Lobster Wok
Trust me, I didn't expect much when I entered this small establishment. I'm literally slowly making my way around the "Chinese" spots around the area until I've tried them all. I wasn't expecting anything and definitely not expecting any form of "service" as it *is* a Chinese spot. Yet, she spoke to me. She reached out and conversed in a manner that only this culture could really explain. She wanted to know me and why I was even here in this area. One eyebrow up, I explained. Two eyebrows up, almost an hour later, I still explained. All I knew was that she welcomed me and wanted me to feel home. There was nothing else past that. It's just the culture. It's Chinatown outside Chinatown, and Chinatown outside China (and everything else associated with it). They take the time to purchase produce on behalf of their customers at close to cost price. They take the time to welcome people in. I'm one of them - out of place, out of the element - and she gave me almost an hour of her time. She even apologized for the "yellowness" of my order due to the time it sat there while we conversed BUT I simply told her I'd see her again. Her family welcomed me to Massachusetts. And moments later when I dug in to the food I brought home, I knew home was here. They served up some seriously legit Chinese influenced dishes. BEST PART? The posted menu is only a front. How do I know this? She read me and invited me shortly to the private chat group for the daily cuisine specials directed at those wanting to taste home. There is some legit culinary techniques here. I'd voyage more into it but I'll respect the secrecy of it all. Come with respect, explain a genuine intent to partake, and perhaps, you'd be invited to the ball of a lifetime. I know I am for one awaiting and ready for it. These guys *can* seriously cook.
General Gau was excellent, I wish I could say the same for everything else. I don’t know what the hell as in those Rangoons but they were inedible, boneless strips and pork in the rice were “funky”.
Spy C Cuisine
A great place for some noodles! This is probably the best tomato noodle soup I've had. The broth was robust and flavorful. The flavor also seeps into the noodles. The dan dan noodles are delicious too. The scallion pancakes stuffed with duck is a must try! I'll be returning to try more food. Would recommend!
Tried a variety of dishes here. Dry pepper chicken was good, but the chicken weren’t meaty. My favorite dish wash the mashed eggplant and pepper. Tried it 5 year ago and it’s still good! Just be careful if it’s you’re first time eating here, things can get a bit spy-c….
He's Cafe
Good place to get some good food. Their food is great. They have a wonderful lunch deal. Reasonably priced for lunch and dinner. I recommend getting their chicken egg rolls, the soups are delicious! Looking forward to my next visit.
I visited He's Cafe during their lunchtime hours. They offer quite affordable lunch-priced specials that you just don't find these days for a nice, hot meal. I got the General Tso's Chicken lunch special that came with my choice of hot and sour soup and an egg roll. The flavor of the sauce was tasty. My only comment is in regards to the breading on the chicken. I like that it remained crispy even with the sauce on it, but I just prefer it with a less thick breading. Other than that, it was a good experience and definitely a bang for you buck in today's economy!
