We came here for lunch after hearing about their great and authentic Lao food. It's a mix of Lao…read moreand Thai cuisine which has a nice mix of sweet, spicy and savory plates. Loved the salads / apps we got including the tapioca balls stuff with pork and peanuts and the crispy rice salad with chopped Lao sausage. They were both served with a variety of fresh lettuce and herbs which really helps to balance the heavier starters. We also shared the whole fried pompano with steamed veggies that was really nicely fried with a crispy skin and tender meat inside. I really like the spicy Lao-style tomato sauce they served on the side as well. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a unique flavorful meal. Super good and I'll definitely be back for the tapioca balls and crispy rice salad.

Being nearby Lanxang, the lady had always wanted to give it a go. I'll say staff and service were…read morequick and efficient. You can tell they are a staple to the locals! A Thai + Lao spot, some sweet and sour flavors and some spicy flavors, but for sure good flavor and portions. Here's what we ordered: - Crab Rangoons - Laarb Seen/Lao Beef Salad - Kowpoon/ Laotian Curry Noodle Soup - Beef Pad See Ew - Thai Iced Crab rangoons are FILLING. Good filling to wrap ratio, real crab meat used! I would order those Everytime. If you like the sweeter style filling this isn't it. Laarb seen, was alright the beef and the flavors were as expected but not memorable for me, the protein portion was a bit light for our dish. Kowpoon noodle soup, flavor was on point almost like a Bun Mam. The noodles for us missed the mark, the lady ended up scrapping the noodles on a spare plate. I didn't care for it either. Didn't have good chew, felt overcooked and soggy by time we got it. Beef padsee ew! Yes yes! Great dish, nice noodles, good brown sauce and beef was tender! Ice tea was creamy, you can taste the Thai tea still it wasn't overshadowed by heavy sweeteners. Nice spot, good prices, big menu. Will have to try other dishes next time around!

What we got: Smoked Bacon and Dried Tofu Stir-Fry Deep-fried Oyster Mushroom Spicy Sir-Fried Shredded Potato Every one of these dishes was just perfect, and the menu has so much more to explore. One important note is that many of the authentic and different dishes available were on the in-house restaurant menu though I didn't see them online. Not sure if I missed something on the website, but I was very excited to see the menu they had in-house. We also enjoyed some equally authentic tea with our meal - the meal was good at every turn. The guy serving us - who I took to be the owner - was super helpful with suggestions and very friendly. Everything we had was cooked fresh, so not super fast, but definitely in reasonable time. The chef was amazing. If you are looking for a place with truly good authentic food that falls a bit outside the New England Chinese staples, I strongly recommend Oxyear. This is a small local corner restaurant, but well worth the trip.

Parking is street parking, and you can pay at…read morethe kiosk or through the Passport app. It really depends on when you go since parking can get a little tricky. Inside, it's very cozy and has that Chinese cafe feel. It's clean, and they also have outdoor seating. My favorite are the individual window seats. I like sitting there and people-watching, though it's not exactly the busiest area for people-watching. Soup dumplings? Yes, please. The skin is slightly thicker than the ones I've had in New York, though they're still great. I never just order one thing here. They have a lot of variety with Chinese appetizers, dumplings, noodles, rice, and even mala hot pot. Do not pass up the braised pork rice bowl if you like hearty, authentic Asian dishes. I keep forgetting this place is here until the weather gets colder or I'm craving dumplings. Overall Service: Always so nice. There was one time I was on-call while dining here and got paged, and they helped box everything up for me to take home. I really appreciated that. Definitely a place I'm glad to have in the area.

I didn't leave the establishment because I was with others who wanted to enjoy the food. The first issue was we couldn't seat where we wanted, it had to be where the waitress or manager decided we were to seat. Not one client in the restaurant. Then she brought the bill before we requested no one was waiting to be seated, then refused to split the bill when previous times with a different server was not a problem. We split the bill to only 2 because thats all she could do, me paying for 4 people she denies my tip amount and says if I don't tip a 18% , theywill charge me $80 extra for a party of 6, again we were only 4 people. I am very disappointed with my service and treatment, unfortunately I don't know the server name but she is one that speaks more English. Will I go back and be bullied into tipping what they want? Probably no.

Where am I suppose to go for BBQ Pork Buns / Char Siu Bao buns ?…read more I posed this question in the Worcester FB group and most of them pointed me towards this restaurant. I've previously eaten here a few times, but I've never managed to stop by early enough for their Dim Sum lunch until now. As a side note, I cannot believe Worcester doesn't have ANY restaurants that serve these buns? Sounds like some enterprising individual needs to fulfill this void. I normally drive all the way to Joyful Garden in Watertown when I have a Dim Sum craving. Other times I will already be wandering through Boston before I stop by Hei La Moon. I came here with the expectation that I will get the same quality foods. This place has got a pretty darn big parking lot. I'm not going to count every spot on Google Maps, but it's about 50 spots. So it should not be hard to park. Walking inside, I was quickly greeted by the wait staff and directed to my table. I'm no interior design expert, so I will candidly say that the decor totally yells 'very Chinese' and elegant. I don't know man, just look at the interior pictures and you'll understand what I mean. If you've never done Dim Sum before, it can be very overwhelming. Someone with a cart will come by and you'll have several seconds to process what's available and say "Yes" or "No" through a variety of dishes they point at. And then before you can recover, another staff member will come by with another cart with towers of steaming baskets and you go through the song and dance again. I kid you not, in the average Dim Sum experience you will sit down and then have a table full of food literally within a few minutes. Before I knew it, I had 3 plates and 3 baskets on my table. The verdict? Totally delicious. I'm not going to talk about every dish I got and wax poetic one by one. I don't have time for that, and if you've been to one Dim Sum place, then you've been to all of them. I will give a few shoutouts for the sake populating this review with important keywords. Char Siu Bao bun / Baked BBQ Pork bun ; this is my favorite dish and precisely the reason why I came in. The bread is so light and the pork filling is so delicious sweet and savory. I'm in heaven Chicken Feet ; actually, I will note that the chicken feet here are not as flavorful as other places I've been to. This is a small nitpick because it still firmly lands in the delicious spectrum. It's the difference between scoring an A and an A- Random Pork Bun ; ??? I cannot find it on the menu, but I chose a set of 3 buns that were filled with pork. The bun style was closely similar to the chewy glutinous sesame balls and they were filled more yummy pork. I've never eaten these before. Shiu Mai ; holy sh** these are the biggest Shiu Mai I've ever eaten. I had an awesome experience here and I recommend it anyone in the area to give this place a shot if they don't want to drive all the way to Malden/Watertown/Boston/Quincy.

Experiences have ranged from a 3*** to 4****+ with the variable being both food and service…read more Definitely very good Chinese food worth the visit. Typically, you are quickly seated with the server checking in immediately and providing hot tea for the table. This is based on 3 recent visits, and weighted by the last visit which was a disappointment. The neon lights outside beckon you to come in. It's a brightly lit dining room with round tables typical a large Dim Sum restaurant in Boston. Perhaps a little too bright, but there is typically a table available. It offers late dining which is great. The food is certainly very good typically with good sized portions at a good value. The pan friend dumplings a large, tender and a great value. The Hunan and Sichuan dishes provide healthy portions. Definitely very good Chinese food for the area. It is typically served quickly and very hot. The service has been mixed. On a not so busy night, we felt ignored. It took a long time to get drinks (arriving with the food in one case) on one occasion.

Egg Roll: Golden, crunchy outside, crunchy inside, and moist. Mostly cabbage, with celery and an unusual flavor from five spice but closer to allspice or nutmeg. No protein I could discern. "And for that reason," as the Shark Tank investors like to say, I'm pegging this one as merely average, but a very interesting average. I'd still get it again. "Andy" Wings: An appetizer offering a spicy alternative to the regular wings, striking me as what Kowloon's Saugus Wings could be if Kowloon still cared enough to put effort in. Scoldingly hot, fully coated, lightly breaded, bumpily crisp even under the thick hot sauce, and flanked by an assortment of hot peppers, onions, and I think minced garlic. The sauce blended oyster or black bean sauce with garlic, sugar, and heat. Impressive preparation on the wings, "Frenching" them into lollipops to expose the ends of the bones (no meat is removed; they push it up to make a plumper formation). I've seen that before with the drum parts, but here they did that even with the flats. Inner meat not quite juicy but definitely moist. Elite for sure. Sweet and Sour Chicken: Ordered requesting sauce on the side per my eating buddy. The chicken fingers were fairly standard (as are roughly 80 percent of the fingers out there), so no praise, no faults. Meat-to-batter typically on the somewhat low side. Batter flirting with puffy while still crisp. Sauce closer to ruby or brick in color than typical, while also closer to straight sweet than sweet and sour. Zero glop. Nice inclusion of onion and pepper in addition to the pineapples. Overall, average. Pork Fried Rice: Not the 1970s by any means, but probably the best PFR I've had in the past year. I've had darker in the past year but not better. Good feel that felt better--moist to the brink of greasy but not quite--than the color would suggest. Onion, egg, bean sprouts all included. Pork nuggetry impressively dense. Took me back to the fried rice glory days of my childhood. Came back a week later, tried it again, and it was even better. Great flavor, great texture, unquestionably elite. Spareribs: The wings and rice arrived first and the server said the spareribs would be out in a bit. For this reason, I'm guessing they felt guilty that the ribs weren't ready and brought them out possibly too soon. So I'll start with the biggest flaw: the surfaces were light on char and lighter on crust, feeling like they weren't really ready yet. That said, there was a lot to like, most notably the very meaty cut, the scored surface, and the gushing juices. Pinkish red glaze very lightly applied, with a brown puddle from a different flavorizer underneath. A little on the fatty side, but another few minutes under the broiler would take care of that too. Gonna say above average this time, but I can envision another try coming in at near-elite. Chicken Wings: Had to give the basic version a test drive on visit 2. Six jointed pairs (drums and flats) to the order, so 12 pieces for $12.95, barely more than a buck a wing. I'm not into breaded wings, but these were breaded, although lightly. Decent crunch, but not much going on flavorwise on the surface. Inside, fully moist to juicy and noticeable flavor from five spice and maybe even hints of curry. Well above average but not elite or near-elite. Good enough to get again. The scorecard: two visits, six items, two average, one above average, one well above average, and two elite. In Dracut, of all places? Who'd a-thunk it?

They have a new drink menu coming out tomorrow with so many different options. They have mocktails, mojitos, and lemonades. I will definitely need to try them all.
