    Chicken in garlic sauce
    McDaniel H.

    April 2023: 5: I would recommend this Chinese restaurant location. I stopped by this restaurant location with my family to get an evening meal. It was suggested to me by another person at the nearby hospital that this location had decently priced food for the money, cash only. I walked down to this location with my family members to get the food. We were greeted upon entry into the restaurant which was small and just off to the side of the road in a little housing and business strip area. There were a few homeless people in the area along the way. The restaurant appeared to be clean and orderly upon our arrival inside to place our order. We waited about 15 minutes for five entrees to be prepared. It was of interest that all of the items came out hot and properly packaged so that we could get back to the vehicle without spilling any of the sauces in the packaging. I sampled each of the entrees we received and it was authentic along with the white rice packages that we received with the order. You would have to double park in the street in order to visit this location to pick up your food or to place an order.

    Lunch specials are $6.50 with tax

    The pepper steak at this place is delicious! It is a bit sad that the reviews don't reflect how good the food is. I have eaten both the pepper steak and the chicken fried rice and both of them were sooooo good. The last time I came in, I ordered the pepper steak during lunch hour and walked away in less than 10 minutes with a styrofoam container full of rice and peppers and onions for $6.50. Did I have enough food for lunch? Yes. Did I have enough food for a second serving? Why, yes I did. I wish this place as closer to work because if I was in a fix I would swing by here for the pepper steak lunch special. Just know that the place is tiny, there are 2 booths and that's it. I recommend you order this, pick it up, and take it to eat somewhere else and in case you didn't already know, they are cash only. Overall savory, cheap, substantial American Chinese food.

    This is a great spot for cheap, quick, and tasty takeout chinese food. Way better than other takeout or delivery options nearby in terms of price, quality, taste, and portion size. Also just FYI it's cash only

    New menu as of August 2015

    -1 star for no recent menus available + 1 star for delivery speediness - 1 star for quality of food + 1 star for quantity of food - 1 star for absolutely subpar crab rangoons ----------- 2 star rating Going off the photos of the menu from last year, I called in a delivery order last night. It arrived quickly but came out to far higher a total than I was expecting. On the other hand, there was SO much food in the dinner special box, it was overwhelming. With the order of crab rangoon I added, it didn't even look like I'd made a dent in the food at all. The food: - The crab rangoon was, sadly, tasteless. The wrapper to filling ratio was way off, nowhere near enough cream cheese. - The General Tso's chicken was spicy but flavourful. The coating was a tad soggy. - The boneless spare ribs were nice and thin so that you don't end up with big gobs of fat, which was great. - The pork lo mein was surprisingly non-greasy and the pork was nice and lean. It was a lot of food but it wasn't all that good. I probably wouldn't order again unless I was highly intoxicated.

    Here is the menu - page 1 (Dec 2014). I don't believe they have a website.

    Finally found a solid place for the kind of chinese food that you love, but makes you feel terrible about yourself for eating. We have a tried a number of places in chinatown, Yummee here in the south end only to be disappointed. This was cheap, fast delivery and GOOD! We ordered a bunch of stuff for $35 bucks and the portions are huge. Favorites were cashew chicken, sweet and sour chicken (comes with the normal red sweet and sour sauce with pineapple - not onion or pepper or random things that came from chinatown places), broccoli and garlic sauce, lo mein. Nothing tasted too greasy (even though I am sure it is) or had that film on the bottom of the container. My Tips: It is cash only, be prepared and delivery comes fast. Only order the small portions, I can't imagine what the quart portions are!

    Roast pork lo mein - not bad! Definitely less greasy than most Chinese takeout places in Boston.

    Recommended by my friend, this pan-fried bun生煎 place isn't far from MFA Boston. The little place is…read moreincredibly popular and well-known among Boston's Chinese student community. 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.

    First time seeing authentic Shanghai pan fried buns in US, I must say! From the look to the taste,…read moreI couldn't stop smiling, that's how it was supposed to be made! Highly recommend.

    Walking to the St. Mary's St station to wait for the train, I looked up and saw Li Yin Rice Roll…read moreacross the street! I instantly teleported to the shop to show my support. 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!

    Great Hong Kong dining experience!…read more Located in Brookline on Beacon Street with abundant street parking, Liyin is a great walk-in option for breakfast lunch or dinner. They specialize in rice rolls with different fillings as well as porridge with a variety of toppings. We tried multiple items and I especially enjoyed the Shrimp Rice Roll! We also tried the Beef Chow Fun which was great and very flavorful. We also tried the Pineapple Fried Rice which was incredible! I don't usually like fried rice or pineapple but I really loved this dish--highly recommend. My friends also loved the Soybean Milk which comes out piping hot and sweet. Overall would definitely come back for a quick and yummy meal.

Beef and tripe was very well seasoned and no weird taste at all. The duck blood is the best duck blood in Boston, very tender and delicious.

Limited street parking out front, but there are more street metered parking on the side street (next to the green line). The restaurant is much smaller than the Weymouth location, and the menu selection is also different. The server asked me to scan the QR code on the table for the menu, so I'm not sure if they have a paper menu. You can place the order directly via the QR code. I requested one dish to be non-spicy, and they were able to accommodate that. The only thing was that both dishes were a little bit too salty than my liking. I came here during a weekday lunch, and it wasn't super busy. I would return again.
