Great dumplings, buns, and rice. My boyfriend and I shared pork and leek dumplings, shrimp dumplings, roast duck buns, and seafood fried rice. All were excellent!
We came here for dinner on Sat night. Many people picking up takeout however only three other tables were dining in. Service was great. Food was excellent. We had the Sichuan flounder as seen in the pic below. The fish was fresh with a nice amount of spice and flavor included cabbage, bean sprouts, and green onions. The pork soup dumplings were perfect. We also had the egg fried rice. We were in and out. Perfect amount of food for two very hungry people. We left full and satisfied. Also, try their drinks. Iced Mango Boba tea was delicious.
All the dishes on the menu looked authentic Chinese food and that was why I went there. I ordered four dishes. One of them got wrong. Also, they were all pre-made and reheated. However, they were still barely warm. The taste was more like microwave heated frozen food from grocery stores
Best Chinese restaurant around Boston imo. I ordered sweet n sour fish for a late night takeout. The portion was surprisingly good for the price. I love how the fish did taste like fish instead of some bland piece of fillet. The assortment of veggies in the plate was great too with broccoli, naba cabbage, carrot, and onions instead of only broccoli like some places. I love veggies so it was a bonus point for me. The sauce was flavorful with a little bit of spiciness. Might be better with a little more touch of sweetness to tame the sourness down but not a big deal when pair with rice. The pick up was quick and the food was hot. They stopped serving dine-in when I walked in which was a surprise. So pay attention to that if you prefer to dine in. Will definitely come back despite the 20min drive.
This place has so much to offer! Love their dumplings and scallion pancakes. I’ve been here a lot of times, and haven’t ever had a dish I didn’t like. Best place for some quick greasy comfort food.
Ordered the mini juicy buns with pork and they were delicious. They came out pretty quick and we’re steaming hot. They tasted very fresh. Would definitely come back again!
Their customer service is horrible. They are racist. They served everyone in the restaurant before us. They didn’t get hs menus, ten minutes waiting when we walked in and I just got up and grabbed the menus myself. After that it was another 15 minutes or no service other than dropping off water. The food that came was horrible. I got “Thai” noodles that were like regular spaghetti, barely seasoned. My friend for the garlic chicken and it had no garlic, was mostly vegetables, and barely skinny little pieces of chicken. We shared soup dumplings; which we had to remind the waitress about after she had already brought our entreees. She gave us dumpling sauce with no dumplings, and we waited an extra ten minutes for them. When they came they tasted horrible. The texture, the soup, the dumpling wrapper, and the filling were all wrong. I wouldn’t recommend coming here.
I gave the dumplings here a try last year, and they were awful. Surprised by how the name of the restaurant is Dumpling KINGDOM. Coreanos around the block has much better dumplings. After a year, I gave them a shot again, and the waitress was really rude. She flicked her hand to point to us where to sit, gave us the menu, after choosing Mala Special to order the price said $8.50, and the waitress shared that there's been a price increase totaling about $20 for that item instead. Not sure why a restaurant has menus with the wrong prices. That should be shared from the beginning not after spending 10min looking for what to order to then have to change what to order. The waitress then passive aggressively asked "ready now"? When we finally ordered I asked "does this come with rice", and she rudely said "no rice!" The tension between her and I was unsettling for just trying to enjoy a meal out. At the end, when trying to pay they took the check back so quickly as to get us to leave right away when I hadn't written in the tip yet, and dropped it back on our table. I tried to like this place, but I've decided I'm done trying. It's not worth visiting. There's PLENTY of other places to choose from. If they went out of business it would be better for the neighborhood.
