They have a window where you can see the butcher cutting up all the Chinese BBQ meats. I got the 3 plate combo which was about $15. I got the roast pork, BBQ pork, and roast duck. The roast pork was on the salty side. Had about 6 pieces but only 2 had the crispy skin on it. Told the server and she was able to get us more and apologized that some was missing due to the cut. Skin was crispy. The roast duck and bbq pork was average. Would prefer if it came with more bbq sauce.

We were given a table way in the back, near the kitchen and bathroom. Since the kitchen door was open, leading to the outside, a strong stench of Chinatown dumpster permeated the back area, which did not lead to a good dining experience. The tropical lemonade had good flavor but was too sweet. I like the flavor profiles of watermelon, lychee, and peach, but it was just too much sugar. The garlic wings were pretty savory and flavorful, but were pretty tiny. At least I know they certainly not from hormone chickens. The Takes 2 to Mango was probably the best part of the experience but it wasn't perfect. While there is some strong mango flavor, there are more peach chunks than mango. However, it was pretty good overall. Service was okay and the restaurant mostly consisted of kids with scorpion bowl-looking...bowls.

The staff was incredibly friendly, and I think I only waited 5 minutes from when I ordered to when the food was ready to take away, so that's pretty amazing! I ordered: Lunch special ($11.45) - The price alone here is incredible. You get a good variety of food and a good amount as well for what feels like pre-pandemic prices. I've seen a lot of lunch specials being raised to more than $15 or so recently, so the fact that this one is only $11.45 is a great deal. It also came in a tupperware with a big section and a small section, and I would have expected the rice to go in the big section and the main to go in the smaller one, but they did the opposite - so you get a really large and nice portion of your main course! The actual food I got was: Crab rangoons - These were nicely fried and the filling had noticeable pieces of imitation crab in it. I also liked the savory flavor, as some places make their filling sweeter, but this was more on the savory and salty side. Very nice crab rangoon. Pork fried rice - This was the iffy one. The flavor was on point, but the rice itself was hard and felt undercooked. It wasn't inedible, but it was definitely noticeable, though covering it in the lobster sauce made up for it. If I had ordered the fried rice alone without a sauce, I would have been pretty disappointed. Shrimp with lobster sauce - This came with 4 shrimps which is pretty standard, but it was an above average lobster sauce in my opinion. It was nice and gooey, salty, and savory, and the shrimp was very meaty. This was definitely the star of the lunch, and I had some leftover to eat with white rice for my next meal! All in all, I'd definitely come back - the price along is a great deal, and I'd like to see if the fried rice would be better on a second time around. The appetizer and main were great tasting, and the service was incredibly fast and friendly. 4/5 stars - I'd absolutely have this again!

I prefer the pineapple bun here compared to other Chinatown bakeries and they have a couple more varieties including pineapple coconut which isn't as easy to find in Boston. Their egg tart is also fantastic with good egg flavor in the custard and a buttery, flaky crust that smells so good. Prices are reasonable with most buns and baked items coming in under $2. Cash only for the bakery. I haven't tried the restaurant and need to do that soon. Definitely worth coming to visit the bakery!

It tasted like regular plain noodles. It was supposed to have a strong soy sauce flavor. The dim sum menu price was misleading. It was marked as small dish but they charged for more. Roasted pork and wonton noodles ($12.95) - the pork inside the wonton was black and had a terrible smell. The boneless spareribs also looked dark and not fresh. The server refused to cancel it on the bill. She insisted it was freshly made and said it was just the way they marinated the meat. It was not edible. Who would take the risk of food poisoning?

Celery!? Maybe in parts of Asia but, never have I gotten celery dumplings in my life. Let alone that one of our colleagues is actually allergic to celery. The odds of that happening is of its own. Simply put it. It was not worth the value. Just mushed celery mixed with what looks like "pork". The beef and Tomato stew. You would think you can't really mess this dish up? Sadly it was definitely a disappointment. One thing about star anise. I was always taught to never put too much as it overpowers any dish you make. I literally had 6-7 stars worth in that one order. Causing the meat and everything in there overly inedible. I hate wasting food but this was a first time in a long time that I had to throw the entire order out. In hopes they improve their dishes.

Growing up in a Chinese family, I frequented Chinese restaurants, and Beijing cafe has many classic, familiar authentic dishes available. The food here reminded me of the fond memories of food from my childhood. The steamed dumplings were cooked to the perfect texture, the filling not too salty, while the millet soup was simple, in a good way that balanced the savory flavors from the veggies and protein much like plain white rice would. The vegetable dishes were about $13 each so things can add up fairly quickly. Overall, it was a delicious quick meal that reminded me of my mom's cooking. Would definitely be back for more if I am in the area.
