We love the claypot rice there. They are better than what we have in Hong Kong and honestly the consistency of performance is wowing.

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.

This is a multiple visit potential. The stir fried bean stalk were very good but the curry fishballs were not hot enough. Proper clay pot rice but a bit too dried. They should have added lighter sauce after removing from fire (or offer to add). I had to ask for more sauce. Great service but too pushy in upselling drinks. Be prepared to share table.

It’s not easy to see other places. I’m so http find it out, it’s not big restaurant. The clay pot rice is stunning, very very yummy Cantonese style! It’s authentic Cantonese home style restaurant, but you can taste the authentic Cantonese food there.

Ive heard the food is inconsistent, but mine was really good. The chinese sausage and chicken was flavorful and I love how crispy the rice gets in the clay pot.
Very limited seating available, fairly quick service.

Inexpensive, but interior is awful. Decent fried rice $11, which is a bargain. Very small place. Often very crowded. Service is what you can find in China town.

Clay Pot Cafe in Boston’s Chinatown is a hidden gem for authentic Cantonese comfort food. Their rice rolls are silky smooth and melt in your mouth, offering a delightful texture that’s hard to find elsewhere. The stir-fried green beans are perfectly cooked—crisp, flavorful, and seasoned just right. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal. Highly recommend!

I’m a Cantonese so I like clay pot rice. This restaurant is one of my favorite one. We usually dine in and the food is good. But last week, I ordered a clay pot rice to go. Based on my experience, I could tell the to-go order rice was not cooked by a clay pot. It was very likely just from the rice cooker and pan fried the eels and put them on the rice top. I was very disappointed that they do this for to-go order. I will never order clay pot to-go here again.

Absolutely love Clay Pot Cafe! This place has become one of my go-to spots for comfort food. Their casseroles and clay pot rice are packed with flavor — perfectly cooked with that delicious crispy rice at the bottom that you can only get from a real clay pot. You can tell they take pride in the details.
The Cantonese milk tea is also top-notch — strong, smooth, and perfectly sweetened. Tastes just like what you’d get in Hong Kong. Authentic, cozy, and consistent. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Cantonese flavors!
The food was delicious! The Chicken Chinese Sausage was tender and sweet. The atmosphere felt very homely and welcoming. Will come back again during my next visit!

It’s rare to find a restaurant that serves claypot rice, but this hidden gem specializes in it. Every bite brings back childhood memories. You’ve got to try the frog and yellow eel claypot rice—it’s incredible. For something more traditional, the spare ribs or chicken and mushroom claypot rice are also fantastic. All are truly delicious!

one of the few places in boston that feel truly hole in the wall anymore. high quality delicious dishes at reasonable prices. our hack is to get the “small” clay pot because the larger sizes give proportionally more rice than protein. would recommend everything we ordered, which was the chinese broccoli, scrambled egg and shrimp, sausage clay pot and pork clay pot!
