Slight discount if paying in cash. I got the 花胶鸡汤米粉 (Fish maw + chicken soup w/ rice noodles) and it was pretty good! 1 piece of fish maw in the entire bowl though. Chicken was tender and broth was good. It’s a rich broth.

The portion size is huge — honestly enough for two meals. The flavor is pretty average, comparable to pre-made food you’d find in China, nothing fancy but not bad either. That said, for this price and this portion, even if I get tired of it, I still have to give it credit. The value is hard to beat.

The food was very good. Portions were spot on. All the flavors were on point. Iasked for hot tea and they brought it in a large plastic cup like a sweet tea glass?!?! I recommend knowing what you want because the waitress was really unable to help us. She was very sweet but spoke no English. We tried to communicate with Google translate but it was really hard. She tried though. It did give the place a super authentic feel to it. I'd recommend going here if you love authentic Chinese food flavors.

Chicken wings are passable. Brown sugar rice cakes met expectations.

mala beef soup: spicy with a generous portion of I don't know what cut of beef, some Chinese black mold, a bit of cabbage and nice thick noodles. The Szechuan peppercorns always make my mouth numb, but for 15 bucks, this blows away anything I can get back in Hartford. the only downside I would say, is that the bathroom could use a little bit of attention, and I would hate to think that judging it by this that may spill over into the cleanliness of the kitchen
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!

My friend and I passed by this restaurant over the weekend and were drawn in by the sign that read “Rice noodle in Supreme fish maw chicken soup,” so we went in to give it a try. This was my first time trying fish maw—I’m not sure if it’s consumed in other cultures, but in southern Chinese culinary traditions, fish maw is considered a delicacy.
Fish maw is the dried swim bladder of a fish, a delicacy particularly popular in Asian cuisine, especially in soups and stews. It is a good source of collagen, protein, and other nutrients. It’s known for its spongy texture and ability to absorb flavors, making it a versatile ingredient.
A very special experience—highly recommended!

Came here spontaneously on a Saturday around 1pm and there were only three tables occupied. The two of us ordered the Minced Meat Dried Rice Noodles and Mini Soup Dumplings. The noodles came out not too long after and were exactly what I was craving. It had a little bit of spice but you could still appreciate the taste without being in too much pain. The soup dumplings came out after and were the perfect texture. Overall I was really satisfied with my meal and would definitely come back.

Don't get dumplings. When we went a while ago, they were clearly some archetype of frozen Costco dumpling.
