Cantonese Restaurants near Boston, MA

“I used to visit places like this every week in NYC as a child. Most of those NY places have sold out and they offer very expensive food that isnt nearly as good as it used to be. Dynasty is like how it used to be. Excellent Cantonese cuisine with a few obscure dishes that I havent been able to find in other Cantonese restaurants. Highly recommend.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“Hong Kong Eatery is a Boston legend for a reason! I’ve been coming here for the most authentic Cantonese BBQ in the city. Their Crispy Roast Pork has the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat with a skin that actually stays crunchy. I also love that they offer $6 side dishes—the spicy beef tripe is a must-try. It’s been around for 30 years and still hits the spot every single time. Fast service, nostalgic vibes, and incredible food.“

“We had a great experience at Clay Pot Cafe ! Everything we ordered really hit the spot.
The curry fish balls were flavorful and had just the right amount of spice definitely a must order. The chicken sausage clay pot was delicious, with perfectly cooked rice and rich, savory flavors that really brought the dish together.
The fish congee was a huge hit with the kids they absolutely loved it! It was comforting, fresh, and full of flavor.
Overall, a fantastic meal for the whole family. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We only went to the bakery side to get some pastries for takeaway for the kids to sample. I loved the selection of moon cakes on offer, but the star of the show were the egg tarts, which were by far the most delicate and buttery ones I've ever tasted. I found the staff to be quite pleasant and very patient with the kids as they made their decisions. It is cash only.“

“I came here for dim sum on a Saturday morning and had a great experience. There’s a parking lot right next to the restaurant, which is really convenient if you’re driving. The service was friendly, and they offer a solid selection with most of the popular dim sum dishes available. Portions are slightly larger than at other dim sum spots, which is a plus, though the prices are a bit higher to match. Overall, it’s a great place to gather with friends and family for a weekend dim sum meal.“

“This restaurant is amazing. Exceptional service, food, and atmosphere. Great architecture and historic design.“

“This restaurant offers authentic Chinese cuisine and is a great choice for those looking to experience traditional Chinese home-style dishes. The prices are very reasonable. However, the restaurant is relatively simple in terms of ambiance, and parking is only available on the roadside, so plan accordingly. Overall, it’s ideal for those who prioritize taste!“

“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.“

“Other than in Boston's Chinatown area, Cathay Pacific has the best Chinese food outside of Boston's Chinatown. Prices are a little higher than Chinatown but worth it, once in a while if you can't get to Chinatown. The food presentation and service is excellent!“

“Just saw some white guy go and call the police because the tables were all reserved but the servers aren’t fluent in English. Thought it was bs until the restaurant was completely full only twenty minutes later. Same white guy also said that he owned four hotels and that he was entitled to a table. Hate racist and people who would rather waste our town resources and make people suffer because of a power trip. Good people who work hard to run a restaurant. Not amazing, but definitely not bad.

Next time get reservations.“

“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.“

“One of the best Chinese takeout place in town. Fast and attentive service. Very good value. My favorites are the chicken wings and Singapore rice noodle. Other dishes are worth a try too. Highly recommended if you don't want to cook and don't want to break the bank.“

“Really enjoyed this place! It’s conveniently located near BU and the restaurant is clean with quick service.
I ordered the braised beef rice roll and soy milk, and both were great. The beef was very tender and flavorful, pairing really well with the smooth and delicate rice roll. The sauce was well-balanced and not overly salty. The soy milk was rich and had that authentic taste, just like what you’d find in China.
Portions are solid and the price is reasonable for the area. Staff were friendly and the overall experience was great. Definitely worth trying if you're craving authentic Cantonese-style comfort food!“

“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.“

“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“

“Ming’s Seafood Restaurant in Malden, MA is one of my favorite Dim Sum restaurants north of Boston!

The food here is always fresh, authentic, flavorful, and served hot with an incredible variety of traditional dim sum dishes, seafood specialties including Live King Crab, dumplings, buns, and Cantonese favorites.
The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the service is consistently excellent. If you’re searching for the best Dim Sum in Malden, authentic Chinese food near Boston, or a top-rated seafood restaurant in Massachusetts, Ming’s Seafood Restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“This is the only place we go to for dim sum every Sunday. The restaurant had renovations done so it's nicer now (no more pink walls). If you like stir fry clams, order it from the kitchen instead off the dim sum menu. There's a small parking lot in the back or you can park a block down in the main public parking lot.“

“These days it’s not worth driving to Chinatown for dim sum, as the parking is terrible. As such, Joyful Garden is a great place for dim sum due to plenty of parking and tables. It was just me and a guest, and though we were seated a table near the back, the servers came by often so we never felt we were being ignored. The dim sum is as a good as most places I’ve been to. We had a handful of dishes, which included the egg tarts. They were delicious! Smaller than over years ago but that’s to be expected.“

“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!!“

“Eaten here a few times.
Always surprised when trying a new menu item. The sauteed chicken and vegetables with XO sauce......very unique. I kept the sauce on the side.
The XO sauce is a small plate of shredded cooked scallops. When added to the dish, it explodes in a very unique flavor combination. Strongly recommend.“
