Clay Pot Cafe (旺角煲仔饭）

This small but mighty shop serves amazing piping hot clay pot rice, but with limited seating there may be a worthwhile wait. This spot is perfect for a relaxing meal on a cold day. Food: Clay pot rice is a very comforting dish and a great way to explore more unique Chinese foods. The clay pot rices we got had the perfect crispy sides that paired well with the more tender proteins that tops the rice. The flavors were on the mellow side but still flavorful, meaning you didn’t need to take breaks besides cooling down your next spoonful. My favorite part was so hot the dish stays as you continue to eat. Even 20 minutes after they were served, the rice was still piping hot! Service: It’s a small operation with 1-2 sweet ladies in the front serving and taking orders. They do their best to accommodate all customers to limit their wait times so sometimes you may end up saying a table with another small group. Atmosphere: This spot is cozy but can get a little hectic at times given the small space. This isn’t the type of place to enjoy a long drawn out meal. It’s a no fuss stop just looking to serve great food to as many people as they can.

This place is very small and has limited numbers of table. They serve clay pot rice with different toppings. The traditional Chinese sausage one is good but others can be a bit unflavored and require you to add pre soy sauce yourself. We added egg on one of the order and found the egg being overcooked. I can’t say they are awesome but I think out of what you can get from Boston, this is okay. The waitress reminded us about paying tips at the end, which I thought it’s a bit rude.

Small shop with limited space, but the food is worth it!!! We had a sausage and abalone clay pot, a dark chicken herbal soup, and an eggplant dish. All tasted great except the chicken in the soup, which was dry and tough. Service was great and price was reasonable. Highly recommend!

We ordered several dishes for 3 of us... medium eel clay pot rice, small chicken and mushroom clay pot rice, beef in clay pot, and a vegetable dish. Great flavor. Eel, chicken, vegetables, and beef are all good. I feel the clay pot is mostly rice with not enough protein for the price. The place is really small and packed.

A snug and cozy spot serving traditional Cantonese clay pot rice. Expect a bit of a wait for the rice (around 30 minutes), but the crispy texture and fragrant taste of the dish is well worth it. Other dishes like the lamb casserole and vegetables all deliver that comforting, home-cooked feel. Overall, a great stop for some comforting Cantonese food.
