“I was looking for a new place with gluten free food after our usual place changed hands and went down in quality. We drove here all the way from Roslindale to order takeout because I wanted to be sure they understood how important it was to us . My daughter has Celiac and it was her birthday and she wanted Chinese.The owner took our order and we had a great conversation about the menu and her plans to add more gluten free items as they continually test them. The gluten free dumplings are OUTSTANDING!! We wished we ordered more ! My daughter had Crab Rangoon for the first time in her life. Her college friends were obsessed with them and she could never join in so she really enjoyed them! They were delicious! Nobody does chicken wings because they require a dedicated fryer . This place has them . I think they could be better . They have a coating on them that we didn't love . They aren't like typical wings but they were ok. We also got a noodle dish that was good . We didn't get rice but definitely would next time after talking to tho owner about the rice . She really has a passion for the food she is serving.I would definitely go back to eat in. The staff was pleasant and the restaurant is really pretty and relaxing. My daughter with celiac who doesn't typically like eating in said she would feel comfortable going back to eat in ... 10/10“

“Wanted to try their lunch specials. The portions were very large and reasonably priced. You get only white rice and soup with your Entree. Portions are big enough to share. Big choice of classic Chinese food. You would need to order appetizers extra if you want it. Fried rice is on the dinner menu, but lunch is only white rice. Dinner portions are large enough to share. Next time we will order one dinner entree, one order fried rice or lo-mein, and one appetizer about the same price as 2 lunches.“

“Highly recommend for hand pulled noodles(the name is a pretty hard giveaway). The bouncy texture and flavorful soup options are what you’ll want on a cold rain day or after a good workout. I would order the vegetable dumplings and vegetable mala pot or just pot, if spicy food is not for you (for any vegetarians and everyone) to try.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at P.F. Chang’s. The food was excellent and served quickly, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Our server, Amelia, was outstanding! She was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Her service truly elevated the experience. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“I often Travel to China and very picky with Chinese food. Hippo kitchen is the best Chinese restaurant I tried in MA. Authentic. My fav dish is “husband and wife lung slices. 夫妻肺片 (fūqī fèi piàn), often translated as “Husband and Wife Sliced Meat” — a famous Sichuan cold appetizer. Despite the literal translation meaning “husband and wife lung slices,” it typically doesn’t include lung. Here’s a quick overview:
What It Is:
A spicy, numbing, and flavorful cold dish made with thinly sliced beef, often including:
• Beef tongue, tripe, and sometimes heart
• Tossed in a bold Sichuan-style chili oil sauce with garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, crushed peanuts, cilantro, and Sichuan peppercorns“

“We order the fresh hand-pulled noodles all the time here – it’s probably our favorite takeout in the neighborhood. Always absolutely delicious – I particularly like the ones with fermented spicy chili paste. They have cleaned up the restaurant a bit since the dark days of Covid, so it’s actually pleasant to eat in. But there’s nothing like leftover noodles in the fridge for a delicious snack…“

“I was not impressed. Boneless spareribs were way too sticky and some were burnt. Like other restaurants now there prices have gone up a bit much. Also they are bit off Rte 9 and I think there are other places that are of better quality. I would only give this 3 stars.“

“The hand pulled noodles are amazing! Very authentic and fresh.
I recommend the N3. Spicy Hot Oil Seared Noodles. This was one of the best hand pulled noodles I've had. 11/10.
The Kung Pao Chicken came with either white rice or fried rice and a soup (we chose egg drop soup). There were more veggies than shrimp, and although the shrimp was good the veggies were a bit hard.
Regardless, definitely a great authentic restaurant for hand pulled noodles.“

“Opens at 10pm and I was hungry and food was amazingly delicious
I ordered hot and sour soup, shrimp fried rice, beef and broccoli.
I would say these foods were way over than the existing expectation.
I would visit to order different food next time. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious and reasonably priced! The high was the gluten free menu which made it simple to know exactly what I could eat (they also have gluten free soy sauce). Waitress answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable eating there with celiac disease!“

“I had ordered the Mango Pomelo Sago Nectar (with boba) and Red-Braised Pork Belly. The drink was good not-too sweet and went down pretty easily. The pork belly was cooked perfectly. The fat was soft and melted in my mouth! The founder also sells inkwork based on places she had visited and I saw one that was Star Wars themed.
I visited the shop at around 3 pm so it wasn't super busy, the staff are friendly, and the vibes were great! The interior is colorful and there were plenty of comfy seats.“

“Food was amazing came with so much even for the pricing I thought it was appropriate. Left full and did not leave any and customer service was so good kind and took care of us very well my water was always full I’m surprised this place isn’t packed 100% recommend“

“I ordered two dishes and both had mild flavors that weren’t overpowering, making them enjoyable for anyone. I tried the Mapo Tofu and the thick noodles served with bok choy in a slightly spicy and tangy sauce. The noodles seemed to be handmade and had a great chewy texture. Even though I’m sensitive to strong spices and usually can’t handle heavily seasoned Chinese food, everything here suited me really well. I would recommend this place to anyone who prefers clean and well-balanced flavors.“

“I came here with my family and got to try a lot of things! Most dishes were above average. The salt and pepper calamari was particularly good, so we would definitely try more salt and pepper dishes next time. The Sichuan boiled fish fillet was also good.
The lobster with vermicelli was pretty tasty, but we would want to try the ginger scallion lobster next time for the bolder flavors. We were also sitting next to the lobster/fish tank, and it didn't seem that clean..
The dungeness crab with sticky rice was quite bland, unfortunately. The shrimp with snow peas was decent but nothing special.
Overall we would probably choose items that have stronger flavors next time. The menu is huge, so there's a lot left to try!“

“I've now eaten here in person and called for delivery - the food and service is amazing! We ordered from the Chinese appetizers, entrees, and sides and were very impressed with the food quality and consistency. They were able to deliver to our address promptly - the food was still hot! The service in person was equally great. Highly recommend!“
“This place is great authentic Chinese food! You can tell they take pride in there food! I came up from SC to visit my parents and wanted to try this place because of the great reviews. This is my parents new favorite Chinese place for sure. Thanks, yall!“

“We went there Saturday afternoon. I ordered my usual, Chicken Subgum Chow Mein and boneless spareribs. The waitress was very nice but limited in the English language. Therein was part of the problem. I did not get what I would consider my usual. It looked like Chop Suey . Not what I am used to. I sent it back and received pretty much the same thing on the second try. The boneless spare ribs were very fatty and not like the ribs I received on prior visits. Also the Duck Sauce seemed to be "watered down" with very little taste. All in all it wasn't a pleasant experience this time. Hopefully it will be better next time.“

“Chicken lo mein is mid, but the scallion pancakes are fresh and crispy, and Rick serves a stiff SB, but
I love this place for more than its good and reasonably priced fare. There’s a certain curb appeal that comes from having no windows that more modern establishments are still struggling to grasp. Rick is the most gracious host/server/bartender, and I welcome any additional business in his direction even if it’s just to hear his genuine, “You’re welcome,” each and every time you politely thank him for something. It’s fun to go for some drinks with a few friends when it’s dead, and fun to go to celebrate your birthday when it’s popping. Give it a whirl!“

“While searching for a good Chinese restaurant nearby, we came across Westwood Jade in Westwood, MA, and it did not disappoint! The food, prices, and service were all excellent. The pork fried rice was perfectly cooked, soft with no hard grains; chicken wings were tender and flavorful; ribs were just right—not chewy or hard; and the chicken lo mein was saucy, loaded with chicken, and not overly sweet. The crab rangoons were crispy, warm, and had the perfect filling.
They even included all the essentials—plates, utensils, napkins, sauces, fortune cookies, and hot sauce. Everything was spot on. 10/10 experience — thank you, and God bless!“

“This is our go to in the area. I’m not sure if there’s new management or not this last few years or so, but something happened and now the food is magical. There’s a small indoor eating area, but I’ve observed maybe a handful of folks use it in the last 5 years or so. I have seen 10 simultaneous pick up orders crowd the front desk though.“

“I come here every couple months when visiting, and they know how to do chinese takeout right. Their crab rangoons are some of the best (even better than some of the thai restaurants I like), the chicken fingers are always crispy and hot, and the chow fun noodles are always great. I was surprised with the lower rating but I guess you just can't make everyone happy.“

“I’ve been living in Framingham for three years and yesterday I was hungry for Chinese food. Haven’t found any that I really really like in the area so I googled. I found this Restaurant called Star on Waverly Street.
I did not get a very big order, but I truly enjoyed all of it. The beef with scallions reminded me of my childhood and going to South Pacific in Newton.
All of the appetizers were good. I’m looking forward to going back and trying many of your dishes.“

“Updating my review:
Came back to my favorite Chinese restaurant. We ordered our usuals: West Lake beef soup, bok choy, and Yang Chow fried rice. But this time, we tried the sizzling steak with black pepper sauce. The steak was super tender, but the sauce was bland. We also ordered the double-cooked pork. This was good but not what I expected. It wasn't made of pork belly and scallions. The sauce was bland and it was not spicy and mostly cabbage. The prices had gone up, and the portions seemed smaller, although the service remains good.
Joyful Garden Chinese restaurant is indeed joyful! We were seated quickly with a pot of tea. Service was friendly, and food came out rather promptly. We started with West Lake beef soup and it was amazing! Light and delicious, I must say it’s my favorite soup.
Then, we shared an order of salt and pepper shrimp and calamari, bok choy, and Yang chow fried rice; everything was delicious! But the highlight was the pan-fried flounder; I just couldn’t get enough of it, just quite pricey for $40.95 market price. Plenty of parking and a much better option than going to Boston. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Always delivery, they are always on time & hot food. I only wish they were a full service restaurant. The crabragoons best EVER ♥️ loaded with delicate cheese & best delicate flakey wrap & cooked to perfection VS rubbery & chewy or unsightly like other places that look like plucked chicken skin sadly & with hardly any only skimpy delightful filling. The duck sauce is delicious of apple fruit notes. The vegetable springrolls are delicate & made homemade in house & are delicious, tender & in a delicate delicious flaky wrap full of delicate seasoned perfectly cabbage mostly. I called them to compliment & to say thank you for their great food & consistency of service however after saying that compliment, the woman hung up on me sadly before I could strongly suggest to please add thin sliver carrots & tiny broccoli floret bits to their delectable springrolls for nutricious delicious perfection. I do highly recommend patroning as overall their food is delicious & service consistently reliable. Enjoy !!!!!♥️“

“A hidden gem that opened last year and now our weekly go-to for Japanese - sashimi, sushi, ramen and poke bowls. The staff is very friendly and the owner, Anna, makes you feel so at home. The sashimi/sushi are fresh, delicious and prepared beautifully. The cocktails are creative and well made - mai tais, pistachio martinis, you name it. The kids (and adults) enjoy various fruit teas/slushees with optional boba. They also offer Chinese and Thai food on the menu. Staples like beef teriyaki sticks, sichuan fried rice or tangerine beef are must haves and often added to our meals with lots of leftovers to go home with. Highly recommend Wasabi Asian Bistro&Bar to anyone looking for great Asian food.“

“I moved to this area after being spoiled with the great Chinese restaurants in the Newton/Boston area and having lived in San Francisco for many years with their amazing Asian foods so I was a little skeptical of finding a good place here in Westwood. But this place not only met my expectations but far exceeded them. They do an amazing job with all the basics like lo mien, fried rice and dumplings and their food is consistently fresh and delicious. I’ve never been disappointed and I am definitely a regular. Thank you, folks.“

“Once in a while I have a craving from my childhood and thats' bitter melon and because no one else in my family will eat this, I go to Dumpling House. I have it as a stir fried dish with a protein. It is delicious, slightly different to how I had it growing up (we had it with black bean sauce). But this is just as delicious, not as bitter (slightly sweet) and not garlicky at all. It certainly satisfies my craving. Only negative is that it doesn't come with rice and one has to order that separately. Service is efficient, friendly and timely. I'll continue to come back again!“

“Stopped in randomly. Visually didnt look too inspiring. Food was all really good though. Fried rice was delish. Curry chicken was awesome. Schezuan tofu was great. Wonton soup was a hit. Crab Rangoon was as expected. Only complaint fried wontons were weirdly hard. And fair price.“

“Great little takeout place! Food is delicious and the owners are so kind and caring. You can see when people care about their product.
