    Small potstickers
    Michael S.

    I ordered through doordash due to the ongoing pandemic. The only reason this did not get 5 stars was due to the lack of white rice with the chicken; it is not specified that rice is not included on the app and is generally included unless otherwise stated. The potstickers are thicc and remind me of ones I have had in Hangzhou (not vegetarian). Although General Tsao is an American dish, the composition of the chicken is more traditional and not like chicken nuggets from a fast food joint. The sauce covering the chicken is also not too sweet, but I will request it to be spicier next time I order. Portions are big and I will probably get a regular chicken with rice next time or a large potstickers for lunch. Overall this place appears authentic with good food

    Chicken wing for entree

    The food is always good and fresh. I usually order appetizers. Got an entree for the first time and sorely disappointed, the chicken is not nearly the size of the appetizer, nor is it as fresh. Makes me wonder if they use pigeons for entrees. Will give 5stars if and when I go back to appetizers.

    Sorry started eating before taking the picture almost forgot. Shrimp fried rice Bean sprout and onions, Pork spare ribs and 2 egg rolls.

    Wow I'm very impressed with the food quality and the presentation of the Take out plating. The food quality was fresh and very tasty. I'm not sure if they're under new management but when I bought food before years ago it was nothing compared to now. Now the food is way much better And they are very friendly.

    Salt and pepper chicken strips or tenders idk what ever it is was good got it by accident and I dog it all

    The best I've been eating here for years. Peter is nice guy unlike other Chinese food restaurants when you call and order there rude. the foods always A1.

    $13 Plate -- Orange Chicken, Crab Ragoon and Fried Rice. The Orange chicken was a tad undercooked (tasted flour).

    Boneless ribs were bomb--super flavorful and tender. Only downside was the lobster sauce, which tasted a bit old. Otherwise, solid meal!"

    TLDR: Potentially…read moreone of my favorite Chinese restaurants in all of Massachusetts! Beautiful interior, centrally located, and delicious, high-quality food. Will definitely find a reason to come back here soon. ------ FOOD: 1. [MUST TRY] STIR-FRIED CABBAGE W/ PORK BELLY (5/5) Presentation was phenomenal (in a clay pot with its own burner underneath to keep it hot). The portion was much larger than expected, and most importantly, it tasted incredible. Generous amounts of pork in this, and the sauce was authentic and addicting. 2. SCALLION CHICKEN (5/5) Another great choice. This was a huge portion with lots of tender chicken, and the scallion was present without being overpowering. 3. CRISPY BEEF WITH FRIED DOUGH STICKS (5/5) I was expecting Chinese you tiao but these were actually the small, ultra crispy manhua twists! Paired with the beef, this was a large and unique dish that I loved. The crispiness of the mahua made this a textural delight to eat. 4. MANGO SAGO DESSERT (5/5) Big portion, wonderful assortment of toppings including grapefruit, mango, sago, and popping balls over a creamy dessert soup base. 5. PEKING DUCK (4/5) I think I'm a tough critic since I just came back from Beijing and had so much Peking duck there. We ordered the half portion here and it had a generous amount of meat for not being the full portion. There were an assortment of accompaniments, including pineapple (new to me) and sugar (like the Beijing style) which were welcome additions. The wrappers were steamed well and didn't curl up on the edges. Overall this was a solid Peking duck, but the meat wasn't as standout as I was hoping. 6. STEAMED PORK SOUP DUMPLING (4/5) Solid soup dumplings. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely hit the spot. 7. SAUTEED PEA SPROUTS (4/5) Another solid classic. 8. PORK MEATBALL IN CRAB MEAT SAUCE (4/5) This was the most unique thing we ordered. I've never had a shi zi tou meatball with crab meat sauce before. The meatball itself was large (maybe size of a tennis ball), tender, and fatty, as it should be. It was then drowned in a generous lake of traditional crab meat sauce. If you're not a fan of crab meat then this might be a bit too fishy for you, but honestly it all combined surprisingly well and I grew to like this dish more and more with each bite. I wasn't the biggest fan to start, but by the end I wouldn't have minded getting another one! ------ AMBIANCE / ENVIRONMENT: * The interior has the classic Asian style of decor, but you can tell it was recently built / renovated because everything felt new and fresh. * The ambiance also felt more new-school luxurious vs. the typical Asian establishments that are more no-frills with as many tables packed in as possible * You're still somewhat close to the tables around you, but it's not overwhelming during lunch time and we still felt like we had enough space regardless * There's a bar area at the front of the restaurant and then a large, spacious dining room in the back * This is a great place for a date or a meaningful family gathering * Right outside is Boston Common, making this restaurant very well-located for lunch before or after a nice day in the park. While there's lots of parking around the park, a spot itself can be hard to come by, so your best bet might be to use the nearby parking garage instead ------ SERVICE: * Overall the service was great and quick. They did forget our tea, but when we asked for it later they apologized profusely and were quick to bring it out for us * This place fills up quickly so be sure to come early if you don't have a reservation or if you're a big enough group, make a reservation for your desired dining time

    Xiao Long Bao (5/10): Not worth ordering. To their credit, at least there was soup inside. The…read morefilling was not very flavorful, though. I had this with my Shanghainese relatives and they thought it was so bad Fish Slices w/ Pickled Mustard Greens (6.5/10): This tasted fine. The fish itself was not memorable. The spice level was ok, but could've been spicier. Crab Roe over Rice (7/10): Pretty tasty, but more of a side dish. Peking Duck (7/10): Honestly, I never order Peking duck unless I'm with my relatives. It tasted good to me, but pretty comparable to other Peking ducks I've had in the US. I think this is their #1 specialty dish or something, so knowing that, it doesn't really live up to the hype. tl;dr Too expensive for the quality of food you get.

Starting with an iPad menu, our ordering experience with our waiter was subpar. We ended up with extra things ordered that weren't part of our initial order. In good news the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fire and the waiter poured 5 glasses of water for 3 of us. So we could cool down without needing to flag him down. With the only non-Asian waiter in the restaurant, he struggled with basic elements of service. Inattentive. Requests went unmet (lemons for water). We sat for more than 15 mins after asking to box up leftovers and to close our check. This was all a little embarrassing, as we brought my boyfriend's father. After singing praises of the NYC spot, this was a disappointment.

One dish I would recommend is Xi'an Cold Rice noodles, it's an appetizer but was on par for a dish. The proportion was on the larger side and it had a perfect spice, all I have to say was it was delicious and for $9.95 you cannot go wrong. The dan dan noodles were good, but I would say the cold noodles were better. The golden buns were also great, a classic dish that is always loved with a great crisp. We did get the wrong sushi roll, unsure if they misheard us or if they thought we pointed to a different one but I'm glad they did because the Thunder Roll was delicious.

It may be because I was at the 5:30 seating, but it taste better cool, but not cold. 2. Not sure where the bottles of wine are stored, but our cab was warm. Analogous to the sushi, red wine is better cool to room temperature vs warm. Again, I am a big fan of this place.

I do think I'd order differently the next time around, but this was a solid meal. Shanghai fried pork noodle ($17.64) - these noodles are amazing. Perfectly bouncy and chewy with really tender pork and a great savory flavor, I'd 100% get these every time I come back here in the future. They were a little oily, but not so much that it was a negative. Everything just melded together really well and I basically inhaled this entire serving in minutes. I think the noodles are fresh noodles too - the texture and bounciness was just really really pleasant. 10/10 for these every time. Pan fried pork bun ($10.56) - I was a little less impressed with these. I really like dumplings with the thicker dough skin, but this was a fluffy bun type of wrapper instead. The meat inside was a little mushy, and the juices has seeped into the skin which I normally like with a chewy skin, but with this fluffy skin it just left a lot of the buns very soggy. And because the juice had seeped out of the meat, the meat was also a bit mushy inside. The taste was good but not a huge fan of these, though I'm sure they are better in person. Still, I've been here twice already and will keep coming back, especially for those delicious noodles!

We walked into a space with an energetic atmosphere, an open kitchen, a lively dining room, and a contemporary design that makes the restaurant feel both casual and polished. The layout encourages ordering several dishes for the table, and the variety across the menu makes it easy to build a meal that feels different with each visit. The small plates are the biggest draw because they let you try a wide range of flavors without committing to a single entrée. The pork belly buns are one of the signature dishes, featuring tender pork inside soft steamed buns with a balance of sweet and savory flavors. The dan dan noodles are another standout with their rich, spicy sauce, while the Brussels sprouts have developed a strong following thanks to their crispy texture and bold seasoning. We also appreciated that many dishes are available as half portions, making it easier to sample more of the menu without ordering too much food. The menu offers a good balance between familiar favorites and more creative dishes, with each plate feeling thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. There are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, making it easy for groups with different dietary preferences to find something they enjoy. The service matched the pace of the restaurant during our visit. The staff were attentive, dishes came out steadily as they were ready, and the servers were helpful with recommendations for building a meal around multiple small plates. The restaurant stays busy throughout the evening, so making a reservation is a good idea, especially for dinner or larger groups. Myers+Chang is one of the better places in Boston for creative Asian-inspired small plates. The combination of bold flavors, shareable portions, lively atmosphere, and consistently strong service makes it a restaurant that is easy to return to, especially if you enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of ordering a traditional entrée.

    Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't allow for half stars, but Yunnan Kitchen would be a solid 4.5/5 for me…read more A group of friends and I made the trek to the South End on a rather sad, rainy day, so we had high expectations for the food. For the most part, Yunnan delivered. We came in on a Sunday at 5 pm, and the restaurant was moderately busy. We were able to find seating and order relatively quickly. Based on one friend's suggestion and a bit of online help, we ordered the Boiled Fish Fillet in Chili Oil, the Mint Beef, the Potato Pancake, and the Stir-Fried Rice Cakes. Overall, the meal was pretty good. The stars of the dinner were the Stir-Fried Rice Cakes and the Mint Beef (which was realllyyyy minty and herbaceous), while the fish tasted pretty standard for a typical Chinese restaurant. The Potato Pancake added some nice texture, but it wasn't particularly memorable and I probably wouldn't order it again. Now you might ask... okay? Cozy restaurant, fast service, good food--why the 0.5 off? And sadly, it was the dessert. Call me picky, but this was the part I had the highest hopes for. After finishing our meal, we decided to get the Coconut Delight and the Devil Sweet Sticky Balls (their words, not mine). The Coconut Delight was... okay. The best part was the bread (three pieces per cup), which, when soaked in the coconut milk, was just heavenly. But beyond that, the dish resembled a rather sad, runny coconut sago. The Devil Sweet Sticky Balls weren't much better. We loved the texture of the rice balls (chewy!), but the brown sugar syrup tasted burnt and left a strange, bitter aftertaste. This may have been a one-off, so we'll have to return to verify (and when we do, I'll update this review). But to give Yunnan the benefit of the doubt, I'll round up to a full 5 stars for now. For main dishes, fast service, and a cozy ambiance, Yunnan hits all the right boxes (just not quite dessert!)

    The lighting here is very dim and gives off romantic vibes, although it's not necessarily a…read moreromantic spot. We came for dinner on a Sunday and it was fairly quiet. The food is authentic Yunnan cuisine, and while many menu items are labeled spicy, I wouldn't consider them very spicy. The flavors are more well-seasoned with just a slight hint of spice. The stir-fried rice cakes were delicious and reminded me of pad see ew in texture and flavor. The beef with longhorn peppers was very tender, and the sweet and sour pork had the perfect balance of crispiness, sweetness, and tang. The fish fillet in chili oil came in a huge portion, but I wished it had more spice. It tasted more like lightly spiced oil and lacked additional depth of flavor. I also did not enjoy the Dali mushrooms, as they were very dry and bland even with the side of chili powder. Overall, I would come back because the food is good, but if you're expecting bold heat, I recommend asking for a higher spice level. The service was okay.

    Clay Pot Cafe is one of the strongest spots in Boston for traditional Hong Kong-style clay pot rice…read moreand Cantonese comfort food. We walked into a small, casual dining room that feels reminiscent of the neighborhood cafés you would find in Hong Kong, with a simple, unpretentious setup that keeps the attention on the food. The space is compact and functional, the kind of place where the sizzle of clay pots arriving at tables fills the room and the aroma of soy and charred rice hangs in the air. It is not a place for lingering, especially during busy hours, but the focus stays on delivering authentic Cantonese flavors in a setting that feels true to its roots. The clay pot rice is the main reason to visit. Each pot arrives at the table still sizzling, with the rice developing the signature crispy layer along the bottom while staying fluffy on top. The meats absorb the sauce as the rice finishes cooking, creating a rich and comforting dish with plenty of texture. One of the most satisfying parts of the meal is scraping up the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot, which adds extra flavor and crunch to every bite. We ordered the clay pot rice with Chinese sausage and chicken, and the combination of the savory meats, the soy-based sauce, and the slightly charred rice came together in a way that felt both simple and deeply satisfying. The black pepper beef noodles are also worth ordering, offering a classic Hong Kong-style dish with tender beef and a savory black pepper sauce that pairs well with the restaurant's other specialties. The menu has a good variety beyond the clay pots, including soups, casseroles, noodle dishes, and other Cantonese comfort foods. It feels like the type of restaurant where you could return multiple times and still have plenty of different dishes to try. The portions are generous, making the meals filling without being overly expensive for the quality. The restaurant itself is fairly small, so seating can become limited during peak lunch and dinner hours. It is not the place to linger for a long meal, especially when there is a wait, but the food comes out hot and fresh, making the experience feel efficient. If you are planning to visit during a busy time, it is worth expecting a short wait for a table. Clay Pot Cafe is one of the strongest spots in Boston for authentic Cantonese clay pot rice. The sizzling rice, flavorful toppings, and traditional Hong Kong-style menu make it stand out from many other Chinese restaurants in the area, offering a meal that feels both comforting and distinct, and a destination for anyone who wants to experience properly made clay pot rice in an unpretentious setting.

The rice is well-seasoned and achieves that perfect, crispy layer at the bottom of the pot. ​The sautéed water spinach is an excellent side dish to add to your order, and the fresh lemon tea is balanced and refreshing.

The menu offers a wide variety of options, so it's easy to try different dishes beyond just dumplings. Everything came out quickly, and the portions were quite satisfying. The atmosphere is casual and lively, which makes it a great spot for a quick meal or a relaxed dinner with friends. Overall, a solid choice in Cambridge if you're craving authentic Chinese dumplings. I would definitely come back again.

    A dinner with my Korean friends revealed my current favorite Chinese restaurant in Boston!…read more Soup Steamed Dumplings Pork 小籠包: The dumplings were large, incredibly juicy, and the meat filling was tender and smooth. The seasoning was only slightly sweet, perfectly complementing the freshness of the meat. These were the best Xiaolongbao I've had in the US, although the skin was a bit soggy and unappetizing. Pork & Leeks Dumpling: My friend ordered these, opting for pan-fried dumplings. They were piping hot, incredibly fragrant, and the meat filling was tender. The chive flavor was mild, which is perfect since I don't like chives lol. A touch of vinegar was definitely needed to cut through the richness! Sliced Fish Szechuan Style: Calling them "sliced fish" is a bit of a stretch; "fish fillets" would be more accurate. They were probably made with basa fish, and the fish was incredibly tender, almost melting in your mouth. The broth was fragrant, and the numbing and spicy flavor was authentic, earning high praise from my friend from Sichuan. Lamb with Ginger & Scallions Onion: A perfectly good Beijing dish, but it was prepared with the feel of a Cantonese stir-fry, which suited my Cantonese palate perfectly. The lamb was incredibly tender, with no gamey taste, and stir-fried until the oil was visible but the sauce wasn't thickened. The sweetness of the onions and carrots added to the complex flavor. Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin: Just average, like a typical Shanghai style home-cooked meal. Nothing special to say. General Gao's Tofu 左宗豆腐: My first time trying the famous "General Tso" (I don't know why they call it General Gao) series of American Chinese cuisine. It felt similar to the technique used in Shanghainese "Kung Pao宮保." A slightly sweet and sour flavor with the aroma and mild spiciness of dried chili peppers, the ingredients were deep-fried and coated in a thick sauce. The tofu was overcooked, the edges were hard, and the sauce became a bit watery towards the end. This dish was just okay.
