Good: - The Beef Lo Mein was delicious, with very tender beef. - Complimentary hot tea is nice, though something to filter the leaves from being poured into the cups would be nice. Bad: - The Sweet and Sour Pork was just chopped and breaded spare ribs, meaning almost every bite has you pulling some bit of chewed up bone or chunk of gristle out of your mouth. More than half of each bite is inedible. After spending ten minutes digging stuff out of my mouth I gave up on eating the rest. Finger food can be fine as a meal, but having to literally spit or dig something out of your mouth with every bite makes for a terrible dinner experience. - The eggrolls seem like small generic frozen eggrolls, making their steep price feel like a ripoff. None of the appetizers appeared to be anything that would actually be made in the kitchen, just frozen stuff fried and served. - Plasticware, styrofoam cups and smudged looking plates in a restaurant where most entrees are over $10... not good. - The restaurant was basically dead during our visit, which made the inattentive service doubly annoying. No checking to see how our food was, No offer to refill a soda. Leaving a pitcher of water at the table rather than just checking on us once in a while. Disappearing at the end of the meal, forcing us to call him from across the restaurant for the check. Total apathy. As someone who only has the budget to eat at a "real" restaurant once or twice a month, this was tremendously disappointing. I probably could have overlooked most of my issues if the pork hadnt been so terrible, but the server never bothered to check on us so it all just added up to a really bad experience. I dont think Id want to go back.

Me and my girlfriend just spotted this place and decided to come in. Im not local to boston, and im not asian, so maybe im not used to this setup. Place didnt feel extremely clean or inviting. Furniture was pretty beat up and dated. Staff was friendly despite the language barrier. The food on the other hand seemed fresh. We didnt have much. Maybe 4 small plates or so and the bill ran up to like $60 if i recall correctly. Based on our dining experience i would not come back here. This might be an okay buffet style setup for a busy night with large asian families.

1st off someone left a review saying no checking to see if the food was good or refill for there soda um listen its a Asian resturant they do that there go to chilis for that seriously haha free refills thats funny clearly you dont frequent Asian restaurants like this much. Ok now i got that out of the way I definitely recommend this please been going here for years and also visiting there other locations good food good ppl . Dim sum is one of the best Ive had here in boston.

The place was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon. For a place that was more than half empty, it sure took a long time for them to get my take out ready. I waited 25 minutes for 3 medium sized dim sum plates. Their shrimp dumpling were huge, but it was pretty plain. The shrimp dumpling and shrimp rolls were mediocre compared to other dim sum places. They have a parking lot, so no need to worry about paying for parking.

The restaurant is very empty during the week days. On the weekend, the restaurant is busy with all wedding and party function. Service is ok because they all able to speak English and get what you need. As for food quality, you get what you pay for pretty much, but I would highly recommend to get somewhere else. The foods taste similar to other Chinese restaurant around town, but freshness is questionable.

Ive ordered take out her a few times, ranging from appetizers, soup to main dishes. I cant say Im particularly impressed, especially with the cost. I thought their wonton soup is delicious, however every noodle dish Ive ordered has been subpar. Thankfully I dont order too often.

Excellent Dim Sum and the prices are incredible. Classic cart service, if youre expecting a waiter to come to you without being flagged down youre at the wrong sort of restaurant. Also, dont expect the cart ladies to speak much English.

Black bean lobster is a must have. Its my treat almost ever week. Shh. The other food is good too like the egg foo yong. Again the black bean lobster is a must have. Make it a double the price is better.

Theyll kick you out at exactly 11 p.m. While youre still eating.. Their spicy pork chop is nothing but bone. Its not a five star it is what it is. Just go there early eat/either you like it out you dont.

Ordered take out once and the chicken was a little raw. We came half an hour before they closed and the chef came out when we took out order. He just didnt seem too happy.

Food is good. Great place. But the service is not that great. I have to wait more than 15 to signal a waiter. Plus most of the staff dont speak English at all.

Food is always delicious. Can be busy on the weekend however on the week days its normally quiet. There are more selection during the weekend.

If you dont feel like heading in to Chinatown, this is a great alternative when you are craving dim sum.
