Hanto Restaurant

In 30 some years of eating at Chinese restaurants, this is the first that makes it easy for non Chinese speaking people to order authentic Chinese food. I strongly recommend the dry cauliflower with garlic. I know, who goes to Chinese restaurants to eat cauliflower? But it is one of the best dishes.

Restaurant has a clean inviting atmosphere. Dining area is set separately from the bar and has cool lighting without windows to create a relaxed atmosphere. My waitress was very friendly, and she did a great job. The menu has New England style Chinese food, it is heavy with authentic original dishes and they also have some Japanese. Started with a hot and sour soup. It had nice complex flavors, the right thickness and the heat you would expect from an authentic restaurant. It was delicious. American Chinese pork fried rice and shrimp with lobster sauce were definitely on point. Rice was full of pork giving it a great flavor. A little egg and it would be perfect, absolutely no complaints though. Shrimp with lobster sauce was also nicely done. The shrimp were fresh and cooked right so they were tender. They do a nice job on the lobster sauce creating flavors without a ton of sodium. My two favorite dishes were off the authentic side. Crispy rice with mixed mushrooms. Amazing dish! Picture what looks like a bunch of rice crispy squares, covered in different mushrooms and a few other veggies in a bowl. My waitress poured a boiling broth over it when served. The rice in little chunks with crispy pieces was divine. For dessert I had the crispy milk curd. These little fingers of deliciousness were crispy on the outside with a warm, lightly sweet, custard style filling. So good! Definitely worth checking it out!

Good authentic Chinese dishes Good service. In a large lot, easy parking. I did not have a chance to try Sushi or Poke Bowl (yes they are on the menu) -- no comment about them yet.

This is the most authentic Chinese food I’ve ever had in the Boston area so far. A new chef was hired from Sichuan recently and the menu has been updated with many new specialties added. Some of them even taste better than the ones I had in China. The manager is also super nice and gave us additional desserts. Would love to go here again and strongly recommend it for people interested in authentic Chinese food!

Blend of western Chinese, Japanese, and authentic Chinese food, so you can take your pick or take adventure! Great service, hostess was super kind to give additional drink items and white rice on the house. Place is clean and very spacious.
