50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Boston

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

“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?“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service at this location and a great location downtown! Was lovely stopping in for a meal with friends and the staff was very helpful seating our larger group. Our servers Abby & Gabi were excellent and gave us great food recommendations!“

“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.“

“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.

Recommended for locals and people passing through!“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“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.“

“I often Travel to China and very picky with Chinese food. Hippo kitchen is the best Chinese restaurant I tried in MA. Authentic. My fav dish is “husband and wife lung slices. 夫妻肺片 (fūqī fèi piàn), often translated as “Husband and Wife Sliced Meat” — a famous Sichuan cold appetizer. Despite the literal translation meaning “husband and wife lung slices,” it typically doesn’t include lung. Here’s a quick overview:

What It Is:

A spicy, numbing, and flavorful cold dish made with thinly sliced beef, often including:
• Beef tongue, tripe, and sometimes heart
• Tossed in a bold Sichuan-style chili oil sauce with garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed peanuts, cilantro, and Sichuan peppercorns“

“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.“

“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！“

“This place is AMAZING. Do NOT skip. Quick delivery and absolutely ORGASMIC food. I know everyone comes for the pan fried buns, but do NOT forget to order the crab rangoons they were seriously the best I’ve ever had. The wrapper was just so incredibly crispy. I will 100%%%% be coming back as much as my wallet will allow.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“One of the best roast/bbq Chinese meats (crispy roast pork, duck, char sui etc) although in the outskirts of Chinatown and difficult to find parking. Well worth it though. Be ready for cash only. You can get protein by the pound, half ir whole duck/boiled chicken. Or yiu can get rice dishes, lo mein or noodles soup with protein of choice, which comes with some Napa cabbage. There a few booths for dine in but with limited street parking, we have only done this a handful if times.“

“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.“

“Ordered the lunch special beef and Broccoli. It was a huge portion and the food was delicious. The beef was super tender and flavorful. Egg roll was fresh and full. Owner was super nice and helpful, and even gave me a water bottle because it was so hot out. First time coming, but will definitely be back!“

“Came in from a miserably rainy & windy trip and was met warmly! Friendly customer service, great food, and affordable!

Have been going here for a year or so, have never had any issues! Highly recommend their dumplings, chow mein, and scallion beef w/ extra ginger!“

“I am very shocked by the portion size for the price, the lady at the counter gave me a load ton of noodles (Vegetables Lo Mein) which filled up my entire container. This much of noodles for 6 bucks is an absolute steal, The counter lady was also very nice and knew I was hungry. Thanks for the great experience Ding Ho😂“

“My wife and I were in from out of town. My wife is Food was so good we went two nights out of the four we were in town. We arrived around 5 and were seated right away. It was packed by 6. First night we had individual pots and the second night we shared. The frog legs were very good! Don't forget to add the sauce and snack option.“

“It’s exactly as you expect. Quick, flavorful & at a good price in a hole in the wall environment. Recommend the tomato based broth with sirloin. The bbq tripe skewer was great in flavor & crunchy texture. The bbq sausage felt like it was missing a flavor (maybe ginger or just cooking it longer to char/carmelize?) to complete it. The wife also says the tofu skin is wonderful.“

“We got empress chicken, lo mein, a claypot rice, and side of veggies. All delicious. Chicken was a little salty and did not come with white rice, which would have helped cut out the saltiness, but we had claypot rice to go with it instead. Owners gave us complimentary dessert (mung bean soup). Good place for a group dinner! Would come back for the chicken.“

“Nyyydelig mat,anbefales���“

“I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant, and I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed it! One of the standout features was their flexibility with ordering; they allow you to place your order right up until the very last minute. This is a wonderful option, especially for those who like to take their time deciding or for anyone who might be dining in a larger group with varying tastes.

The food itself is absolutely amazing. Each dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor, showcasing the rich and diverse culinary traditions of Chinese cuisine. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection.

In addition to the fantastic food, the customer service was truly outstanding. The staff were not only friendly and welcoming but also attentive and eager to ensure that we had a wonderful dining experience. They made us feel right at home.

Another impressive aspect was the generous portion sizes; they really give you so much food! I was pleasantly surprised by the amount we received, making it a great value for the quality of the dishes. If you're looking for an exceptional meal, you absolutely must come here. It’s undoubtedly the best Chinese food I've ever had, and I can't wait to return for another delightful experience!“

“I visited Little Asia a few times after trying a few different things I've decided that some of the other dishes rather than the typical Chinese food such as the Husang beef and in the garlic noodles were amazing salt and pepper chicken wings were also nothing to forget “

“The staff here are very friendly and kind. I recently bought a small crab Rangoon and small ginger and scallion lo mein. It was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and had great taste without too much oil. I would highly recommend this place and the dishes I got!“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

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

“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!“

“If you want some real Cantonese Chinese food and roasted meat in Dorchester area, this is the place. If you are super hungry, the 3 meat delights will fill any stomach. Huge portions of meats on top of a container full of rice. Salt and pepper squid and porchop or shrimps with rice, fish and tofu with rice, and black pepper beef are some of my favorites. Everything is very flavorful.This place is takeout only since COVID pandemic.Cash only.“

“Jibei Chuan is the BEST rice noodle restaurant I've tried in Boston! Their flavors are authentic, the soup & broths are extremely flavorful, the rice noodles are plentiful per order for an equal ratio of rice noodle : toppings/broth, the toppings are diverse, the deserts are rich and authentic, and the prices are FAIR. Other rice noodle places charge around $15-$20 per bowl with minimal noodles, but Jibei Chuan gives you plenty of bulk for your buck (around $10-$15)!

The rice noodles in tomato soup and the rice noodles in MaLa soup are must-tries and the Hong Kong French Toast is a NECESSITY if you come!

The atmosphere is spacious and the staff are very friendly. The service is quick (around 5-10 minutes). 10/10!“

“I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in. However it now is one of my favorite places. From the quality to the flavor.. I like that its a la carte and you add what you want to a bowl and pick your broth and hand it off to be cooked. Be mindful its by the pound. Don't end up like me with a $40 soup 😋 🤪 😜 But it was worth every penny.“

“China Station’s food is amazing! The restaurant is very clean and hygienic. The General Tso’s Chicken tastes so good, and the price is very reasonable — the combo is only $15.75 (about $16.85 after tax) with an appetizer included. Each order even comes with a free egg roll worth $2.80, and if you order more, they’ll give you extra Orange Chicken for free — delicious! Their tremella juice is also fantastic; I’ve never had anything like it at other restaurants. They said it’s a free treat for customers. Highly recommended!“

“Being single, but liking this fact as I lol…., most of times I hate cooking for one. So I work all day, go home shower and then go out and dance like the late bloomer I found out I am.

This is one of my very important stops as per my food!!! The gentlemen that serve are very very professional and I feel well taken care.
Usually, I love my Mexican food from Allan (owner of La Neta…) but my cravings surpass Mexican food as that’s my childhood blessings.

This place has all I want, staying open late till 3 is something I have to appreciate. So thank you all for allowing me to show up here late and wearing my performance outfits as that’s what I Am:
A dancer of the Now that lets people find their own search as long as they don’t opaque my search.

Bias sings and I wish you the world.
Thank you to all these hard working humans that help me to be fed and with quality.“

“Crispy duck ramen is incredible!“

“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!!“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Don’t believe the negative reviews!.. this places is amazing!… food was delicious, friendly staff and portions were huge. Not to many places make pork fried rice the way I like it but this place nailed it.. this is my first time at this place and will definitely be going back… Great Job!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The General Tso's chicken is absolutely wonderful there's plenty of meat within the chicken itself and all their other options are really great too especially the number six: the Fried Chicken in plantains, you should totally come here sometime it's cash only but it's totally worth it!“

“Finding this place was a little difficult but you'll know when you've found it. They have an ATM since it's cash only. I wasn't sure the staff understood my order but I got what I wanted so it all worked out. The rice tasted like it had been sitting in a bucket for a long time and had gotten dusty. But the sesame chicken was good and the ribs were phenomenal. I'm still dreaming of going back for more ribs.“

“We used Fiskie's for our event (Diwali) catering and they were outstanding. The brought a variety of stuff and Pani-puri, Daal-baati, gulab jaman were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to visit their restaurant. Devarshi bhai is a polite and patient while serving and so is his staff.“

“The food is amazing especially the salt and pepper shrimp.“
