The restaurant seems to be avoiding sales tax. My bill included a compulsory 18%gratuity but the card receipt showed the included total as pre tip. Since they can’t add tip twice on a bill, the invoice was inflated. They also don’t give a bill to the customer but a payment receipt.
Overall comment - we ready to pay more than advertised price on menu. Else food was fine.

I was reluctant to post this and tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but wow. Slimy Beef & Brocolli, chicken teryaki slimy over cooked. The smell is repulsive. I hope there is another Chinese restaurant because this one doesn’t value customers, quality or courtesy. I read the reviews on here often to see if there will be a change but tonight wow. I really hope things change.
I was charged an automatic 18% tip on the receipt, and I almost paid an additional tip had I'm not carefully checked. The server wasn't particularly friendly or competent enough to warrant an 18% tip. She gave us an incorrectly billed receipt, causing unnecessary inconvenience. I think a 10% tip is fair, so being surprised by the 18% charge left me extremely frustrated and disappointed. The food was fine.
Ordered hot spicy chicken (辣子鸡丁）and beef spicy clay pot (肥牛麻辣香锅）The hot spicy chicken is American style, not recommended to Chinese people. And the beef spicy clay pot is a little bit too salty. Not recommended either. But the service is good. So food for 3 ⭐️ while service 5 ⭐️, in total 4 ⭐️. Might not visit again. But it is very close to Symphony Hall, a place to have some food before going to Symphony Hall.
I don’t understand the mediocre rating here, there is not much to complain about. The food is good though can get a bit pricy, but that’s typical for dim sum in the area. The boba is great and cheaper than most places in the area. Service is not the greatest, but the location is nice, located close to Newbury street without the crazy prices. Overall, a good place to stop by late at night when your craving some warm, comforting food.
I got the Taiwan style Dumpling soup (with Taiwan noodles) and it did not disappoint! The boba tea was excellent as well. Generous portions and prompt service. I could tell the waitress didn't speak English as a first language but she answered all of my questions and was very helpful. If I lived in Boston I would absolutely visit again!
The family was here for a quick meal after arriving in Boston. The host apparently owners wife was very friendly and chatty., and the place seem clean. The Taiwanese style food were surprisingly good. The pork chop, beef noodle and soupy dumplings were very well done. The stinky tofu is what I would considered “Lite” version compare to what I am used to in Taiwan but it is still satisfying to my taste buds
Went here for a treat, tried Chinese for the first time in Boston and the food didn't disappoint. Tried the chef's special, Mixed seafood with Spicy Sauce in Clay Pot, and it was very appealing, enjoyable and scrumptious. The pictures posted are the clay pots having more than enough quantity which goes pleasantly with rice. The staffs are very attentive and have excellent customer services. There was rush but luckily no wait time. Had a splendid evening.
