Quan&#x27;s Kitchen

An old school Chinese bucket list place, largely due to the extra dark fried rice I've seen photos…read moreof online. Respectable looking dining room with respectable looking Asian art, as opposed to heavy-duty tiki decor (not that there's anything wrong with either). Separate bar. Very deep and easy to navigate menu, most notable for combination plates being available around the clock and many of the classic items available in both small and large sizes. Egg Roll: Crisp shell with an interesting concoction inside, boasting chopped celery, carrots (not common), pork crumbles, and an unusual seasoning sort of along the lines of five spice but even more fragrant. A little crunchy, a little moist. Above average. Wontons: Crunchy. Nothing special but nothing wrong with them. Standard. Spareribs: Good sized bones with white cross sections, bright red glaze adequately applied, and some char in almost every bite. Juices trickling. Well above average to near-elite, but on a scale of how much it takes you back to the golden era of old school New England Chinese Food, it's off the charts. Chicken Wings: More crisp than they looked, with juicy interiors and a pleasing five spice flavor. Well above average. Sweet and Sour Chicken: A small order still netted at least a dozen large golden nuggets, perfectly crisped. A little heavy on the oil and very light on the chicken compared to the batter. Sauce was served on the side in a small bowl with a very small amount of it, enough for barely half of the fingers. The sauce itself was a little darker than most and very, very, very thick, like cold honey. Decent standard flavor, no surprises beyond the rigid sludgy texture. Two pineapple chunks. All things considered, a little below average, but doable. Pork Fried Rice: The moment I was waiting for turned out to be a little underwhelming. Yes, the rice was darker than most. No, the flavor didn't live up to that color, and neither did the moisture; it was a little on the dry side. Also a little less pork than most. It certainly wasn't bad; I'd say slightly above average. Lobster Sauce: Dark, smooth, strong flavored, not salty, and just a hint of gloppy. Good cling to the rice when added and very enjoyable for both flavor and texture. Definitely above average. Moo Goo Gai Pan: This is a dish I haven't had for at least 30 years, so I can't really compare to the competition. Sure, it was very subtle of flavor, but the chicken was of high quality, cut well, tender, and moist. Service was excellent. Value was excellent. Parking was easy. If I lived nearby, I'd go fairly often.

No parking. Run down food is just ok. Nothing to talk about. Staff was ok. Won't be back.read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time today, and it will certainly be my last. Ordered…read morealmost $100 worth of food, made up of 5 combination dinner dishes. 3 of these were rice plates, with shrimp lobster sauce, and egg foo yung, all with fried rice. When I got home with these take outs, 30 min ride away, I opened my takeout boxes to have lunch. The two fried rice plates were spoiled, Not "not too fresh" or "a bit stale".. They had that outright spoiled smell, like when you leave food out un-refrigerated for about 3 days. I had to put these in the trash. Then I smelled the shrimp lobster sauce, which were packaged separately from the spoiled rice and didn't smell spoiled.. I had fresh white rice at home, so I added the lobster sauce to make my own lunch plate. Then I put the lobster sauce into my mouth and my head was filled with question marks.. The lobster sauce was SWEET! I've had lobster sauce from 2 or 3 hundred Chinese takeout places. Some are more salty than others, some have a black bean taste; it varies. But this is the first time when I've had lobster sauce where the dominant taste was sweetness. That's not what I wanted. It's like having coffee but instead of sweet someone added salt. Or having spaghetti but with maple syrup. It tasted weird, and unpleasant. I had to throw this out too. So, out of 5 dishes, 3 were spoiled, 1 was weirdly and inappropriately sweet, and the last one, according to my son who ate it, said it "wasn't very good". I write many reviews, and read them too. When I see a one star review citing horrible customer service or whatever, I mostly attribute those to the owners of nearby rival restaurants, trying to kill the business of a competitor. Here I am giving a one star review for the first time. If you feel skeptical, please feel free to read some of my other restaurant reviews. I tend to be very detailed and descriptive, and I call it like it is. I have no interest in artificially boosting or hurting a restaurant's ratings. I am just a guy wo eats out a lot and like to share my personal experience and opinions. So, for this time, my advice is to stay away from this very bad restaurant.

This was our first time back to GG in a couple of years - yikes! And not gonna lie, it was…read moredisappointing. We had takeout, which was packed carefully and packaged as neatly as ever - the hot items in one bag, the cold items in another bag -to make it home in a reasonable time. Where things went wrong: Chicken Teriyaki skewers had zero teriyaki glaze and instead were coated - WELL COATED - in a non-removeable green curry covering. There was absolutely no connection between these skewers and teriyaki. None of us cares for curry, so that was trashed since the cat sat back and said "absolutely not!" Pad Thai with the Chicken and Shrimp option had two (2) medium shrimp, so I guess that counts as multiple shrimp . . . the chicken was dry but at least it was plain, no curry. However, unlike the well coated curried skewers, there was virtually no Pad Thai sauce. The sauce that makes the bland rice noodles come to life was MIA. After much discussion and pulling the stuck together noodles apart, we did think that a very scant spoonful of sauce had been added to the very center of the container, making it a bit more Pad Thai-ish than the bare noodles in the other 2/3 of the takeout container. Pulled out the chicken bits and those two shrimp and trashed the rice noodles because I didn't even have a store-bought packet of Pad Thai sauce on hand to zhush it up! On the cold side, the go-to order of sushi Chirashi was good, fortunately because we were down two dishes out of three! Note to self: live and learn, keep to the Japanese side of the menu, and stop expecting a restaurant to do more than one style of cooking well, it never happens the way you hope it will!

It was really great. I am a white woman raised by white parents. In the 80s my dad went rogue into taekwondo for a black belt and immersed himself fully in the culture. He began making Szechuan food. I've eaten a lot of Chinese and Asian food and i don't usually go for it because there's so much bad and greasy. I prefer Japanese, usually, but when my dad started cooking Szechuan, we tried a wide variety of very authentic restaurants in Boston Chinatown, I know what I'm eating. This one hits the mark. We tried three things for range and shared. A beautiful rare black pepper and sesame seared tuna over salad, with super fresh fish, the level of pepper was on point. It was great. We had the pu pu platter for one which was a ton of food and delicious. The spare ribs were tender, the marinade on the chicken wings was so nice and the crab Rangoon were little fatties and fully stuffed with the perfect blend of crab and cream. We had the crazy chow fun (foon) with beef but without the spiciness so it was regular beef chow fun. Again the meat was tender and the wide noodles had the right amount of sauce. I had a scorpion bowl, it hit. I've seen some ugly reviews on here and honestly think two of the people whose last names start with S worked together on bashing this place, not cool Brian and Jen. Take out food will always be compromised by packing it, steam and travel. Don't judge food like that. This is the place for a fun first date, get a scorpion bowl for two. Get lit and share the Pu Pu platter to start. Check your compatibility on the old school Chinese zodiac placemat, love this. The ambiance is sultry red and dimly lit. People were definitely enjoying themselves. Gave me all the feels and memories of dark lounges, dens of iniquity, red lamps of my twenties. Ahhh...miss that time. I'm a hard sell. Gourmet garden is really good, and you should go. This is something I have should have enjoyed many times over by now.

I was appalled but said nothing as it was not my business. The food was good but not as hot as it should have been. We certainly would have enjoyed it more if it came to us hot. I usually tip 20% but I gave her 15% and that was a gift! Someone needs to inform these people that how one is greeted in a restaurant is of utmost importance and leaves a long lasting impression.

Hopefully they will read this review and make the necessary changes to get more people through their doors!
