Truly a hidden gem at the edge of Chinatown. Incredibly flavorful claypot rice that easily beat many street vendors in Asia. The selection is wide, treatment is simple, homemade. The place is small, so expect to be crowded when busy. Owner/waiter very friendly and welcoming, and attentive. I highly recommend this to locals and visitors alike. I certainly will have many more visits to sample many other interesting items on the menu.

I've lived in Boston for 27 years and finally found this place through a friend. The place is small so it is easily missed but the food is so incredibly delicious. I will be going back. I had the yellow eel clay pot rice and I should've gotten a bigger pot. I had to share with all my friends about this place.

Two of us came to this restaurant due to the good reviews. The place is small and crowded, but we were able to get a small table quickly. The order was placed through the phone using the QR code on the table. The presentation of the menu was great, but the order was not connected to my phone and went through the regular website. The food, which was good, was served. At the end of lunch, I used the checkout option, which did not allow me to pay online but asked me to wait for a person with the check. The owner (presumably) brought a printed invoice to me. Everything was correct there. Then I paid by credit card, using the small payment machine in the owner's hands. I added tips there, and the final amount looked about right. We left the restaurant.Two blocks down the street, the server/owner politely asked us to stop, apologized, and said that the transaction did not go through and he needed to try the credit card again. We went together back to the restaurant. On the way, I checked my credit card pending transactions and showed the owner that the restaurant transactions actually went through. At the restaurant, the owner looked at his tablet-type device with the screen full of Chinese characters. My order was not paid according to him, but another order was paid for by an amount listed in my recent credit card transaction. The owner said that he mischarged my order, pressed some buttons (again, Chinese characters), claiming that the money was going back to my credit card. He would like to charge the right order and amount. I was reluctant at first – the previous amount was only slightly above what I should pay, but I decided to believe the owner and make the transactions in the proper way. The owner told me that if I had a problem with the return, to contact him. (Later, I realized that it is useless to call them about potential problems).Everything looked innocent and friendly that day. But the money was never returned to me, and my credit card inquiry about the wrong charge was unsuccessful since for food order online comp[any, it looks like a fully paid order online order company will not go into such details. they will not provide names for orders.In conclusion, the system is set up in such a way that it can be easily misused, especially if customers appear to be outsiders to Boston. I paid twice for my order and lost some trust in the people.

This place gets so crowded, and the tables are packed very closely. Try to go during off hours, otherwise the wait will be quite long (upwards of 30 minutes). Remember to bring cash as well.The menu is huge, so I recommend looking at it beforehand to decide what you would like to order. Not everything comes in a clay pot (e.g., veggies), but I ordered the minced beef clay pot. It came out hot and tasted like a home-cooked meal. Hit the spot.

We randomly came across this restaurant when looking for something for lunch. It was such a great find! Super delicious, very relaxed setting - 100% the best clay pot! Also highly recommend the stuffed aubergine - still dreaming about it…

Food was very good, service was good too. But, one stipulation. After finding myself walking the streets of Boston approximately 1 hour after enjoying my meal, I felt the grip of death on my stomach. The horse wanted to leave the barn. Emaciated from the lo mein with black pepper sauce, I found myself praying for this feeling to not come upon my worst enemy. Feeling as if I escaped Neverland, I would recommend only to the toughest of soldiers.

The porridge is the best in Chinatown as far as I've had.
This restaurant's clay pot rice is incredibly delicious, possibly one of the best in the Boston area, or even the entire United States. In addition to their outstanding clay pot rice, their beef brisket clay pot and Cantonese-style stir-fried seafood are also delightful. Judging by their signage and decor, it seems like they have a long history. The space isn't large, so it's advisable to go early to avoid waiting in line.

The claypot rice and all the other dishes in this location are amazing! The rice was crispy around the edges and simple yet flavorful. Furthermore, the service here is amazing. The staff was so accommodating and checked up on us to make sure everything was good! Overall, I would rlly recommend the 3 Treasures Claypot Rice, water spinach, and any of their spicy dishes. 10/10 place. Would come again for sure.
