Love this place so much--they're so good that my dad drove 2 hours out of state just so that visiting would overlap with getting takeout from here again. They have such a wide range and it's so, so good. We got the: 酸菜牛肉 - Sliced Beef & Pickled Cabbage and Chili and I can't stop thinking about it. I also usually get basically anything off the Szechuan Spicy Style section of the menu and I'm happy (especially the Sliced Chicken and Cabbage with Hot Chili Sauce). The dumplings are also very good, and hefty-- the meat feels wonderfully flavorful. Great place, love it a lot, figured I should leave a loving review.

sorry - just don't understand the high ratings. We had spring rolls - soggy fried cabbage, Gen Gao Chicken - dry with little flavor, Orange Beef - fatty meat/ not much flavor, and stir-fried calamari and Chinese celery - tough calamari strips and tentacles and lots of celery.

Our go-to for Chinese takeout. The sesame chicken, veggie fried rice, and dumplings are our favorites. Always friendly service when we pick up our food.

Dined in and was pleasantly surprised with how fast the service was! The food was spectactular, everything was freshly made, was well-seasoned, and came out piping hot. The fresh handmade noodles were the perfect chewy texture I was hoping for. The service was friendly, attentive, and warm. Would highly recommend dining in if you don’t mind the slight breeze from the door opening and closing from folks going in and out.

Ordered takeout. Food 3/10. Customer service was problematic. Extremely rude and impatient.
Bad, bad, extremely bad. I don’t want to give it a star. The attitude is very bad. I will never patronize it again in the future and will tell my friends not to patronize it.

Excellent for takeout! Fast, tasty, and very fair prices. We loved the hand pulled noodles (hot oil- delicious), general tso’s, and bok choy. Will definitely be going

Came here due to good reviews. They call the pictured “sweet and sour” chicken. I have to dip it in some nasty sauce. Chicken doesn’t taste crispy at all. Had to throw most food out. Don’t recommend this place!

As the hunt for the familiar continues, my list in Boston continues to slowly grow with fine additions that port me back to specific aspects of childhood. Some very directly, some of a windy nature, but all in all, they all lead back home one way or the other. Here at Home Taste, I found that to be of the latter. It isn't exactly the same as my childhood but the flavors lead in all the right directions. There is a slightly different preparation (as expected of regional differences) but it sure packs the flavors that you'd hope for when the name literally means "flavors of home" (obviously for those of some form of Chinese descent).From the first time to many visits after the move here, it has become a truly comforting spot whenever I am hungry. The menu is extensive (as expected) so I'm only starting to grasp the varied flavors they have to offer. Yet, so far, it has already become quite safe to say that their food is legit and their prices are really cheap for what they offer (especially in this area and considering the current inflation that continues to drive everything up so much). They seem best known for their hand pulled noodles that either are the standard wide/flat or thin/round that come with varied finishing preparations. What really stunned me was the noodles seared in hot chili oil. The amount of flavor, the chewiness of the noodles, the fragrance of raw minced garlic and acidic notes ported me back several decades back into an earlier childhood. It was so good that I had to come back again the next day for it. I really don't think I need to elaborate more.As for the service, they are actually remarkably friendly. Something you'd never expect from a Chinese place on average. They operate like a genuine mom-pop shop: gentle in the way they approach and speak, patient when explaining things (noticed this especially with the varied diners here), and never at any point rushing you to finish and get out. It's like you're REALLY welcome here and they just want to feed you and keep you warm.I have become a solid fan of this little casual diner and know that I'll always come back at least a few times a month to experience home flavors from a different angle.Parking: There are a few free to park for an hour spots in the back. Otherwise, it is metered until sundown or Sunday/Holidays.
