It’s that perfect hole in the way type of place. I went for the $10 dumplings and they were the perfect snack before starting the freedom. Boston Commons is within walking distance.

This place is AMAZING. Do NOT skip. Quick delivery and absolutely ORGASMIC food. I know everyone comes for the pan fried buns, but do NOT forget to order the crab rangoons they were seriously the best I’ve ever had. The wrapper was just so incredibly crispy. I will 100%%%% be coming back as much as my wallet will allow.

生煎包 Pan fried soup dumplings (labeled pan-fried buns on menu) here are absolutely goated: great value and yummy. 8 for $10. Best if you get it while a new batch is coming out hot.

Nice lil cafeteria style restaurant tucked away on the edge of Chinatown.

Classic dishes plus some Chinese American. No frills let’s get good food type of spot.

Awesome lunch spot if you’re coming from downtown too.

Small place that is friendly and feels very authentic. Loved the shengjian bao!!! and there was a long line of people there, always a good sign.

Got the dumpling 8 for $10.
Loved it and will be going back!
The bottom is crispy and the meat is very juicy as well. Served warm and I reheated the leftover for dinner and it was still great.

is pretty good. $12 malatang? That’s crazy, that’s wild, that’s magnificent. There was beef, beef tripe, and a giant box of golden coins inside, along with some 海带. The golden coins were spicy, but it’s okay to eat because we’re off Bretton-Woods now. The coin value? Not sure, because you have to eat them and can’t keep them. Anyways pretty good. Did i make up the coin part? Yes, isn’t it crazy that you can just say stuff on the internet

This is my favorite place in Boston Chinatown. The authentic Chinese cuisine dining hall— three dishes and a soup for only $10. The Malatang and hotpot also only for $12. I never seen somewhere else this good and large portion for this price. There are about 20 choices of dishes including my favorite 苦瓜. All six we ordered where weee good and fresh. The best is that food felt quite healthy and not very salty or oily like in most other Chinese restaurants.

Great lunch deal for 10 bucks. Can’t go wrong. Plenty of choice in a canteen style setting. Very authentic
