27 Best Chinese Restaurants in Boston

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“Visiting in the Boston area, I was looking for a Chinese restaurant within walking distance for take out back to my hotel and I found the perfect place at Peach farm. I Ordered the beef and broccoli , pork mei fun and pork fried rice. The beef and broccoli was delicious with fresh broccoli and this was some of the best fried rice I’ve ever had. Very generous portions also, I would definitely eat here again on my next trip to Boston.“

“Had a last-minute birthday dinner here for 10. They were really busy but squeezed us in when they heard it was my birthday. The food was beautiful - I had tried the brilliant NYC outlet before and this did not disappoint. Fresh and varied flavours, great price, fast as lightning. The incredibly friendly staff sang me happy birthday, and even gave me a small gift! What more could I ask for?“

“Delicious dimsum! Friendly service! 5 minutes wait during lunch time. Only 2 minutes waiting for the food order to come out.
Around $7 for each dimsum order.
Be prepared to sit with other party due to limited seat.
Total: $60 (tip, tax included) for 2 person.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“The first Malaysian restaurant we tried in the states 🇺🇸, and it didn’t disappoint! We ordered roti, satay chicken, Chow Kueh Teow, stir fry watercress and we loved everything. Every dish was very flavourful and authentic. The restaurant was very spacious and the service was fast enough. Will definitely come back and try more dishes next time.“

“Soup dumplings are great but they also have an interesting menu with a great selection of dry noodles, noodle soups and various dumplings. The Chongqing noodles with yellow peas and pork is probably my favorite thing here. Service was fast and friendly. Casual spot for some great food and maybe some new things to try.“

“We have a new office in Boston. So periodically I drive down from our main office to the Boston location and every time I do, I have resolved to try a new restaurant. This was today’s choice and it was SPECTACULAR! My server was fantastic. The food came out quickly and was insanely good. I didn’t know how big my stir-fried rice cake bowl would be so I ordered the sweet and sour pork loin to go with it. But the rice cake bowl was huge and tasted incredible. Lots of heat, lots of fresh prepared veggies and meat. 10/10 would recommend that dish. The pork tenderloin I tried and 10/10 would recommend it as well. The location is a bit small and that is literally the only nit I can pick. If you’re in this area, get some take out or eat in , you won’t regret it!!“

“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.“

“Tried it for the first time today. I really enjoyed the Hot Sour hand pulled noodle soup. I got extra noodles and medium spice. I will definitely be ordering again. The broth was packed with flavor, it all arrived hot and well packed. Give it a try.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“Noodles are great. Wish they had the thicker version like lanfeast does, but otherwise superb flavor. More variety. And pretty good lamb skewers. Wish they had a better line up system. The popcorn chicken is eh. Highly recommended everything else.“

“It is a gem in Boston Chinatown serving the Hong Kong favorites. 香滿園是波士頓唐人街的香港美食必到之處，家庭式，鮮食材，唔好走寶！“

“I had dinner here while I was in town for work. I’m not sure I got the best thing there; it seems to be more family style (like you order dumplings and a veggie side and share) and that was all too much for me to eat. I ended up getting noodle with a friend egg and bok choy and then had to add in spring rolls to meet a minimum to use a card. It was fine and service was friendly. Spring rolls were just like anywhere else and the noodle dish was fine, just not any sort of distinct flavor that would bring me back.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Jumbo Seafood is hands down one of the best late-night dining spots in the area. We came in pretty late, but the staff were still welcoming, attentive, and never rushed us. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and every dish was bursting with flavor. The chili crab lived up to the hype, perfectly cooked with a rich, savory sauce that we couldn’t stop dipping into. The cereal prawns were a fun surprise ,crispy, sweet, and addictive.

What really stood out was the overall experience: efficient service, generous portions, and a lively yet relaxed vibe even late at night. It’s rare to find a place open this late that doesn’t compromise on quality. If you’re craving seafood after hours, Jumbo Seafood is a must. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Tucked away between other small businesses and apartments sits the quaint and humble hole in the wall freshly made pan-fried buns spot my friends raved about. And it certainly lived up the hype. I was enamored by the ladies preparing the buns visible thru the storefront window, and the utter vibes of the fresh construction just down the road and clear skies made for a refreshing meal in the breezy but warm weather outside. The noodles are a generous portion and full of intense spice (if spicy) and flavorful options, especially when accompanied by 4 golf-ball sized handmade friend buns.“

“Hot pot, they have variety side dishes for what u can pick and the desserts are so delicious 🤤. The fatty beef is the must try.
Packing on commonwealth is easily catch a 2hrs parking which is my concern the most. Now the show is on.. enjoy it“

“Fast, friendly service. Great selection. No pressure or rush. Very relaxing. Good flavors.“

“I tried sea food dumplings. It was tasty but too dry for a dumpling I would say. It might be my personal preference that I like juicy dumplings more than dry ones. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick and friendly but in some moments they are little bit control freaks.“

“Food Wise , the pleasant surprise of the week. We chose PFC because of it's proximity to the theater district. When we got there at 5PM it was not super busy. Tables are old and worn and the floor looked like it hadn't been swept all day. Expectations were low, but you know what? Food was FANTASTIC . We got the Beef Pepper Steak which had a nice little spice to it. It was the star of the meal. Also ordered the breaded green beans, again outstanding. PF Changs invented the lettuce wraps with chicken so we had to get that and it did not dissapoint. Rice was also a big hit at our table. Drink service could have been better but no complaints.“

“Supporting the democracy of Taiwan with 2 chopsticks in hand. #malamagic“

“Very very delicious and comforting. Real deal. Considered dropping a star for slow service but in retrospect I think Head of the Charles this weekend just made everything a little more slow.

Lanzhou beef noodle soup was SO yummy words can’t even describe how the broth made me feel tbh. Lamb skewers were fatty and juicy and bursting with flavor. Mala tofu with preserved egg and rice was a great contrast to the other dishes — light and refreshing (also I love preserved egg with my whole heart). And the osmanthus flavor iced jelly? Slurp.

Picture included of plates made CLEAN.“

“Wow! This unassuming stall in the 88 Food Connection is home to some really excellent food. We thoroughly enjoy the lamb pilaf and beef noodle soup. The chefs are also very nice folks and we're happy to support this place.
