Not as delicious as before

The mixed meat is not worthy. It costs me around $30. This dish only has a few meat but a lot of vegetables. I won’t go again.

This place is tragically depressing. They won’t let you sing a song even if someone sang it hours before. One server intervened and said “yes” to our song. The other server said they heard that song prior to the first server even coming on shift. That second server said we couldn’t repeat a song. That is not the spirit of a karaoke bar. People want to hear others sing with heartfelt passion. Very disappointing and not how any karaoke bar goes. So they lost 9 people business immediately. It’s not about the vibe at this location. It’s about semantics.

Been coming here for years for takeout. Recently saw a few table available for sit down but the restaurant is small and not a comfortable space for dining in. The wonton noodle soup is a staple and is fairly good. You can get a variety of meats combination for soup noodles, most commonly the roast pork, chicken, duck or pig. All their roast meats are usually well cooked with good flavors. Service is not friendly but usually efficient.

Food was okay but the worker I spoke with was extremely rude and condescending after I asked to get our food fixed since it was not what we ordered. The worker proceeded to argue with me that my order was right when it wasn’t and then we just left. Really bad experience and the food was just not good enough to deal with it.

It is everything you expect it to be. Nothing more and nothing less and is probably some of the best cost to portion size ratio in all of boston for food

I fear the Boston influencers overhyped this place. The food was almost good, but it was room temperature/cold. The crispy pork was good in flavor but a little greasy and the duck was very bony. Server was curt and the seating area was dirty and smelly. The food was cheap and simple and in large portions, so it might be good for some but I will not be returning.

The food here was ok, I ordered ubereats sanbaofan and the duck was all bones, barely any meat on it, and the chicken isn't really Chinese authentic, tasted like cotton. But the portion size was decent

Triple Meat is my go-to here! Duck, Crispy Pork Belly & Char siu - Quick and easy, comes with rice. Bamboo with Chili is awesome! There are a few tables and chairs you can eat at.

Reliable spot for BBQ meat over rice.

Been dropping by this place for quick bites now and then. BBQ meat places (the kind with ducks hanging in the window) aren’t super common in Boston Chinatown, but this is probably the most popular. Their menu covers a good range—from BBQ duck and stewed beef to Charsiu pork. While not everything’s great, they nail a couple of dishes really well.

My top picks here are the Pipa duck, Crispy pork, and Char siu pork—though the char siu can be hit-or-miss, especially outside peak hours (best to grab it around opening time). Some of their other meats lean a bit dry, so ask for extra juice or sauce if you can. Still, when it comes to Pipa duck and crispy pork, Hong Kong Eatery is on par with some of the best no-frills BBQ spots in NYC Chinatown. Worth a try.

Favorites: Pipa Duck, Crispy Pork
Solid: Beef Tendons, Roasted Duck
Decent: Beef Tripe, Chicken Leg, Beef Brisket

i grew up eating chinese meat rice plates and i came here because of tiktok and how everyone says its a good deal — its not that good of a deal pricewise i actually found $14 for two meats to be more expensive than what i'm used to. the meats were dry, unflavorful, rough, and some cuts were WAY TOO fatty i couldn't even eat it. the entire rice plate tasted bland.

was disappointed (T ^ T)

Not only is the food cheap, but it’s damn good too. I ordered the two meat plate with roasted duck and bbq pork. The first thing I noticed was how fatty and juicy the roasted duck was. Next, the bbq pork which had a caramelized sweetness to it. Lastly, the chili oil. The chili oil wasn’t spicy, but it was incredibly aromatic.

Highly recommend giving the place a try if you’re looking for a quick bite.

For a quick Chinese breakfast I stopped by HK Eatery. While a long line formed, everyone queued for the roast duck and other BBQ items. Since I wanted to dine in, I proceeded to the back, where larging ordering screens let me put in my order of fish congee ($8) and scallion pancake. No line at this part

Today's items both came piping hot, but undersalted. I ended up adding chili oil and extra salt to it. At least it was quick, hot, and cheap. Can't have everything.

I also bought a few to-go appetizers, priced at $6 each. The duck gizzard and pig ears are not worth it; they are bulked up by radish and cucumber, respectively. A rip-off given the already small size.
