All of this with tax and tip was $30 which I thought was quite pricey for dim sums…so definitely bring 2-3 people to split dim sums with I liked the shui mai the best, it was plump and juicy and filled with bunch of shrimps and pork filling. Would definitely get that again. It was also the biggest shui mai I ever seen too. The chicken feet was objectively good too. I think it was at least 10 chicken feet for $9 which wasn’t too bad? I don’t know it was my first time trying chicken feet The thousand-year egg congee is the one I have issues with because it left such bitter taste in my mouth like so gross. Also the congee itself didn’t look quite clean and freshly made so I ended up eating only half of it. Also there is $1.50 dimsum charge that’s automatically added to your bill and I think that covers the tea. But the restrooms are super clean and the remodeled place is very spacious and nice so I would give this place another try but make sure to bring 2-3 ppl and avoid congee and order other stuff instead

Nice quiet ambience. This place served dim sum as well. Quite disappointed with the Hong Kong style Lobster, not the usual style I had before, do enjoy their salted fish fried rice..

This is a very small Chinese restaurant with only a few tables inside. The main business I guess is take out orders. There’s a big section of barbecue meats. It includes roast pig, barbecue pork, white chicken and barbecue ribs. I’ve tried everything except for the barbecue pork but I knew it’s good. The roast pig is the best. It has really crispy skin and all the meats are tasty. I always ordered barbecue meats on rice bento box which also includes Chinese greens. It’s 11.99 for 1 meat, 12.99 for 2 meats and 12.99 for 3. It’s really worth to order the 3 meats. Remember to ask for extra sauce on rice. I always return.

I heard their bbq was above average and so we came for late lunch and were seated right away. They have two small rooms and they sat us near the entrance so we were cold every time the door opened. The 2 way bbq rice plate with soy sauce chicken and roast pig with crispy skin was served cold - well room temperature but they are in the entrance area so it’s pretty cold. Portion was on the modest side and the chicken was a bit undercooked for my liking and I am accustomed to the Chinese style of doneness but this was too undercooked. The soy sauce chicken did not have the rich taste it should so not sure they are using a well seasoned master sauce. The roast pig was ok and had a good proportion of fat to lean but the skin was barely crispy and the taste was rather bland. Disappointing bbq. We also ordered spare ribs and bitter melon rice plate and despite the black bean sauce, it was also bland. The yee mein had a nice wok hay and reminded me of my grandmother’s noodles. Service is efficient and place is clean with cute decor. They have an extensive menu so maybe we will return and try other items. U bet they shine when you are with a large group and order family style.

We went to Victoria with some friends for dinner. It was REALLY cold outside so we sat in the back of the restaurant away from the window area. The restaurant serves very good Cantonese food. I was really happy to have a nice warm Chinese meal during our travels. Over-all, I was very happy with the food and service. Would I eat there again ? Yes ! The food was delicious.

We had preserved meat claypot, plus a squid dish with vegetables. The former was excellent, the latter very good but the squid was a little tough. The portions were huge! It's not a fancy place but it's very clean. It was pretty crowded and noisy. Service was excellent. We would return and we recommend it.

so clean, so many veggie, fish cake/tofu, and noodle options, quick and respectful staff service. the broth is on the saltier side but very warm and comfortable meal otherwise ~ more worth than regular hot pot in my opinion bc you can get what you want and how much you want. sauce bar was great with complimentary tea and water

Have gone a several times and has been amazing! Very good soup and ingredients you can choose yourself. The signature beef bone broth in medium spice is perfect. The sauce bar is also very nicely.

Food is decent. Decent portions for other foods. The claypot portions are a little small for the price. Excited to finally have some claypot closer than Chinatown. The claypot rice though, could have had more sauce. If you need more, don’t forget to ask for it they will give you extra. The rice rolls on the other hand are meh. Not really worth getting. Wish they had the Hk style.

Clay Pot Cafe is a Cantonese styled Clay Pot restaurant located near Super88 in Allston, expanding from its other store located in Boston's Chinatown. The staff are friendly. It does help if you speak Cantonese, but staff treat you the same if you speak to them in English as well. The food comes out quickly, and the place is cleanly. We got a wide range of clay pot dishes as well as vegetable dishes. The Clay Pot style was replicated very well here, and it tastes like traditional clay pot dishes found in Hong Kong or other enclaves. The price is good for the portion, and the meats were flavorful and went well with the clay pot rice.

It was a sunny Friday afternoon in February. We ordered a Sichuan spicy beef noodle soup and an order of soup dumplings. Both had excellent traditional Chinese flavor and flavorful sauces. Service included jasmine tea and a tall pitcher of ice water with real chopsticks and soup ladles. Service was polite and friendly. They even had White Rabbit candies for after dinner treats. Thumbs up all around.

My wife and I love their xiao long bao. We came here every week for a while and ordered it every time! It is the closest to Din Tai Fung in my mind. The noodle soup tasted average for a while last year, but it has improved recently. I have to say that the mapo tofu + stewed pork ribs they recommended me to try yesterday were so delicious! A big bowl of rice was finished in a short time, and I even wanted to eat more. I am glad that their chefs keep introducing new dishes, which are surprising.

We liked the seafood with crunchy noodles, it was great and a huge portion as pictured. The scallion dumplings for dim sum weren’t worth it. The pork buns were! Delicious. And then I got the sesame balls which I thought were delicious as well. Also good spot where we weren’t rushed at all and given tea to chat with

I've tried several Dim Sum places, and I think Hei La Moon is the best. Their shrimp dim sum is amazing—any kind! The braised pork dim sum is also fantastic. However, many of the dishes have a strong Chinese spice aroma, which might not be to everyone's taste if you're not used to these scents. On weekends, you can choose your dim sum from carts, which I find very easy and intuitive. One thing to note is that most of the employees don’t speak English. I was able to use a few simple Chinese words, which helped occasionally, so don't expect much in terms of friendly service. You can simply order dishes as you see them, without needing an explanation. It gets very crowded on weekends, so try to avoid peak times between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. If you go around these times, you might have to wait 30 minutes to an hour.

Amazing Chinese food place! I work in the shopping center and they know my order as soon as I walk in! Super friendly staff and very good food!

Went here for the lunch special $7.50. Menu on the wall says "Your choice of rice". Asked for chicken fried rice. Was told only pork fried rice included. Chicken was $1.50 extra. Had about 5 tiny strip of chicked. Awful food. Soup had strange flavor. Over $10 for lunch. Never again.

Wok n Tok is a great place for good, late-night, Asian fare. I’ve been before and find the prices to be fair for the portion size, too. The service for my order was friendly and I was grateful to not have to do fast food after arriving in town from an evening flight. I definitely recommend for take-out!

I had dinner here yesterday. Their food is top notch. My favorite dish is the Singapore Rice Noodles. I had never had it before and it was recommended to me by the owner. If you like curry, noodles, and Chinese food. Go here! I promise it is not only delicious, but the one plate you order will feed you and two other people. It is the most food I have ever seen in a single plate. It is filled with delicious chicken, shrimp, and pork. You must try it. You will not be disappointed.

It’s a great spot for Chinese food and some sushi as well. Super local spot, it’s a real IYKYK kind of place. Great cuisine, awesome environment with great drinks as well. They have 3 different seating areas, bar area, more quiet side with the sushi chefs or the main dining area.

Located in a weird spot next to a bridge and it's really hard to find parking if the spots in front of the restaurant are full. We did not order sushi. The Chinese food was mediocre and not that authentic in taste. The Mapo Tofu 麻婆豆腐 was the best one they made, but the taste wasn't really that strong. The dishes lacked in flavour but prices were good for portion size.

Food is good but parking is very difficult. The restaurant isn't crowded on a Friday night. I think it is because of the parking situation. We spent a good half an hour looking for parking and ended up parking somewhere a 8 minutes walk away. I advise people take public transportation or walk. Food was unique in their flavor of compared to other run of the mill Sichuan restaurants. Portions are huge and they make food tailored to your party's liking.

Good service. Excellent value. My death row meal is the double cooked bacon and garlic bak choy… seriously. Bone-in spicy chicken dish with potatoes but I understand that’s the style. Making this place a staple!

My first time coming here and it was such a good choice! They were so so nice and welcoming and the food was equally so so good! I think it will definitely be a favorite spot for my friends and I from now on!!

Solid budget hotpot with an old-school charm. One of my friends gets delivery from here religiously (at least twice a month), so I’ve tried a few custom bowls before finally stopping by for my own hotpot lunch. Unlike the newer Chinese hotpot spots that lean into the techy QR-code experience, this place does it the old-school way. Right by the entrance, there’s a toppings station where you grab everything yourself, and pay by weight. Honestly, I much prefer this setup. You get to eyeball the quality, pick and portion exactly how you want, and try more variety without overcommitting. The owner did warn me not to go over 1.5kg, but between all the fresh veggie toppings and solid protein selection—quail eggs, bacon, sausage, frozen pork and lamb—I couldn’t help myself and slightly overshot. No regrets. However, this place is definitely on the no-frills end of the spectrum. No fancy seafood like scallops or lobster, no DIY sauce bar, and only one broth option: a classic mala beef broth (you can choose the spice level, at least). The setup is more cafeteria-style—pick your toppings, pay at the counter, and the owner handles the rest. No mandatory service charges, just comfort food done right. Allston’s hotpot scene has gotten trendier and flashier in recent years, but I totally get why this spot remains one of my friend’s faithful go-tos. It’s definitely going on my own list for cozy and satisfying hotpot.
