My review is mainly for the Chinese BBQ counter - this is my go-to spot for the roast duck and roast pork! The meats are well-seasoned, the duck isn't all bones, and the roast pork has a good proportion of fat vs. lean meat. The staff are efficient, they take credit cards, and they don't get carried away with overweighing your meat when you request a certain amount. They have a little lot behind the restaurant for parking, it can get tight back there. There's also street parking available on the main drag or the side streets. read more

parking is street. ambiance is what you find at any chinese restaurant. service was great as we were one of four tables at the time. came here for a large family lunch and they are good for that as the dishes are on the large size. we ordered meats, vegetables, seafood. i ordered two large oysters and they were my favorite. read more

If there were an option for zero stars, I would choose that. We reserved a table a week before with everyone present, but they gave it away to another party that only had four people there. They didn't even have a reservation. If they don't take reservations, they shouldn't tell us everything is all set and waste our time. Bad customer service. Food has always been hit or miss anyways. There are plenty of Chinese restaurants in Quincy that are much better than this place. LOOK ELSEWHERE! read more

I returned here because I'm craving a good Cantonese food. I came during lunch hours and surprisingly more people are ordering take outs. Service was good considering I'm their only customer. I ordered their Hawaiian fried rice, chicken with scallion and garlic, and jelly fish. The food are great and most of the portions are for 1-2 people servings. read more

The SPOT for family style Chinese food. This spot is always filled with old asian uncles and aunties that's how you know it's authentic. My go to order is always: -beef brisket with turnip (but I sub turnip for bean curd) the beef is always sooo tender and I love the tendon. -fried chicken with garlic. Highly recommend eating this at the restaurant versus at home. Tastes amazing fresh. -salted fish and chicken fried rice. They don't skimp on the salted fish, flavor is very prominent and just delicious -any of their soups! Delicious Love bringing my family here, you'll never be disappointed! read more

Stumbled upon here after late night Logan pickup. Owner was so nice and friendly. Food was amazing. I also learned that a small order of soup will feed 4. Will revisit for the dim sum! read more

Parking is not too hard too find! Service/servers are nice nothing too out of the norm. Food was amazing! I tried their crab Rangoon It was amazing! I also tried something unique and what I typically wouldn't order and it was JellyFish. You eat their tentacles in a pickles sauce. If you like dill pickles imagine it in a string like form; I was afraid since it was my first try and couldn't imagine myself eating a jelly fish but when I tell you it was phenomenal it truly was in every sense of the word. I didn't jump all too deep into the main dishes but I plan on returning. The restaurant is cute in design so you'll enjoy the scenery while you enjoy your food. read more

Took our daughter and her hubby out for her birthday dinner. She chose East Chinatown and I'm glad we called to make reservations as they were turning people away at the door. Food was hot and fresh. Service was great and we will definitely be back. read more

Updating my review because I forgot to say, MUST GET the king crab course ! This is great for a special occasion and of course if the party enjoys crab. They make the crab in multiple different ways and it's absolutely delicious. Must try if you haven't... it's one of my favorite things to get from Chinese restaurants! read more

Traditional CANTONESE grub. The clams with black bean sauce was excellent & so was the shrimp with pan-fried noodles. Choy sum was delicious too but they don't know how to make a good chicken corn soup(TOO THICK & NOT HOT ENOUGH) or hot/sour soup(WEIRD TASTE). Will try other dishes. Good & Friendly service. read more

My friend bought a 8 delights crispy noodles take out order for $18.00 today 06/06/25. The squid was rotten. Has to throw the whole thing away. Lost appetize for the whole day. The restaurant owner has to pays more attention to quality of the food. Not just the money. read more

My go to spot in Quincy. Good is always good. Never a disappointment. Very busy but worth the wait

We ordered takeout from this spot and it was delicious. The portions were pretty big and we had leftovers. We ordered: - roasted duck: the meat was very flavorful and tender. - sweet and sour spare ribs: the sauce was really good and the ribs came with a mixture of pineapple, bell peppers, onions. The spare ribs were cooked well and the meat fell off the bone easily - sesame chicken: served with broccoli. The sauce was a little sweeter than other restaurants but it was very good. I liked that the chicken wasn't too heavily battered Definitely plan on ordering from here again! read more

The roast duck and Char Siu is both juicy and very flavorful. A recommendation to try when first coming there.

I get take outs here often. The food is usually decent, but not spectacular. They always have friendly service and good size portions. Today, I got a few takeout items, and they were pretty bad. I got several "chow foons", and they were unusually oily and greasy tasting. Not horrible, but not pleasant tasting either. Then I bit into the Singapore Rice Sticks, and these were the worst I have had in my life. Usually, Singapore Rice Sticks taste pretty similar. Some restaurants skimp on the ingredients, others give a lot of shrimp and veggies. East Chinatown has always given a good amount of ingredients and they did this time too. But while other restaurants might fail with this dish by making it either too dry or too dripping with grease, on this occasion the rice stick noodles were hugely undercooked. Like spaghetti, rice sticks come in dry, hard form, and you have to soak or boil it until the noodles are cooked soft. Tonight, if 1 was raw and uncooked and 10 was well cooked to softness, I would say these rice sticks were maybe a 4. You bite into them and they were tough and incredibly chewy. You just can't chew through it. I live more than half an hour from this restaurant. So by the time I got home and found this disaster, it was too late to go back to have it replaced. So, one of my four dishes totally wasted and uneatable, and another 2 of the 4 dishes I got were bad. Overall, very disappointing, especially since I come here often and expect a certain standard, which were definitely not met today. read more

I ordered take out, there was quite a few items. One of the dish i ordered is 1/2 fried crispy chicken, somehow it's missing pieces. 1/2 of a chicken and there was only 2 piece of white meat. Another dish I ordered was sizzling black pepper beef, but i got pork chop. The food was only subpar, I'm disappointed. read more

Pretty good Cantonese food in Quincy. We came in for dinner. We tried ordering the Peking duck but the restaurant said it was too busy that night. So instead we ordered beef flat noodles which were very good. The snow pea leaves were excellent. The salt and pepper pork chops were ok but could have used more flavor. Prices are a little high but it is conveniently located and quick. It seems to be a popular place locally. read more

Roast duck was crispy and flavorful but my favorite dish was the fish filet and vegetable w/ XO sauce. That just had a big WOW in flavors and refreshing textures. Great authentic Cantonese Chinese foods, highly recommend! read more

Food is yummy but service and price is not good. They were busy tonight but definitely not as organized as they should be. They kept walking behind my chair and hitting my chair, I tried to move in as much as possible but they should be more careful even if they are busy. We ordered all our dishes and 20 minutes later they came and told us they couldn't make one of our dishes, shouldn't they have knew that sooner If they ran out of something? Squab had perfectly thin and crispy skin it was definitely the star of the night. The clams were good, some of the clams didn't have meat in them and no did not fall off on the plate. The soft shell crab was nicely fried. The abalone scallop vermicelli is everyone's favorite and it was super tender and juicy. Sweet and sour pork is nicely crisp and evenly coated w sauce. The grass and chicken organ was a least favorite, not a fan because it was very chewy and hard to swallow. Overall, this came to nearly $300 with tip for 5 adults. Definitely pricey but food is not that great to come back. read more

3.7. Went for family dinner on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. The food came out quickly and was p good. Food was seasoned well and everything just had the right texture aka crispy stuff was crispy. The portions are big. It's a small place but the main thing that threw me off was the smell of bleach mixed with aquarium and ngl it was distracting while I ate but if you're looking for a Chinese restaurant to eat family style, it's not bad place for food. read more

East Chinatown Restaurant - Walnut shrimp, deep fried milk, pigeon, clams, veg, fried seafood and pork, that dish with cha siu and other roasted meats - Seafood Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

This was the second time we dined in. Funny that the first time dined in this place was purely an accident. I wanted to go to the dim sum place around the corner but accidentally put this place in my GPS, haha! Well, the GPS actually helped us find this treasure! My favorite is the beef chow fun. It cooked perfectly and not as greasy or salty as I had in many other places. This time I also ordered the herbal steamed chicken in lotus wrap, and it had such a nice presentation! Everyone passed by our table asked what it was. The taste is a bit hard to judge as it has the unique Chinese herbal flavor plus the sweat flavor from dates/goji berry. Will definitely come back again to try their famous roasted duck. It was sold out when we got there today. read more

East Chinatown Restaurant - Steamed chicken in lotus leave - Seafood Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Haven't been here in years but a recent re-visit to this place brought back so many memories. This was definitely one of the original, authentic Chinese restaurants in North Quincy before it became so popular. This place has always had high-quality food and was the perfect place to have a family dinner; we were not disappointed. Char Siu: delicious pork with a sweetness that goes so well with its meaty flavor. It had the perfect balance of fattiness and was not tough at all. It just melted in your mouth and went perfectly with some white rice. A go-to Chinese classic that is always a must-try. Sizzling Tofu and Clams: although I do not remember the exact name of the order, this was as accurate as the dish was; tofu and clams (and some veggies) in a sizzling plate/pot. Every bite was so flavorful and as with any Chinese dish, went well with some white rice. Probably one of my favorites and is a little bit more on the healthier side. Wok Tossed Beef Chow Foon: another amazing classic that is a must-try here. Noodles were perfectly chewy and the beef just melted in your mouth. It all came together in a savory, smoky, aromatic dish. Roasted Duck: always a delicacy and when done right, tastes better than any poultry you've ever had; this place definitely did it right. The skin was perfectly crsipy. The meat was flavorful, tender and moist and had the perfect balance of fattiness and meat. So amazing and delicious! Stir-fry watercress: got to get some veggies in your dinner and these were delightful. Its a great break between all the savory, meaty flavors from the other dishes and is a great dish in and of itself. Overall, an amazing experience. I'm making sure to take my friends here someday to really get the best authentic Chinese cuisine you can in Quincy. It's wonderfully tasty in an all around pleasurable atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Noticed the reviews about this place mixed. Been going here a few times but never had a chance to leave a reviews . I thought this place is underrated . Since the pandemic it's been surviving off take out orders and it's pretty quiet when we were there. Food was pretty good and no complaints from us. Staffs was nice enough and good spot for a good lunch or dinner . read more

We heard great things about the place and ended up stopping by for a light meal. The service was great, food was good and we even got complimentary red bean soup at the end despite not ordering too much. We had someone ordering/talking in Cantonese which may have helped. Can't wait to come back and try more of the food next time we're back in Quincy! read more

I saw pictures of the food here and saw new management and went with my husband on a Sunday night after 8. Glad I came right after a big crowd. Got seated right away and started ordering. Crab rangoon - over cooked (how is that possible?!) Half a Garlic fried chicken a little bit cold but tasty and crispy Salted scallop fried with egg whites nice and big portion! And garlic pea pod stems! I would love to come back to try their bbq pork and Peking duck! read more

The WORST! I made a reservation through Google, received a confirmation, drove 45 minutes to go there... Walked in and said sorry we can't give you a table we are booked! They didn't care that we had a reservation. Do not book through Google, but don't go there with that attitude! Bad place, not nice people! read more

I can't believe this place only has 3 stars! It deserves a 5/5. This is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in Quincy and Boston (outside of Chinatown). Obviously, you know its good food when it's a "hole in the wall." Expect good food over customer service. It's a small tiny restaurant packing with flavor and authenticity. read more

My aunt who lives in Quincy took us here with a 4:30 Sat reservation. Every dish was excellent - better than Chinatown. We had: ginger/scallion lobster, salt/pepper calamari, steak with Chinese broccoli, seafood stuffed tofu, mayo shrimp with walnuts, longevity noodles, salted fish/chicken fried rice. Just wish Quincy isn't such a distance from Newton! read more

I went here for a family dinner recently. It was pretty packed around 7pm and we waited for over half an hour. Once we sat down, we ordered: * Stir-fried pea pod stems with garlic * Cubed flounder with crispy fin * ginger and scallion beef tendons * stir fried clams in black bean sauce * fried chicken with garlic * fried pork riblets with taro * fried soft shell crab Most of the dishes came out pretty quick but our flounder dish took over 40 minutes before it came out. By that time, we were pretty much full. Out of all the dishes, my favorites were the stir-fried clams and fried pork riblets with taro. I would be happy with just those dishes. The other dishes were average. The most disappointing dish was the fried chicken for it was not very crispy. read more

After years of not going, we went back to this place for a family dinner. The family-owned business did not disappoint. The service was great. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. Fresh steamed large oysters on the shell were delicious. Steam eel was tasty. The fried smelts were perfectly fried with good seasoning. All the of the dishes were flavorful and had good portions. The unique black rice, taro soup dessert was a surprise, as not many places offer it. Not too sweet and piping hot. Decent prices also, compared to other restaurants in Quincy. read more

Hey there, i wish us a great day. Um I've wish that they clean the dishes & drinks a lot cleaner. When I got served with water there's like food in the drink & I was surprised. I didn't want 2 say anything 2 them it might hurt there feelings. I hope things will b better on my next visit read more

Amazing food. I have ordered for the past 2 weeks here lol. Beef Chowfoon with gravy is very very good. Light tasty gravy, meat has a nice flavor, and the rice noodles are perfectly moist with a hint of wok taste. Spicy salted pork chops and Hong Kong style steak is amazing... The prices here are very good too. Very affordable. I recommend going here. My new favorite authentic Chinese restaurant . read more

Terrible food take out quality and service! We ordered some roast pork last weekend and the roast pork was all fat. None of it was edible! I have never seen something like that! We came back this weekend to complain and requested our money back, but the owner's attitude was not nice and unapologetic. We only got a few bucks back (of course, money was not a big deal) but the service was very unprofessional! read more
