Food is generally very very salty. The rating is truly misleading.

I came here for a late dinner on a Wednesday night. It was almost empty, but it shouldn’t have been, because the food is great. And the staff is friendly and helpful. I have mobility issues and they asked several times how they could better accommodate me. I was almost sad that I didn’t actually need any help.

Some of the best if not THE best Chinese food I have ever had. If we are all reading this review then we like Chinese food which means we’ve had Chinese food numerous times. There are some restaurants that taste exactly the same and taste great, same spare ribs, same lo mein etc. however there are a few places that really you can tell are homemade. This place was one of those and was the best one of those I’ve ever had.
The Shanghai noodles were incredibly satisfying to eat, thicker noodles, pork, fresh vegetables and flavors that didn’t weigh you down that night or the next morning.
The highlight for me was the Pork & Leek Dumplings. The best dumplings I’ve ever had, incredibly satisfying and fragrant in greens that blended with the pork inside.
Not from Boston but can say I am 100% returning next time I return for a Bruins game.

The food is terrible, we were 3 people and none of us couldn’t eat. Don’t waste your time or money.

This is neither authentic nor good quality... We ordered: a meat dish on the specialty menu-- barely had any meat, it was super sweet. A dumpling dish- not freshly made, tasted worse than the frozen dumping I bought from the store. A spicy smelly tofu-- cannt tell the quality of this one, too much spice that covered up anything else.. Overpriced food

A Royal Decree on Dumplings: All Hail Dumpling Xuan!
The Queen and I were recently struck by a powerful, dough-wrapped craving. The royal scrolls of Instagram alerted us to a promising fiefdom in East Cambridge: Dumpling Xuan. With stellar reviews as our guide and a 15-minute chariot ride, we embarked on a quest for the perfect parcel.
Dumpling Xuan is nestled in a neighborhood, a cozy spot where the parking is of the street variety (a classic Cambridge jousting tournament). Do they take reservations? Our intelligence suggests not. We bravely walked in, were promptly greeted by a most friendly subject, and were shown to a perfectly sized table for two. The realm is intimate, buzzing with the happy chatter of commoners and nobles alike, all united by the glorious scent of steaming and frying dough. The air itself was delicious.
Behold, the menu! A vast and glorious tapestry of options that could intimidate a lesser appetite. But our mission was clear: Dumplings. Steamed. Fried. We wanted them all. Service was swift and friendly, even as a steady stream of loyal takeout patrons created a revolving door of deliciousness—always a stellar sign.
The feast began to arrive. First, the Scallion Pancakes: flaky, savory, and the ideal scepter to wield while waiting. Then, the main event: the Fried Pork and Cabbage Dumplings. Let it be known far and wide: these dumplings are no mere snack. They are substantial, generously filled, and packed with flavor. This is meat justice, served in a perfectly golden-brown vessel.
Not to be outdone, The Queen’s order of Shanghai Style Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) arrived. They were even grander, delicate pouches holding a thrilling, hot, and savory broth within. A word of caution to the court: do not burst these precious jewels prematurely! The technique is part of the fun.
The final verdict from the throne? Dumpling Xuan absolutely lives up to the hype. The portions are generous, the quality is top-tier, and the vibe is authentically fantastic. Whether you dine in to soak up the atmosphere or summon their delights to your own castle via delivery, Dumpling Xuan is a dumpling destination worthy of your patronage.
Our royal seal of approval is officially granted. Long live the dumpling

The food was amazing!!
Xiao long baos (pork soup dumplings) - The skin was thicker than usual (which I liked) and the filling was filled w soup and pork meat. It was so juicy and flavorful and I would definitely recommend this one 🥟. 10/10.
Steamed veggie dumplings - This was a comfort meal tbh and it tasted great with the vinegar/soy sauce(?). The filling was filled w veggies and glass noodles. 8/10.
Tofu skin w edamame 🫘 - Omg literally my favorite dish from this place. It was a surprise because it was sooo flavorful and the texture was soft and chewy. The tofu skin paired so well with the edamame. 10/10.
Scallion pancakes - The usualy chinese takeout scallion pancakes. It was perfectly crispy and paired well w the soy sauce, although nothing special. 7/10.
