“This review is based on my initial visit. Restaurant was clean, older furniture and decor that gave you a nostalgic feeling. I sat on the lounge side. The bartender Ming was a one man show. He did a good job managing all the orders from that side. Older crowd at the bar. Everyone appeared friendly. My chair was probably as old as I am. It was also very comfortable and relaxing. The one thing that really matters is the food! When try out new to me places, there are some staples that I get.Hot and Sour Soup was old school, had a very nice flavor with a kick to make your eyes water. Highly recommend!Egg Rolls are some of the best of the best. Traditional New England/Polynesian recipe that is heavy on celery and pork with a crispy outer layer. These are a must!Spareribs on the bone were meaty, tender while having a crisp on the outside, and full of flavor. Absolutely delicious!!Beef Teriyaki was moist, marinated throughout and very tasty. Very much recommend!Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was some of the darkest that I have had. The sauce was very much like the Lobster Sauce we grew up on. Had a very nice flavor to it. The Shrimp were only about 30 seconds overcooked but were still delicious. Also very much recommend this dish!For an old school place my only complaint was they didn't have hot tea. I don't think I got a Fortune cookie either. Overall it was a nice experience. Not a fancy night out, but good old school Chinese food in a happy atmosphere. Excited to try some of their other dishes.“

“This is my all time favorite restaurant for Chinese food I'll get it everytime. Never have been disappointed with their food. I recommend trying their salad it has this amazing dressing on top that can't be beat. I also believe that they have the best phad thai in my opinion compared to all others I have tried.“
“Easily the best and most authentic Chinese food in the area, or even broadly Massachusetts. Excellent high quality food at a price that is more than fair. Delicious, flavorful, always on time, with great staff who obviously care about their craft. I cannot recommend them enough.“
“We love the food here. Everything is wonderfully seasoned and carefully prepared. when we lived locally we got takeout from Lilac House at least once a month. we now live in New Hampshire and I make special trips to Millis just to get egg rolls, crab Rangoon, mooshi, fried rice, and ginger chicken with string beans. Everything I have eaten there is delicious!“
“I have always had great consistent food here. Small modern, casual Chinese and Japanese restaurant. Staff is always very friendly and you get service with a smile. I always start with their Hot and Sour Soup! They use a thick old school recipe that hits you with complex flavors, plenty of fillers like wood ear mushrooms, golden needle, pork and all the good stuff. It finishes with a strong kick that will clear your sinuses. Their Spareribs on the Bone are some of the best around. Definitely one of my favorites. Their Shrimp with Lobster Sauce has a delicious flavor to it. It has a little sweetness complemented with black beans. They switched to the smaller shrimp. I actually like this because you get one in every bite. Like a famous chocolate chip cookie. The shrimp are cooked perfectly are not rubbery at all. Love this dish! Wings are crispy and juicy! Beef Teriyaki is delicious! The Egg Rolls have a really nice flavor. The ingredients could be chopped a little finer. Their sushi is delicious! Today my daughter had a Sushi Taco! Very yummy! There's also conveniently an ice cream shop right next door if you have any room left. Highly recommend eating here!“
“I ordered delivery tonight. Basil Fried Rice, Wonton Soup, Moo Shu Beef, and Boneless Chicken Wings.9 minutes later, my doorbell rang. I looked at a man holding a brown bag and I had no idea what it was. I stared at him and said, "Westwood Jade?" He said, "yes". Seemed impossible to cook and deliver to food so quickly.....YET: the Basil Fried Rice had the most intense flavor I have ever had in a fried rice dish, the soup broth was flavorful and piping hot with plenty of wontons, the beef was perfectly cooked, tender and delicious and the best boneless wings you can imagine.Good Lord, the food was amazing, the speed of delivery was amazing and great value.“
“I ordered the egg toll, pork fried rice and the moo shi pork. Best egg roll I have ever had!!!! Rice wasn't great but not bad. The Moo shi was perfect, except they didn't send the sauce with it. Other than the missing item, very solid. Courteous order taking and delivery. I will order from here again.“
“I have been coming here I believe just 30 years now. This is beef chow foon noodles. Sorry I had some before I decided to take the picture because it tasted so good.. I highly recommend the crab rangoons the beef chalfoon the sizzling seafood platter and of course they're mai Tai s cocktails. Great TVs too if you want to watch our great Boston sports teams.Parking: It's on main Street so you have to find a parking spot but it's not a long walk if you have to look down the street.. in the winter when there are snow banks is only time that parking is probably really quite challenging but that is anywhere.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a wheelchair ramp on the side entrance.“
“I heard from a friend that this restaurant is quite tasty, so I tried it today and it tasted really good, very authentic, large portions. The restaurant was clean and tidy and the waiters were very nice. Will recommend to other friends next time too.“
“Never have I ever felt so chinese before in my entire life. Its as if god had this place sent down straight from heaven, giving me this opportunity to feel what its like to be chinese and what a great life is like. Out of every chinese restaurant, this place has left me ascending only because of a singular slurp of chicken lo mein.“
“I’m a CPA in the trenches of tax season right now, and this sesame chicken pork fried rice combo is bringing the right doses of euphoria melting away the stresses with every bite.Their pork to fried rice ratio is fantastic. Packed with good amount of pork chunks for that source of PROTEIN.Sesame chicken sauce is nice and tart. It’s like the restaurant version of Trader Joe’s orange chicken except it was made by an Asian family with love.I eat half and save the other half for later. Excellent portion size to price ratio. Panda Express has nothing on Cathay kitchen.All of this satisfies my hunger and craving for Chinese food, along with 200mg of caffeine from a can of Celsius is keeping me LOCKED IN to refuel and get TAXES DONE ON A SATURDAY! WOOO!!!“
“This place is fantastic!They are quick and also their food taste great! Reasonably priced as well.My new go to hole in the wall chinese food spot!- Accidentally went in 15 minutes before they opened and they took my order and made my food anyways! ????“
“I had a really nice time at Golden Abacus. We eat at it's neighbor, gyro and kebab frequently and I wanted to give it a shot. We were seated promptly and received our food quickly. We both got dinner combos and I really enjoyed the food. My husband and I both thought the amount of food was good value for money. I really enjoyed the food and so did other folks in the dining room. I heard one woman telling the waiter that she comes down from Jamaica plain for it and she'd brought her daughter to try it. Now, that's a rave! I am not sure I'd drive from JP for it but it was solid Chinese food. The parking lot for this set of businesses can be a little intense if it's busy, but it's usually fine. Also there is a psychic next door if you want to spice up your outing.“
“We have eaten here several times over the last few months and the service and food have been top notch. The beef teriyaki is the most tender I have ever had, and all of the pupu platter food is incredibly fresh. Also, the Mai Tais are great. What more could you ask for?“
“It was very quiet when I visited, I had been out and needed to get food and was craving Chinese food. I have many allergies, and they were very caring about what I ordered. Food was tasty and pentiful. Price was about average. Service was good.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my allergies.“
“It’s DEFINITELY a takeout-only place, but the food is PHENOMENAL, and I’ve tried multiple things on the menu. My only critique is the spring rolls have too much 5-spice. Otherwise, the service and food is amazing, they’re very accommodating, and they were SOOOOOO outstanding during covid. They fed us all and kept us feeling a little more normal during a hard time. I remember being told how to make a home remedy by the front desk person (I think he was the owner, or manager at least) and he told me why he kept an open jar on the counter with onions and other things in it , I hope he knows what customer this is. There was a different, younger man at the desk today, and he was VERY friendly and efficient as well. I’m watching my husband eating it now and he’s enjoying every bite. That’s what made me think to make a review. Thank you for being a great establishment“
“China Sky's fried chicken fingers are delicious. I went by someone elses review and was pleasantly surprised. Also got the house chow fun noodles and those were top tier as well. Dumplings were delicious but a little doughey, and I liked that. I will definately come back here again.“
“This is mainly a takeout restaurant. It does have a few tables though. My ratings are basically on the food. The staff inside were friendly. It had that real dark New England duck sauce. Egg Rolls are perfect! The Beef Teriyaki is absolutely delicious. Very tender and well marinated. Wings were well marinated and juicy. The Boneless Spareribs were tender, low fat and had a nice flavor. The Lobster Sauce was old school dark and delicious with plenty of pork, the right thickness and a nice flavoring. Pork Fried Rice was solid. Great place to grab food to go!“
“We had a lovely dinner. Excellent service- pleasant and efficient. Kept water glasses filled and paced our meal nicely. We got the Bo Bo Appetizer platter- lots of variety and all hot and delicious! The house fried rice was excellent- perfectly seasoned with lots of veggies and meats. Happly family was chock full of shrimp, steak, chicken and veggies in a delicious sauce. The sizzling seafood platter was beautifully presented with fresh scallops, shrimp, lobster and vegetables. The dining room was cozy with tables well spaced and lovely decor. Drinks and tea were great too! Yummy chocolate fortune cookies to end the meal!Parking: Easy parking right in front of the restaurant.“
“I have been ordering from here for many years. The husband and wife owners are very friendly. Sometimes a little hard to understand, but friendly. Mostly takeout but they do hae a dozen booths. I give them a 4 because they have one of the best Egg Rolls in the state. Generally their appetizers are really good. Great Beef Teriyaki, Crab Rangoon's, Chicken Wings, Boneless Spareribs, Peking Ravioli's, Pork Strips and their Hot and Sour Soup. Their entrées can be hit or miss. I usually add my own spices to get it where I want. The Egg Roll alone is worth stopping in.“
“This is our go to chinese food restaurant (take out only!). We have been ordering from here for at least 10 years, and honestly have never had a bad experience. This is american chinese food- but it is delicious! Some of our favorites are the dinner for one sesame chicken, boneless ribs, crab rangoon, and garlic shrimp.“
“I love the nostalgic vibe of this place. I wish they would go full tiki and deck out the bar with a Polynesian vibe but I digress. Reliable Chinese Cantonese cuisine in a relaxed and spacious environment. Don't make lounges and restaurants like this anymore. Always enjoy a visit when in town.“
“Food here is very good! We had the hot n' sour and wonton soups. Hot n' sour not all that spicy on this evening. I prefer spicier but it was delicious and packed with black mushrooms, etc. Egg rolls were good, boneless spare ribs were the strip type. They weren't bad but I like the meatier types. We also had the Ginjo fried rice which wasn't dark - I prefer a lighter style - and had big chunks of pork, shrimp and other ingredients. Fresh and good. Also we had the Singapore rice noodles. This was also very good. Light curry with snow peas, shrimp, etc. Overall a very good meal and we would definitely go back. They have an extensive sushi menu here but we didn't try it. Small but clean space.“
