Cantonese Restaurants near Boston, MA

“This is a cozy spot with only a few tables - feels like a hole in the wall and the food was good! Well seasoned, portion is a bit small but fine. Brought my family to dine here for our final meal in Boston and everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The clay pot rice would take some time to cook (which is normal) but the other dishes were served pretty fast. Restaurant wasn’t loud, we enjoyed some OG Cantonese songs in the background, and overall the service was 10/10.“

“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.“

“Cool old theatre converted to a restaurant. Food was middle of the road. My main complaint is you dont know what things are when you buy them. If they could add a simple description of what youre buying it would make the place much better. Ended up tossing half the stuff we ordered because we didnt know what we were buying. Oh well.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“Start the day with our homecook breakfast, this place serve you a very good taste congee, dimsum, and many chinese food to kick start your day.

Price very reasonable comparing in Boston, and open too early for you to jump the day off.

Staff are freindly in Chinese way, which i got very comfort too, and surely come back when i have a chance to visit Boston again.“

“Hidden gem indeed. Very authentic Chinese (I am not but it definitely was NOT Americanized and tasted great )….
Dim sums are hot and steaming. Entree Portions are BiG ! Food is not spicy but one can add it easily. Prices are very reasonable. Very unimposing facade but good location. Parking may be an issue.“

“We took a large group of students from all over Massachusetts during a field trip to experience authentic Chinese food in Chinatown. The staff was really helpful and the food delicious. Our group loved every minute of it! Thank you so much Hei La Moon for your warm welcome, wonderful service, and fantastic meal!“

“Their food is BOMB, i just love the food here. I'm excited that they're open till late and at the same time I wish they'd open earlier. They only pick up the phone after 8pm sometimes even later.They are accommodating if you speak to them politely.The food is on the pricier end compared to other places so just don't be surprised“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“You cannot go wrong in this restaurant. It's the traditional American Chinese food, which I prefer. In addition, the portions are so significant that you end up very satisfied to take some home. I would say the same with the take-out orders. I hope they keep giving the portions customers like and do not change the taste of the food.“

“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“

“Everyone seems like this one in Malden than Quincy store...I love their dim sum and dinner, every dishes are just delightful and so comfortable to eat in, service is friendly and we never wait too long to have our yummy dishes, it's a good place to try authentic Hong Kong style food, highly recommended“

“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!“

“Upon search for a Chinese restaurant in the area. We found Westwood Jade in Westwood, Ma. We ordered, it was good food, price and service. Everything was very good. The Pork fried rice how I like it with eggs well cooked with (no hard grains), chicken wings were nice and soft not extra crispy, ribs were not chewy and not hard just perfect, chicken lo main was nice and saucy and not sweet which I loved, not dry, loaded with chicken, cabbage was nice and crisp and onions just the right amount very tasty, and crab Rangoon were crispy, warm and the filling was perfect. They gave us plates, forks, spoons, napkins, sauces, fortune cookies and hot sauce. 10/10 Thank you we enjoyed your service! God Bless.“

“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!!!“

“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.“
