Tofu skin wrap is very delicious; Youtiao (油條）is definitely recooked, not freshly made; the wontons in wonton soup has good flavor, but too much wrapping. Service was ok, there is room for improvement in cleanness. It's a lovely location with display of fresh seafood. read more

Super underrated dimsum spot in Chinatown! Definitely worth checking out, especially if your go-to place is packed with a long line. This is a no-fuss solid restaurant, and you order off a sheet. It's cozy and I love how much light comes in during the day. The food was delicious- I thought everything tasted authentic and exactly what I was craving! read more

Terrible experience! If you don't give them the amount of tip they expect, the staff will chase after you to demand more. If you refuse, they will literally kick you out. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Avoid this place! read more

Excellent and attentive service for sure. Ordered 4 items. 1. Singapore rice noodles with curry sauce Curry smell overpowering this dish and makes it hard to enjoy. Not spicy though 2. Pork and shrimp with chives dumplings Ingredients tastes good but not the skin as it like musky or powdery skin 3. Radish cake Disappointed as looks delicious yet it's also mushy 4. House special roast pork bun Favorite of all time. Came hot and delicious. Recommend. read more

Amazing food, but not very good service. We asked the waiter to help us take a group photo, we asked three times, he was right there collecting plates and putting on new dishes, but he pretend didn't heard us at all. It was very weird and kind of ruined our happy ambiance a little. We were there to have a good time, not taking attitude from a grumpy server. The food was absolutely delicious. But let's be honest, there are a lot of great Chinese food in this area, to stand out needs good dinning environment or good services. The environment is limited by being very popular, it was crowded and loud. But the service can be a little bit more friendlier. If he responded he's busy or even don't provide photo taking service is fine, but completely ignore customers is very impolite and embarrassing. The 4 stars are for the delicious food and other very busy but very kind kind servers. You can see in the photos all the dishes are absolutely scrumptious. I will go back to try it again, maybe during a time it's not too busy. Hopefully next time will be a better experience. read more

Fun fact: Boston's Chinatown is the last standing Chinatown in New England! My parents love visiting Chinatowns when they're on vacation, so a trip to Boston wouldn't be complete without it. We stumbled upon Jumbo Seafood and thought they weren't open at first (hours incorrect on Yelp), but saw another party walk through! We got an assortment of dim sum. All tasty! The shrimp dumplings in particular were large and plump! Just a FYI: we tried to order chow fun and pea shoots but were told those items weren't available until 11am, so it seems in the early morning hours it's limited to the steamed and fried dim sum only. Service as expected at a Chinese restaurant: curt but got us what we wanted when asked. At $75 including tip for 4 people, this was a great value! read more

Jumbo Seafood Restaurant - Dim sum! - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Pure-blooded Chinese, here, and I can wholeheartedly say that Jumbo's one of the better restaurants in Boston's Chinatown. The food is especially delicious, with some unique dishes that you definitely won't find in any other place! Service and ambiance are just about the same as any other Chinese restaurant, which, if you don't know, is something we don't really pay to much attention towards. The Yu choy in supreme broth with garlic; you know, it was fine. Nothing to write home about. It honestly just tasted like any other vegetable dish; fibrous, leafy, but HOLY was it expensive! The stir fried silver fish, though, chef's kiss! Thin slivers of fried silver fish deliver concentrated seafoody flavors that just work extremely well with the fragrant, aromatic chives and vegetables. The jellyfish added a fun snappy texture that I personally enjoyed. Finally, the star of the show: that MASSIVE seafood coconut "paella." First off, that thing was DELICIOUS! Tons of seafood, from clams to shrimp, enveloped in a thick, coconut sauce that was almost like a gravy, all served with a generous portion of rice mixed with salted egg yolk. This could honestly feed 3 to 4 people! This is absolutely something you must order. While it's nothing like a paella, it works well as a seafood stew/curry that is just bursting with flavors from the sea. Also, for around $36 for that massive dish??? With all that seafood, too??? STEAL!!! read more

We came here expecting a greater selection of seafood such as scallops, oysters, lobster and such but we were disappointed to not find steamed oysters, scallops and the lobster tank looked empty. The service is abysmal. I had to flag someone to take our order and to pay. We order the fish fillet and tofu casserole and stir fried on-choy. The on-choy was fine. The casserole was on the salty side and the tofu was fried and deflated which suggests that it is old. The fish fillet is heavily battered which we would not have ordered if we had known. I was leaning towards not tipping him because he really didn't wait on our table but I didn't want to be hassled so I tipped meagerly at the risk of being harassed. I'm pretty sure they charge for tea even though you don't ask for it. Each bowl of rice is $2. The ambiance is fine but the food quality, inattentive service and lack of fresh seafood menu selections left me disappointed. You are much better off going to Gaga Seafood which is a block away. This was a regrettable miss for us. read more

The food, I do not know. The Ambiance, probably ok. The service, absolutely horrible. So I posted this review on google and this is what that person replied and he is the owner of the restaurant. No wonder I was shocked that how can the owner hired someone like him. It makes sense now since he is the owner, I bet he won't hire himself as an employee. Anyway, here is the brief review I posted on google: "At January 11th 12:54pm I wanted to ordered a walnut shrimp, a dude pickup the phone and doesn't seem to understand what I was saying. Maybe it was a signal problem, who knows. That said, instead of asking for clarity, he just hung up. I called back and asked for walnut shrimp, he said okok and hung up. I called again to confirm if he actually ordered it, he impatiently said "yea yea I did." How would I know if you did, because normally you would give the price and time but he just said "yea yea, I did." impatiently. I wouldn't want to be there and have my order not ordered. Also, with this poor customer service, I wouldn't be surprised if he would spit on your food. Therefore decided to order from someplace else." After I posted this review, 16 hours later, he replied "I confirmed the order with you and said will be ready about 15 mins. You called back and asked for your order was already send. I said yes and told you picked up 15 mins, you never asked for how much and only asked for cash discount. I said no and you just hanged up the phone. You didn't come to pick up the order and I tried to call you to pick up the order and you don't even bother to answer my call. Now you complained about our service..You are such an idiot. " First of all, he hung up twice on me. Second of all, I hung up because I wouldn't want to hear his impatient voice somewhat yelling at me. I am a customer, I don't want to be treat it that way. This whole time, I remained nice and polite. Lastly, even with the all unpleasant experience, I simply stating the fact without calling people name such as idiot. What kind of restaurant customer service called people name, especially I remained nice and polite all this time and you just hung up on me twice. I don't have to say much, as you can see the way he talks to customer. Shrug* FYI, I just realized this is my first 1-star review. Maybe their food tastes good, which could explain why the owner has such an ego. That said, I don't care how good the food is; I shouldn't be treated like crap, no one should. Perhaps he's the owner of several big restaurants and is used to compliments, so he feels entitled to act however he wants. Maybe I just happened to call when he was in a bad mood, and he took it out on me. Plus he is used to verbal abuse and personal attack to others without any consequences, that is why he could even called people names as the representative of the restaurant in the review. Lastly, I asked about the cash discount in the first and second calls (which he hung up on me twice,) not the third. In the third call, I simply wanted to confirm my order. Also, I did asked for how much on the first call. Anyway horrible, horrible experience. read more

We came here for 猪肚鸡. It's not bad. They cooked it in a pot on the table and then took out the ingredients so that they were not over cooked. They also have sauce for dipping. I would prefer they put a bit more white pepper and a bit more 猪肚. For half a chicken it's more than $50. So it's not cheap. We then ordered 蒜蓉粉丝蒸贵妃蚌. It's a bit overcooked and it's a bit bland. The 鱼香茄子 is not 鱼香茄子 at all. The dish tastes sour. They probably added too much black vinegar. The service is good, but the food is ok. read more

Before going to a concert, I visited Jumbo Seafood for a quick dim sum fix for a late Sunday brunch. The restaurant was packed. Small and congested but clean. Surprisingly, all of the dishes we ordered came out at once. We ordered standard dim sum dishes, such as har gao, shumai, chicken feet, and shrimp dumplings. Everything was pretty good, no complaints. It's good to note that after 4 PM, there is a $1 increase charge for every dish. I think Jumbo Seafood is solid for a small group for dim sum but not for a large party. They also serve traditional Chinese dishes as well. Although the food took awhile to come out, the servers were attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. I would return! read more

Jumbo Seafood Restaurant - dim sum spread - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First, I must say this is some of the best dim sum, fresh out of the kitchen, everything was tasty but not salty. Restaurant ambience was nice and clean. However, areas of improvement, one: employee showing up on time for a 10am opening, two: order of food coming out. There was some confusion between the two servers where our food was ordered first and it got sent to another table hence we waited another 20 minutes until our last two plates came. Beware parking in Chinatown is a hit or miss you can get lucky and find a free spot or you will circle around for a longgg time. Also the price was cheap, we paid about $90 after taxes and tip. However, we will come back for the food and hope they have figured out the rest. read more

When you come here, you have to order the authentic Chinese food! So skip the sesame chicken. I've eaten here a few times and their seafood is very fresh. Their lobster, Vancouver crab, eel and even shrimp are live in the tanks you see when you walk in. The food tastes great but occasionally, a dish or two can be a little salty for my liking. My favorite dishes are the steamed oysters with black bean and scallions, salt & pepper calamari, seafood vegetable on a taro nest, and Chinese style steak. read more

Food: Everything was truly DELICIOUS! Their seafood dishes were cooked to perfection, also their fried rice was also good (with chili sauce).

After innovation, they have changed a lot. Brand new courses are provided. The service is improved. Seafood curry rice really amazed me. It's not your everyday Indian curry. The curry tastes light and smooth with a fresh seafood flavor. The shellfish and other live seafood are highly recommended as well. Nothing to complain, just 5* rating. read more

Absolutely STAY AWAY FROM THIS VERY DECEITFUL RESTAURANT!! This restaurant will penny pick you to death and will unethically charge you for things you are not aware if you are not careful!! CHECK YOUR BILL CAREFULLY before paying!! They asked us when we got seated what we would like to drink, and we said we just want water. Well, unlike other restaurants that give you free water, they charged us $2 + tax! What a rip off for tap water!! When we told the guy waiter that we were not told ahead of time that we would be charged for plain water, he screamed at the top of his lungs with the restaurant full of other customers that we are being cheap!! How disrespectful and shameful of his behavior to act like we stole something when all we requested was that they let customers know ahead of time if they are to be charged for something beforehand. Also, being called a seafood restaurant, we wanted to come for some fresh seafood, but after looking at the dirty looking water the fishes were swimming in, we decided it was best to not eat the fishes and lobsters in their tank with dirty water, so we ordered other dishes on the menu. Food is ok, but people like servers and everyone in there are EXTREMELY rude! WE WILL DEFINITELY NEVER RETURN HERE AGAIN! read more

We have peanut and treenut allergy and I am always cautious dining out at asian restaurants. The manager there understood food allergies and went out of her way to make sure there weren't any cross contamination. She even had the cooks use new oil!! I was amazed at their service! Food was delicious!~ We got the Peapod stem in minced garlic, Walnut shrimp without the walnut, sweet and sour pork for kids, and the yangchow fried rice. Everything we had were sooo fresh and good! We have been going to this place for over 20 years (10 years living in boston area and 10 years visiting every couple years), and even under different management, its kept its same yummy taste! read more

Stopped by for a quick dim-sum. The lady in the front was really nice, but the waiter that served us completely forgot about our order, we waited for over 30mins to get served and it took use forever to hail down the servers. The food was decent, the best dish was the fried Buddha delight, siu mai, and stuffed eggplant. Love that their hot sauce is actually really spicy also. The chicken feet wasn't as flavorful, shrimp rolls rice roll was too thick, and the shrimp and taro cake was sour. I thought it was me, so I had my cousin try it and she said it was sour also. I try to tell the waiter it was sour but she immediately shot it down saying that it was impossible. Don't think I'll ever come back for dim sum ever again. read more

I have frequented new jumbo seafood a bunch of times so this review was well overdue. They have excellent seafood everything is alive and swimming around in the tanks you can basically pick your own dinner. They even have jumbo clam. One of my favorite is the steamed scallop. What I just found out is there open late night they stay open till 3:30 in the morning every day. And they offer the full menu the entire time. The staff is quick and courteous the food comes out extremely fast that definitely moving back there in the kitchen. Prices are reasonable. Cleanliness I give it about a three which is a proximately average for all of the restaurants in Chinatown lol. I Give Jumbo Seafood a Solid 4 Stars. read more

We got dim sum to go and ate in the park across the street. They were very nice. The dishes we got were yummy for sure. The packaging was largely styrofoam which I hate. The steamed rice in lotus leaf was a huge portion. The fried dough wrapped in rice noodle was one of the best I've had. They didn't have a chef who could do noodle dishes when I went at 9:30am which was a bummer. Also they struggled a bit with getting credit cards to work... still a solid choice for dim sum! read more
