Every single dish had on point flavors, freshness and texture. This is absolutely my favorite new spot !

Normally I love this place, I love going here the atmosphere is great, but, they required me to come up to the front to pay instead of giving me my check which is why I didn’t leave a tip and yet she told me it was required to leave a tip? And now I’ll only order take out due to the fact it isn’t legal or necessary to tip your servers especially when they don’t ask you how your meal is. And make you walk when you’re carrying a lot of stuff. So order out, my two favorite dishes are the soup dumplings and yellow crispy noodles, order would be faster and quicker and tables are way too close together…. They’re stingy. But the food is amazing. Also, next time I come here I’m
Talking to the manager if they throw a fit about me not double tipping. I’m not stupid this used to be my favorite spot in china town and now all they have is shitty service and terrible manners.

Great food and friendly staff. Taiwan Pan Fried dumplings and the white fish hot pot were incredible. I’ll be back for more!

Cozy atmosphere we did take away got the duck and onions buns soo good you wouldn't know it was duck but super juicy!! The egg chive and glass noodle pocket was a nice change from every other place you see today!!! Totally recommend!! The scallion pancake with beef was a little different than normal. This one had cilantro, which was a nice change also.

Absolute banger of a meal. I'm really glad I came; just the right seasoning and tasty white rice. When I visit Boston again, I'm coming back. The service was really nice even though I was in a rush

Another place I read about, and it did not disappoint. The recommended fried Taiwanese style pork chop was delicious, and the salt and pepper chicken with basil was excellent as well. The soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in the city too. The black truffle and shrimp and crabmeat should not be missed.

Watch out for automatically included gratuity.

I went to eat lunch here this afternoon. I wasn’t aware that my bill already had a 18% service fee added since I didn’t get a chance to see the bill. I ended up double tipping them, so in essence I paid a 40% tip for my meal. I feel like I was fooled.

I have been to bad places before but this one is beyond imagination. They literally tried to steal tip money. Their service (if there is any) is totally crap.

Simple restaurant, no frills. Lots of great food, lunch specials on the weekdays and you can get 3 for 35$. The stinky tofu is some of the best. The bamboo with the pork also excellent. The pork chop was crispy but a bit sweet this time. Free soup with lunch special.

The service is a lot less friendly this time, they were busier and the guy wasn't as nice as the lady from last time. Soup only comes in big servings for dinner, no individual versions. Up the stairs!

The three-cup chicken was not very tasty. It was full of syrup and almost turned into shredded chicken nuggets.
The fried stinky tofu was okay, but the brine was poor.
An 18% tip is added to the bill by default, so be careful.
how did you survive in Boston?

The three cups of chicken are very bad. They are all syrup, and they are about to become shredded chicken nuggets.

The fried stinky tofu is not bad, but the flavor is very bad.

The bill adds an 18% tip by default.
