Really good. I am a first generation Chinese American with parents from Beijing and Shanghai and know this food genre. I am really picky about Chinese restaurants and found the food to be authentic and really good. In particular, this is the first restaurant to serve Moo Shi in what I remember to be authentic -- its an egg dish with some meat and reconstituted lily buds and cloud ears plus a bit of bok choy for color. I would have liked the pancakes that came with it to be homemade, but thats too much to expect. Ive been at this restaurant twice with my brother and others and everyone enjoyed it. The lobster with ginger and scallions was terrific. For those that like spice, this is probably not the restaurant for you. The Kung Pao chicken was a little bit more like the Americanized General Gaos Chicken, but tasty enough. Both times I was there, more than half the customers were Chinese. Enough said.

I lived close to this place and have gone there with friends and usually family quite often. Some of the dishes are very good such as the green beans with olive, the stuffed eggplant, and the beef with Chinese broccoli . Some are not. The Ma Po Tofu tastes as if it has ketchup in it. The food in general is better than any other Chinese restaurant in Lexington, (which isnt saying a lot) but they have from the beginning really needed help with training both wait people AND the guy behind the front desk who looks like an owner or manager.I have had rude treatment from him twice. So, I dont go there anymore. But I will say, the last time I went there I had a really nice waiter. Funny place.

I knew about Beijing for quite some time now; however, I didnt decide to give it a try until tonight. My family and I were imidiately greeted and seated by Po, the owner of the restaurant. The atmosphere was delightful. The restuarants arcutecture itself was very pleasing to the eye. Food was amazing... The dishes were very flavorful, authentic, and reasonably priced. My favorites were the Yu Shiang Eggplant Chicken, and the Chicken Lo Mein. Portions were also quite generous. Overall, great experience. My family and I will definitely be returning to Beijing soon.

My wife and I were invited to see two friends who loved this place. I first did not think too much about it but the food I had that night were amazing, I really love most of the dishes we tried that night, majority of pictures are already available on Yelp so i would recommend you guys take a look and give it a shot if you love Chinese food :) Honestly this is one of the best restaurants I have tried around the New England area :)

We came here for dinner the night. Located at Lexington Center, this place is one of the few classier Chinese restaurants out in the suburbs. Weve had the Beijing Crispy Whole Fish and the Cumin Flavored Stir-Fried Beef and can recommend these 2 dishes. Theyre not common dishes among Chinese restaurants.

I believe the food to be authentic as 95% of the patrons were of Asian descent and English was not being spoken by the patrons. I did not give them a 5 star rating as my food never arrived. They brought my sons but not mine. The waiter never came back until it was time to pay.

Solid but not stand out. The menu selection is an bit sparse and compromises towards the local demographic. Can not compare to a china town restaurant in the taste department. The decor and cleanliness I would however rate a 5/5.

Real Beijing food! The flavor is incredible and the service makes you feel at home. This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the suburbs. The owner came to greet us and made sure the food was good. I highly recommend it!

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The food is high-quality - you wont find typical fast food Chinese here. The pork in the fried rice is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend their Cumin Beef dish.

Four of us had dinner there last Sunday. The food was OK. But the waiter was rude when I was about to pay the bill. He explicitly requested the amount of tips, which was quite a shock to me.

Food was really tasty and the portions were quite large and price was inexpensive. Ot has a nice outdoor sitting and nice indoor decoration. Great place for an affordable date night

Absolutely fresh and tasty Chinese cuisine! Loved the Peking duck special, minced chicken and corn soup, Neptune fried rice and elegant decor. Will be back for dim sum!

The food was okay. We got takeout. Our chicken was uncooked in some pieces. The lo mein was pretty greasy and didnt have a lot of vegetables. Overpriced for the quality.

Way above typical fare in terms of food quality and prep. Lots of choices for greens. No unnecessary oils. Atmosphere bright and modern. Will come back for sure

A lot people comment the food was great, but actually the food was not fresh at all when we dine there. Disappointed.
