50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Milton

“On March 21,2025 I put together a retirement party for a coworker from the FC in Milton. There was about 25 of us and I must say the food , drink and service was phenomenal . Mr Chan helped me with ordering the food as I wasn’t sure how much to order . In the beginning I had ordered the food and he reached out to me to let me know he didn’t think it was enough . He was so right he helped me order extra and I’m so thankful for that . Also it was kareoke night we all thoroughly enjoyed our time . Sandy“

“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. :)“

“Not bad at all! Everything tasted good, although I wish the hand-cut noodles hadn’t been so uniform in their shape so I didn’t question their “hand” cut ness.
The beef scallion pancake was very nice, and thinly sliced scallion inside reminded me of Beijing duck flavors. It was quite sweet.
The pan fried buns were tasty, though maybe not the best I’ve had in Boston.
I would say that this restaurant has actually Chinese food, but seems very accessible and friendly to non-Chinese people who might be intimidated by anything too authentic.
Despite being quite full on Friday night, there was no wait for a table for 2.“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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! 🔥“

“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!!“

“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!!“

““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 🥰“

“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.“

“First time trying it tonight. The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. The employees were very kind and friendly. Very high quality and fresh food. Probably the best lo mein I’ve ever had. This will definitely be our new take out spot. Highly recommend. 5 stars all around!“

“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.“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of Boston. I recently went back for the first time in months, the food was so good! As I was finishing eating, I remembered reading recently there’s a New Owner, often times quality / consistency goes down with a New Owner however that is not the case here. If anything, the food was better than before 👍“

“Wonderful place to get a hot pot whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great... But what really stood out was the service: I've never in 45 years been to a place where the host comes around and warns you about the parking ban on the street, but I have now. That's truly going the extra mile for your customers!“

“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.“

“I had the hand pulled noodles with beef. I wish I took a picture but I was so excited to devour it that it slipped my mind. The beef was cooked incredibly tender and the flavor was on point. The sauce had that indescribable nostalgic scent of home cooked Chinese food. The noodles you could tell were actually hand pulled. Some thicker, some thinner, but all delicious. Perfect texture and complemented the beef very well. I’ll be back with friends“

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

“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!“

“香港に居るような雰囲気‼️goodd(⌒ー⌒)!“

“I’m surprised this place only got 4 reviews averaging 4. As Chinese who grew up in China this is one of the best and authentic places I’ve had over the years on the east coast. It may not be the fanciest but one of the warmest and most delicious and authentic places. Deserves a lot more traffic and better reviews than it has gotten. Extra bonus: you get to meet a friendly Caucasian waiter who speaks perfect mandarin.“

“The food is great and short wait time.“

“Ordered in July, 2025. Everything I got was great, especially the jumbo fried shrimp, which was excellent!!! This will be my "go-to" Chinese food!“

“FOOD WAS AMAZING service was even better it did not disappoint whatsoever! first time trying chili oil im in love😍 everything was warm nd fresh. Leila was me and my friends server for the night
we both just got off of work so you know we were hungry and that Layla girl got us real good again I recommends try the wonton soup at the chili oil in it and try the shrimp pan fried dumplings recommended by Leila!“

“Big Fun Claypot is a great addition to Brookline. It's clean and near a green line stop. The servers are polite and attentive. The salt and pepper is perfectly flavored and not dry. The beef chow fun has the wok energy taste but its on the oily side. As for the claypot rice itself, I ordered the eel which had a few bones in it but the eel was seasoned well.“

“excellent! piping hot and delicious, authentic“

“Came outside peak hours and had a pretty relaxed meal. The bilingual menu descriptions were fun. We ordered three meat dishes, and while everything was solid, nothing really stood out. It felt a little pricey at the end, though I’m not sure if that’s just the going rate for Chinese food in Somerville. Sichuan Cuisine in Watertown is still my favorite.“

“Actually BEST noodle place in Boston… I just WISH they had an option to add more noodles!! I want moreeee!! I absolutely love the Biang Biang noodles and the LanZhou La Mian, just so flavorful, and tastes so fresh and noodles are cooked perfectly. Small restaurant, not good for >2 ppl. Takes a bit of time for the food to come, but idc it’s so good. But plssss add an option to add noodles or get a bigger size bc I wanna eat more more more!“

“The dumplings were really yummy and fresh. Our noodle soups were okay, nothing impressive though. I liked the flavor of my sour and spicy broth. It was yummy to try hand pulled noodles though hated how much they stuck together. Crab rangoons and egg rolls were really average here.“

“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.“

“Great pan fried dumplings and Chinese cafeteria style dining. We were lucky and the pan fried dumplings were just coming out of the kitchen so they were piping hot - crispy outside, juicy and flavorful insides. We burned our mouths! 😰 they were so good, we took some to go. We also got a plate from the hot bar and that didn’t disappoint. Cheap prices, good food, and now they accept credit card!
Reader- if you’ve seen my other food posts, you learn that my belly eats first, camera last, hence not so great photos. Definitely coming back for more!“

“High quality of food and service“

“As for my overall impression — I'm still on the fence about whether they truly work. What I can say is that the experience is pleasant: they taste great, they're soft and chewy, don't stick to your teeth, and leave no weird aftertaste. That said, my energy levels day-to-day still feel inconsistent. Some days I feel great, other days my energy crashes. I've also noticed they seem to amplify the effects of coffee when I have both together.As for my overall impression — I'm still on the fence about whether they truly work.

That said, my energy levels day-to-day still feel inconsistent. Some days I feel great, other days my energy crashes. I've also noticed they seem to amplify the effects of coffee when I have both together.I ordered the Egg Foo Young combo with crab rangoon, and I enjoyed it so much that I'm already planning a second order to explore the menu further.
The crab rangoon had a satisfying crunch on the outside, though the fold style isn't quite my personal preference — that said, the filling was flavorful and delicious, so it's a minor quibble. The flavors throughout were well-balanced, with nothing overpowering anything else.
The Egg Foo Young came with a deep, dark brown gravy that was rich and full of flavor. There was plenty of it, too, which I appreciated — I never felt like I was scraping the bottom. It's honestly some of the best Egg Foo Young I've had in a long time.
Now, the rice deserves a special mention. There's something noticeably different about it — in the best possible way. It was plump, moist, and well-seasoned without being salty or greasy. It had a quality and heartiness to it that you don't usually find at your average Chinese restaurant; none of that thin, quick-to-dry-out variety here. I could have eaten a bowl on its own.
This was my first time ordering, so maybe I just got lucky with a great dish — but something tells me this place is the real deal. Either way, I'll definitely be back, and I'd highly recommend giving them a try.“

“I go here at least once every two weeks. It's the only decent Chinese place in the immediate area. A couple favorites are the spicy fish fillet stews with wood ear mushrooms and bamboo, and the pan fried noodles. The staff is really nice and the restaurant is bright and welcoming.“

“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!“

“One of the best Chinese takeout place in town. Fast and attentive service. Very good value. My favorites are the chicken wings and Singapore rice noodle. Other dishes are worth a try too. Highly recommended if you don't want to cook and don't want to break the bank.“

“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.“

“very good, I had vegetarian with rice and delicious pork strips and egg roll.“

“We tried Kozy Kitchen while visiting Boston and it ended up being a really nice surprise. We ordered the beef noodle soup and xiao long bao, and both were seriously good, honestly better than a lot of places we’ve tried in Boston’s Chinatown. We’re visiting from New York, so we’re pretty picky about Chinese food, and this place definitely delivered. The location is also super convenient on the BU campus.“

“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.“

“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！“

“Really enjoyed this place! It’s conveniently located near BU and the restaurant is clean with quick service.
I ordered the braised beef rice roll and soy milk, and both were great. The beef was very tender and flavorful, pairing really well with the smooth and delicate rice roll. The sauce was well-balanced and not overly salty. The soy milk was rich and had that authentic taste, just like what you’d find in China.
Portions are solid and the price is reasonable for the area. Staff were friendly and the overall experience was great. Definitely worth trying if you're craving authentic Cantonese-style comfort food!“

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend“

“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.“

“The woman who took my order over the phone knew exactly who I was when I walked in. She was so nice! My beef chow fun was ready in 5 minutes and is so fresh. I had to try it as soon as I got to the car because the smell was intoxicating. The portion size is out of this world and has all the things a dry beef chow fun should—sliced white onions, green scallions, bean sprouts and of course, wok heiiiii. 😍 Will be back to try more of their offerings, especially the roasted duck that you can see hanging; the beautiful aroma filled the shop. The restaurant is cash-only and has plenty of booth style seating available. I liked the chill vibe in there and will eat inside next time.“

“I got General Tso’s chicken from here, and it’s easily the best I’ve ever had!

When I walked in, I was greeted very warmly by an employee, which is already a big plus. The place is super nice, bright and kind of bougie. It looked very clean overall. It was also really busy during dinner time.

I can’t wait to try their other dishes too. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some delicious Chinese food!“

“The food is absolutely amazing, so fresh. 2nd visit and will definitely be back. The staff is so pleasant and I can’t say enough about the foods we tried. Can’t wait to go again at try a few more items on the menu.“

“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.“

“My coworker introduced me to Wild Blossom several years ago when I worked in the area. The food & service is great and much more reasonable priced than some other local restaurants. I moved to out of state but will go there when I’m in town.
Best Chinese food around!“
