131. Beef Chow Foon lunch special.
Alex K.

I went in recently to this needham long time staple and it's as I remember it. Food was tasty and service was attentive and good. I love the fish tank; the atmosphere is nice. The lunch special was good. Crab Rangoon was delicious, disappointed it only came with one. Egg drop soup was nice as well.

This picture doesn't do the decor justice.  This restaurant is very beautiful

If you aren't super careful you will drive past this restaurant...don't do that. It is set waay back from the road to accomodate your parking needs, so keep an eye out so you can pull into the correct parking lot and not miss out. When you go in the entry way you are greeted by multiple collages of photos of their regulars. This is a well loved and long laying restaurant The inside of the restaurant is really gorgeous. Colorful walls, fish tank, gorgeous lamps. The food was solid. I got a chicken with broccoli. There was a great looking list of cocktails but we weren't in the position to partake that day. Would definitely return.

Scallion Pan Cake

My family got Mandarin cuisine on Christmas this year. It was ready on time and not a long wait despite being such a popular time to order Chinese. I enjoyed everything we got except the scallion pancakes. I wouldn't recommend ordering those.

Boneless ribs appetizer
Jay M.

Well, stopped in for lunch . Haven't been there in awhile . I ordered a boneless spare rib appetizer and the lunch special Beef Chow Foon. No soup with lunch specials, no tea Asked the waiter if I could get Beef Chow Foon with garlic...he told me to order the garlic shrimp special then? The boneless ribs arrived with abundant pile but in bottom were all dry over cooked or reheated ones that were inedible . The others were fatty and I had to cut out fat as shown in pic of the pile of fat... Beef Chow Foon noodles were good , but bland taste and needed garlic or any spice. I enjoy the fish tank there but I don't see myself returning to view the fish.

Amazing restaurant right outside Boston near Boston College. The staff was just awesome and so was the service. The hit and sour soup was some of the best I ever had. The Salmon dish was awesome and when I asked for some brown sauce it made it even better. The same can be said for the black pepper shrimp. This was authentic Chinese cuisine and it was recommended by the hotel clerk and he was right it is the best. The place actually looks like a Mandarin garden. Loved it! If you are ever in Boston, Massachusetts you need to find this little gem! The ambiance and decor was very nice.

Dining room & fun decor!

YUM!!! I come here often. Never disappointed. I often have the steamed cod with ginger and garlic DEEEE-LISH. Always cheerful servers. Fun decor, as if they're art students!

115. Shrimp Fried Rice

We had the Pad Thai and Shrimp Fried Rice, they both were good. Service was pretty great. Ambience is nice, clean, and love the Jazz music in the background. Overall this place is great!

I call my Mom Grandma Ding because she's a little ditzy. And she likes to tag along on family…read moreoutings like a dinghy attached to a bigger boat, sometimes in front, sometimes in the wake, so when we found this place on Yelp it was fate. We came for a family dinner and of course Grandma Ding was with us in her wheelchair. We only smashed into a few chairs in the big, crowded dining room. And fortunately other customers were understanding while the staff was helpful and accommodating. The small, curious child running around the dining room without parental supervision didn't get hurt when I ran him over. The menu was huge so it took a long time to order with Grandma asking questions about every item. I could see that the waitstaff was used to quick orders and rapid food delivery to the table, but the waiter remained kind and patient. He also repeated his answers loudly when she couldn't understand his English and because she didn't have her hearing aides turned up. We finally ordered a giant wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, a shrimp dish, and orange chicken; all to share. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. Grandma Ding did have to ask for the soup to be heated up because she likes it to be scalding. The dining room is worn and dishes were flying in and out as items were served and cleared. It's definitely a place for family meals, not one for an engagement proposal or romance. Perfect for our evening. Portions are generous and prices competitive with other restaurants in the area. Parking on the street is the only difficulty, particularly when you have a nonagenarian to get into the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

One of my favorite restaurants in Newton!! Everything we ate last night was delicious…read more We ordered the: -Chicken fish maw hotpot: this was so delicious. The soup was so rich and fragrant. I will definitely come back for this. Almost every table last night ordered hot pot. -Dried Scallop and Egg white fried rice: I order this whenever I see it on the menu but Ding's makes this soooo well. It has the amazing smoky wok flavor. -Surf clam on vermicelli: so fresh, so delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes. The service was great, super fast and attentive. The restaurant was clean and bright.

I came in at 7:30 on a Thursday evening and it was dead. I was the only person in there the whole time, which was unnerving. The service and the morgue-like ambiance are enough for me to avoid this place in future.

Over the past couple of years, we have become regulars at Sichuan Gourmet House. We enjoy the food…read morevery much, we always have great service, and the cocktails, while not particularly excellent, do you get the job done! There are some standout dishes that I return to on a regular basis. The braised beef with Napa cabbage, the Chengdu style Kung Pao Chicken, and the dry cooked spicy chicken, are three examples of delicious, flavorful, and nicely spiced entrées. During our last visit, one of the owners, who goes by Benjamin, chatted with us and gave us two small dishes to try on the house. One was a small bowl of Sichuan pickled vegetables for us to nibble on, and the other was a Sichuan spicy beef jerky, and both were absolutely delicious. Ben was a delight to chat with as well. The restaurant itself is large, spacious, and quiet. It's a pleasant place to spend some time, have a good conversation, and enjoy some delicious food!

What a gem! The chef is literally an 80-something Taiwanese grandmother and it is a small,…read morefamily-run business. Their prices are reasonable for this type of homestyle fare, so you have no reason to give your money to a big chain owned by fat cats! ;) On weekends, the wait for table seating can be an hour-plus but there is a reason for this. We ordered popcorn chicken to start and devoured our bowls of soup: chicken and braised beef. Mine was the latter and I ended up ordering additional noodles and Chinese veggies so the delicious broth would not go to waste! My side order of noodles was a healthy portion. I also tried the pork wontons and we finished off our meal with the sesame seed "appetizer" balls (4 small pieces: 2 skewers with 2 each). Dine-in seating is limited but what they have is clean and simple. The complementary jasmine and green hot tea is delicious. Andy served us and was attentive and affable. I will definitely come back to try the salt and pepper pork chop many have written about!

Easily the early and far away favorite for best restaurant of 2026. Where do I begin?…read more I came in on a Sunday night and was one of the last seated- luckily. As a family run restaurant , grandma and the rest of the family had a flight to catch to Taiwan the next day; all the ingredients are fresh to prep daily and sadly for some, they had to get turned away that night... I went heavy hitter mode, I was in the zone. I got the salt & pepper pork chop- wasn't going to eat the rice but as you can see from the pic below of the noodles- I licked the entire plate clean. This pork chop was perfectly seasoned and it was insanely tender. Very impressed with how tender and flavorful it was. Next up had the spicy wonton noodles; just truly amazing, idk what else to say. The noodles are perfectly cooked, super flavorful dish. The beef noodles were also incredible and the braised beef pieces stole the show in that bowl. I left zero room for any to go box. Service was amazing, they were super nice & I even got to say hello and compliment Grandma upon leaving. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. I will definitely be back soon!

I was up in the area and I was hungry and I thought this place looked pretty nice from the outside…read more I did try opening the door and I almost thought it was locked. The front door was very hard to open went inside. They had a really nice clean seating area . Everything was pre-done so plates and silverware. We're already on tables done ahead of time. Not sure if that's good or bad depends on how long they sit out in the open I would've liked to have ordered something that had all a complete meal together, but I missed the luncheon Specials which made or forced me to order separately. It came out very quickly all packaged in the bag cause I was taking out and I paid and when I paid, I almost passed out with the price. I'll add the slip to the review out of the entire meal. I had the crab Rangoon when I was in my car cause I was hungry. I didn't feel like staying at the restaurant the crab Rangoon were excellent waited till I got home for the entire rest of the meal. Add a whole container of pork fried rice started to have a little bit on that one and I didn't find any pork in it, but I did have some vegetable stuff in it so that was kinda OK but it'd be nice to have pork unless it's at the bottom, I haven't gotten that far The general Gau's chicken was very rubbery and it all stuck together as one clump in my takeout not sure if it would've been any better eating in the restaurant but I've had some very good takeout from other restaurants and this just wasn't it like I said the chicken in it was very rubbery and stringy. It did have broccoli three pieces in the takeout. What I really was looking for was one single container with general gau's chicken Some pork fried rice with a couple of crab Rangoon's. I'm not local, but I do travel there due to my jobs. This is one place. I probably won't make an appearance again due to the takeout quality of the meal. So if you're looking for a really good crab Rangoon, they definitely did a great job on that And maybe it would've been better as a eat in situation rather than a takeout situation

Big menu with lots of options, I decided to get the szechuan dried spicy chicken. This thing…read moreclearly packs a punch and not for the sensitive to spice. Chicken is great and I enjoyed it. I'd probably share it next time so I could try more but a great meal and would try more from here. Very authentic Chinese food.
