32 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!“

“Delicious food. Quick and friendly service. Sautéed clam with black bean sauce is a must to order- always perfectly sautéed. Best salted fish fried rice. I personally just do not prefer the smell of the restaurants when they happen to locate at basement. But happy with food and service!“

“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?“

“Winsor Dim Sum Café – A Dim Sum Gem in Boston Chinatown

We tried Winsor Dim Sum Café recently, and honestly, it hit all the right notes. If you’re looking for solid, authentic dim sum in Boston’s Chinatown, this place is a winner.

We weren’t here for the ambiance—just came for the food, and it delivered. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. The service was great too—friendly and super efficient, which isn’t always the case with dim sum spots.

We ordered a bunch of dishes: shiu mai, fried rice, several kinds of bao, and other classic dim sum staples—and every single thing was delicious. The bao especially stood out: soft, warm, and packed with flavor. My family, who lived in China for a few years, was impressed and said it tasted like the real deal. That’s a pretty strong endorsement.

We’ve tried a few other spots in Chinatown, but Winsor stands out for three things: the taste, the speed, and the service. Definitely adding this to the go-to list when we’re craving dim sum.“

“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.“

“Came here for dinner on a Sunday night after a tiring day and the food hit the spot. I got the Hainanese chicken rice and watercress with spicy Malaysian shrimp paste. Food came out really fast (5 mins) and the staff were very attentive. The chicken rice itself was very good, but the chicken was slightly over cooked. Overall, it was good for the price. The watercress was surprisingly good - I haven’t had this dish in a long time, but it was a bit overpriced for a vegetable dish. It’s not spicy, but the shrimp paste adds a nice flavor. Was good overall, will come back if I’m ever craving Malaysian food and I’m looking forward to try the other dishes!“

“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!!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“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！“

“Upscaled Chinese fusion restaurant.

Tried a few items, all had an above average rating for me. My 5* worth review is for the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. The meat was very tender and succulent. Price to dish ratio is average with a lot of their items priced higher, but also they have a very nice ambience and the best part is the ease of placing an order per table basis by just scanning the QR code where every individual can add their own times collectively for the table. A very convenient and innovative idea which I would absolutely love for all the restaurants to have, so a big kudos to them for implementing this technology.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“honestly 3.75 out of 5 stars
taste is good , the pan fried bao dough isn't quite right : taste dead n way crispy.
soup large wonton missing pickled turnip bits (soup has the pickled turnip taste n white pepper as it should)
$9.25 for 4 pan fried bao is quite pricy
ok every so often a
for some Shanghai nostalgia fix“

“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!“

“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.“

“I ordered the dry fried noodles and the small plate chicken. The service was quick (took 10 minutes). The food was nice and I enjoyed the fried noodles more than the chicken plate. It would have been better if the chicken plate had boneless chicken pieces. Quantity was also good but I felt like the price is too high. Overall a decent place that I would probably come back to try the other things on the menu.“

“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.“

“Wanted some lunch before heading back to New Hampshire- popped in here as it was closest to where I parked.
WOW!!!! I mean, all I got were spring rolls and Taiwan style noodles with chicken. Both were AMAZING!!!! WOW!!!! Thank you very much for a wonderful lunch!! ???❤️?“

“It's a very simple fly restaurant, but it's not easy to eat authentic Chinese food here. This kind of product is worth recommending. The dishes are very generous. Two people, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, a bowl of rice, three cans of drinks + tip $50 Yuan, very satisfied with the meal. The price/performance ratio is very high and the service from the boss is also very good. The dining environment is average and there are few seats. If you miss the peak period, you don’t have to wait for a table. Free parking is available in front of the restaurant.“

“The food is phenomenal. Don't come expecting traditional Chinese food and open your mind to Hong Kong fusion. The Chinwich sandwich with char siu is delectable, the Hong Kong hot chicken sandwich is one of the very best in Boston. The cocktails are curated, tasty, and go down easily.

The menu is expansive but not expensive. There are tons of different types of dishes (too many to name) and everything is pretty darn good. This has become a go-to destination in Chinatown for manyband featured on the Travel Channel for good reason!“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“Loved this place! The food was tasty and fresh, and the lemon tea was super good. Everyone there was really friendly — even the little girl at the front was so sweet and helped me out with my questions. The vibe is nice and welcoming, and it just feels good eating here. I’ll definitely be back again!“
