Second visit was disappointed. Radish cakes lacked shrimp and scallions. Deep fried dumplings had very little meat. Steamed pork buns had nasty meat quality. Beef balls too thick and flavorless.

Pork intestine hot pot

I love this place for specific dishes: pork intestines hot pot, salty fish fried rice! I don't think any place in Manchester has those two dishes that cooked as good as this place. When ordering pork intestine hot pot, you should order white Rice to eat with it. The service is nice too, never have any trouble while dining here This is like a family vibe restaurant, very cozy. I always come here for a quick meal

Little bit of everything.

Acceptable Chinese food for the area. Food arrived quickly and drinks were on point. We walked in with 14 people Sunday at 6 pm. No wait.

Do you want dim sum but don't want to go all the way down to Boston and deal with the traffic and parking? Then this is the place to go! This is one of the only places in NH that has dim sum. We tried pretty much everything and everything was great. Everything was fresh and hot, unlike some of the more popular Boston dim sum places where things have been sitting out for a while so it's lukewarm. Out of everything we've tried, here are some things we recommend: Chicken claw in black bean sauce: this might be a bit more adventurous pick for most, but it is so good. Not too salty, but perfectly pairs with a side of white rice. Not the easiest to eat, but chewy and very good. Shrimp in rice rolls: This is a dim sum staple we get everywhere, and theirs is really chewy outside and has no fishy smell to shrimp. Sesame balls and egg tarts: These came out hot and delicious. Goes well as dessert. Aside from the food, the service was also really fast, and the servers were very accommodating and jovial. And to top it all off, the prices were much more reasonable than Boston places. So this place has it all: the good food, great service and very reasonable prices. Definitely check this place out.

From top, left to right:  Traditional sticky rice,  char sui bao (BBQ pork steamed buns), beef chow fun

I've been coming to North Garden with my family since I was young at their very first location which is now Pizza 911. The food is always fresh tasting, and the staff is always very welcoming and accommodating. Since their inclusion of dim sum on the menu I almost always come for it. My favorite is the sui Mai. The restaurant has an inviting dining area with a small bar with opposite side having a large lounge and bar. There is something for everyone.

Stream pork & shrimp dumplings, Shumai, and spare ribs with black beans sauce.

Great Cantonese style food! We have dinner and tried their dim sum next day. The dim sum is freshly made on weekend. The shrimp rice noodles and rice noodles with dry shrimp are super silky smooth . Found out they're in business for 30+ years. It's nice to know great Chinese food in New Hampshire.

Moved up here after 20yrs in Boston and 3 years in China. This place is the oasis in the desert of…read moreAsian cuisine in these parts. God I could hug the owner for coming all the way up here. It's not just good because every other Asian restaurant around (I could actually say all of NH and not be wrong I think) is mid and below, it's actually standalone great. The flavors beat a lot of my fav Chinatown spots. Steal my order for 2 and you'll go home happy Twice cooked pork - extra spicy Fish fillet in spicy Sichuan broth Mapo Tofu Plus, they got self serve Keno... Long live House of Noodles 面之家万岁!

An excellent find! The menu is SO large you'd think they couldn't handle it, and perhaps they can't…read morebut certainly they nailed both of our orders. One Thai (eggplant) and one from Shaanxi China region (Biang Biang). I ordered the Biang Biang extra spicy but I'm guessing they didn't believe me. It was tasty but regular spice level. It's clear that there were actual Szechuan peppers in it - characteristic tingle effect. Which is nice to see now that the US has decided they're not poison after all. The braised eggplant with Thai basil (hence known as basil eggplant in most Thai restaurants) was creamy in texture and rich in flavor. The meal started with hot and sour soup, which was surprising. The cup was quite large and the soup was absolutely packed with ingredients. Tofu, wood ear mushrooms, lily buds and more. Super satisfying, although I ordered a side of black vinegar to get it a bit more sour. The prices were super reasonable for normal portions but the portions weren't normal - they were HUGE. Half the noodles went home with me as well as half the braised eggplant. Hard to see how they support such huge portions without correspondingly huge prices.

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.

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.
