50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Chelsea

“The meals they serve are fresh and tasty, the service they provide are excellent. A lot of seafood. Again, they always have delicious food. I have a wonderful experience everytime l go over there.“

“Came here for lunch one day during the week after walking by. It looked like your typical Chinese food take out restaurant. They had really good lunch combo choices. For around $8.00 I received a good portion of beef with broccoli and pork fried rice. I added an egg roll and a soda for not much more. I was pleased with everything except for the older gentleman’s people skills. When ordering, he seemed to cut me off instead of letting me say everything I needed. I was annoyed to the point I was about to tell him never mind but I took a chance with him and glad I did. I will be back soon!

Parking: Metered Street parking only. 1 quarter= 30 minutes.“

“Wow! I've seen this restaurant name often but never tried it until today. I don't know what I was waiting for because this dish was AMAZING 🤩 I got the white meat Chicken Teriyaki All Day Special with plain Lo Mein Noodles.. I can see why the place is called Teriyaki Yummy because this might have been the best Asian meal I've ever had! Will be ordering again very soon. 😋“

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal! Pan seared pork bao and mala duck for appetizers. General Tso’s chicken and Grandma’s pork noodles for entrees. Good stuff! Kyle the bartender was awesome. We ate at the bar,“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“The fried noodle is delicious. Unfortunately the soup is beef broth otherwise I could eat that too
We ordered pumpkin mochi it has red bean in it which tasted good. The famous taro puff also not to be missed.
I can see myself coming back again 😁“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stone Pot Green Pepper Fish was absolutely amazing! 🔥

It arrived at the table still sizzling, and the aroma instantly made everyone hungry. The fish was incredibly tender and fresh, with no fishy taste at all. Every bite was soft, flaky, and perfectly cooked.

The green peppers added a bright, fragrant heat — spicy but not overwhelmingly intense. The broth had a subtle numbing kick from Sichuan peppercorns, but it didn’t overpower the natural flavor of the fish. Everything was well-balanced and layered with flavor.

It pairs perfectly with white rice, and honestly, I couldn’t stop eating it. So happy to find such authentic Sichuan flavor in Boston. Definitely a must-order dish and one I will come back for! 🔥“

““Chongqing Yellow Pea Noodles” 🍜 chewy but not sticky, nothing will beat this spicy Chongqing noodles.
Don’t sleep on their dry noodle “Sichuan Pepper Meat Sauce Noodle” incredible delicious, the first bite transported me back to China.

Wow, just had the most delicious soup dumplings 🥟 filled with savory broth as well as meat. Bobo chicken is one of the signature dishes, flavorful, spicy 🌶️ lovely 🥰“

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“I love the food, but the location is terrible. The wait is awful. The door and the wind tunnel effect is awful. Parking awful. Again love the food, especially the pan fried Shanghai style pork buns. The best. Just wish they were somewhere else.“

“We have a new office in Boston. So periodically I drive down from our main office to the Boston location and every time I do, I have resolved to try a new restaurant. This was today’s choice and it was SPECTACULAR! My server was fantastic. The food came out quickly and was insanely good. I didn’t know how big my stir-fried rice cake bowl would be so I ordered the sweet and sour pork loin to go with it. But the rice cake bowl was huge and tasted incredible. Lots of heat, lots of fresh prepared veggies and meat. 10/10 would recommend that dish. The pork tenderloin I tried and 10/10 would recommend it as well. The location is a bit small and that is literally the only nit I can pick. If you’re in this area, get some take out or eat in , you won’t regret it!!“

“Found this place on Google & Pinterest. So glad we gave it a try. The chicken corn soup was sweet and delicious, we had pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls, hot tea, fried rice and kimchi. It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.“

“Had my doubts, I went to the restaurant relatively late at night, and the atmosphere was a bit creepy, maybe because of the lighting. But the staffs are very friendly, and the food is incredible, especially with the price point. Will be coming back, maybe I'll try dining in next time...“

“Thank you to Chef Jon for allowing us to pick up a package of frozen dumplings during our visit to Artifact on Memorial Day. Cooked them up tonight and they were delicious, as was the edamame salad!!“

“SO YUMMY. Definitely worth the time to get in here. We were tipped onto it because of its Michelin recommendation. We went early to beat the rush, and I'm glad we did because people were starting to line up around 5:30! Can't wait to dine there again.“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“A gathering with project colleagues. The cooking method was fairly authentic, but the spiciness was only at the Cantonese level.

Fish Fillet with Hot Chili Sauce水煮魚片: As expected of their signature dish! The basa fish fillets were incredibly tender, the Sichuan peppercorns were fragrant but not numbing, and the overall flavor was oily but not greasy. The server would remove the chilies after serving, so there was no need to worry about the spiciness.

Beef Fillets & Cabbage with Hot Chili Sauce水煮牛肉: Redder and spicier than the boiled fish. The Sichuan people present commented that this was the only dish with flavor. The beef was very tender; although you could taste the tenderizing powder, it wasn't a big problem. Scallions and Szechuan peppercorns contributed much to the fragrance.

Pork Intestine with Preserved Vegetable酸菜大腸: Surprisingly, it tasted like... Hakka cuisine? The pork intestines were cut on the thicker side, not the usual kind, but the slightly sour and spicy flavor with a light thickening was just right.

Spicy Frog in Fried Pot乾鍋牛蛙: Despite the name, there was a lot of sauce; the bullfrog meat was too tough and chewy. Not recommended.

Ma Po Tofu (With minced pork)麻婆豆腐: Very delicious! The tofu was very tender, and the Sichuan peppercorns were very fragrant.

Duck with Peking Plum Sauce京醬鴨片: The duck was mushy and lacked texture, and the Beijing plum sauce was heavily diluted. I had a feeling of not knowing what I had eaten.

Sichuan Spicy Dumpling紅油水餃: I loved them!! The dumplings were large, the filling was generous, and the skin was on the thicker side, giving them a good chewy and firm texture. Besides the chili oil and peanuts, there was a hint of vinegar, which was very refreshing.

Steamed Juicy Pork Bun小籠包: The restaurant claims they are handmade daily. Plenty of soup filling, but slightly oily; the skin was chewy but not dry, unfortunately one was broken. If this isn't the case for most places, then Fuchun Ju excels in its fillings, while Zoe's excels in its skins; both are comparable and worth trying.“

“I dined in alone and ordered their black pepper beef chow fun and it was great. My waitress was pretty accommodating and I also had a great time chatting with her. She even treated me to a free bowl of dessert. Overall, really nice and genuine people.“

“We had a fantastic dinner experience at this restaurant. The hot pot was absolutely delicious, and every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. Even more impressive, I accidentally left my purse behind, and the staff went above and beyond to help me retrieve it quickly. Their honesty and kindness really stood out. Plus, they have this great 20% discount after 10 PM, which was such a nice bonus. Overall, highly recommend this place not just for the food but for the amazing service!“

“Great service at this location and a great location downtown! Was lovely stopping in for a meal with friends and the staff was very helpful seating our larger group. Our servers Abby & Gabi were excellent and gave us great food recommendations!“

“Recently had lunch here for the first time and it was soooooo good. Delicious food, warm ambience and really nice staff.“

“This place is so good. Best Uyghur food I’ve had in New England. We tried 6 entrees and enjoyed all of them. The only thing we weren’t a fan of were the dumplings and samosas because they’re very cumin forward. We received our food really quickly as well. If you’re looking for a halal Asian food spot check them out“

“I think their chicken wings really taste like McDonald’s spicy chicken wings in China! ! ! ! There is nothing like Korean fried chicken in Boston, but every time you want to eat domestic taste, this is the fried chicken! And that chicken fillet roll really tastes like the old Beijing chicken roll “

“The food is great and short wait time.“

“always my "go to" - great food and really nice people!!😀“

“What a hidden gem. I am surprised that people are not lining up outside their door to eat there. In my opinion they have some of the best Chinese food I ever had. We had the garlic eggplant and the Stir fried Tofu. The two dished were perfectly done in both taste and texture. Very reasonable prices as well. This is the second time we were there and plan to go back many more times.“

“Very delicious fish seafood noodle restaurant. Use to visit their pearl mall outlet restaurant as it’s very near to my working place. Recommended!! Cheers.“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our Hot Pot Buffet. Great value for high quality ingredients that were very fresh. We tried several choices not typically found at other restaurants. Our fantastic wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and highly efficient. We recommend Fairy Cafe and will definitely be back.“

“This place is an undercover gem. In the land and times of terrible American/Chinese food, this place stands out. I took the gamble and will certainly be back for more. The sushi was very fresh and the beef and mushroom was surprisingly high quality. If anyone is on the fence, do it.“

“IFresh Noodle is a Chinese restaurant well known for their hand pulled noodles and other Chinese dishes. The place was closed for a long time due to a fire, but reopened this year with a new, more modern design.

We got takeout, but the service was fast and the food was prepped quickly. We tried the hand pulled lamb cumin noodles, the skewers, and popcorn chicken with the thai basil seasoning. The popcorn chicken was just alright, fried well but did get a bit soggy, the seasoning wasn't too strong but did have the signature taste of thai basil. The skewer was average, not a lot of seasoning on it as well, but did taste good.

The hand pulled noodles is where it stood out. The flavor on the noodles were good, and the hand pulled noodles were stringy and not overly firm. The spice wasn't too spicy, and everything paired well together.“

“I love eating there. Dim sum and dinner menu .“

“Listen I'm a New Yorker so I know about hole in the wall joints and mom & pops place, this place was both. You would miss it if you don't pay attention. My wife and I stumbled upon this place and believe us these positive reviews aren't lying. From the beautiful staff, the food, the price, and atmosphere all was wonderful. We will be going back. An if this place reads reviews place change nothing and nothing needs to be important, it's great just the way it is.“

“Very homey, authentic food!

The house special tender beef is delicious! Great flavor and texture, and not too spicy. I also liked the woodear mushroom salad, and appreciated that it was more savory than sour.

The fish fillet with shrimp, tofu, and vegetables dish wasn't what I expected (I thought it would be braised, but it's a clear sauce) but it was very comforting and filling. The steamed eggs with clam and fish were good -- the egg was very soft -- but didn't have a lot of flavor on its own. The baby bok choy was nice and fresh.

Overall I liked the meat better than the seafood here, so I would probably try more meat dishes next time!“

“This restaurant offers authentic Chinese cuisine and is a great choice for those looking to experience traditional Chinese home-style dishes. The prices are very reasonable. However, the restaurant is relatively simple in terms of ambiance, and parking is only available on the roadside, so plan accordingly. Overall, it’s ideal for those who prioritize taste!“

“Excellent food. Great prices.. friendly service

Vegetarian options: Fresh veggies

Dietary restrictions: Sf options

Parking: There r several spots but it's a strip plaza with a cat shelter on one end so pkg can be challenging“

“There was a moment where I genuinely spaced out and thought I was just back in a small casual restaurant somewhere in China.
It makes me wonder whether places like this even expect to serve non Chinese speakers. The food is great, the price is reasonable, and more people really should try this type of service and cooking. At the same time, the whole space feels like it runs on its own reality and rhythm. In that sense, writing this entire review in English might not even make sense, because non Chinese speakers reading reviews like this might still choose not to come here. Anyway, this contradiction and the parallel pocket reality are part of the experience itself.“

“Best Chinese food ever!! drinks awesome...love the Lychee Martini...Best sushi, General Gau chicken, pork fried rice etc etc...always top notch food. it was very busy and service can be challenging but staff always smiling and tremendous efforts made. Thank you to all that made a wonderful meal“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“It is a gem in Boston Chinatown serving the Hong Kong favorites. 香滿園是波士頓唐人街的香港美食必到之處，家庭式，鮮食材，唔好走寶！“

“Asia Wok is a local favorite and has been for decades. Before that the current owner worked for Tom, in his beautiful restaurant on Brighton Avenue. It has the old style Cantonese American food that I grew up with and still love. Food is delicious and the restaurant has the best value for the money of any eatery in Allston. The owner does his own delivery and the chefs are the real deal. If you miss that kind of delicious Chinese food this is definitely the place to order from.“

“Mala Restaurant is a well known Chinese restaurant serving mala dry pot and other spicy dishes near the Packard's Corner area of Allston.

The service is quick, there is smaller tables at the location so it may not be for larger parties, but take-out is an easy process and comes out quick.

We got the mala dry pot, squid skewer, and szechuan noodles. The szechuan noodles was packed to the brim, though all the oil sat at the bottom so mixing it within the container was not feasible, and it was dry on top without the mixing. The squid skewer was good, chewy with a nice flavor and seasoning. The mala dry pot stood out, not too spicy but can add more spice if needed. The portion sizes is good, with the small being in one container and large being in two. For the price, they give you a decent amount.“

“my favorite rest. they are the best.ask for george!“

“Cutty cash only spot that offers some great roasted duck and chicken. I thought this place was great had a wide selection of meats and everything was tasty especially the duck. The marinated sweet pork was also delicious, if you want to try all three get the R1. We also tried the pork belly but it wasn’t as good as the other meats. Everything was tasty and they portions are hefty. My gf and I had three meals out of 2 plates and only spent 30 bucks. One of my favorite things to make with the leftovers was fried rice with the pork and chicken.“

“I haven't sorceress from this place in years and I see over the years it has changed from Billy TSEs to Billy Cs. I ordered delivery and when the driver got here, he immediately asked for a tip, before trying to give me my foodm first of all that is BEYOND RUDE. You dont know if I tipped on card or if I did have cash for you, but just EXPECTING it. No you dont get a tip in my eyes, that is not OK. If you're delivering and all you are expecting is a tip every time, I feel bad because not everyone tips.“

“Came here twice already. Once with just my fiance and child and this time for my fiances birthday. I'm super glad they accommodated my party of 13. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Definitely recommend the egg fried rice, lamb bone hotpot, potato chips, beef kebab. Intially came because I missed the beef and lamb skewers back from when i visited China. I gotta admit this place is the real deal and is authentic.

Snapped a photo of the Hotpot and the lamb shank, didn't have time to snap the other food because everyone ate it so fast.“
