This place is such an amazing spot to have in Lowell. Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

This place has the best dumplings in the area, their mala stir fry is amazing. A group of friends…read moreand I are almost regulars here. But today's experience was sub par to what we are used to. I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

What we got: Smoked Bacon and Dried Tofu Stir-Fry Deep-fried Oyster Mushroom Spicy Sir-Fried Shredded Potato Every one of these dishes was just perfect, and the menu has so much more to explore. One important note is that many of the authentic and different dishes available were on the in-house restaurant menu though I didn't see them online. Not sure if I missed something on the website, but I was very excited to see the menu they had in-house. We also enjoyed some equally authentic tea with our meal - the meal was good at every turn. The guy serving us - who I took to be the owner - was super helpful with suggestions and very friendly. Everything we had was cooked fresh, so not super fast, but definitely in reasonable time. The chef was amazing. If you are looking for a place with truly good authentic food that falls a bit outside the New England Chinese staples, I strongly recommend Oxyear. This is a small local corner restaurant, but well worth the trip.

Where am I suppose to go for BBQ Pork Buns / Char Siu Bao buns ?…read more I posed this question in the Worcester FB group and most of them pointed me towards this restaurant. I've previously eaten here a few times, but I've never managed to stop by early enough for their Dim Sum lunch until now. As a side note, I cannot believe Worcester doesn't have ANY restaurants that serve these buns? Sounds like some enterprising individual needs to fulfill this void. I normally drive all the way to Joyful Garden in Watertown when I have a Dim Sum craving. Other times I will already be wandering through Boston before I stop by Hei La Moon. I came here with the expectation that I will get the same quality foods. This place has got a pretty darn big parking lot. I'm not going to count every spot on Google Maps, but it's about 50 spots. So it should not be hard to park. Walking inside, I was quickly greeted by the wait staff and directed to my table. I'm no interior design expert, so I will candidly say that the decor totally yells 'very Chinese' and elegant. I don't know man, just look at the interior pictures and you'll understand what I mean. If you've never done Dim Sum before, it can be very overwhelming. Someone with a cart will come by and you'll have several seconds to process what's available and say "Yes" or "No" through a variety of dishes they point at. And then before you can recover, another staff member will come by with another cart with towers of steaming baskets and you go through the song and dance again. I kid you not, in the average Dim Sum experience you will sit down and then have a table full of food literally within a few minutes. Before I knew it, I had 3 plates and 3 baskets on my table. The verdict? Totally delicious. I'm not going to talk about every dish I got and wax poetic one by one. I don't have time for that, and if you've been to one Dim Sum place, then you've been to all of them. I will give a few shoutouts for the sake populating this review with important keywords. Char Siu Bao bun / Baked BBQ Pork bun ; this is my favorite dish and precisely the reason why I came in. The bread is so light and the pork filling is so delicious sweet and savory. I'm in heaven Chicken Feet ; actually, I will note that the chicken feet here are not as flavorful as other places I've been to. This is a small nitpick because it still firmly lands in the delicious spectrum. It's the difference between scoring an A and an A- Random Pork Bun ; ??? I cannot find it on the menu, but I chose a set of 3 buns that were filled with pork. The bun style was closely similar to the chewy glutinous sesame balls and they were filled more yummy pork. I've never eaten these before. Shiu Mai ; holy sh** these are the biggest Shiu Mai I've ever eaten. I had an awesome experience here and I recommend it anyone in the area to give this place a shot if they don't want to drive all the way to Malden/Watertown/Boston/Quincy.

Experiences have ranged from a 3*** to 4****+ with the variable being both food and service…read more Definitely very good Chinese food worth the visit. Typically, you are quickly seated with the server checking in immediately and providing hot tea for the table. This is based on 3 recent visits, and weighted by the last visit which was a disappointment. The neon lights outside beckon you to come in. It's a brightly lit dining room with round tables typical a large Dim Sum restaurant in Boston. Perhaps a little too bright, but there is typically a table available. It offers late dining which is great. The food is certainly very good typically with good sized portions at a good value. The pan friend dumplings a large, tender and a great value. The Hunan and Sichuan dishes provide healthy portions. Definitely very good Chinese food for the area. It is typically served quickly and very hot. The service has been mixed. On a not so busy night, we felt ignored. It took a long time to get drinks (arriving with the food in one case) on one occasion.

Consistency of quality (texture, flavor) is less dependable. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Thick without being gloppy, filled densely with mushrooms, and hot in both the spice and temperature meanings. Simple and satisfying. -- Fish Filet with Green Sichuan Pepper: Had this one again and had the same great experience as described in the previous review. Thin broth but jumping with flavor. -- Twice Cooked Pork Belly 回锅肉 : A longtime favorite with instantly recognizable pork flavor, accented with black beans, and the added light crunch of leeks. It's a great combination. Tried twice during this cycle: once just right, once too fatty. -- Shredded Pork with Tea Tree Mushrooms 肉丝茶树菇 : A late August 2026 special with tender squiggles of pork balanced with sturdier "branches" of mushroom with an earthy flavor and a firm octopus-like texture. Nice balanced savory flavor without any need for heat. -- Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken 四川宫保 : A reliable standby when you want something with heat and flavor, but your dinner companions are not so adventurous. Very tender, a little sweeter than the "American" version and without the celery, but still authentic. -- F10 Fish Fillet in Chili Oil Sauce 水煮鱼 (on a lunch combo): This dish that I often get at night gives you nearly as much quantity on the lunch special, with a choice of soup, choice of rice, and choice of appetizer. Soft, tender boiled chunks in a bright red bath with a pile of red peppers and garlic on top (easy to remove anything you don't want), with cabbage and sprouts underneath. Spicy and best had in winter, but too good to skip in summer. I didn't get the promised numbing sensation this time, but it's a potently flavorful dish and one of my favorite renditions. -- Chicken Wing: Single whole connected wing included with a lunch combo was extra large, breaded, and very crunchy and juicy. No marinade flavor inside, so duck sauce was necessary. -- D03 Crispy Boneless Duck with Vegetables 蔬菜炸鸭 : Large platter of mostly duck, all of it with skin on, and most of it-- but not all of it-- crisp as billed. Minimal vegetation, which is a plus in that it maximizes meat but a minus if it's the only entree you're having. Simple flavor with a simple, thin brown sauce. Satisfying, but average. Interestingly, a taste from a friend's lunch special version of this dish a few weeks earlier had a lot more crisp, a lot more juiciness, and a lot more oomph to the sauce. Might depend on the day. -- F19 Crispy Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet 松鼠鱼 : Twin filets of fish, each about 10" long, boneless, extra extra crispy, and with fish within thin but still tender. The sauce was your typical Polynesian style fire engine red, with more sour than sweet, but nicely done with peas and without glop. A bit pricey but voluminous enough to provide plenty of meals and plenty of value. -- T06 Spicy Dry Pot Tofu 香锅豆腐 : A sauce less dish where the slices do the heavy lifting. Tofu triangles comprise about 80% of the pot, each one dark brown and a bit dry and over cooked. My wife, who's a tofu lover, said it was like chewing on rubber. The ledger shows mixed results from dish to dish and even from visit to visit for the same dish. But when they're on, Sichuan Palace is fabulous enough for a 5 (and some visits are 5). The inconsistency brings them down to a 4 (with some visits 3).

Plaza Parking Great…read moreplace for a sit down Chinese food place with good portions and prices. They have a large seating area with tables for smaller and large groups. They have a big parking lot although it took a weird turn for me to figure out how to get to the street. And my car did get in the lot so just a warning for that even though the lot was basically empty somehow my car was struck ‍The service was great, they were attentive and were pretty quick to get all food. For appetizer we got the crab rangoon and beef rolls which are both with a good sized portion although the crab rangoon was more heavy on the cream flavor. We got the large size of the hot n sour soup and the portion was a lot larger than expected for the price of $6. The noodles were a little let down, lacking some flavor this was both for the cold noodles and beef soup. The mapo tofu and the sichuan chicken were definitely my favorite, the mapo tofu had the perfect numbing flavor that I love.
