A taste of Chinatown in Coolidge Corner I saw this place recently opened and stopped by with some friends for a weeknight dinner. We were welcomed and seated immediately. Everything exceeded our expectations; both the food and service were great! The menu is extensive and filled with regional sichuan dishes as well as more popular Chinese options. We ordered the fish filet with chopped chili, beer braised duck, mapo tofu, and wonton soup. Everything was flavorful and came out quickly. It's tough to pick, but our favorite was the fish, which was served on a sizzling platter and hugely sized. Everything was very reasonably priced. Our waitress and host were both friendly and helpful; we never had to ask for more water or napkins, etc. I recommend ordering things family style as intended due to the portion sizes and variety of options. If you're looking for a comfortable, authentic Chinese restaurant in Brookline, this is the place. I can't think of another like it in the neighborhood; it really felt like we were transported to Chinatown. Highly recommend - we'll be returning customers!

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere! The menu has a great variety of dishes. The staff goes above and beyond to be considerate and kind. Give this place a try — you won’t regret it. Definitely looking to come back to try other items on the menu!

The Sushi is the best I have had ! I have had all over the world! I always try something different and I always love it 😀😀😀😀😀

Delicious food, there is usually no wait and the service is excellent. He brought up our appetizer very fast being pork dumplings which were excellent and can’t go wrong with a lychee Martini. I recommend this place 10/10.

I enjoy their lunch takeout a lot. A friend from work and I have their lunch takeout out specials frequently and highly enjoy them. The sesame chicken is so tasty. Large portions and friendly staff always keep us coming back. I recommend having lunch or dinner here for sure.

We're on the hunt for a local hotpot spot so we don't have to trek all the way to Boston, and we found this place with some 🔥🔥🔥 food! The quality of the meat and seafood is on point, and they have a great menu selection that caters to everyone's taste. 🤤😋 To top it all off, the bill came to half of what we usually pay! #LocalEats #HotpotHeaven #FoodieParadise

Great service and quick, but the food wasn't even remotely close to my expectations. I ordered the scallion pancakes, and these were somewhat ok to eat. The chicken fingers, I sent back cause it smelled like it was cooked in engine oil. The chef's special spicy chicken tasted nothing like the description. It was sour and greasy topped with stale peanuts! The scorpion bowl was OK. Maybe, one can go here for the drinks but certainly the food could be much better or maybe I ordered the unpopular dishes. I'm visiting from California, so maybe my expectations were high. I can't tell for sure. I couldn't finish eating any of the food that I had ordered. The common trend I have observed is that the restaurants with too many items on the menu struggle to keep up with the quality of food. I hope the owner understands such reviews to improve the quality of the restaurant. No disrespect intended to anyone!

Very disappointed with eating here. The food was not up to standard i am use to. The spicy tofu comes with pork even though its under vegetable and not listed. It also doesnt come with white rice that is another charge.It also has no spice . Everything was liquid. I got sick after eating the food so i cant recommend

Ordered chicken and vegetables. No flavor was in a white sauce which was heavy on lard. Well that’s how my mouth feels 😞. I haven’t been here in years and the food was good but what a disappointment. I will not return. The chicken fingers were not fresh. Plus no smiles from the hostess. Should have seen that as a red flag. Wish I could have given a better review.

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.

The restaurant was clean and the staff was polite. I grabbed some food to go. The Singapore noodles were absolutely delicious! Flavors were on point, and there was a nice kick. I also really liked the flavors of the chicken wings. I usually don't review wings when I get them to go, but the flavors held up perfectly. The egg roll was perfect! The hot and sour soup was solid. Could use a dash of sesame oil. I would have given a five, but the teriyaki was very tough. It was a very thick cut of meat. You really needed a knife and fork to eat it. It also had just a sweet flavor to it. I know that it's a fusion restaurant. However, it would have been nice to see lobster sauce on the menu. That is a staple in Massachusetts. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely go back.

This is mainly a takeout restaurant. It does have a few tables though. My ratings are basically on the food. The staff inside were friendly. It had that real dark New England duck sauce. Egg Rolls are perfect! The Beef Teriyaki is absolutely delicious. Very tender and well marinated. Wings were well marinated and juicy. The Boneless Spareribs were tender, low fat and had a nice flavor. The Lobster Sauce was old school dark and delicious with plenty of pork, the right thickness and a nice flavoring. Pork Fried Rice was solid. Great place to grab food to go!

Food is consistent, amazing staff. I brought my 3 year old to pick up my order. One of the woman working made him feel comfortable as he was a little nervous, but he soon asked if we could eat the food there instead. So we sat down and started unpacking the food and the woman noticed us eating and brought over plates, silverware and anything else we needed, she was so nice and made us feel like we were at home. Imperial dragon in my opinion is the best Chinese food for the price in our area. I recommend it for its service, food, price, and how efficient they are.

The pork fried rice is good, but not good enough to make it the highest portion of the whole meal. Only pork fried rice I’ve ordered that has no veggies in it. The boneless ribs portion is pathetic. Rip off

Small takeout Chinese restaurant with a window to see the kitchen. This has been a go to for takeout when I'm in the area for many years. I grabbed a few items the other night. Egg Rolls, Beef Teriyaki and Chicken Wings. Their Chicken Wings use to be a favorite of mine. They were good but I feel as though the depth of the flavor is slipping a little. The Egg Rolls were very solid. They weren't celery base, but still had a nice flavor. Here is the killer part. The Beef Teriyaki was gray with a mushy coating that just tasted like vinegar. I actually didn't eat them which is very rare for me. I hate wasting money..

The food was good, but the woman possibly the owner, was very unprofessional. She spoke to customers in a rude manner and even called out a customer after they used the bathroom, accusing them of peeing on the floor. On top of that, she openly asked for a tip, which felt inappropriate.

This is what 30 bucks gets you!!! This is absolutely outrageous! I ate one crab rangoon 😭 The rice was mushy… it is literally half of the plate 😭 this is crazy asf the boneless spare ribs are dry as heck.

The best Asian food in the area. The service is always excellent, and the food is consistently delicious with a great variety to choose from. I highly recommend giving this lovely place a try.

Upscale but casual Chinese and Japanese restaurant located on route 16 in Wellesley at the Newton line. The staff is friendly and the decor is welcoming. I had oolong tea to drink. The presentation was pretty cool. They have a pretty extensive menu. I had items from the Chinese side for this visit. I started with the hot and sour soup. This was dark with a nice rich flavor that left a little kick on your lips. Plenty of fillers like golden needle, wood ear mushrooms, mushrooms, tofu and a few others. It tasted like they finish it with sesame oil and Chinese basil. The baby back ribs are the smaller ones, however these are perfect. They have a thin crisp around them with a juicy, tender and flavorful layer of meat that is absolutely delicious. One of the things that sets Jin's aside is the offer soup dumplings. These have a nice ball of pork and spices as well as soup inside the dumplings. I really love these. The last item I had was the prawns with minced beef and lobster sauce. This is a very old school of making this dish. The flavors were delicious and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. Overall had a great experience here. I very much recommend their food!

I'm honestly surprised by some of the lower reviews for this restaurant. I live in town and this is usually our go-to for Chinese food. Our go to dishes include beef and broccoli as well as shrimp and broccoli and they've always been pretty good. The serving size is good and the price is appropriate for what you get. We always do take out but so far we are pretty much always pleased.

Take out only. Not from the area but was craving Chinese food and bumped into this small place. Honestly, all was really good. Teriyaki steak, chicken fingers, boneless ribs - fantastic. Lean meat, tasted delicious. The rice is a bit plain but tasted very good. Not expensive either! Nice

We’ve dined here several times and absolutely love it. The food is so good and my partner says it’s the best kung pao he’s had in the area. We enjoy the peanut noodles and other chicken dishes as well.

Normally, the food is excellent. However, we ordered the whole Peking Duck for $69, and all we received was a mix of a reheated shredded thigh and skin mixture. We couldn't find any breast meat. See the picture. Having just returned from having had amazing Peking Duck in Singapore, this was a huge disappointment. There, and at Jiangnan in Boston, they bring the whole duck and carve it at your table. We do not believe we received a whole duck. When we complained, they said it was served differently. In the past, at this restaurant, the duck was served with large pieces of breast meat topped with crispy skin. But not this time. The skin and meat were fatty and salty. Note, we were at the restaurant early at 4. One previous time, we arrived early and also did not seem to receive a whole duck. It seems like early arrivers get shredded duck from the previous day. This said, everything else we had was excellent. My grandsons loved the teriyaki beef sticks, pot stickers, house fried rice, and the always superb jumbo shrimp in spicy Shanghai sauce. If we have the duck here again, we will ask to have the whole duck brought to our table where we will carve it ourselves.
