“The food here is great . Scallion pancake wraps with beef ,crispy chicken or shrimp are fantastic . Steamed buns , dumplings and noodle dishes too . Service is great . It's a small place , only a few tables , so takeout may be a good option . Definitely worth the trip .

Parking: On street parking . I've never had a problem , but it is a little tight in the neighborhood .“

“One of the freshest, crispiest, and tastiest dumpling place in Boston. Their soup dumpling is fresh and packed with umami soup. The Shanghai pork buns all have a crispy bottom with soft dough and flavorful pork stuffing. Their hand pulled noodles are also fresh with lots of veggies and the portion size is very generous! Lit will come back!“

“La Mei Hot Pot is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic and flavorful hot pot experiences. From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma and warm atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the variety of options ensures there’s something for everyone. The broth options are a standout—rich, aromatic, and full of depth.

We’ve been coming here almost twice a month for six months last year and have started doing the same this year as well. We’ve brought numerous friends along, and everyone has loved it! Our go-to order is the double broth with veggies, lamb, and tofu, and we always opt for the hand-pulled noodles—they are absolutely delicious and a must-try.

The service is impeccable, with staff who are friendly, attentive, and eager to make recommendations. They make sure everything runs smoothly, from explaining the menu to ensuring your table has everything you need. The attention to detail truly enhances the dining experience.

The quality of the food and the overall experience make the prices more than reasonable. Whether you’re a hot pot aficionado or trying it for the first time, La Mei Hot Pot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely continue coming back and recommending it to all our friends!“

“I recently dined at Hongkong Cafe and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was exceptional. I ordered the General Tsao's Chicken and Chicken Teriyaki, both of which were absolutely delicious. The General Tsao's Chicken had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, with crispy chicken pieces coated in a flavorful sauce. The Chicken Teriyaki was equally impressive, with tender, juicy chicken and a rich, savory teriyaki glaze. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and served with generous portions. I highly recommend Hongkong Cafe for anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I will definitely be returning soon!“

“The food is beyond delicious and the service was perfect, friendly and very attentive server. The only downside is the prices as the food is super expensive, worth it for a treat but hard to justify $50 for one person casual dinner for one appetizer and an entree. Overall highly recommend.“

“It was delicious!! Indoor and outdoor dining and very pleasant waiter“
