I got an angry e-mail from a person whos family has lived in East Boston for four generations because I called their neighborhood ghetto. To be fair my original review was probably not accurate if you frequent the establishment during daylight hours. Im sure the area is devoid of drunk people at those times and is probably pretty enjoyable save for the bags of trash left out for the trash trucks to pick up. Regardless the ghettoness of the neighborhood may be a matter of opinion and I will stand firm with my opinion because I grew up in Boston and have been to this place over 20 times to eat and have witnessed many things in there. What isnt a matter of opinion is how delicious the SCALLION PANCAKES are!! Ive searched far and wide for Chinese restaurants in other American states to have such a dish but most of them have never heard of it. I suspect that the scallion pancake might be a local American Chinese food endemic to at least the Northeastern U.S. but definitely not a national dish. If you go there get an order of scallion pancakes and dip it in the ginger sauce. They are to die for! Only literally to die for if you eat them every day since they are fried...) Also NOTE: I havent been there since 2015, so if the quality has dipped at all I apologize I was not able to verify. Also read the original review if you want to know more about the food and what its like there at night.

Worst meal I have ever paid for. The sesame chicken was 75% bread and soaked in a red sauce, with the sesame seeds spread over just one chunk of the "chicken". It was just a sponge-like piece of breaded chicken which tasted nothing like it was supposed to. Dont even think about the Lo-Mein, it is very surprising how such a simple recipe was be made to be so terrible. The Chicken Lo-Mein we ordered offered us nothing but stale noodles with un breaded pieces of what was supposed to be chicken but resembled the organs of some other type of animal. Yes the delivery was fast but the presentation, and the actual finish for the food was beyond sub-par. I will never order from this place again, nor will I recommend it to those I care about. Do yourself a favor and order from somewhere else if you care about what you eat.

The first order I tried to put in was with Apple Pay. They informed me that they did accept this form of payment, proceeded to take the money off of my card, then asked me if I had a physical copy of the card to give them which defeats the whole purpose of asking whether or not they took Apple Pay. I informed them that no, I did not. So they voided my order but my money has yet to be returned. I ordered again (due to the fact that I am stuck in the airport over night) using a different card. There were no problems with the second transaction but the food was mediocre. Would not recommend the chow mein.

Dont see why this has been getting harsh reviews lately. Still the go-to spot in east Boston late night. Cant go wrong with their Pork fried rice, lo mein, boneless spare ribs or chicken fingers. (Definitely prefer these here than at kowloons, or at the place two doors over) Food is always ready in seemingly 10 minutes or less whenever I call to pickup. Portions are generous and they havent changed recipes or dropped their standards in the 15 years Ive been coming here.

7.5/10 (for American Chinese) TLDR: Good drunk/ late night food Place is open till 3pm daily, seating for 20+, private bathroom, parking near by, air conditioning, decent customer service. First time I was here, they messed up my order. However this ended up in my receiving free food after they fix my order which is always nice. For an individual I would just recommend the combos, anything more just get the family size if available.

Food was was the worse food ive ever had fried rice was a few pcs of pork and tons of soy sauce .S&S chicken was pcs of batter fried chicken and 2 oz of some bitter red sauce thats all. Beef Nd string beans as everything else flavorless. Bonless spare ribs 3/4fat discusting im not all that picky but for $55 it should have bern edible duck sauce was some bitter vinegar thick orange stuff not ckoae to sweet

Experience = Awful. Walked in and got no attention. Girl taking our order wasnt helpful at all. I specifically asked for crab Rangoon and got fried dough stuffed with cheese. Also stated to eat in and served us in take-out plates. Yoi have to get up and get your own food and OWN EATING UTENSILS, which werent given to us on the tray with our food. Never coming here again and wouldnt recommend it.

I call this drunk food (though I was sober). It tastes great at 2am and the rest of the day it is ok. For $10 you can get a huge portion of fried rice with 2 sides and a soda. Nothing to write home about, but if you are stuck at Logan airport and hungry at midnight there isnt many options. Staff is nice

The bathroom is always out of soap very disgusting. Last two times I ate here I got very sick. A few months ago the morning after eatting there I was vomiting and had diarrhea all night and day. Had to go to the hospital. This time more diarrhea. Do not go here.

Sadly, Im having difficulty finding a truly amazing Chinese take-out joint since an "incident" at my usual go-to. Great Chef is solid, though, and gets the job done. Theyre even open til 3am, which is truly a miracle around here.

4 star & $$. You really cant beat this place. The food is amazing and the portions are large. Very good service and fast delivery make this one of my favorite Chinese Restaurants in Boston.

Food is always hot and fresh, for decades, never misses, after work or after the club, an institution to anyone who has ever worked at Logan or lived in the area

I called to order. Very very rude. Could not deliver to an address of less than 1 mile. 0.8 miles could not deliver. Service with this place is not advised.

This place was euphoric. While prices may be steep, for a special occasion or culinary treat its definitely worth it.
