    Shrimp
    Ashley H.

    Food was good, ambiance was good. Definitely gives grown and sexy. The food took a while, we went on a Saturday night it took about an hour and a half to receive the food. I would go back though!

    Mushroom fried rice
    Susan H.

    Of all the restaurants we tried during our recent trip to Boston, Mr. H was our favorite. My husband was skeptical about trying it as he thought some of the menu items were unusual. When he took a closer look, he saw that many items were worth trying. The ambiance definitely says "Chinese restaurant" in an upscale sort of way. Mr. H serves small plates (think "Chinese tapas"). We went on a weeknight when they open at 5 p.m. and were immediately seated and greeted. Our server was friendly, efficient, and well-versed regarding the menu. He told us that for two people, three to four small plates would be just right. We quickly found ourselves in agreement on which three items to order. There's a section of the menu that lists Polynesian-inspired items. From that section, we ordered "Crab Rangoons" which consist of: "charred scallion cream cheese, jalapeno, hot sweet and sour sauce, sesame". The Crab Rangoons were huge! Never have I seen any so big. We were given four of them. Despite having jalapenos in the mix, they weren't overly spicy, which was fine with us. They came to the table piping hot. We also ordered "chicken fingers," which were also listed in the Polynesian section of the menu. They consist of: "Bob Lee's batter, Mr. H duck sauce, Chinese hot mustard, Sichuan pepper salt". I guess that the batter got its name from the long-defunct Bob Lee's Islander, which was in Chinatown. These chicken fingers were quite plump. I remarked to my husband that they looked like little corn dogs. They, too, arrived piping hot. We both availed ourselves of the dipping sauces, all of which were quite good. For the third plate, we got "Mushroom fried rice" which consists of: "smoked basmati, king trumpet, wood ear and shiitake, ong choy (which I found out is also called "water spinach" in Mandarin Chinese) sprouts, eggs and Yuxiang garlic sauce." This rice was amazing. It was fluffy and moist with all the flavors working very well together. After we placed our order, our server asked if we would like some hot tea. I said "yes". At first, my husband said "no" because he had ordered a Tsingtao non-alcoholic beer. When I told him how much I was enjoying the Milky Oolong tea, he asked if we could share it - of course, we could and did. This is a very mild tea that has no bitterness. We both liked it so much that when we got home, we ordered some online. It just came today, and we look forward to brewing it. We didn't have any dessert so we can't speak to that. Both of us felt we had had enough to eat. We would gladly come back here next time we're in town. The restaurant prepares food for the eye as well as the palate.

    After a night of drinking, my friends wanted to eat here. It was my first time and I really love the decor (don't like it dark, but nice otherwise). Hien was super awesome, I asked her to pick out a drink for me, Hong Kong Tea. It was nice and strong. Then got me the Mushroom Cheung Fun, which I was afraid to be vegan for the night, but she added the Siu Mei Steak. This helped alot and really added flavor to the cheung fun (please make a steak version!). Definitely plan to be back, but early enough to see some light.

    Spicy cucumbers
    Danyel M.

    We were happy to get a last min rez for my hubby's birthday. It wasn't super crowded which we expected cause it was a Monday. Upon walking in the host was super friendly and the decor is striking. We were seated right away. It didn't take long for our server to offer us water. We ordered a couple of cocktails-they were tasty. The food options were interesting. We ordered the spicy cucumbers to start and they were delicious. For dinner we shared the house fried rice (I ordered the mushroom fried rice but they brought the wrong one and I didn't want to deal with it) and the chicken dumplings. My hubby ordered the lobster too. Everything was tasty. I ordered the cake to go and it was sooooo good. I'm giving Mr. H 4 stars cause of the service. It was pretty slow. I even had to ask for more water, I know - what a travesty. It seemed like there was one server for the entire restaurant although several staff were standing nearby. I get that the restaurant wasn't super busy but still. I did appreciate that we weren't rushed out of there tho. We would def go back again. When you're in the area, check it out for yourself. It's a pretty popular spot.

    Siu Mei Steak
    Connie L.

    Another beautiful concept from the COJE group! As expected, Mr H is stunning and very instagrammable. Service was great too. They were professional & kind. They do tapas-style plates, so we ended up trying the below: 1. Soup Dumplings ($21) - Damn good pork soup dumplings but you only get four unfortunately. Dumpling Sauce + Chili Oil combo was A+ though. 2. Spicy Cucumbers ($13) - Loved these! The sauce they were seasoned with was so good, and these cucumbers make a nice snack while sipping on a cocktail. 3. Popcorn Spareribs ($16) - Delicious! They're spicy, savory and crisped to perfection. 4. Siu Mei Steak ($28) - A tad dry but good condiments. Main issue is they give you 4 pieces of just okay steak for $28 which seems like robbery. Would not get this one again. 5. "Cake-Out" Box ($18) - one of the best slices of cake I've had in a while. The lychee & coconut flavors were divine, and the cake was so moist. Also, the concept of serving it in a take out box is so clever. 11/10. Overall, Mr. H is overpriced for what you get, but still a cool spot to try out.

    Hands down best dinner I had in Boston but you better reserve a seat if you're a party of more than 4 because they book up quick! Beautifully decorated on the inside you are sure to have an elevated experience. Servers are friendly and helpful. All of the food came out quickly and was served family style. There wasn't a dish we didn't like and we ordered a lot (so much that the waiter offered us a free dessert if we could finish)! Little did we know we had 3 pounds of noodles coming with the Cantonese fried chicken. Little did he know we were up for the challenge ha! From the scallion pancakes to the dumplings.m, everything was delicious. We finished our plates and had just enough room to try the dessert. I will definitely be back.

    The interior is beautiful, but I'm not sure if this place will last long. The food is awful. Popcorn Spareribs $16 Crispy boneless pork, jalapeno, crispy garlic, Sichuan pepper salt Juicy and soft, but over-tenderized, so it lost its pork flavor. It is similar to Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Oysters Mee Sua $19 Grilled Chatham Oysters, vermicelli wheat noodles, spicy bonito butter, basil & cilantro After one bite, big no no, that way too salty. When the waiter asked how the food was, we told him it was salty; he just took it away without asking for feedback. At least this dish was not added to our bill, and our waiter did not mention anything until we saw the bill. Chocolate Buddha $20 Dark chocolate oolong mousse, mochiko brownie, black sesame-cookies n' cream ice cream, fresh berries in hibiscus sauce, dark chocolate, red velvet pocky It is creative and nicely presented, but the black sesame ice cream was not smooth and lacked the distinct flavor of black sesame. The mousse lacked both chocolate and oolong flavors.

    Soup Dumplings
    Justin H.

    We had an early dinner at Mr. H and really had an amazing time! Very impressed by the upscale atmosphere and intricate décor--but still a welcoming environment. This is a good place to visit since it is modern and stylish with Asian flare. Prices could be better. Frank W. was our server, and he was amazing! He's super personable, gave great recommendations, and checked in on us regularly. He was also really funny. When we come back we hope we get to have him as our server again! Regarding the food--it was incredible. Everything was flavorful and made with fresh and high quality ingredients. We ordered several dishes including the Spicy Cucumbers (recommended by Frank--good rec!), Soup Dumplings, Pork Dumplings, Popcorn Spareribs, Duck Dan Dan Noodles, and the Cantonese Fried Chicken (comes with noodles and is a good portion to share with 3-4 people). For dessert, we got the Chocolate Buddha--it was fun and creative, but also delicious. The presentation was 10/10. Definitely recommend checking Mr. H out--it's a good spot for a night out!

    Dan Dan noodles
    Samantha C.

    Updating my review after having some difficulty cotacting the restaurant in the past. I was able to try Mr H, a member of my favorite restaurant group Coje, and overall it was pretty good. The drinks were pretty and enjoyable, and the scallion pancakes were delicious. Comparably, I agree with others that seasoning is a bit off on some items on the menu. While we enjoyed the fried rice, the soup dumplings lacked flavor and the dandan noodles were a bit too salty. What compensates for the food is the atmosphere and the staff. Our waitress was kind and courteous, and checked in with us several times. The interior is beautiful, and is perfect for dates and nights out with friends. Overall, I would come back for certain items on the menu but not others because I was hoping for a bit more "wow" given the price point and Coje's reputation.

    Dandan noodles
    Gloria L.

    If you're looking for vibes, this is the place to go. It's perfect for a nice out with your friends or a date, has mood lighting and great decor. The service was also really great. The only reason I didn't rate it higher was the food itself was overtly salty (Dandan Noodles) or had no flavor at all (pork dumplings). For the amount you're paying, I would hope for better tasting food. It's very overpriced, $18 for 4 mediocre dumplings. This is one of the only places that does late night food that we found in the area so we were grateful to eat. However, we won't be going there again unless it's for drinks

    Ambiance brought this review to close to 3 star. Once in a while you eat at an establishment, mind you seaport and higher end, but feel like you lost money and leave unsatisfied looking for another spot to eat at. The service was fine, they were busy on the weekend. We were seated promptly and staff were nice. On the order ticket Bobo bass - thought the seafood was the highlights, but expecting a fillet or steaks of seabass but got little cute cubes i suppose. Dandan noodz - MY goodness my goodness, the sodium was astronomical on this dish. Mind you I usually like things on the saltier side but this was just overboard. The duck sausage was like turkey sausage consistency ground up. And the sauce (usually chili oil and pb or something along those lines) was a salty, watery mess. Fried spareribs - reminds me of popcorn chicken. I'm very surprised that it wasn't crispy but had decent flavor Siu Mei steak cooked well, tough to cut thru with knife provided but flavor was pretty balanced. Honey prawns - liked the sweet chili sauce that came with it and the shrimp was cooked well but my goodness what is up with the fried batter here, everything collapsed to mush when you eat it no crunch or crispy at all. Spicy cucumbers - cucumbers seemed left out and prepped in the morning or something. Gyu Kaku spicy cucumber better. Wang shou wings- again fried crispy wings ...: NOT crispy unfortunately. The mushroom salt and excessive honey have a weird aftertaste to the dish. Celebration cocktail was pretty good. And drinks of the night (don't remember the names). All in was close to $350 with tip. Not worth it imo. Probably good for some folks tastebuds but for my party that evening it was a "no from me dawg." - Randy Jackson.

    Soup dumplings

    I think the reviews on this restaurant have been a bit harsh. I agree wholeheartedly that the prices are too high for what you get. I understand you're paying for the ambience but the portions are indeed pitiful. However the food is quite good in my opinion. I disagree with reviews saying the food was too salty or the pork was soggy. I'm also personally biased because I absolutely adored the takeaway cake!

Shanghai Classic Pork Pan-Fried Buns上海生煎饅頭: I was instantly hooked! It's hard to imagine finding such good pan-fried buns in the US. Almost every table ordered them, so they were all freshly made, piping hot. The bun was made with unleavened dough, making it chewy and refreshing, with a light, crispy bottom--not oily or hard. The meat filling was substantial and tender, with plenty of broth (see picture). It was sweeter than salty, incredibly umami. The chili oil was also very fragrant, and dipping it in Zhenjiang vinegar enhanced the flavor and cut through the greasiness. Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetable Noodle Soup雪菜肉絲麵: The noodles were thin and round, with a soft, mushy texture. While the noodles were clearly machine-made, this isn't a problem in the Yangtze River Delta region; the issue was likely overcooking. The shredded pork were well-stirred, with tender meat, but the noodles lacked flavor. They had to be eaten with the pickled mustard greens雪菜 to be slightly salty, and the umami flavor was severely diluted. The tableware is all disposable, and tipping is not mandatory. It's quite affordable.

Both Cantonese and Mandarin were seamlessly spoken. Shrimp Rice Roll / Egg: It looked very appealing. However, the soy sauce was ridiculously sweet, much sweeter than in China, completely exceeding the standard "umami and sweet" of the authentic Cantonese cheung fun腸粉 (rice roll) soy sauce. The cheung fun skin was somehow overcooked, so some parts without egg at the bottom were soggy from soaking in the soy sauce, making the whole roll quite greasy. I have to admire my culinary acumen: I managed to preserve most of the skin's basic texture with the extra egg. Fortunately, the shrimp were fresh enough, six in a serving, with a crispy texture. Oh well, since I'm in America, it's tolerable. I must say, I would never have come here specifically for this, never in my life. Spending $10+ on a plate of cheung fun after traveling so far, will make me feel more like a sucker than ever before!
