So many reasons to give this place 5⭐. The dishes were so flavorful, in a way that I've not had before. The dry pot cauliflower was perfectly sweet and spicy - not too much. Mapo tofu was peppery and had depth, the chive&egg dumplings were simple (in a good way)
The staff was also really friendly, he packed our takeout for us, and greeted us genuinely. All around great experience
The space is pretty chill, no frills. So definitely not as fancy as other Brookline spots, but it was quiet when we got there and the food def punched above the price range and fanciness of the spot

Some of the best and most authentic Chinese food you’ll get in Boston. Brought my Chinese parents here and they were impressed. Also incredibly affordable and portion sizes are great. Definitely come out here if you’re craving Sichuan/Hunan food.

Been there at least 5 times. Does not disappoint. The roasted peanuts are absolute fire. Our eyes ate more than our stomach, but in an awesome way. Very generous portions.

Authentic north-eastern Chinese dishes with great service! We tried their dumplings, chicken, fried cabbage, hot and sour soup and all of them were delicious in generous portions.

Definitely don’t get the stewed beef with cuttlefish, the meats were tough and chewy.

Every dish taste super salty. It’s like they put half jar of salt in the dishes. For the chicken in chili oil, the chicken are all really bad parts with minimal meat and all chicken bone and skin. The soup were like drinking salt water. We ordered like 6/7dishes and none of them is edible after the 5th dish we just pick up the bill and left the restaurant because the food are just so bad.

Actually mad fire. I love salty egg yolk dishes and this place nailed it with 2 dishes when most places don’t even have 1. The salty egg yolk potato was literally chefs kiss. Food came out super fast and it was really easy to order. Another group in there was being really loud and my family was getting bothered but one of the workers there talked to the group for us and it was really nice, so I’m grateful for that. The place is super small but cozy and regardless, the food is bussin.

Incredible food and a wonderful staff. The best scallion pancakes in Greater Boston! You should go.

It was a bit greasy and pricey, in my opinion. The overall quality is still good. I liked the pig kidney and sliced beef with numbing peppers
food is greasy and not fresh, maggots in soup, which they said was normal. lomein drenched in sesame oil.

The food was great there. A stew or soup is always good in such icy season. The staff were also very nice. We went there pretty early before the noon on the weekend when there were only a few people dining in. And the atmosphere was relaxing and made people feel cozy. I would recommend this place if you love Chinese food.

Very authentic, most importantly, they have dishes from North China, Shandong. Must try the chicken and the stew. Dumpling is average.

The food tastes fine, above average, however, not worth the price at all, seriously overpriced
