This is a cha chaan tang experience or a hole in the wall. It is located in a very nondescript…read morelocation near BJ's (go straight rather than turning towards BJ's). It is literally across from a condo complex and offers 3 parking spaces in the front. Inside there is a relatively clean front room and a back room that is simply decorated. I highly recommend the wontons ($13 w/o tax) with noodle soup as it tastes very bouncy and not too salty. The beef chow foon ($16 w/o tax) has wok hei (smoky) taste to it. The lemongrass chicken on rice ($14 w/o tax) is okay. Service is friendly and prompt. There is one bathroom for customer use.

We've never ate here so I can't speak for the inside of the restaurant but I've gotten take out…read morefrom here numerous times and they've killed it every time. The fried rice is some of the best I have EVER had and this scrambled egg dish I got for the first time is now a staple because it's really good!

My friends and I were in Quincy and decided to stop by here for lunch - what a great move! If…read moreyou're in the mood for some dim sum, this is the spot. They've got tons of options and everything we ordered was very solid. We definitely went more of the carbs route, but you can deviate as well. Nothing of major note in terms of service or atmosphere. It's not the most upscale of restaurants, but it does the trick. I'd happily return, especially for some steamed buns!

Believe it or not, our Latino Uber driver told us about Quincy, MA on D2 of our first Boston trip a…read morefew weeks ago. He said that it's a predominantly Chinese community. So ofc I had to look it up and find a good dim sum place. I had low expectations going in. We called just to make sure they were open as we realize businesses in MA don't pick up their phones. Not only did someone answer but agreed to save a table for us during prime dim sum hours. (Excuse me...what?). Something is learned in MA is always factor in traffic, no matter what Google Maps says. It's nothing fancy when you walk in. You can tell a lot of locals hang up and meet up with friends here. Ah Wah welcomed us in, being seated immediately to the table along the wall, near the storage. The order sheet with pictures was given and immediately checked off our staple items. -Siu Mai This was DD's favorite of all time and she is the Siu Mai monger in our fam. I trust her opinion. Well balanced filling, nicely steamed. Not overly fatty or seafoody IYKYK -Baked BBQ bun Tradional baked bun. Slightly crunchy top (not the pineapple crust). I could have eaten a whole plate by myself had I not had to save room for other dishes -Har Gow (being that we're in a fresh seafood state) -Steamed Beef ball - it was steamed on a bed of greens vs dried tofu skin. Omg! It's been ages since I've had it this way -Sesame Roll The egg tarts were sold out and this was our consolation prize but OMG, I might have cried at the first bite. Yes. It was that good. Freshly steamed and them rolled bc it came out in the beginning and still hot on the inside -Tofu pudding -Rice Roll (Beef) -Sticky Rice (Lo Mai Gai) - "Ha moon choy mai" (kinda looks like Filipino pancit) A wok fried vermicelli dish I haven't had in over 30 years was requested and didn't think they'd make it. But...they DID. The owner said the chef was from HKG and could make anything I wanted . The flavors were so nostalgic. Not only did the owner and manager stop by to chat, but the customers sitting next to us joined in. Everyone was so nice and welcoming like the other Bostonians we encountered on our trip. Ngl, I considered moving here just for the food and atmosphere. Probably one of the best dim sums I've had in the States and probably in HKG. Everything was steamed to perfection. It's been weeks and I am still thinking about my meal here, wondering when I can fly back to Boston again. Hopefully sooner than later. Definitely be back be for another trip with my parents, esp after we raved about this place here Overall, 4.5

Big Fun Cafe has quietly secured its spot as my go-to neighborhood gem, mainly because their rice…read morenoodle rolls are completely unmatched in the area. Thin, chewy, and cooked to perfection, they hit that exact balance of simple ingredients and flawless execution. The sweet soy sauce ties everything together, making every bite ridiculously easy to devour. My usual rotation includes the classic plain roll, the shrimp roll, and the golden roll with cha siu, where an egg is scrambled directly into the rice noodle sheet. If you are looking for something heartier, their clay pot rice is solid, though it is strictly an dine-in dish--it loses its best texture if you try to take it to go. The service is fast, friendly, and delightfully efficient. The quick-moving aunties running the floor are total pros who come to work and clear tables with impressive speed, so it is best to just stay out of their way and let them do their thing. Despite how fast-paced the restaurant is, the attention to detail is remarkable; after years of regular visits, I have yet to experience a single messed-up order. Inside, the space is simple, functional, and spotlessly clean. It is designed like a traditional Chinese eat-in spot where the primary goal is turning tables quickly, but you never feel neglected. All the essential condiments and utensils are right where you need them, the tables are never sticky, and the overall setup makes it easy to pop in, enjoy a top-tier meal, and be on your way.

A friend recommended this place, and based on my experience (see above), I was skeptical, but after…read moretrying it, I discovered that their signature claypot rice was actually the worst thing they had... House Chicken 秘制沙薑雞: The chicken was tender and juicy, with a perfect balance of lean and fat. The ginger sauce was incredibly authentic; you could easily eat two extra bowls of rice just by mixing it with the sauce. Beef Brisket w. Radish in Claypot 蘿蔔牛腩煲: The parts of the meat not submerged in the broth were a little dry, but overall it was still very aromatic! Yang Chow Fried Rice 揚州炒飯: This dish had absolutely nothing to do with Yangzhou fried rice, but that didn't detract from its deliciousness. The rice grains were distinct, light but not bland. Wok Tossed Beef Chow Fun 乾炒牛河: A bit of a disappointment. The rice noodles were too soft, making them greasy, and the wok hei (wok aroma) wasn't strong enough.

Shanghai Soup Dumplings is A MUST try if you're looking for authentic, super juicy soup dumplings!…read moreTheir xiao long baos are out of this world! Located inside Kam Man Market, it took over the spot that once was Lollipop Bubble Tea. It's a hole in the wall gem that had unexpectedly DELICIOUS dishes. We were shopping at Kam Man and decided to try their crab meat XLB and Chinese chive pockets. Both were sooo good, but I definitely liked the XLBs more! The chive pockets are great if you like veggies, chives especially. We ended up getting another order of crab meat XLBs, along with pan fried pork + shrimp dumplings. The lady helping us was very nice and super efficient. After ordering, our food was ready within minutes! Definitely come try the soup dumplings from here. Probably one of the best ones I've tried in MA and comes close to the XLBs I have had in Shanghai ;))

This place is truly a hidden gem worth a visit…read more Vibe: Tiny restaurant tucked inside of a grocery store with glass walls, several small 2 seater tables, and the owner making food fresh in the little kitchen behind the counter. Service: The food was prepared so fast! Staff were friendly. Food: Excellent across the board. For two people we got: Scallion pancakes - the flakiest, crispiest I've ever had, good Signature soup dumpling - great portions, good flavor Chinese chive pockets - my favorite thing we got, the filling ingredients were so fresh and flavorful, the dough was perfectly cooked Pork dumplings with cabbage - probably my favorite dumplings I've ever had, excellent fresh flavor. All of the accompanying sauces were on point as well. Value: Excellent, for two people it only cost us $36 before tip. Bonus: They sell frozen dumplings you can make at home! I am so glad this place was recommended to me. 100% worth getting a meal there and I would absolutely go again.

Chili Square is a small Chinese restaurant specializing in hand-pulled noodles and Northwestern…read moreChinese cuisine. We walked into a simple, modest space with only a handful of tables, the kind of casual neighborhood eatery where the focus is clearly on the food rather than the surroundings. The dining room was tight and functional, with a no-frills setup that kept the attention on the noodles coming out of the kitchen. The energy was practical and unpretentious, and the steady flow of customers reflected its reputation as a destination for anyone craving authentic Chinese noodle dishes. The hand-pulled noodles are the highlight of the menu. We ordered a few different styles and found the Biang Biang noodles standing out with their wide, chewy texture that held up well to the bold sauces. The Lanzhou beef noodle soup offered a lighter broth paired with freshly stretched noodles that had a clean, satisfying bite. The spicy lamb hand-pulled noodles were another popular choice, combining tender meat with a flavorful sauce that had a satisfying amount of heat. Beyond the noodles, the cumin lamb burger, steamed dumplings, and cold skin noodles provided plenty of variety if we wanted to explore more of the menu. Each dish arrived hot and well assembled, and the portions were generous for the price. The restaurant operates with a very straightforward, self-service style. Seating is limited, and the dining room fills up quickly during busy hours, so waiting for a table is common. The service is fairly minimal, with the emphasis placed on getting the food out rather than providing a full-service dining experience. Water and utensils are self-serve, and the overall experience feels more like grabbing an authentic meal than dining somewhere with polished hospitality. It is also worth knowing that Chili Square is cash only, so planning ahead will save you from any surprises when it is time to pay. The staff moved through the room efficiently, and the noodles came out hot and freshly pulled. Overall, Chili Square is a great choice if you are looking for authentic hand-pulled noodles and bold Northwestern Chinese flavors. The small space, cash-only policy, and simple service require a little flexibility, but the freshly made noodles and generous portions make it well worth the visit if the food is your main priority.

Whenever I give my kids the choice for dinner out. They ask for Fairy Cafe. We have been going…read morethere for meals since the kids were babies. The owner is so friendly and kind to them. And her impact was proven while we were there last night because some kids asked their parents to come in as they were walking by just to say hello to her. Every time I come, she recalls exactly how I like my hot pot sauce and which unique beverage each of our family member will likely order. Fairy is an intimate setting. Not too loud. There's a strong following from the neighborhood. Their AYCE hot pot offering is reasonable in price and choices up against all the other hotpot choices in Quincy. Their ala carte menu is just as satisfying. We also enjoy a frozen smoothy to go with dinner. My favorite is banana avocado or red bean. There are ample free apps that come with AYCE hotpot. My favorites are fried oysters and coconut shrimp. From there is ordering from a huge variety of meats, vegetables, and other hot pot fixings. Love their hand made dragon fruit shrimp paste and giant clams. But for my family, it is really always all about the choice beef - fat cow. I never leave hungry. There's nothing like the taste of the unique broth resulting in all of the foods you cook in the hotpot. I love to enjoy a bowl of the broth at the end of the meal. The kids enjoy the included ice cream.

Growing up in Quincy, this has been my go to spot since middle school. The menu has expanded quite…read morea bit since its opening but my favorite and go to is still their Tom Yum noodle soup. Though not a Thai restaurant, their Tom Yum noodle soup is just the best. They let you choose the type of noodle you want which is really nice if you want to customize and have a preference for noodles. Other favorites I recommend from the menu are the fried oysters and the green tea smoothie. Wish I could recommend more since it's such a big menu but I keep sticking to the same things so I can't personally speak to them. Others have tried the rice dishes etc and liked them a lot as well so I really don't think you can go wrong.

Whenever my husband and I finish a long day at work and just want to have a good dinner, relax, and chill, this is the perfect place to go. From work to unwinding after a long day, it's absolutely worth it! The ambiance, the service, and the quality of the food are all amazing. I would definitely say this place is a must-try! Sometimes we don't even care what we're wearing or how we look--we just want to enjoy our time together, and this is the perfect spot for that. Definitely coming back again!

Repeat customer here, and I have NEVER been disappointed!…read more The food? Amazing. The drinks? Equally amazing. Servers have been consistent. Two thumbs up for both! It's a restaurant and also a bar, so you can go there for dinner or drinks (or both) What's particularly interesting about this place is its location. It's tucked away in a shopping plaza, and honestly, looking from the outside in, you would NEVER imagine the gem waiting for you inside. Talk about a hidden treasure in an otherwise unassuming shopping plaza! Now, let's talk about the drinks! We've had several rounds of what the "Halo Effect", it's GOOD! Food-wise, there are a few staples I highly recommend: the paella, the ribs, and the steak with fried rice. All delicious and absolutely worth trying. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. Every visit has been enjoyable, and there's always something on the menu that makes me want to return. I can't wait to go back, explore more of the menu, and continue savoring everything this little gem has to offer. Don't let the shopping plaza fool you. This place is worth discovering!

For an experience in Taipei Cuisine, look no further than here!…read moreWe had a group after Sunday Mass and walked over to be served the most amazing dishes I have ever eaten or tried in my life! We had an array of different and delicious dishes that I could not describe but one dish that tasted amazing was a Tofu fried dish and I received a warning not to smell it but eat it! Ha! And I did! It was SO delicious! I can be wrong but I thought I heard them say it was Stinky Fried Tofu! Which I to looked on the menu and did not find it! In any case, look at my photos of our choices and you will see it was a FOOD HEAVENS DELIGHT! I throughly enjoy each and every taste! This experience was a wonderful treat to spend lunchtime surrounding around a round table with a lazy Susan and trying the multiple dishes before you! The soups were so tasty that I forgo the spoon to lifting the soup bowl to my lips so that I will not miss a drop of that SOUP! Service was excellent, the place is very appealing and super clean! I need to come back at dome point SOON!

Probably my top choice for Cantonese and Cantonese seafood in the area, Wealth is a small place,…read morebut definitely punches above its weight. Despite its size, Wealth is good for larger groups, with its sizeable round tables with lazy susans. Plus the restaurant is quite clean and does not have that dumpster or unknown stench that I detect at some Chinatown spots. The seafood here is strong, but other offerings are good as well. Their noodles have good wok flavor and are generously-portioned. I like their salt & pepper chicken wings as a party food or appetizer. Though a bit pricey, their black pepper beef on a sizzling pan is a bit of a show-stopper, with pretty tenderized beef. Even the vegetable entrees aren't bad as well. Their stir-fried peapod stems are pretty good. They'll work with you if you are vegan/vegetarian. Service is probably its weakness, even with the understanding that it's a Chinese restaurant and I order in Cantonese. They'll try to hurry you along at the end of a meal. One waiter even asked, "Are you done?" Before I could retort he said, "We're running a business here". The FOH is pretty nice and is prompt. The restaurant is literally across the street from the Wollaston T stop, so getting here without a car is totally possible.

First time with my family and a very Special person that treated us to dinner here tonight!…read moreA quaint spot in Wollaston Section almost directly across from the Wollaston MBTA Station. We all ordered several dishes and shared this very tasty meal together! I have taken many photos, so take a look and see for yourself what we ordered! The staff was very accommodating by pushing tables together and friendly toward us all! I was impressed how the food was presented and definitely how it tasted! We had dishes that were spicy and dishes that were not! Then they ordered couple of side dishes which I tried them all and totally enjoyed every bite! It was obvious that everyone enjoyed their choice of entree and what was left was packed to go! I will have to try this spot again but maybe during the daytime. So you know the soups with noodles were the most tasty in its broth, one in a tomato style! For a modest restaurant it really made some wonderful dishes to please all our palettes!
