Chow Foon (8/10): Extremely solid, with plenty of wok hei. I always judge chow foon off of the beef, and they did pretty well here. It was tender and flavorful. Noodles had perfect texture. Chicken Quarter Appetizer (7/10): This was pretty good fried chicken. Very crispy. I think Cafe Mami in Porter Square still does it better. It was a bit too greasy for me. It's VERY value though ($9.99 for a massive piece) Bolo Bao w/ Silky Scramble Egg (8.5/10): I haven't had this combo before, but it was very good. Their silky scramble egg dishes are a must-try. Cream-Filled French Toast topped with Ovaltine (9/10): Delicious. They somehow made cheese work with this. I applaud it. Baked Pork Chop w/ Portuguese Sauce (8.5/10): Portuguese sauce was delicious. Pork was tender and flavorful. Cheese on top was delicious. We waited about 90 minutes for Saturday lunch. I would highly recommend not coming with more than 4 people. If you do, you should split your party. They only have one large table. Service was very good, though. Food came out super fast.

Bayou Cafe is one of my favorite Hong Kong style restaurant in Massachusetts. The restaurant has…read morevery limited parking spaces in front of the restaurant, maybe enough for three or four cars? Be prepared to find street parking and even do a little walking. As for wait time, I have been here twice during lunch and on the second trip I did have to wait 20 minutes for a table. The restaurant was packed and there were plenty of takeout orders throughout the meal when I dined in both time. Clearly, a local favorite. You can try the trio appetizer that lets you try the fish ball, fish dumpling, and rice rolls. It's the right amount to share with three people and each person gets a taste of the three appetizers. My favorite had to be the rice balls, followed by the fish dumplings, and last the rice noodles. Of the toasts I have tried so far, I preferred the sweet toast dessert filled with milk as opposed to the truffle egg toast. For entree, I have to say, the fried chicken with the omelet egg is a must try. Next would be the Hainese chicken. Then third with be the sorrowful rice, which is two fried eggs and bbq pork. Everything was so flavorful. You have to try the milk teas. If you prefer sweet, go for the ice bear milk tea, but if you like a bit bitter, go for the hot version and add sugar to your preference. Overall, food came at a fast pace, service attentive. There is plenty of seating end even seating in a private dining space for a larger group of 10 or so in the back of the restaurant. I would definitely be coming back. See my pictures.

Turns out, my family has been getting their salted chicken & soy sauce chicken from here all along! We got half a salted chicken & half soy sauce chicken to go, plus extra ginger scallion oil. I LOVE GINGER SCALLION OIL! THIS over rice, chef's kiss. Simple but so darn good. Def a hole in the wall kind of spot, but don't knock it until you try it! I will be back to try their other menu items. Looks like they offer Hong Kong styled food like the baked chicken/ pork with cheese & curry or tomato sauce and wonton noodle soup. The salt & pepper chicken wings look absolutely delicious.

Between my friend and I, we ordered three items. We started off strong with the salt and pepper chicken wings. They were perfectly fried, sprinkled with salt, and adorned with fresh jalapeños. Then we got the curry beef brisket with rice. The beef is so hearty and tender. The sauce sopped up every morsel of rice. And the star of the show was the baked pork chop rice with tomato sauce. This dish was so satisfying. It's a crispy pork chop over a bed of fried rice. Ladled on top is a blanket of tomato sauce and gooey cheese. If it is your first time eating at Jinye Cafe , please order the baked pork chop rice with tomato sauce. It is like a hug in a bowl. Jinye Cafe has three available tables.

It was pretty busy when I ordered, so they waited until I found a seat before making the sandwich to keep it fresh. About 15 minutes later, it arrived. The sandwich looked great--juicy, well-seasoned chicken on a soft, fluffy bun. My only complaint was the slaw, which didn't have much flavor. I was hoping for a bit more acidity to balance the sweetness of the bun, but overall it was still a solid sandwich. Just a heads up: it's a small spot with very limited seating.

Everytime I drive pass, I will always make an effort to stop in to grab something for her.

Also, not sure why the place is hardly ever busy whenever Im there, really quite surprised tbh. Anyway, definitely a must-try if you like mangoes.

Our food came with a complimentary drink so we had to try the "Ice Baby Milk Tea" drink which came with a frozen "baby chef" that later melted---the milk tea was absolutely delicious that tasted just like the milk tea I've had in Hong Kong. Favorite dishes of the evening: The hand-shredded chicken. Our cousin orders this every time they come and I can totally see why. It was tender and so flavorful! String Bean w/Ground Pork--it's diced up pretty small and my daughter loved this dish. Popcorn Chicken--crispy crunchy and so flavorful--I like that these aren't spicy Sour/spicy fish and pickled mustard greens stew--this was my favorite dish of the night. The pickled mustard worked so well with the tender flaky fish!

The minced string beans with beef were so addicting, I couldn't stop eating it with white rice. She got us a whole chicken that came with two side orders of rice. Not sure if it comes with one or two, maybe she ordered an extra one for us. The salt and pepper squid were ok. A little soggy due to the delivery but were still solid after placing it in the over. The ginger scallion that came with the chicken, amazing. I love the ginger aroma. It had more ginger to scallion ratio. I highly recommend giving this place a try. And if you can, dine in!

So despite the fast and efficient service, you should make sure there is available seating prior to deciding eat in or takeout (I made this mistake). I'm a huge fan of crispy pork.

The bbq pork was okay and somewhat dry. All was over a generous serving of rice and all at a great value of around $15. I'll give them another shot but this time it did not live up to expectations sadly.
