“The dumplings and noodle dishes are soooo good -- super fresh and served piping hot and super juicy and flavorful. That being said, the seating situation is stressful. There are a few tables but no table service -- you order everything through a kiosk and then grab it once the number on your receipt is called. So every time someone begins packing up, others immediately jump in to grab the table because otherwise you'll get your food and have no where to sit. This is definitely not a great spot for a relaxed meal because you will be expected to leave as soon as you finish and probably won't be able to get a table without being competitive and on it as soon as someone else starts packing up. I highly recommend the food here, but either for take-out or to get when it's not a regular meal time and therefore crowded.“
“We love Tama. My family orders take out here once a week, and they are consistently delicious. The pork pan fried dumpling, edamame, spicy salmon roll and classic and spicy ramen are our go to. But we have tried some other items, and everything is delicious. We are so happy Tama opened close to our house. There really aren't any decent restaurants in the Milton area, so we lucked out with this one. I highly recommend eating in, or getting take out. It's very clean and always friendly.“
“At only 7 months young, this was a delicious treat. The service was very attentive and food fresh. So fresh and delicious that we forgot to take a pictures of all the dishes. The salt and pepper squid was perfect and not spicy at all, peanut and pork dumplings delicious, and sizzling steak flavorful.We would be back if we lived closer.“
“Every time I visit Boston this is one of my go to places in Chinatown! Love their dumplings, they are made to order. The service is quick. There is little to no sitting in this food hall, so it's a quick grab and go kinda place unless there's room on the the little tables. They accept credit cards.“
“This is among the better dim sum places I've been to in the US. The seating reminds me very much of a smaller street-level restaurant you'd find in Hong Kong; it's not the best furnished nor the most comfortable. But the food easily makes up for that.The usual dishes are done quite well, especially the deep fried pork dumpling. I also recommend trying their fried turnip cakes, as it's something I haven't seen in other places and was pretty good. The flavor of their milk tea was on point but I would prefer something slightly stronger.The price was higher than what I'd expect at this kind of place, but it was consistent with other meals I had in Boston at around $25 per person.You'll probably have an easier time with service if you speak Cantonese or come with someone who can. Whatever the case, the food is good and worth a stop.“
“Made an order of tofu and mushroom as well as shrimp. We were out of the delivery zone (make sure to check!) but able to coordinate via email a time to meet with them at the kitchen and pick up, which we really appreciated!The dumplings were absolutely perfect. Stuffed generously, beautifully pleated, and delicious. Dumplings were in separate trays so no confusion for vegetarians. They were the first food to go at our party and I would highly recommend Yang’s to everyone!“
“General thoughts: Great authentic Dim SumCons: Cash onlyWhen this place opened, i remember the food being good with very cheap prices.Since then, this place has exploded in popularity, and food prices have increased... But i also think the food/menu has gotten better as well. They've even added vegan dim sum items, which aren't just steamed vegetables.Wish they would bring water to tables and accept credit card - but otherwise, no complaints. Another great restaurant in Quincy, glad to see this place thriving.“
“The inside of the restaurant is nice and welcoming. The staff are very friendly as well! I’ve ordered takeout from here 4 times now and honestly it’s become my exclusive go to and somewhere I consistently recommend to others.The food tastes just like the Chinese food I had as a kid in Europe that was fresh, authentic, and simply delicious. The egg fried rice (ask for no soy sauce), the volcano chicken, and the chicken in black bean sauce are no brainers (as in delicious and generous portions). The peking ravioli (only had steamed) is one of the better ones I’ve had in the Boston area too! Service is fast as well. Tasty, authentic, great portion size and service - what more can you ask for?“
“Cilantros is a great Chinese restaurant! You should definitely come here for lunch! The portions are a little bit on the smaller side, but the service is really good and the food taste really good. I highly recommend the shrimp with coconut sauce. The seating area is nice, but it doesn’t look anything to fancy. It’s just a good Chinese restaurant with good food, pretty casual.“
“We are in Boston for an academic competition for our sons and we are only here for a night. All of us were ready for a good meal after a 3.5 hr drive up. We decided to hit China Town and because we were all in for dim sum, I picked Windsor. BEST DECISION of the day. The food is so fresh, delicious, and the service was just as good. We loved it! We ordered a bunch of dim sum and fried rice; beef and pork. The best fried rice we have had in a while! The rice was cooked to perfection and the fried rice was made so well. If we visit Boston again, we will return to this place. The ambiance isn’t much, just a bunch of tables and some shared tables as most dim sum places do.“
“Just came here yesterday so here's the COVID break-down: - When you walk in, you'll immediately see 4 tables set somewhat apart, but still a bit too close in my opinion. - The right side of the restaurant has an entrance that opens up to an area that is much larger and definitely worth boasting about. Not only were the tables set apart from each other, they had these very impressive tall and transparent separators set up between every table. - As you can expect, there are no carts. You scan a QR code for the menu (or just go to their website for the menu). - All of the staff were wearing a mask. For drinks they only offered three options: Bottled water, hot jasmine tea, or home-made soymilk. The home-made soymilk was delicious. They asked me how much sugar I wanted in it. I usually don't like mine super sweet so that was nice of them to ask. The 5 things my friend and I ordered are listed below from most favorite to least favorite: - #27 Steamed B.B.Q Pork Bun 蒸伹燒包 - The filling had a really authentic cha shao flavor! They also didn't cheap out on the amount of the filling. - #18 Steamed Tofu Roll w/ Minced Pork 蠔皇鮮竹卷 - I really liked the texture of the tofu roll and the filling was full of flavor. - #36 Rice Noodle w/ Chicken & Shiitake Mushrooms 雞絲腸粉 - I didn't think the flavor of the the chicken and shiitake mushrooms was very prominent, but honestly I love rice noodle rolls so I'd definitely get this again (maybe just with shrimp instead). - #24 Steamed Spareribs w/ Black Bean Sauce 䋬汁蒸排骨 - This was a bit of a miss in my opinion. The pork just wasn't as tender as they should have been. - #25 Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf 迷你珍珠雞 - This is a hard pass for the future. In my opinion, sticky rice should taste simple, yet fragrant. Instead, there was a foul flavor with every bite. Not sure what it was. Could even just be my preference in taste doesn't match with the flavor. Meh, who knows. It's really a pity because this was the item I looked forward to the most. It took awhile for us to get our order taken and it took awhile for us to get our check. Regardless, the server was really nice. I could tell she was really busy and the place seemed severely understaffed. However, once we ordered, the food came out immediately - so that's a plus. You can make me wait on many things, but don't make me wait on food, hah!“
“Come here for dim sum and you won't be disappointed. Came as a group of twelve on a Sunday, and as soon as we sat down, we were hounded by waiters with food. It helps to have a Chinese speaker in your group, but it's not impossible without one.For the more popular dishes like Shrimp Chang-Fen, there was a bit of a wait, but not too long. Everything was delicious, but I had been craving the Xi Mi Lu (sago dessert), which really hit the spot.“
“In the vibrant heart of Boston's Chinatown, the Empire Garden Restaurant stands not only as a culinary landmark, but also as a breathtaking visual experience. Located in a building that once housed a theater, the Empire Garden's setting is filled with a majesty that captures the imagination. Upon entering the restaurant, you are immediately transported to another world, thanks to the water colors and impressive architecture that adorn the space, creating an almost unreal atmosphere - in a good way, of course.The Empire Garden's fame is no mystery among the local Chinese community; it is considered a sort of mecca, especially on Sunday mornings, when the atmosphere is charged with an almost spiritual energy. Tradition blends with conviviality, transforming a simple meal into an event not to be missed.As for food, Empire Garden offers a menu that reflects traditional Chinese cuisine with a variety and depth that is difficult to find in smaller Chinese restaurants. However, despite the wide range of unique dishes, the flavors tend to fall into a "too average" range, perhaps a compromise to suit a wider audience. This aspect may not strike the palate of the gourmet looking for exceptional flavors, but it is still adequate for those who want to enjoy a good meal in an extraordinary context.Ultimately, the Empire Garden Restaurant is much more than just a place to eat; it is an experience that involves all the senses. While the dishes may not be the most extraordinary you have ever tasted, the overall experience, amplified by the unique setting and rich history of the venue, makes a visit to this restaurant an unforgettable moment. If you find yourself in Boston and are looking for an experience that goes beyond the simple act of eating, the Empire Garden is the place where the eyes, as much as the palate, will have something to feast on.Kid-friendliness: Ample space for children, children with parents, groups of teenagers or entire complete classes.“
“First time eating here, and overall it was a good experience. The food was pretty tasty, although the scallops were a bit overcooked. The kobe beef potstickers were delicious, and ultimately, the chocolate chow mein dessert was incredible.It was definitely a spot I'd likely come back to if I visit again, I appreciated that it was accommodating for small kids (separate door to enter in, high chairs, and friendly staff).“
“This is one of my favorite dim sum restaurants purely because they serve dim sum at all times. No need to worry about timing - if you're craving it, you can go get it. The portions are generous and are noticeably less greasy, so I never have that heavy feeling that I sometimes get from other places.“
“Very large dining space and doesn’t feel over crowded.Chicken feet, lack flavor and not fried enough for the wrinkly fall-of-the-bone effect.Shrimp hagow, the skin broke when I tried to pick it up with my chopsticks.Satay beef tripe, gamey.Tomato sauce and cream fried rice, good.Rice rolls, too soft.Stir fried beef hofun, lacked wok qi and flavor.Fish stomach chives, chives were though.Osmanthus jelly, mild flavor.“
“I went to this spot last night after work. I had the salt & pepper shrimp, Pea Pod stems with garlic & white rice. The portion size is hugh & the price compare to portions size is great. I live in Dorchester & normally get chinese take out there but having coming here once for my birthday lunch, I quickly found out that he portion size is hugh. The food has such a great taste. I love getting the Pea Pod stems with garlic sauce at most chinese restaurants. This restaurant gives me a hugh portion and it's good. It's worth driven from Dorchester to Quincy for this restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant. You will get your money worth!!Vegetarian options: I can't say enough about the Pea Pod stem with garlic. You will absolutely love that veg. with any type of rice.“
“A smaller dimsum place but you'll find all the must-do staples here. No push cart worth of food circling the dining area as it's restricted by the City. But you order using their photo menu. Food comes out really quick and accurate. I like most of their staples but I think Ming's (next to 99Ranch) does a better job with their Ha-Gow.“
