Omg the salt n pepper crispy chicken appetizer which is essentially popcorn chicken is amaze balls! That was the star of the meal for me and five stars for that dish. Couldn't stop eating it but had to stop so we could eat all the other food too!! We ordered through Grubhub for delivery on Friday night and order came reasonably quickly per the estimated time. We've ordered from here before and liked all the food and prices are okay too. For appetizers- scallion pancakes were good, Salt n pepper chicken- fabulous, steamed pork dumplings- hubs' fave, and hot n sour soup which was good. For entrees- the sichuan kung pao chicken was not quite as expected- was a bit too sweet for me and also had these extra veggies that are not typical - like carrots and tomatoes- not the typical kung pao chicken which usually has green bell peppers and peanuts. Otherwise chicken was tender and I'm not complaining- it's just not what I expected- having had many a great kung pao chicken including some homemade ones. The MaPo tofu and sautéed green string beans and pork fried rice were good. Overall good meal and will order again from their extensive menu!

If you need a spot for that sichuan spice that won't break the bank...this is it. They have a lunch special where you can choose 3 dishes (comes with a soup of the day and rice) for $33. Or...one plate for $12. Service is alright...but food was good. The price is good for dine in only of course.

I'd been to the Central Square location before, but this was my first time at the Chinatown one. The menu has a bunch of options, both more authentic, as well as American Chinese type dishes. I went with the Lamb Cumin Style, which was delicious. My friend enjoyed her General Tso's Chicken. No complaints on the ambiance, the restaurant seemed a bit cleaner than some other spots in the area. However, the service could have been a bit better. There was something in my friend's food and they replaced it, but didn't apologize, let alone comp it. That being said, I won't hold it against them, hoping it was just a one-time incident.

This location is in Chinatown Boston. The location is in a corner very easy to find, but not that easy for parking. The atmosphere was kinda unusual because the restaurant has two levels and is kinda small. We were directed upstairs and a server greeted us and showed is our table. The food was very good and fresh, we had lo-mein, rice and salt and pepper shrimp. I expected the fried rice to be much better but, it wasn't bad. The other two dishes were really good. If you are craving some Chinese food and are in the area, this would be a good choice.
