Cantonese Restaurants near Boston, MA

“Hidden gem on Brighton Ave!

Eating at Gigantic Wonton honestly felt like being at a family member’s house. The woman working there and the gentleman butchering the meat reminded me of my aunt and uncle. Just a warm, welcoming, no-frills atmosphere with some seriously good food.

The wonton soup was excellent—rich, flavorful broth and very generous portions. We also ordered the BBQ trio, which really hit the spot. The roast pork and duck were especially delicious.

But the real star of the show? The pork soup dumplings! Man, these things were absolutely packed with flavor! So juicy, soupy, and delicious. In my opinion, they're better than anything I've had in Chinatown. Seriously! And for such a reasonable price, too.

The pork soup dumplings are the sleeper item on the menu. Don't overlook them!

If you're looking for authentic, comforting Chinese food, generous portions, and great value, give this place a shot. It genuinely feels like someone’s aunt and uncle are cooking you a homemade meal. I'll definitely be back!“

“I just love me some dim sum!!!

Wow. Dynasty is such a trendy restaurant! My family and I went here because we were craving some Chinese, and we found it on tiktac for having a crab Rangoon scallion pancake. When we initially went we were immediately seated, and the space wasn’t huge (that’s how you know it’s good). We ordered the lotus leaf sticky rice, minions bun, the crab Rangoon scallion pancake, and the bread in the rice noodles. A fun little story for you all is that we went and ordered everything and it was the funniest thing, we were looking up and down for the scallion pancake crab Rangoon and we could find it! We then realized it was a SECRET MENU ITEM! We felt so scandalous for ordering off the secret menu 🤫. As for how the food tasted, everything was good. The star of the show had to be the scallion pancake crab Rangoon though, it was crunchy and crabby and creamy. Everything good. It overall wasn’t extremely expensive but then again nothing in this country is cheap. Make sure you stop by dynasty for some yummy food!“

“We only had to wait 20 min (during the supper hour!) for our food and we waited at a table inside, it was very small but cozy and we liked the closeness of the tables and the relaxed vibe :). As soon as we walked in a lady came and handed us a menu, and a minute later she came back to take our order so service was super quick. We ordered the steamed pork dumplings appetizer and the price was very good and they tasted amazing! It was just the thing for a bite to go on a chilly evening. Will definitely remember this place :)“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“Bakery is consistently pretty good, cash only. Shrimp dumplings and siu mai are pretty decent and large, both are $7/order. Prices aren’t bad for noodle soup and fried rice/noodle dishes.

One of the better places for dim sum and the restaurant side accepts credit card. Space is small but for weekday lunch the staff is quick and attentive.“

“Ordered the 2 meat combo. Decent meal overall. Meats were tender. Rice was prepared well. More expensive than what I’ve paid for something similar in other large cities, but when considering the protein portion sizes and meat quality, still a fair deal“

“Food, soooooo delicious Serves good when it was downpouring they where offering us an umbrella Atmosphere it was fancy and fantastic“

“Dim Sum here is good overall! I came here after a 5k run at around 11:00am - no wait; got seats right away. There are dishes I like better than others there. The place is clean and well-maintained. This is random but I like the paintings on their bathrooms. XD“

“First time I tried the claypot rice. Surprisingly good and big portion. We couldn’t finish the whole bowl. They have many choices from pork, beef or even quail. At the bottom of the pot will have sticky/ burnt rice. It tastes so good and crispy. Pricing is very affordable. The space is very small and kinda open with the kitchen next to it. So prepare that you will smell “food and very delicious” after walking out. The server is nice and attentive. Worth trying!“

“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“

“Great service and great food. They are very welcoming and patient on the phone. The food is always fresh and plentiful. I like the portions among other things. For dinner nights I usually go with the combination plates. This will give options to try many of there different foods. The service is quick but not rushed. Everyone that works there seems genuine and happy to help.“

“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.“

“The chicken with broccoli (which also had other vegetables like snow peas was very good. The other dinner we enjoyed was braised tofu with vegetables which I found exceptionally good and well prepared. There was more than enough portions for meals the next day.
We would definitely return.“

“The food here is very delicious! Service is great and they’re super busy, even on a Thursday afternoon.

The congee is so silky and smooth. It was delicious! The steam roll was fabulous that we ordered an extra one to go. Scallion pancake was nice and crispy. The barley lemongrass lemonade was interesting. I wasn’t expecting actual barley to be in there but it was. I only drank the liquid as I’m not a fan of mushy textures. Not sure what I was expecting but had I known it would be chunks of barley I probably would’ve opted for another beverage. The tongue bread is a shape of a tongue, hence the name. It was a dense bread with minimal flavor.

Casual ambiance with modern decor. Seating available for dining in and great food. I would definitely recommend this establishment and return when I’m in the area. Street parking only.“

“Great service and food. I love their house special fried rice. The prices are incredibly reasonable, and the portion for their large size is definitely large! It’s worth the price, and the dishes are delicious. I would recommend dropping in since delivery is a bit expensive.“

“Absolutely incredible! The Fragrant Spicy Beef Offal was easily the highlight of the meal. The offal was unbelievably tender, rich, and fatty in the best way — almost melting in your mouth. Every bite was packed with deep, savory flavor and a fragrant spicy kick that made it impossible to stop eating.

I’ve honestly never had beef offal prepared like this before, and it completely surprised me. An absolute must-try if you’re here. I would come back just for this dish!“

“This place has fantastic congee and rice rolls. There is a wide variety of conge flavors that are super tasty and satisfying. From beef and egg to pork and liver, there’s tons of great options for you to choose from. And you get lots of incredible rice rolls and Chinese donuts as a side. The rice rolls come in huge portions and are a great pairing with your congee.
Overall, this is a great place to eat. It has a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere so I highly recommend it! The staff here are super friendly and do a great job being kind and helpful. Enjoy!“

“Egg Foo Yong. Is A1 I don’t know what’s on the sauce or that gravy but it’s so good. You could just eat it By herself, the Food is so fresh and good. And the people that are so respectful and nice. I’ve been coming there for maybe a year now and I don’t and won’t be Greate From Coming To This Place.“

“Authentic, delicious, old school southern Chinese pastries. The best Chinese bakery we have found in Quincy.

I rarely write reviews because I am lazy but am posting this to make sure our favorite places stays open. RIP MiamMiam.“

“Love this place! The Dim Sum is phenomenal, easy to find parking on the weekend and holidays. The service could use some work, but not a big deal. The price is reasonable for a whole family. Never had the seafood here, but the Dim Sum is great!“

“They need something to minimize the loudness. it’s a common problem with restaurants these days when they use laminated floors and nothing on the walls to absorb the sound. Hard to hear conversation.

Additionally, avoid the hour between 3 and 4 pm. Dimsum finishes at 3 and dinner officially starts at 4. When we finished eating at 3:30, we could not get anything sweet after meals. Sesame seed balls were only served until 3 because that’s part of dim sum. We could not get those sweetened bean soup because they were served after 4 pm.

Otherwise, the food is excellent.“

“in a mall. Ample parking in parking lot.

The carts come around and you begin your feast. My favorites are chicken feet, spare ribs in black bean sauce, salt and pepper lobster and stir fried Chinese broccoli (not pictured). The bbq pork buns and pineapple custard buns were fantastic as well.

Chicken feet were tender and flavorful. Pork spareribs had great flavor but wasn’t as tender as I would’ve liked. The salt & pepper lobster was crispy on the outside and meat was delicious. I could’ve sat there all day eating it.

The bbq pork buns had a little sticky glaze on top and the bun was so soft. The bbq pork filling had sweetness to it. The pineapple custard bun was a great dessert item to finish off a wonderful meal here. It was soft, topping was crumbly and the custard filling just oozing like an egg yolk. The bun was soft, sweet and delicious!

Service was great. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Highly recommend and I will definitely return when I’m in the area again.“

“This is the BEST Chinese food I have ever had. I am so sad that I live in Illinois and can’t have it more often. I give everything 1000/1000!!“
