We really appreciate the food here and definitely will come back to try more on the menu. We had 2 kinds of dumplings which made in house and it is definitely one of the best dumpling I had in Boston area. I wish they have pan-fried version of gyoza though which will boost the flavor and texture. We also ordered ebi chilli and subuta. We love flavor which I dont think you can find in the area. They are really delicate with their dish. Their cocktail is also really good though. I would encourage people to come here and explore all the flavor. It’s a fun experience!!

Mimi’s Chuka Diner is a unique and delicious establishment, tucked away inside Aeronaut. I may be biased, but I’ve followed Mimi’s Chuka and its owner Ted since they initially started as a frozen gyoza delivery service during the pandemic. I am very happy to see them growing over the years, now with its own space. Of course, you have to try their original pork gyoza, but their other dishes are also worth exploring. The matzah ball and wonton soup is great for sharing (or just as an appetizer for one). I love the mabo tofu and ebi chili dishes, with a big side of white rice. The rotating drinks menu also is excellent and worth a try, blending Asian flavors like lychee, jasmine tea, shiso with spirits. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Mimi’s Chuka Diner inside the Aeronaut.

We were on our way back to our hotel from Porter Square and decided to eat before going inside for the evening. We found Zoe’s on Google and it felt like such a gift. It’s in a mostly residential area; however we did find parking after circling. I wasn’t familiar with the area (in the dark) and I was hungry :) so there may have been easier options. The food was absolutely scrumptious, fresh tasting and abundant. The spinach was so good, I ate the leftover with my breakfast the next day. Everything we ordered was tasty. The customer care was top tier. We felt extra special. I definitely highly recommend and intend to revisit. Thanks so much.

An unexpected Chinese food haven beyond Chinatown. In search of an authentic Chinese dining experience that sidesteps the usual hustle and bustle of Boston's Chinatown, my friends and I recently took a visit to Zoe's on a Friday evening. The place was buzzing—a generally promising sign — and we were able to find a table without a wait. Despite the lively atmosphere, the service was impressively swift and attentive. The prices, slightly more affordable than those in Chinatown, were an added bonus. We shared an array of entrees, starting with the Dry Diced Chicken. Encased in a crispy exterior, the fatty bits of chicken thigh brought a level of richness that made the dish enjoyable. House Special Fried Rice was a multi-protein extravaganza that featured shrimp, chicken, and pork. It was more buttery than typical fried rice dishes but oddly satisfying. As our meal progressed, we found the Shanghai Baby Bok Choy Toy to be a bit on the salty side. However, its lightness offered a much-needed palate cleanser, setting the stage for the heartier dishes that followed. Mao’s Home Style Pork lived up to its name by providing a comforting, homely flavor that perfectly rounded out the previous courses. However, the pinnacle of our meal had to be the Tea-Smoked Duck. Though it was seemingly dry, the meat inside was incredibly tender and juicy. Each bite confirmed that this was quite possibly one of the best duck dishes I've had in Boston, or anywhere else for that matter. Overall, our dinner at Zoe’s exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely come back to try the duck again and explore other popular dishes.

Honestly this place is not bad the food is pretty decent not your fancy stuff but if you need to get full & are craving some chines around the are this place is not bad at all. The rice was pretty good & the salt & pepper shrimp are great one of my favorite things to order. There’s only take out from what it looks like inside .. my only issue was the service, I had called ahead & the lady on the phone didn’t get my order right & so I had called again thinking she’s busy , but again there’s no understanding on what I wanted so I just asked for the shrimp & the rice with chicken. Overall not bad place just better to order in person next time for me.

this is your neighborhood chinese joint, nothing fancy but portions are good, food is good and service is good. I think they only do take out.

All good but $17 feels like more. But still good sesame chicken. Tastes good

Typical Chinese takeout spot with subpar food. Recently stumbled Upton this place while getting an ice cream nearby. From the outside, it looked okay, but the food overall was below that of standard Chinese takeout joints. The meat dishes, specifically the Spicy Salt & Pepper Pork Chop and Chicken Wings, were quite disappointing. Both appeared to be made from frozen meats, which resulted in a dry and unappetizing texture. The wings were particularly underwhelming, with brittle bones chopped at awkward angles. Its sharp edges and small bone fragments made it challenging to eat, and I ended up throwing out half of it. The rice dishes, the Beef Fried Rice and the House Special Fried Rice, were also mediocre at best. The rice texture in both dishes seemed off, likely due to the use of undercooked frozen rice, and the flavors were lackluster. Thankfully, some of their other protein dishes like the Egg Foo Young Shrimp and Mapo Tofu were decent. The Egg Foo Young, though not particularly fluffy, was somewhat redeemed by a savory Chinese gravy sauce. While Chow N Joy may suffice for a quick, no-frills Chinese meal, I would recommend going to Zoe’s nearby for a more quality Chinese food.
