“Wanted to try their lunch specials. The portions were very large and reasonably priced. You get only white rice and soup with your Entree. Portions are big enough to share. Big choice of classic Chinese food. You would need to order appetizers extra if you want it. Fried rice is on the dinner menu, but lunch is only white rice. Dinner portions are large enough to share. Next time we will order one dinner entree, one order fried rice or lo-mein, and one appetizer about the same price as 2 lunches.“

“Highly recommend for hand pulled noodles(the name is a pretty hard giveaway). The bouncy texture and flavorful soup options are what you’ll want on a cold rain day or after a good workout. I would order the vegetable dumplings and vegetable mala pot or just pot, if spicy food is not for you (for any vegetarians and everyone) to try.“

“IFresh Noodle is a Chinese restaurant well known for their hand pulled noodles and other Chinese dishes. The place was closed for a long time due to a fire, but reopened this year with a new, more modern design.
We got takeout, but the service was fast and the food was prepped quickly. We tried the hand pulled lamb cumin noodles, the skewers, and popcorn chicken with the thai basil seasoning. The popcorn chicken was just alright, fried well but did get a bit soggy, the seasoning wasn't too strong but did have the signature taste of thai basil. The skewer was average, not a lot of seasoning on it as well, but did taste good.
The hand pulled noodles is where it stood out. The flavor on the noodles were good, and the hand pulled noodles were stringy and not overly firm. The spice wasn't too spicy, and everything paired well together.“

“I often Travel to China and very picky with Chinese food. Hippo kitchen is the best Chinese restaurant I tried in MA. Authentic. My fav dish is “husband and wife lung slices. 夫妻肺片 (fūqī fèi piàn), often translated as “Husband and Wife Sliced Meat” — a famous Sichuan cold appetizer. Despite the literal translation meaning “husband and wife lung slices,” it typically doesn’t include lung. Here’s a quick overview:
What It Is:
A spicy, numbing, and flavorful cold dish made with thinly sliced beef, often including:
• Beef tongue, tripe, and sometimes heart
• Tossed in a bold Sichuan-style chili oil sauce with garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed peanuts, cilantro, and Sichuan peppercorns“

“We order the fresh hand-pulled noodles all the time here – it’s probably our favorite takeout in the neighborhood. Always absolutely delicious – I particularly like the ones with fermented spicy chili paste. They have cleaned up the restaurant a bit since the dark days of Covid, so it’s actually pleasant to eat in. But there’s nothing like leftover noodles in the fridge for a delicious snack…“

“Asia Wok is a local favorite and has been for decades. Before that the current owner worked for Tom, in his beautiful restaurant on Brighton Avenue. It has the old style Cantonese American food that I grew up with and still love. Food is delicious and the restaurant has the best value for the money of any eatery in Allston. The owner does his own delivery and the chefs are the real deal. If you miss that kind of delicious Chinese food this is definitely the place to order from.“

“I really enjoyed the food here. Everything we ordered was full of flavor and felt thoughtfully prepared. The balance in the dishes was just right, and you can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The service was also great. Everyone on the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome.
We did get asked to switch tables shortly after sitting down, which could have been a little frustrating, but they handled it so well. They offered a warm and sincere apology, and the way they approached it actually made us feel good about moving. It felt like they really cared about our experience.
The only downside was that the food took a while to come out. It wasn’t a major issue, but it’s worth noting if you’re on a tight schedule. Thankfully, the quality of the food made the wait feel worth it.
All in all, this place left a great impression on me. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to friends.“

“The hand pulled noodles are amazing! Very authentic and fresh.
I recommend the N3. Spicy Hot Oil Seared Noodles. This was one of the best hand pulled noodles I've had. 11/10.
The Kung Pao Chicken came with either white rice or fried rice and a soup (we chose egg drop soup). There were more veggies than shrimp, and although the shrimp was good the veggies were a bit hard.
Regardless, definitely a great authentic restaurant for hand pulled noodles.“

“This definitely my new favorite Chinese take out. The only dish I go for is the General's Chicken with fried rice. I love how the sauce for the chicken is so sweet and with a smidge of a kick. The meal does come with 2 sides. Didn't know it at the time, but Coke counts as a side. The 2nd being crab rangoons. Can't recall how it tastes because the General Chicken comes out piping out and I sometimes forget and burn my tongue. All in all, I have been here several times for the same items every time.“

“I had ordered the Mango Pomelo Sago Nectar (with boba) and Red-Braised Pork Belly. The drink was good not-too sweet and went down pretty easily. The pork belly was cooked perfectly. The fat was soft and melted in my mouth! The founder also sells inkwork based on places she had visited and I saw one that was Star Wars themed.
I visited the shop at around 3 pm so it wasn't super busy, the staff are friendly, and the vibes were great! The interior is colorful and there were plenty of comfy seats.“

“Chicken lo mein is mid, but the scallion pancakes are fresh and crispy, and Rick serves a stiff SB, but
I love this place for more than its good and reasonably priced fare. There’s a certain curb appeal that comes from having no windows that more modern establishments are still struggling to grasp. Rick is the most gracious host/server/bartender, and I welcome any additional business in his direction even if it’s just to hear his genuine, “You’re welcome,” each and every time you politely thank him for something. It’s fun to go for some drinks with a few friends when it’s dead, and fun to go to celebrate your birthday when it’s popping. Give it a whirl!“

“Food is great when received fresh, they’re done quickly so better to just pick it up in my opinion.
I love the crab rangoons, the general tsao’s chicken, the veggie lo mein.
The establishment itself is outdated but it adds charm to the place, I love it.
Boneless spareribs are great, 😊 highly recommend this place for Chinese“

“Updating my review:
Came back to my favorite Chinese restaurant. We ordered our usuals: West Lake beef soup, bok choy, and Yang Chow fried rice. But this time, we tried the sizzling steak with black pepper sauce. The steak was super tender, but the sauce was bland. We also ordered the double-cooked pork. This was good but not what I expected. It wasn't made of pork belly and scallions. The sauce was bland and it was not spicy and mostly cabbage. The prices had gone up, and the portions seemed smaller, although the service remains good.
Joyful Garden Chinese restaurant is indeed joyful! We were seated quickly with a pot of tea. Service was friendly, and food came out rather promptly. We started with West Lake beef soup and it was amazing! Light and delicious, I must say it’s my favorite soup.
Then, we shared an order of salt and pepper shrimp and calamari, bok choy, and Yang chow fried rice; everything was delicious! But the highlight was the pan-fried flounder; I just couldn’t get enough of it, just quite pricey for $40.95 market price. Plenty of parking and a much better option than going to Boston. I can’t wait to go back!“

“My go-to for local Chinese food. They are lightning quick and always friendly. Keeping it real: this is not the place for a romantic anniversary dinner. However, if what you want is a hot, delicious, filling meal (especially to-go) this is a sure bet.“

“We were skeptical to try this place after reading reviews and chose to anyway. I'm writing a review because I feel like its necessary to combat some of the stuff previously posted.
The atmosphere was fantastic! The was surprising, especially after being underwhelmed by the exterior.
The service was definitely the best part. Our server was attentive without being over bearing and he was so kind and funny!
Our food was standard American Chinese food. Portions were huge! and the flavors were well orchestrated. The turn around time from ordering to receiving our food was quick! It wasn't too busy for a holiday evening and the little bar area was quite lively.
We will certainly be returning!“

“My family have been customers before the pandemic changed so many businesses.
Today was no exception to the quick, tasty, and large portions. I miss the sit-down and socialize, and I respect their commitment to our community.
We watched and shared years of each other's family growing up.
Continue your patronage of a local family restaurant, or become a new customer.
Please share and post to support them.“
