Bring two or more friends at noon on a Sunday. Take a number, wait for a table, gorge yourself on dim sum, and pay no more than $10/person.
The dim sum isn't nearly as greasy as other places (cough China, cough Pearl). Dim sum items are cooked to order so nothing has been sitting on a cart waiting to be pushed around.
Good dimsum lunch but dinner, not so much. Szechuan chicken (specials) was cold (precook) steam chicken w bottle sauce pour over it, served in 5 min after order. No hot steam, no thanks
It’s been 13 years since this French-Asian spot opened, but a meal here still delights. Get the garlic–black pepper lobster with lemongrass fried rice. Read more.
The sliced pork belly with fresh garlic is spicy pork fat heaven in a bowl. We sometimes just eat from the Sichuan appetizer menu. Don't say I didn't warn you when you crave it weekly.
WOW- welcome to the neighborhood Doowee & Rice! The flavor blend is so innovative & incredibly delicious. Try the Chimmichuri Chicken or the Bao Baos- you can't go wrong! So. Good.
Stay with the Szechwan dishes! My faves there: Bang Bang Chicken, pea shoots, steamed fish, Szechwan-style!
If you like periwinkles in black bean sauce, this is the best place to get it that I have found in Boston
This hot spot combines Chinese cooking w/ New England ingredients thanks to Chinese-American chef Phillip Tang. What 2 order:braised lamb cannelloni w/ chili garlic sauce, Honeycrisp apple & mizuna.
Ask for the crispy tofu from the vegetarian menu; small cubes of tofu are quick-fried and served with lemon, cilantro, and a generous helping of sriracha aioli. Eat!
I find this to be the best hot pot restaurant in all of Massachusetts. I've tried quite a few places, not too many but this place is a personal favorite. Appetizers and bubble teas are delightful!
Get the seafood and beef soft tofu soup for maximum umami thanks to mussels, manilla clams, head-on shrimp, and scrappy bits of tender beef.
It's by far the BEST THAI RESTAURANT in Boston. I dare you to try out their authentic PAD THAI. The restaurant has all the AUTHENTIC THAI FOOD you'd like. This ain't no "Panda Express" of Thai food
Authentic Japanese in South End! My favorite is Sunazuri, its so tender and juicy. Kama meshi is delicious too, just be aware that it takes ~20mins to be prepared. Try Zai kushi if its ur first time!
For hot pot: our critic recommends the black-bone chicken broth, broccoli, udon noodles and mushrooms or green-tea shrimp, chili beef stew...or even just sautéed shiitake mushrooms and greens

This romantic "Spanish Caribbean tapas" spot comes from a couple of architects, so the space is as beautiful as the menu. The owners got started throwing elaborate dinner parties. [Eater 38 Member]

Kibbeh here incorporates red lentils and crab, for wonderfully light patties topped with a green papaya salad and a green Israeli hot sauce called zhoug. And try the dim sum-style passed dishes.
