The Best chicken wings ever!! Crispy, crunchy, salty and delicious. They stay juicy inside!! I don't know how they do it. They're great!! Nothing not to like especially if you like a chicken wing. You call and they're ready in no time. Super fast service. We always call for take out. Nice inside no complaints.

Decided to come back today and try something different. I decided to go with the black pepper short ribs (t bone is what they call it here). Flavor is definitely there. Portion is definitely a lot. The only complaint is the meat is a little chewy. I wish they could maybe char it a little first or perhaps cook it longer. Definitely give it a try.

Chinatown Cafe has a large menu with a really good price. All of its item is pretty good and it's hard to beat its price. I come here quite a bit to order something to bring home. The ambiance makes it feel like a hole in the wall because the restaurant lost a lot of the seatings. That makes me order things to go most of the time. It's also cash only. Here is my thoughts on what to order: Rice plate if you are ordering for yourself. For a family: Order a protein such as chicken, duck, or pork. Vegetables are a good add on and lastly, a side of your favorite carbs.

This place is where you go if you want large portions at a very reasonable price. We ordered a combo meal, and it literally was packed to the top, and they needed a rubber band to keep the lid shut. The container had to be at least 5 lbs of food. They do only take cash, so be prepared. Our combo dish included bbq pork, roast duck, and soy sauce chicken that came with some steamed veggies and rice. This one dish was enough to feed at least 2 people.

What can I say, this one was one of my favorite meals when I when to visit Boston for the first time. I was really excited to see how the other Asians live in the east coast and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the roasted duck and soy sauce chicken plate over white rice and my husband got the vegetable fried rice with crispy pork. And honestly we should have just gotten 1 to share because the portions were massive. But even if the portion size wasn't so large, the FLAVOR of the food was really good. Roasted duck is my absolute fav thing to eat and this place didn't disappoint. But honestly I was delightfully surprised that the soy sauce chicken was amazing as well! It was so flavorful and had so much meat! I think I had a whole chicken thigh in there. My husbands crispy pork was flavorful and of course crispy! Love. Then the fried rice I was not expecting much from but was actually delicious. flavor, portion size, price = ELITE I really wanted to eat a Chinese meal in Chinatown and support small businesses while showing support for the Asian community and had absolutely no regrets! Also, this was the cleanest Chinatown I've been to like WOW. Also, I'm from the SF Bay Area and some of the aunties working in Chinatown SF can be a little mean, so I was really anxious about ordering here but these Aunties here in Boston Chinatown was honestly the nicest ones I've ever met. Great customer service and spoke great English too! And I've been to a lot of chinatowns across the US! Things to keep in mind: 1) cash only 2) take out only! - but there's a beautiful park right by the the Chinatown Gate. It has shade, seating, and a mini bamboo forest that you can eat by and join in with the locals there.

This is THE place for Chinese BBQ in Boston. I used to go here when I was a kid with my parents and get pan fried noodles every time, but I never truly started to appreciate Chinatown Cafe until I started going here on my own and ordering their Chinese BBQ. Their Roast Duck, Char Siu, and Crispy Pork Belly are absolutely amazing, and they always give a huge portion for the amount of money you pay. HOWEVER, you never want to order a rice plate with more than 1 meat. We've noticed that if you order something like rice with roast duck and crispy pork belly (2 meats or more), you may get some off-cuts of the meat with a lot of bones in the duck or the ends of the pork belly. If you want to get a reliably consistent good quality cut, it's best to order just a 1-meat rice plate (or multiple, but always stick to 1 meat per dish). The most recent time I was here, I ordered the crispy pork belly on rice and (see picture) it came loaded with meat. I've been to other places around Boston that charge upwards of $15 and only give you 8-10 pieces, but there were 15 or so chunks of juicy, fatty, and crispy pork belly in this order. While we didn't eat in the restaurant because it was so crowded, there is a park right next door where we sat down on benches and were able to have a nice lunch. There was also enough rice and meat that we had a second helping for dinner! All in all, I will ALWAYS come back to Chinatown Cafe for Chinese BBQ. There really is no better place in Boston in my opinion, and the value is unbeatable.
