Bang for the buck! Situated in the heart of East Boston, Little Asia is a neighborhood favorite. The establishment itself isn't the biggest, though what they lack in space -- they make up in portions! The "all day combo" which includes an entree, side of fried rice or low-mein along with an appetizer is a steal for under $20. General Gau Chicken is their spin on General Tso. They boneless rib appetizer has amazing flavor! Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Little Asia Restaurant - Chun liu beef - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I can't lie, based on the reviews this place had I was excited to try it. The food was not cheap, but I was willing to give it a try. Unfortunately my sesame chicken is some of the worst I've ever had. The chicken is extremely chewy, stringy, and not very flavorful. I've had lots of sesame chicken. The egg roles taste... old? Idk they aren't good. The rice is also bland and it all just feels like it's been sitting somewhere for a while before it was served even though the menu says it's cooked to order. The staff was fine. They seemed exhausted and not very happy to be there but they were nice enough. I got my order to go so I can't speak much for the vibes of the restaurant but it's nothing to write home about. Maybe this place used to be great, idk, the reviews definitely made it seem like it would be much better than it was. I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

The staff was friendly and the prices were reasonable. But it felt more like a bar that serves food. And the food didn't have a lot of flavor. The egg foo young was bland, as was the sesame chicken. And the noodles they used for the chow mein were flat, and more like a noodle used in Pho. read more

Usually the food is good, 2 Saturdays ago everything we ordered seemed leftover from the night before. Spent over $100.00 plus $20 tip for subpar food. No one enjoyed the food. read more

We love Little Asia, we've been several times, most recently we got takeout. The food was great, the service was prompt and the hostess was very polite. The bar is a great place to hang out but getting a table is also a fabulous option if you want to sit and chat. Parking is tight, but the food is worth it. read more

Didn't expect much of this place. But I was surprised how good the food tasted. I had the wonton soup, small but good. We had lamb chops and fried rice. Staff was helpful and friendly. read more

Honestly, I did not like the spring roll. It was average. It did not have enough of the mint in each of those rolls . Everything else was fine. read more

I know! I know! We chose Asian in a city known for sea food. But it was our last night and we wanted something different. This restaurant did not disappoint. A varied menu, great pricing, and solid portions. Service was phenomenal - greeted at entry and regular check-ins. Looking for something fun for your group? This place is a great choice! read more

If you love dive bars, *and* old-school Americanized Chinese food - this place hits all the right marks. Recommend dining in rather than takeout. There's a vibe in here that's difficult to describe, but feels very homey. Great bang for your buck, warm & friendly service, and the mixed drinks are well balanced and tasty. Legitimately looking forward to coming back. What a gem! read more

Little Asia Restaurant - What a lunch!! - Chinese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food is always delicious! This restaurant has been part of the Orient Heights Community for more than 20 years. It is the only place we will continue to order take-out from. Thank you for your many years of dedicated service! read more

This is my pick for New England style Chinese food in East Boston. Great on the classics of NE style e.g. crab rangoon, boneless spare ribs, lobster sauce etc. They also do a great Singapore noodle, salt and pepper wings. One negative is that they don't use Chinese veggies, it's just basic bell peppers, cabbage and onions. Delivery around Eastie has been faster than expected. They usually say 45min but deliver in 30min. The restaurant is fine, focus is on people at the bar playing Keno and gambling. Great place to hang if you're single and want to watch a sports game and chat with townies. This place is an East Boston staple. I've been eating here since 1997. Friendly place with consistent food and service. read more

Ordered a lunch special around 11:30AM at at the beginning of the day. I have always been a big fan of this place. But this delivery was as if they took leftover food from the day before like chicken fingers and fried rice and also gave me uncooked Chow mein and put on my special just to get it outdoor delivery. read more

Very decent Chinese to go food in east Boston . One of the better one around . The chicken could have been crispier But otherwise everything we ordered was good and it was a fulfilling dinner . The strong beans chicken was great. read more

Really pleasantly surprised with this place. It was a busy Friday night, but we were seated immediately. There is a bar inside, so the atmosphere is a little loud, but we were seated toward the back of the restaurant and were unbothered. The atmosphere is lacking in decor and pretty casual, so it's great for an easy dinner and I imagine it would be good for lunch as well. Upon being seated, we were brought waters and hot tea without having to ask. The menu is extensive and everyone is bound to find something they like! They have appetizers, drinks, chicken, beef, seafood, and vegetarian options. My boyfriend and I both ordered General Gau dishes (chicken for him and tofu for me). The tofu was crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside, which is really hard to do! The broccoli portion was small, but the protein portions were huge and we both ended up with leftovers. Huge bang for your buck, as our bill was under $30 for both of us. Service was fine; we never had trouble tracking down someone, and we felt like we were in & out in a timely matter. Parking is a challenge, but it's easily accessible by foot if you take the T to Orient Heights. They also deliver! Overall, good food at a good price with huge portions. We definitely will be back! read more

I recommend coming in and checking out the relax vibes. read more

Me and my family love this place. The food is really good!!!!!! Everyone is so nice. It feels like home!! read more

We've supported even before Covid and couldn't be happier given their quick delivery. The mai Tais are delish. They will customize orders except for the combination platters. We order both Chinese food and sushi and the 1 less star is due to "fishy" tuna. And many of the dishes are often oilier than need to be. Highly recommend Salt & Pepper wings, homemade dumplings, moo goo gai pan, boneless ribs and spareribs. Such a nice family run business. read more

Great spot for takeout! Classic American-Chinese food (beef teriyaki, chicken fingers, egg rolls etc) all good quality and fair prices!

Still the best and most consistently excellent Chinese food. Yeah, the prices went up but who's haven't. Still a good deal on some great food. read more

My colleague told me this is one of the best Chinese restaurant in town, so we decide to give it a try. I have to said, as an Asian, it's definitely not the best, but the food is okay with a good price. Their wings are the best! I will definitely come back again for their wings. It's so delicious. read more

While there wonton soup was wonderful and the Beef w/green peppers and onions was delicious, I hate to say the last two times we got Sesame Chicken it was awful, huge chunks of chicken, tough, rubbery and hard to chew. Sad because the sauce is very good, to bad the chicken wasn't. read more

Excellent food excellent service. I would have to say the best Chinese Food in this area and I do mean this is a big area has been this way for years and years. save yourself a lot of time and money and go there here first can't beat the prices and the quality of food. Everything from the service to the food no place can compare to here read more

I especially love their wings. They are a good size. The food tastes fresh and is delivered pretty quickly.

We walked in late, but they were so accommodating, letting us order a bunch of dishes even though they were set to close in a half-hour. Some very good dumplings and soups. read more

I was in the area with a colleague so we decided stopped by this place to try it out. 1) Food was good. Ordered the Sesame Chicken with Pork Fry rice. The Sesame Chicken sauce tasted good. 2) Waiter was attentive and friendly. 3) Place was clean and welcoming. 4) Prices were affordable and seemed appropriate for the area. 5) Overall it was a good lunch. I will be returning to try other dishes here in the future. read more

Food was good and delivered in the time they quoted. This is the only Chinese restaurant in the world though, that doesn't serve rice with their dinners. $40 for a special and side that doesn't come with even white rice. Ridiculous!! read more

Food was fresh and excellent. Can't wait to visit Boston again so that my husband and I can eat there again. Great service.

Came to visit my old block and Little Asia still got it. On a friday its filled with locals at the bar. Great East Boston experience.

My wife picked me up at Logan and we did not get to the restaurant till almost 10:30PM. Both bar and dining room were still busy. Waitress was working a lot of tables alone but she was a pro and had us set up with Mai Tais (awesome) and ice waters in no time. The food was piping HOT, all obviously freshly prepared. Everything was delicious and the service was superb. I had experienced a long and tiring day, could not have ended better then the great food and dining experience we experienced at Little Asia. If you looking for an old school American sit down Chinese Restaurant BEFORE they all become take out joints, this place is 1#. Great food, great service and awesome drinks..... read more

Not from East Boston I was looking for some Chinese food and from a local told me little Asia was pretty good so a party of three of us went in and had a great dinner. The food was very good and the service was excellent. One more thing the restaurant sits right next to the subway tracks so every few minutes a train comes by train and I actually thought at first it was a trimmer, but I must say it's just added to the ambience of the place. I would highly recommend this place if you looking for some decent Chinese food. read more

Just moved to the area so we are searching for great Chinese food and this place was pretty good! Tried this based on the reviews and it didn't disappoint. When you first walk in its not what you expect from an Asian restaurant as it feels more like an American pub. This kinda made me nervous but we still ordered. I had the General Gau combo with pork fried rice. The rice was delicious and the sauce on the chicken was too. I wasn't too crazy about the chicken itself but it wasn't terrible. The boneless ribs and crab Rangoon were good as well. Overall I was happy and will return. read more

So delicious! Great service. Fresh food. Love coming here! Highly recommend the beef teriyaki extra crispy, Singapore fried rice, house fried rice, beef chow foon. read more

Very good sushi , they're a bit pricey but the portions are slightly larger than most places ... I love their spicy tuna roll and California roll... Staff was ok , I mean they don't interact as much and they aren't social ... It seems like lots of locals come here for the bar and they tend to stare if you're a new face ... That made the energy of the establishment a bit off ... I think it's worth a try ! And they deliver so that helps!!! read more
