29 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!“

“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.“

“It’s an Internet celebrity restaurant, but it’s still worth trying. ?Environment, food, and service are both average. ?Spicy chicken, crispy tofu, and boiled beef are all fresh and well cooked, especially the chicken, which is spicy and fragrant. ??The price is OK? , in short, very good in the United States ?“

“flavour was ok, service was quick and attentive, there’s a discount you can get by signing up for chowbus

my qualm is my food was pretty lukewarm/tepid when it was served. we also got dumplings which were piping hot and fresh but for some reason, my noodles were just really cold. probably wouldn’t come again“

“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!“

“I’ve never had skewers bbq before at a restaurant and this was an excellent experience to introduce me to the cuisine. The meats were so well seasoned. I was so happy with everything I got and our service. Honestly, I dreamt about the Mongolian skewers and cucumbers. SO GOOD!!!“

“This place just moved to my top 5 favorite restaurants! I asked them to surprise me and they brought me two amazing dishes. Highly recommend this place!“

“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！“

“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.“

“Yes, friends, they are open again! I was so sad when they closed due to the fire years ago. The restaurant is beautifully redecorated, the staff are friendly, and the food is just as delicious as I remembered! I’m so glad they’re back (as well as the other restaurants next door).“

“Cool old theatre converted to a restaurant. Food was middle of the road. My main complaint is you dont know what things are when you buy them. If they could add a simple description of what youre buying it would make the place much better. Ended up tossing half the stuff we ordered because we didnt know what we were buying. Oh well.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is always good. This time service was lacking. Our food was delivered with no plates- asked three times and finally got up and got them ourselves Drinks took time- it was not busy when we arrived at 5:15 on a Saturday- so not sure why there was such a delay. Luckily our show was at 7:30- so we had time!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
