    Duck was delicious. Also try the chicken fried rice to go with. It was really good service was normal and definitely a unique experience seeing the ducks being hang and watching them cut into pieces definitely worth it and it was delicious.

    Hong Kong eatery has been a staple place in Chinatown offering up some great value rice plates with generous portions of meats. There are only a few tables inside. So despite the fast and efficient service, you should make sure there is available seating prior to deciding eat in or takeout (I made this mistake). I'm a huge fan of crispy pork. I would say this one is juicy and fatty in the right ways. The roasted duck was all bones and so disappointing. There really was barely any edible meat even though it looked beautiful with the skin. The bbq pork was okay and somewhat dry. All was over a generous serving of rice and all at a great value of around $15. I'll give them another shot but this time it did not live up to expectations sadly.

    BBQ meats with more veggies, less rice.

    Another great meal at Hong Kong Eatery. This time, I asked for less rice and more vegetables and they easily made it happen. The ladies behind the counter were really efficient and easy to deal with. I loved the BBQ meats rice and veggies. They were flavorful and still warm to the bite. A favorite in the Boston Chinatown area.

    I came here from a TikTok video recommending spots in Chinatown. The food was pretty good, but the quality of the meat was somewhat questionable - lots of tough/dry/gristly parts. Interior of the restaurant did not smell awesome. Overall it was okay for a quick bite, but not worth going out of your way.

    Service was efficient! Menu was easy to read. Food was fresh and delish! Seating was limited to about 10-12 people. They PACKED the meats on the noodle dish and their broth was so rich. PERFECT for the snowy cold day. The scallion pancakes were so crispy, chewy, and just so good. I highly recommend!!

    A staple in Chinatown! Their prices are great and the meat is always super fresh. The workers are very efficient too, and easy to order off the menu. There are a couple tables inside, which is nice. I only wish the meat was a bit leaner, i've gotten a couple fatty pieces before that I didn't love.

    Another week, another rice box from Hong Kong Eatery. This time, I was a little more hungry so I decided to do 3 pick selection. Might do 3 pick more moving forward LOL You get so much food you can barely close the box. The duck is always so juicy and flavorful. Crispy pork is a hit and miss because sometimes it can really be too fatty. Best Chinese bbq spot around Chinatown

    Shatteringly crisp pork belly. Char siu glazed to a smoky, sweet shine. Roasted duck with skin that snaps. And that marinated sausage? A salty-sweet punch that ties it all together. This is the kind of Cantonese comfort that speaks for itself. It's generations of flavor packed on one plate. Boston's Chinatown stays undefeated, and Hong Kong Eatery holds it down. Cheap and delicious--what more could you ask for?

    Left is roast Roasted Duck, right is Crispy Roasted Pork
    Heather L.

    I wanted to try the roast duck but at other restaurants you have to get a quarter or half duck and that seemed like a lot for a first try. Here they offer plates of 1 meat 1 rice or 2 meats 1 rice, which are still huge portions but only $12 each and a much more manageable amount to try! Very juicy, loved both the duck and crispy pork I got. I would warn to be careful when eating it as there are shards of bone in the meat from how they cut it.

    Roasted Duck, BBQ Pork and Tofu with Bokchoy over rice.

    Hands down one of my favorite Chinese spots in Boston. I always order the meat combo with BBQ Pork and Tofu and occasionally Roasted Duck, and I am always satisfied and happy. Their portions are always plentiful and delicious and you really get a bang for your buck. You can either order in the front or you can order via the tablet towards the back of the store. The wait time for food is not long at all, which is very nice. The seating area inside is small and cozy, with music in the background. It is also walking distance to Tufts Medical Center which is an added bonus as someone who often has appointments there.

    Wonton Noodle Soup
    Irisa J.

    I had been craving wonton since moving to Massachusetts and decided to pay Chinatown a little visit. I had previously visited to help someone pick up a duck and realized it was the same place after seeing it in TikTok. There was lots of noodles in the portion. The vegetables were cooked perfectly- soft but not mushy. The wontons were delicious and reminded me of the ones my grandpa would make! Ordering was easy- we ordered at a kiosk, before sitting at a table to wait for our order to be called.

    What I like about this place Is that they have cold dishes/appetizers. This is my second time here. The food is really good. Last time I had the roast duck and roast pork. Today I had the salt and pepper squid a side order of char sieu. The squid was light and crispy. The shallot and jalapeno seasoned the rice very well. Now on to the disappointment. The char siew was dry and lacking glaze and tough to chew. Still a great place for Chinese bbq and rice.

    Ordering kiosk, just past the BBQ meats counter

    For a quick Chinese breakfast I stopped by HK Eatery. While a long line formed, everyone queued for the roast duck and other BBQ items. Since I wanted to dine in, I proceeded to the back, where larging ordering screens let me put in my order of fish congee ($8) and scallion pancake. No line at this part Today's items both came piping hot, but undersalted. I ended up adding chili oil and extra salt to it. At least it was quick, hot, and cheap. Can't have everything. I also bought a few to-go appetizers, priced at $6 each. The duck gizzard and pig ears are not worth it; they are bulked up by radish and cucumber, respectively. A rip-off given the already small size.

    Exceptional food, great service with a unique experience you can only get in Boston's China…read moreChinatown. Dynasty is iconic. Known for a stem sum, we certainly enjoyed the dim sum offerings as well as traditional dishes . We've been there several times. This night, we had a table of 10 including a visit visitor from Germany for the World Cup. Unfortunately, I was so excited about the food. I missed several photos. It is all about the food. You can get some less common dishes. Two of my young adult children had friends who were eager to try the scallion, pancake crab Rangoon they had learned about on social media - it lived up to its reputation albeit a little messy! Dumplings of different varieties were amazing. Salt & pepper calamari was fresh, tender and a big hit! The generous portion of Chinese broccoli with garlic was amazing. The beef filet with pepper was one of the most popular dishes at the table and went quickly - the beef was tender with the right amount of spice. Every single dish was fully consumed. Most of all, it was a great value. Had I gone to the north end or anywhere else in Boston? It would've been 30 to 40% more expensive. We got great quality, food and service and an experience in the process. We didn't stray far except for Jelly fish appetizer that was crunchy with cucumber and a vinegar sauce that was tasty. The service is consistently attentive. As soon as you are seated, we had hot tea and drink orders. As food arrived, the table was always cleared. Nice to have this energy.

    When I was planning this trip to Boston with my daughter, eating dim sum in a major city is a must!…read moreWe eat dim sum at every new city we hit up. Our mother/daughter tradition. So after looking up local Chinese joints to eat at, Dynasty popped up. They also offer street parking so that is what sold me on this joint. Considering Boston's Chinatown looks pretty run down, you should never judge a book by it's cover. Walking in, this joint is really bright and clean. The young man working the register greeted us and got my daughter and I a table. The big list of food items was dropped off and we were ready to get the party started! We ordered a handful of things! It's been a while since we have had dim sum so we were ready to put in work. Our food was starting to slowly trickle out. We started off with the congee. It came out pretty fast since it was probably made earlier waiting to be served. Shortly after the rest of our dumplings were making their way to our table. The congee was simple, savory and comforting. It tasted like my childhood. The fried shrimp rolls were tasty, crispy and savory. I have had similar fried shrimp dumplings like this served with a sauce similar to walnut shrimp. That sauce would have been killer with these rolls. The long rice noodles were silky and filled with char sui. The sauce was more vinegar than sweet which is how I have normally had it. Still good! Har gaw and shu mai were fabulous once they dropped off soy and chili oil to dip them in. The turnip cake will always be one of my favorites. My daughter enjoyed the soup dumplings and the rice in lotus leaf. I was too full to try them. Customer service was ok. They got you what you needed but not a lot of exchange in conversation. I feel like most dim sum experiences are like that. The food was so good! I enjoyed every bit of it with my daughter. Parking might be free but very limited and challenging to find. I'm still happy we got to check this joint out and have a great meal here!

    Hei La Moon has been a longtime fixture in Boston's Chinatown and is one of the restaurants that…read moremany people associate with traditional cart-style dim sum. After moving from its original large dining hall to a newer location on Essex Street, the restaurant has a more modern and compact layout while still keeping the familiar dim sum experience. Even with the smaller space, it remains a busy spot, especially on weekend mornings when the dining room fills up quickly with groups looking for a classic dim sum meal. I came here for the traditional dim sum service, and the menu covers all of the staples you would expect. Dishes like shu mai, har gow, rice noodle rolls, and steamed pork buns were easy to find as the carts made their way around the dining room. There is something nostalgic about choosing dishes directly from the carts as they pass by, and it adds to the experience in a way that ordering from a menu cannot quite replicate. That said, I found the food itself to be a little inconsistent. Some dishes arrived fresh and enjoyable, while others felt like they had been sitting a bit longer before reaching the table. The familiar dim sum classics were satisfying enough, but the quality and flavors varied from plate to plate, making the overall meal less memorable than I had hoped. It was still an enjoyable way to sample a variety of dishes, but not every item stood out. The service matched the fast-paced atmosphere of a busy dim sum restaurant. Once seated, the meal moved along quickly as carts circulated through the dining room and staff kept everything running efficiently. During peak hours it can get loud and crowded, so it is worth arriving earlier if you prefer a quieter experience. Overall, Hei La Moon is still a recognizable part of Boston's Chinatown and offers the traditional cart-style dim sum experience that has become increasingly difficult to find. While I appreciated the atmosphere and the chance to enjoy classic dim sum in a longstanding neighborhood restaurant, I felt the food quality was inconsistent enough that I would probably explore some of the newer dim sum spots in Boston before returning.

We came for a family dinner and of course Grandma Ding was with us in her wheelchair. We only smashed into a few chairs in the big, crowded dining room. And fortunately other customers were understanding while the staff was helpful and accommodating. The small, curious child running around the dining room without parental supervision didn't get hurt when I ran him over. The menu was huge so it took a long time to order with Grandma asking questions about every item. I could see that the waitstaff was used to quick orders and rapid food delivery to the table, but the waiter remained kind and patient. He also repeated his answers loudly when she couldn't understand his English and because she didn't have her hearing aides turned up. We finally ordered a giant wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, a shrimp dish, and orange chicken; all to share. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. Grandma Ding did have to ask for the soup to be heated up because she likes it to be scalding. The dining room is worn and dishes were flying in and out as items were served and cleared. It's definitely a place for family meals, not one for an engagement proposal or romance. Perfect for our evening. Portions are generous and prices competitive with other restaurants in the area.

The chicken with cashews was bland and boring. We dined there with a good friend and commented about the great service - fast and efficient. As I mentioned, the portion size was significantly larger that most restaurants these days. The prices were a bit high, especially considering the barebones atmosphere - but this is Newton Center, and we expected this. In short, I won't return to Ding's - there are lots of better choices.
