Great chinese rice flavor, delicious dumplings! It was my favorite place for fried rice but due to a developed of an allergic reaction to soy, I wasn't able to come back. Last week I went back to buy fried rice and dumplings for a friend of mine who love it and has been supporting her husband who is in a rehab facility. Both love it!!! read more

I saw that PuPu only had 3.6 stars that's a crime this place is awesome I love that lobster sauce and shrimp plate

It was alright the rice was good chicken wing need a more crispy taste to them the lobster sauce was good

Food is exceptional and the staff goes above and beyond to assure that your order is correct and delivered while it's still hot.

Food was ok. Nothing to write home to mom about. Hot and sour soup was thick and comes only in 1 large size. Pu pu platter was ok. The boneless ribs were my favorite. read more

Pu Pu Restaurant - Fried rice, wings and boneless spareribs - Chinese Near Me - West Roxbury, Massachusetts

Honestly, I thought the food was quite disappointing and lacking flavor. Although the portions were big, the food was more on the level of Chinese buffet quality. Not much sauce on the General Tao's chicken, the lo mein was insanely salty, and there weren't many wontons in the wonton soup (2 in a big container). Oh well, there are plenty of other Chinese spots with way better food for the same price - we won't return here. read more

Hands down best fast food Chinese spot. I've order multiple times from here and always serve the freshest food. Never soggy, never old, and service always on time. read more

Very nice people and the food is good. The owner is very informative about what they make their food with.

We usually order at another chinese restaurant around the area but they don't deliver any more since the pandemic. We just started ordering here since last year( we're from Florida) as our gift on Mother's Day/Father's day/birthdays/Christmas for our families in West Roxbury. All our relatives say the food is fresh and delicious! We usually order pupu platter, Mongolian beef, shrimp with lobster sauce, egg foo yong, pork lomein and house special fried rice. They deliver and all the staff are very nice, welcoming and friendly specially Jun / Sam who are our main contacts. Thank you very much for doing such a great job in making this possible for us even when we're thousand miles away from Boston! read more

This is no fancy 5 star restaurant, but as a local chinese takeout spot they do three things right. Excellent food, large portions and certainly cooked to order. Fast service, Under 35 min delivery and about 15 min pick up. Excellent prices, there are plenty of spots around that charge the same, if not more for much less food at a lower quality. I sat inside to eat here recently and it definitely felt like a blast from the past, the decor, the loud mandarin being shouted, and the smells. Authenticity is priceless. read more

Always super friendly when you come in to pick up your food. Great neighborhood place and it's super fast. The new sauce for General Tso's Chicken is really good! read more

Pu Pu Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - West Roxbury, Massachusetts

Decided to try a new American Chinese place, and Pu Pu was as advertised- pretty solid for what it is. We got a pu pu platter (because their name nearly demands it), and it was a winner. Their boneless spareribs are both more flavorful and more plentiful than some other places, which I love because they're my go-to, and I'm glad we got ourselves an extra side so that we had plenty to go around. Their chicken wing was nicely fried and juicy with perfectly rendered fat, and the batter on the appetizer fried chicken/shrimp is just right for this kind of cuisine (thinner layer than others but still pillowy, crispier outside than others), though FYI their duck sauce for dipping is significantly more brown than the usual orange. I also didn't see a ton of crab rangoon on their menu and no chicken teriyaki, as an FYI- and the beef teriyaki and egg roll were pretty standard. I liked the variety of menu choices overall- the usual sections (chicken, chow fun, etc) but also a mandarin/szechuan section, where we found string beans that did indeed have a tiny kick and served as a nice veg side. They had something called "Hawaiian Shrimp" (or Chicken/Beef) which I decided to check out since this is a place that seems focused on 'polynesian-style American Chinese'- of course it's the opposite of authentic, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was chock full of all kinds of different veggies plus pineapple, which made it a balanced meal on its own. The sauce wasn't as sweet as sweet and sour but was kind of in the same vein (maybe like, half that and half standard 'brown sauce')- I'm not sure I'd order it again, but I don't regret ordering it. The veg fried rice I put it ontop of wasn't my favorite though (not very flavorful, had mushrooms instead of carrots), so I might stick to plain rice or pork fried rice next time. Portions were huge, prices were reasonable, food arrived still piping hot. read more

Best pu pu platter out there. They give you a lot and it is always hot and fresh at a more than generous price. It can feed a family of 5. read more

We were recommended to go here from an acquaintance. While we were there, a regular customer asked if this was our first time there and then said this place was the best! They both were right. The service was fast and friendly. They were not impatient as some restaurants can be. We took out the food. When we arrived him, it was still too hot to handle! They even placed cardboard between the containers to keep them from crushing. The only knock is that the mustard for takeout was more sweet than spicy. We had the shrimp fried rice, broccoli in oyster sauce, and Szechuan chicken. All were delicious! Will definitely be back. read more

The service is very quick. They give you plenty of food. They also give you a big portion of food.

This is a neighborhood Chinese takeout and delivery place. I've had way worse and very few better. If this place is in your neighborhood its where you should go to get basic take out Chinese food. Oh, and they deliver quickly, consistently and politely. Every neighborhood should have a Chinese take-out joint like this. read more

If i could put zero stars.... I would. Myself and my team ordered take out for the first time today and i couldn't have been less impressed. The rice had a sour/stale taste. The general gaos chicken was so hard and dry that i couldn't even get the fork through it! I would comment on my associates plates as well but i'll let them add their feedback individually. read more

Pu Pu Restaurant - general tsaos chicken - Chinese Near Me - West Roxbury, Massachusetts

I drive by Pu Pu Restaurant on the way to work so I decided to give it a try. I had the egg foo young, pork fried rice and boneless spare ribs. The serving was more than enough for dinner. There are a few booths to sit at for those who choose to dine in. The price was right. I think my meal was reasonably priced under $9.00. I was not disappointed and should I have the urge for Chinese food, I will definitely go back. read more

This restaurant has been around for my whole life and though it has changed management, it has been a cheap reliable source of tasty Chinese food. My choices don't vary much so I can't speak for the whole menu, but based on what I have ordered it is definitely worth it. My go to include pork fried rice, beef teriyaki, and general tso's chicken. You get plenty of food for under $10 and it's quite delicious. My only complaint would be that they put too much sauce on the chicken and occasionally it has too much breading. For the price you pay and the amount of food you receive, you can't go wrong. The Peking ravioli here has absolutely amazing and to die for. The price is fair and the food is flavorful. I highly recommend you purchase these. I've never gotten delivery, but it's around a 10 minute wait for your food depending on when you arrive. I can't speak for this part myself, but my wife swears by the horseradish sauce here. I'm not a fan of horseradish, but she's tried all sorts of varieties and this is one of her favorites. Edit: Editing almost a year later. This place is still amazing with great portions for the price. Beef teriyaki sticks and Peking ravioli are still my favorite. My wife still swears by the horseradish. The manager Jun is an incredibly charismatic kind human being. The order taker and expeditor Luke is another friendly hard working dude. This place will be keeping my business foreseeable future. Please get the Peking ravioli. It's the bomb. read more

This place had decent tasting food, but it was expensive and I have never had such stomach issues after eating Chinese food before. Everyone in our house was fighting over the bathroom. We ordered lo mein, fried rice, and chicken fingers. Next time, we will order from somewhere else. read more

This spot doesn't clean they're shrimp properly. I ordered a combo shrimp fried rice plate Nd there was poop all along the shrimp DISGUSTING . read more

I got a massive stomach ache when I ate here. It was not what i expected food wise and the inside was completely dirty

Great food and delivery. The owner and staff always courteous and professional. Plenty of sauces, fortune cookies and the like always included. They also offer free items at different monetary tiers. read more

Pu Pu has been our goto Chinese restaurant for more than 25 years! Mostly a take-out/delivery place, they do have a very few booths to also dine in. They have a good selection on their menu, pretty much what most Chinese restaurants in the area offer, but theirs is fresher tasting for some reason. Yes we have tried others in our area, and been disappointed. That said, on rare occasion they have underwhelmed us, but rarely! read more

This isn't Chinese food, or even food for that matter. I felt like a horse chewing hay, or a farmer making due with old mutton during a famine. I'm Chinese and I've tried it 2-3 times to give "my people" the benefit of the doubt. I really wanted to like it, because it's so close to my house! But everything tastes the same, because everything is cooked in the same thick, re-used oil. (If you didn't know, cheap Chinese restaurants re-use the oil to save resources so it's chock full of cholesterol. Why else would the prices be so dirt cheap?) That fried rice is the rice from yesterday or the day before-- once it's fried you can't taste it's old anymore. Nice way to cut corners. The BBQ pork strips were completely pink, perhaps pinker than my childhood Barbie's dress. Wonder how healthy and organic that's gotta be. You won't see Chinese people dipping meats in the wasabi-like mustard, but I guess you might as well when the food is bland, fat, and nauseating. read more

Yikes! This place really is "PuPu". Fried rice was sooo dry. The General Gao's was in some type of store bought ah-so sauce... yuck! Don't mean to be so crytical, but I have to. In short, there is no decent Chinese food in West Roxbury. Looks like I'll be taking the drive to Mandarin Gourmet in Putterham Circle next time. read more

Only two things need be said. 1. This place lives up to its name, so read that name carefully. How did I fail to notice before entering this joint? 2. The men behind the counter on the day I mistakenly blundered into this nasty little place were surly and rude. They went the distance to make bad food even less enjoyable. If you are hungry, just go any place else. No other food establishment will be worse, and any will probably be better. read more

Unfortunate name (Pu Pu), but the food is classic Chinese. It is exactly what you would expect from a Chines restraunt in the Boston area. I liked the fact Pu Pu wants your business and when it screws up on a delivery order it offers coupons and sometimes will correct the issue on the spot. Delivery times are reasonably good. Honestly, ever since I moved to Boston I've been let down by the Chinese food. Pu Pu is best of the mediocre lot of choices I have within a 5 mile radios of where I live. Not a ringing endorsment - granted. read more

One of the biggest negatives about Boston is the fact that almost everything food related closes around 9pm. I know that there are the exceptions to this but it's slim pickings, depending on where you live. The nice thing about Pu Pu is that it is open late (around midnight). There really nothing too special about this place other than that. The food isn't the worst you'll ever have but don't go in expecting the best. I feel like they may have a lot of their things on the menu pre-made so that when someone orders it, they can have it up right away. Sometimes the rice can be a little clumpy and the sweet and sour chicken is very pastey. Again, not the greatest of places but I've had much worse and, at least, this doesn't make me feel sick afterwards! I guess that can be put in as a plus for this place, haha. I honestly don't mind this place once in a while but it's not my "go to" place if I have other options to choose from. Check it out...maybe!!! -Papa Bear read more

Moving from Winthrop to Needham last summer really made it difficult for me to find & order (be it pick-up or delivery) food late-night, on any night. For the first 6 months living in Needham, i was highly disappointed when i would get super hungry (& too lazy to cook) & i couldnt find any restaurant open past 10 for some quick/fast food. (Im no fan of the usual fast food drive through chains. ) The food is great. One of the best pick-up fast food chinese places ive been to..... & I have enough to fill me up with 2 left over plates i can make from whatever i dont eat. read more

I've ordered from them a few times and it's just ok. Their portion sizes are good but the quality of the food is not. Very greasy, filled with too much msg and it leaves something to be desired. The delivery is fast and that's a plus. Their location is hard to find parking, leaving delivery as the only option for me. The Hunan Chicken was good, but their Pu Pu platter was awful. They also have the absolute worst crab rangoons I have ever had. I love crab rangoons and these were terrible, absolutely terrible, I was so disappointed. If you are craving cheap chinese food, there are better locations in the area. read more

Working in the City allows me to try all sorts of places. I have eaten at PuPu a few times. The food is hot, very hot, and quickly served. There is not table service. You order at the counter, they call you and you take it and eat. There are no frills here. They have good portions of food and it is rather flavorful. And the food is relatively cheap. Actually one of the lower priced places I have seen in a while. I would definitely go back. For those buffons that say that the food has too much MSG...how do you know? You can't taste it. So your thirsty...salt does the same thing. Besides...this is CHINESE FOOD. Go order a salad if you didn't want to be thirsty. read more

I never write reviews (first time) but pupu is the best kept secret around here. My husband and I do delivery and pick up they are quick no matter what you do. Our first time ordering with them we got several soup because I figured with the cost they must be small- WRONG! The soups are like two dollars and they come in these big Styrofoam pints that you can make two or three servings out of. We've literally been eating their soup twice a week and everyone is delicious especially the chicken noodle and the wonton. I also love their Szechuan noodles we've done chicken wings and spareribs as well.There always so friendly and honestly there the neighborhood spot I'm glad we discovered read more
