I’ve been to Nan Xiang in NYC and felt like this express is definitely worth visiting. Of course it was more fast casual, but the food was still good. Braised Beef Noodle Soup is a must try. Comes with lots of beef and is a lot of food. I was also very happy with the Spicy Beef Soup Dumplings. They had a nice texture, none of them had popped and the beef had a lot of flavor. They were actually fairly spicy, which I wasn’t expecting but I was happy about that. There is a kiosk you can order yourself, or order at the front. Limited seating inside so that can be a challenge depending on the time of day.

Perfect spot for a quick and satisfying dumpling and noodle fix. Noticed this NY-based chain expanding across East Coast cities but never got around to trying it until recently. After ordering it as a late-night snack, I immediately wished I’d discovered it sooner. I’ve ordered twice so far, and every dish I tried has been packed with flavor. The quality was way better than that of typical takeout Chinese restaurants, and more importantly, the prices were surprisingly affordable. My favorites were the Scallion Oil Noodles and the Wontons in Spicy Peanut Sauce, but their beef & pepper noodles and pork soup dumplings were also on par with what I would expect from an authentic Chinatown restaurants. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu. Favorites: Scallion Oil Noodles, Wonton in Spicy Peanut Sauce Solid: Pork Soup Dumplings, Shredded Beef & Pepper Noodles, Pork Chop Rice bowl

This hidden gem serves up some of the most mouthwatering dumplings I’ve ever had! From the moment you step in, the ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a night out. The dumplings are the star of the show here. Whether you go for the steamed or pan-fried, they’re always packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The pork and chive dumplings are an absolute must-try, with a delicate, tender wrapper and a savory filling that bursts with every bite. The spice level is just right, too—enough to add a little kick but not overpower the dish. Service is always friendly and attentive, and the dishes come out quickly without sacrificing quality. It’s clear that this place truly cares about both the food and the experience. If you’re in the South End and craving some delicious Chinese food with top-tier dumplings, this place should be at the top of your list! Highly recommend!

Great service, maki was very good. Fried rice was ok. We came here for a work lunch. my colleagues liked the hotpot option! The pot stickers were goos.

This small but mighty shop serves amazing piping hot clay pot rice, but with limited seating there may be a worthwhile wait. This spot is perfect for a relaxing meal on a cold day. Food: Clay pot rice is a very comforting dish and a great way to explore more unique Chinese foods. The clay pot rices we got had the perfect crispy sides that paired well with the more tender proteins that tops the rice. The flavors were on the mellow side but still flavorful, meaning you didn’t need to take breaks besides cooling down your next spoonful. My favorite part was so hot the dish stays as you continue to eat. Even 20 minutes after they were served, the rice was still piping hot! Service: It’s a small operation with 1-2 sweet ladies in the front serving and taking orders. They do their best to accommodate all customers to limit their wait times so sometimes you may end up saying a table with another small group. Atmosphere: This spot is cozy but can get a little hectic at times given the small space. This isn’t the type of place to enjoy a long drawn out meal. It’s a no fuss stop just looking to serve great food to as many people as they can.

This place is very small and has limited numbers of table. They serve clay pot rice with different toppings. The traditional Chinese sausage one is good but others can be a bit unflavored and require you to add pre soy sauce yourself. We added egg on one of the order and found the egg being overcooked. I can’t say they are awesome but I think out of what you can get from Boston, this is okay. The waitress reminded us about paying tips at the end, which I thought it’s a bit rude.

The dumplings were decent, but the skin was a bit dry and many of them had cracked, so there was no soup left inside. Overall, the food was quite good, but we were surprised that the pork dish we ordered was $40+ for such a small portion—especially at a place that doesn’t feel particularly high-end. Still, it’s a good enough spot.

We were craving soup dumplings and boy did this place deliver. Tried a bunch of different ones, thanks rainbow option! The truffle soup dumplings as well as crab soup dumplings were my favorites. Table app ordering was an easy, efficient experience for our table of 5. Orange chicken was some of the best I've ever had. Will come back just for dumplings but the Peking duck and the lobster entrees around us smelled amazing as well.

Worth a try to have different rice plates and crispy chicken. Not a great place with nice ambience however, the food we tried filled the gap. Food portion was good enough for to for a single menu item. Service was not that great as we would prefer some one to talk a bit and explain the menu and serve happily however, it seemed they prefer more of local clientelle. Seafood is definitely overpriced. Would recommend to try this restaurant for takeaway (choice of rices, crispy chicken and dim sums).

I came here for lobsters because they have a special for 2 lobsters for $46 but tbh other than beef chow fen I can't recommend anything else. The lobsters are small but given the price I will let it slide. The satay beef is super weird. They give large portions but they also added clear noodle which is super weird and not very delicious with not enough satay sauce. The steamed giant clam is priced $7 a piece but they basically spread 1.5 clams with a lot of clear noodle to make it look like 3 giant clams with 3 shells so if you do the math they are not as cheap as they make them out to be. I'd rather they charge full price like $10 but gives you the actual full amount. I know this because I cook at home and then I know how much meat is in 1 clam. As for lobster I have a feeling they just cook a bunch and give you pieces with 2 heads but they are alright. The best is beef chow fen which is surprisingly good. This is a cheap restaurant so ambience sucks with noisy diners and crammed seating. Don't take your date unless you've been together for a long time. Service is typical Chinese service fast and efficient but not attentive.

This place is so good! I love chicken and waffles and someone recommended I check it out for this reason and I was not disappointed! The chicken and waffles were delicious along with the kimchi fried rice and the burger! The cocktails were also delicious and so perfectly crafted! The prices were very good, especially for Boston! It has a very cool vibe and they were playing great Latin music! Definitely check it out!

We had the pleasure of lunch at Shōjō Boston on a Wednesday afternoon, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were impressed by the restaurant's beautifully decorated interior—modern yet inviting, with a unique flair that made it feel special. The service was exceptional. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that our experience was seamless from start to finish. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and creativity. We truly enjoyed every bite, and the food was both delicious and visually stunning.Overall, Shōjō Boston exceeded our expectations. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a place to celebrate, this spot is definitely worth a visit. We can’t wait to return!

This place has the best Peking duck in town! We ordered the whole duck, pan fried eggplant stuffed with shrimp, and snow pea leaves sautéed with garlic. Everything was delicious - the eggplant was caramelized in the best way possible and the peas leaves were yummy. The duck, however, was the centerpiece of the meal. It was juicy, and the skin was amazingly crispy. We wrapped the beautifully sliced meat with delicate pancakes, house sauce, and shredded scallions. It does take 40 minutes for them to prepare the duck. (This is normal for a place that specializes in Peking duck.) One thing I wish the restaurant would do better is the ambience. The place feels like a no-frills banquet hall with lights that are a little too bright. The duck that they serve deserves a slightly fancier atmosphere. That said, my family can’t wait to come back for the duck again. The dim sum menu also looks good so we’ll be back for that, too.

The service is great, the chef was cool. Food is worth it. We were there for the Peking duck. It's definitely a different taste experience. I highly recommend it. Had to get those feet and bean curds

One of the best places to get char siu, roast pork and roast duck in Houston. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this hole in the wall their roast meats are top notch. As with other places you order by the pound and they will chop it for you. The roast pork is best enjoyed fresh. It’s just not the same even if you air fry it. They actually have a fairly extensive menu of rice plates with various combinations of meats although I didn’t enjoy the other meat dishes from the pans as much as their main meats. They are located in the back of the shopping center, tucked away kind of out of sight. Parking is notoriously bad as there are a number of popular restaurants with a shared parking lot.

Alan’s Deli, located in Dun Huang Plaza, has become one of my go-to spots, and after several visits, I can confidently say it’s very good. My favorite dish has to be the roasted duck—it’s incredibly flavorful, with a perfectly crispy skin that complements the tender meat. The sauce pairs wonderfully with the duck, though I’d recommend asking for a bit extra if you’re ordering half a duck, as the standard portion of sauce can feel a bit light. While the menu doesn’t offer a huge variety, you can choose from a selection of vegetables and meats. However, for the price, I think they could offer more value by allowing customers to pick two meats and two veggies instead of just 3. They also have convenient pre-packed items, which are always fresh and a great deal for takeout. The staff at Alan’s Deli are consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of their offerings.

Certainly an interesting looking restaurant, nice and modern and a break from the norm. The menu is very limited certainly in regards to warm offerings. There is an emphasis placed on hand made noodles that vary in size, and they are certainly are nice. However, the beef offered is rather poor, dry and chewy. In addition the dish I ordered was presented warm and became cold very quickly. Great service and sensible pricing, for me the menu offering is just to sparse and the meat just too cheap.

A little disappointed since I saw great reviews. The noodles were fresh but when they are stuck together, it was quite frustrating to eat. I got the oil splashed noodles with pork. By the way if you must try this place, get the pork. My friends got the beef and it was cold meat from the fridge. Seriously. You are welcome. The sauce was good but I wanted more. When I asked for more she pointed to the vinegar and Chili oil, which I guess made sense. But it just lacked volume and taste. I wish my review was different. I also got the beef hamburger. It was different for sure. Tasted okay, but not something that wowed me. I probably wouldn't come back. To be honest, the service was great and surprisingly clean here, but food was subpar. 3 stars for okay.

Love the Szechuan food here! Quite authentic and very flavorful. I am especially happy to be able to find the bone-in pepper chicken (辣子鸡) here, very close to the taste I’ve been missing for a long time! Most dishes are good as well - we are trying to come back every weekend since our first visit - this is how much I love their food. However, personally, I found their dry pot series to be quite mediocre… wouldn’t recommend ordering those.

The ambience in the restaurant was phenomenal. I’d like the quiet setting and the nice decorations reminded me I’m going to go in China The servers were very nice and helpful, they changed the plates and brought in water as soon as I finished make up. One gripe that I have about this place is the spiciness level. I think that this is not somewhere where you should go if you do not have a tolerance for spice. Every single dish I had except for the green beans were spicy. The top foods in order : 1. Spicy pork belly. 9/10 2. Cauliflower beef 3. Chicken feet

Got curious with this Restaurant so I decided to order via doordash. 左宗鸡 General Tso's Chicken - Some parts were not easy to chew. I had much better ones. It came with a side of rice. Soy 油鸡饭 Soy Sauce Chicken with Green Vegetable - this one my fave comparable to Sangkee. I love this one because tender, moist, juicy and has fat in the skin. Delish I am missing of the sauce on the side. This one is over rice. Huge portion of rice 烧鸭饭 Roasted Duck on Rice with Green Vegetable Q - the duck could have been better. The skin is not as crispy as I would like. Lack of flavor. Sangkee still has the best Roasted Duck. This one is over rice. Huge portion of rice I gave it a try but won't order here again. One and done

The shrimp dumplings was good and crunchy. The rice was Ard,very stiff and maybe microwaved, the wonton soup was ok. But that broth was popping. Most likely I won’t return.

This genuinely might be one of my new favorite places to eat, not only in Chinatown but in Philly. My mother and I came here this past Saturday for lunch and we both agreed that every single dish we ordered was FANTASTIC. It was one of the best meals I’ve had. I’ve always wanted to try a hand drawn noodle house and I am so glad this place was my first impression of one!! We shared a scallion pancake and vegetable dumplings as appetizers. SO GOOD. My mother got the Szechuan Cold Noodles as her main and I got the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. AMAZING. The portions are quite generous and the prices are so reasonable. Can’t wait to come back!!

First off this place is cash only. Do not even think of going there without cash. If it is busy, they will see you with other groups at the same table. This is just because it’s a very busy spot, especially during busy times. With those two things in mind, I always know the food is going to be great and I have been here twice in a week to eat. Both times it was the same. It was excellent. The service was excellent and the food absolutely tasted exactly the same as before. Raised beef noodle soup is a great choice as is the saliva chicken And scallion pancake. Next time I’ll try the shaved noodle, but the hand-drawn noodle is absolutely stellar with great chew and lots of bounce and not overcooked.
