"So, I searched for good Chinese lobster in Boston and this one pops up as top 10. I went at 6pm. There was only one table. Pretty empty for dinner time. Not a good sign. But waitress friendly enough so against my gut instinct, I decided to stay. They presented us 3lbs lobster with 2 claws. But when the lobster arrived, there was only a quarter. When confronted, the waitress said we have to order "double lobsters" to have both claws?? Please see pic. The taste was starchy. Taste isn't authentic. Service was lacking too. They never refill the tea. They added 19% tip to the bill automatically for 2 person. I told them their services lacking, and don't deserve 19%. She asked how much, I said 15% and she just refunded me the 4%. Avoid this tourist trap. If there's no Chinese eating in a Chinese restaurant during rush dinner hour, that's a bad sign. Should have followed my instinct."

"This place is an absolute hole in the wall gem that you should go with family and friends. Food is incredible and the staff is friendly and fast with the food, but do anticipate a language barrier and a “ruder” experience (they’re not intentionally rude at all though). The seating area itself is smaller and dirtier than most the average American restaurant, but you know what they say about hole in the walls - the worse the experience the better the food. Ordered the mayo shrimp, beef stir fry, duck, wonton soup, some special fried pork, and a sweet and sour beef dish. This comfortably fed 8 people. I recommend you order one dish per person, and come with more than 3 people to get a full experience. Shrimp, beef stir fry, duck, and the wonton soup are absolute delicacies. They’re not special dishes, but when you’re craving Chinese food you can literally never go wrong with it. The special fried pork was a bit too salty and the fried skin felt very low quality - perhaps old oil was used. Sweet and sour beef dish was great I think - I just don’t like sour meats but everyone else at my table did. Place was small, a bit dirty, and a bit smelly. Just a heads up, but much more than safe and comfortable anyway. At the end they gave us complimentary Che (Vietnamese sweet drink dessert). Absolute delight and pleasant surprise. The check was also negotiable. I will be coming back here."

"This is a must for me every time I visit Boston. The restaurant is not fancy but the food is so good. I always order twin lobsters with scallions and ginger. This time I also ordered clams with black sauces, which goes so well with plain steamed rice. The seafood crispy noodles were so so. We chowed down the Stir Fried Pea Pod Stems and cleaned the plate. We also liked the Beef with Chinese Parsley soup. Our service was great. It’s a no frill restaurant, and I was happy with the friendly server who was attentive."

"Authentic experience. delicious food. Large menu. Can go here for food, but don't expect great service. Our check cost more than expected, but we did not receive an itemized check or anything. So I do think they automatically add tip to the check already. So be aware. Also dishes that typically come with a small portion of rice, did not here. Anyways, when you take money automatically without letting someone know, it's considered stealing. Make sure you ask for the check."
