“Authenticity is the name of the game. Having brought two of my friends here for an afternoon lunch, they were stunned by how good the clay pot rice was! For them, it was a new dish. For me, it was nostalgia. The aromas from the pot were addicting, the crispy rice at the bottom and edges were great, and the rice itself was seasoned very well. Although they ordered small sizes, I’d recommend getting a medium if you’re a big eater (but they say it’s for two servings).
Service is as expected: straightforward and quick, yet still slow enough to ask for dietary restrictions or specific changes to a given dish (e.g. I asked for no cilantro). If you know Cantonese, Mandarin, Taishanese, or one of a couple other dialects, it’ll help you for sure. Otherwise, don’t worry too much about it if you feel pressured to order fast.
The lunch atmosphere was very hustle and bustle; I can only imagine what it’d be like by dinner time. Besides that, seating is limited and the room is quite tight so you might be asked to share a table if you have an odd number of people.
Lastly, is the food-to-dollar ratio worth it? Kinda. If you’re not a big eater and don’t eat this often, then yes. If you are and do, then no. But if you want a taste of home *and* to share that experience with your friends, this is a prime place to visit.“

“A Chinatown staple and my current favorite restaurant and bakery close to the Chinatown gate. Their bakery churns out the most creative and delicious baked goods in Chinatown like variations of the pineapple bun with coconut or cha siu and so many mooncakes. Credit card limit is low ($10?) and easy to hit. The dim sum is fresh and top notch. The aunties behind the counter are so kind and attentive.“

“We are in Boston for a couple of days from England and decided to explore Chinatown. A lovely gentleman recommended Dynasty to us as being one of the best. We arrived at about 11am this morning and had a lovely meal with tea. So pleased we came as it was the highlight of the day for us. Hopefully you get lots of tourists . Thank you“

“food is pretty good, not outstanding but it’s SO worth it for the price. dim sum in boston can be expensive, but at hei la moon it’s not !! the restaurant also gives a classic chinese banquet hall vibe, with the satin tablecloths and chairs. definitely a great spot to fix your dim sum cravings!!“

“Salty Lemon Honey Drink (咸柠蜜): Tried it for the first time—super refreshing and thirst-quenching! Perfect for summer.
Beef Brisket Wonton Noodles (牛腩云吞面): The beef brisket was incredibly tender and flavorful. The noodles were smooth and springy, and the broth was rich and savory. The wonton skins were slightly overcooked, but overall, it was excellent.
Beef Chow Chow Mein (牛肉炒车仔面): The biggest surprise of the meal! Full of wok hei (aroma of the wok), packed with veggies, and before I knew it, I’d eaten a ton of veggies. A perfect balance of healthy and delicious.
Rice Noodle Roll (肠粉): Absolutely lives up to the hype! I’ve had many rice noodle rolls before, but this was the first time I truly understood how amazing they can be—thin, silky, and delicious.
Clay Pot Rice (煲仔饭): Also outstanding! The rice was fragrant and slightly crispy at the bottom, and the toppings were generous. It was so good I forgot to take a picture!“

“This hole in the wall is not pretty Inside,but they do have Cantonese/Hong Kong Style food. They are Cash only. We got the curry sauce pork on spaghetti and Beef stew & wonton soup. The service was decent. Don't have have expectations for service at any Asian places. Our food came fast, but getting our bill took time. They got pretty busy. The wontons tasted homemade and the broth was very rich in flavor. The curry sauce was thick and tasty. The pork was perfectly cooked. Overall, a good experience“

“saw this restaurant and it's james beard nominee chef on phantom gourmet, so when i drove up from the Cape to see my Uncle we decided to check it out… i grew up in the neighborhood so was neat to see the old hood! this place used to be a bakery, and has been transformed into a hip counter service option for breakfast/lunch, etc....sparkling clean, friendly counterperson, was my first impression...there is a nice window facing counter with stools to sit at and enjoy your selections...we both ordered the fish congee and i got the rice noodles with hoisin sauce and my uncle ordered the rice noodles with curry fish balls, and we ordered green tea...all the dishes were so yummy! i'm talking deliciousness every bite. i worked in chinatown for 17 years so im familiar with most of the dishes, its a good varied menu of the staples and the unexpected ...the congee was an appetizing and creative presentation with nuts and different colorful toppings for added flavor and esthetics ...had such a delicate fish flavor....we plan to return soon...want to try the french toast and also the rice with salt and pepper chicken...the bao selections look tempting as well! busy area but we found hancock street parking and saw spots on Billings Rd as well...highly recommend.“

“Went here for the first time today. My friend & I arrived in time to enjoy the lunch specials. The food came out hot and was very tasty. I’m very picky with my Chinese food and this place is very good. We will definitely be returning. Our waitress was very friendly & attentive. The servings are very generous. I was able to bring home enough food to have another meal“

“Very authentic traditional Cantonese Chinese cuisine. Food is delicious and this place is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. I'm not talking about spring rolls or crab rangoons, but real Chinese food.
They also have Chinese BBQ inside, like crackling pork, roast pork, roast duck, soy sauce chicken. You can also order these for takeout.
Service is usually good but can get busy if restaurant is full sometimes. Atmosphere is good, but can get crowded if restaurant is full. Great for lunch when it's less busy, and great place for a family dinner.
Price is fair. $10-20 for individual, and of course family style would be more.
Free street parking around the area.“

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our Hot Pot Buffet. Great value for high quality ingredients that were very fresh. We tried several choices not typically found at other restaurants. Our fantastic wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and highly efficient. We recommend Fairy Cafe and will definitely be back.“

“I recently dined at this restaurant and found the portion sizes to be more than generous, easily enough to satisfy a hungry appetite. I particularly enjoyed the chicken lo mein. The general gau chicken, however, was a bit too oily for my liking, and the egg rolls were rather bland in taste. I'm not entirely familiar with Chinese cuisine, so I'm unsure if that's how they are typically prepared, but it didn't quite suit my palate. On the positive side, the price point is quite affordable, and the restaurant offers decent seating for those looking to dine in. Overall, it's a good option if you're looking for a hearty meal at a reasonable price.
Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian options“

“While searching for a good Chinese restaurant nearby, we came across Westwood Jade in Westwood, MA, and it did not disappoint! The food, prices, and service were all excellent. The pork fried rice was perfectly cooked, soft with no hard grains; chicken wings were tender and flavorful; ribs were just right—not chewy or hard; and the chicken lo mein was saucy, loaded with chicken, and not overly sweet. The crab rangoons were crispy, warm, and had the perfect filling.
They even included all the essentials—plates, utensils, napkins, sauces, fortune cookies, and hot sauce. Everything was spot on. 10/10 experience — thank you, and God bless!“
“Came here with my family and honestly everything was great. We got the eel clay pot rice, salty & spicy squid, and a couple other Cantonese dishes — all came out quick, hot, and packed with flavor.
Service was friendly and the food tasted fresh. Not sure what some of the bad reviews are talking about, but our experience was awesome. Definitely coming back — this spot deserves more love“

“It’s been awhile since we last visited. Dim sum tasted as good as we remembered.
Everything was steamy hot.
Our favorites are the crispy pork chashu buns. This time we have to order them. They were in the push carts.
Shrimp dumplings (ha gow), pork and shrimp sui mai were really good!
Steamed Bean curds pork rolls came with three in the steamer was delicious too!
Chicken feet with black beans and garlic, fried taro dumplings, steamed pork ribs, lotus leaves wrap with sticky rice, fried sesame balls with red bean paste inside, tofu pudding….They were all very good!
Except the jelly fish and radish… they tasted from a package. A little mala taste (numbing) seasoning. We didn’t enjoy that!
Service was excellent! The waitstaff are always so fast and friendly!
Clean restroom and restaurant seems pretty spacious!
Get there at 10 am when they open then you won’t have to wait.
By 10:30 am it was a full house on a Sat am! Would definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“We came for the 10am Saturday dim sum. Got seated right away, but by the time we finished around 11am the place was packed. Everything was delicious and matched our expectation of a no frills dim sum experience. In addition to the typical dim sum dishes they also had some fancy options like the red rice shrimp rolls which was delicious and taste like rice roll, fried shrimp and youtiao in one perfect bite.“

“Craving dim sum that hits all the traditional notes without breaking the bank? This is your spot. From perfectly steamed dumplings to crispy spring rolls, every bite brings classic flavors done right. The portions are generous, the quality is solid, and the prices are hard to beat. A go-to for a comforting, authentic dim sum fix.“

“What a cool Asian restaurant, service is top notch and the food is stellar, the crab rangoons are next level, my personal new favorite rice is the Kimchi beef rice at this place! Can't wait to go back and try a few other things, also when you have leftover to go items they put it in a real nice tote bag with napkins and plastic ware. Just a really cool place... try it!!!“

“Classic Chinatown spot for roast meats. The roast duck and crispy pork over rice were flavorful and came in generous portions. The setup is straightforward—order at the counter where you can see all the meats hanging, then enjoy hearty comfort food that hits the spot. Service is quick and efficient, exactly what you’d expect from a no-frills eatery. The pork is good but duck is a bit greasy.“
