in your mouth. The broth was fragrant, and the numbing and spicy flavor was authentic, earning high praise from my friend from Sichuan. Lamb with Ginger & Scallions Onion: A perfectly good Beijing dish, but it was prepared with the feel of a Cantonese stir-fry, which suited my Cantonese palate perfectly. The lamb was incredibly tender, with no gamey taste, and stir-fried until the oil was visible but the sauce wasn't thickened. The sweetness of the onions and carrots added to the complex flavor. Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin: Just average, like a typical Shanghai style home-cooked meal. Nothing special to say. General Gao's Tofu 左宗豆腐: My first time trying the famous "General Tso" (I don't know why they call it General Gao) series of American Chinese cuisine. It felt similar to the technique used in Shanghainese "Kung Pao宮保." A slightly sweet and sour flavor with the aroma and mild spiciness of dried chili peppers, the ingredients were deep-fried and coated in a thick sauce. The tofu was overcooked, the edges were hard, and the sauce became a bit watery towards the end. This dish was just okay.

One order of XLB comes with 7 dumplings. I think they are fine, the skin is a bit too thick for my liking (perhaps I am a Din Tai Fung snob) and I think the soup inside is just fine. It's not bad but not great.
