Their website promised pickup in 20 minutes. I left the The Heldrich Hotel and made the ten minute walk, only to find my order already being bagged. Efficiency like that gives a person hope. Hope, as it turns out, is fragile. Back in the room, I opened the containers immediately. Spicy beef noodles with hand pulled noodles in a beef and pork broth, along with steamed pork soup dumplings that had been spoken of with reverence online. The dumplings were cold. Not warm, not cooling. Cold, like they had been waiting longer than I had. They had fused together into a single tragic mass. When I tried to separate them, the dough tore open and the soup filling spilled out into the container, abandoning its purpose. How this happened during a ten minute walk is a mystery. The more likely answer is that it did not. The noodles were at least hot. The flavor was fine. Not offensive, not memorable, just present. You eat it, and it disappears from your mind almost immediately. This is a place people seem to love, which makes the experience feel like a clerical error in the matrix. Perhaps it was an off night. Perhaps I caught them at the exact wrong moment, but on this particular evening, dinner felt less like a meal and more like a misunderstanding.

The dumpling skin was super crisp, filling was juicy and flavorful! 4.5/5 Shengjianbao -- super fluffy with a crisp bottom, filling was great too, could have been more generous. 3/5 Original Crossing Bridge Noodle Soup -- the pork broth here was done better than their chicken broth, and the variety of toppings was nice. 2.5/5 Chicken Rice Noodle Soup -- I order this quite regularly at many other "crossing bridge noodle" spots but unfortunately cannot recommend this here. The broth had this unpalatable flavor and poultry odor. The chicken meat was also very dry.

I highly recommend the hot and spicy Szechuan broth with beef ($16). It is super flavorful and has a mighty kick to it. The beef was also perfectly tender. The noodles picked up a lot of the flavor. I also tried the original broth with fatty beef slices ($14), which was good! the flavor of the pork broth is much more subtle though, so my preference is the Szechuan one.

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the no-frills vibe with Canto-pop playing in the background instantly transported me back to Hong Kong. The food is phenomenal. Their shrimp wontons are easily some of the best I've ever had--massive, flavorful, and packed with shrimp. You also absolutely must try their dry noodles (lo mein). I had the chili tomato sauce with shredded pork, and it was pure nostalgia; it tasted exactly like what I grew up eating as a kid. The curry fish balls are also a standout--plump, bouncy, and perfectly seasoned. We didn't get a chance to try the pork knuckles or beef brisket this time, but they looked amazing, so we'll definitely be back for those. If you're looking for authentic Hong Kong noodles, this spot hits all the right marks

We got the Saucy Ribs and the Moo Daeng Moo Krob (BBQ Pork) and both were incredible. The ribs were tender and packed with flavor, while the BBQ pork and crispy pork belly combo with the egg and rice was seriously just so good. We also ordered the calamari and it was EXTRA crispy with the perfect sweet-and-sour sauce. May I dare say it may be the best calamari in Somerville. The atmosphere is always such a good vibe and the servers are so nice.

Khao Soi serves with rice noodle instead of egg noodle. Curry is good. Shrimp pad thai is on the sour side more than sweet. Not bad. Duck noodle is ok. Doesn't have much of the herbal flavor but is more of the clear noodle soup. Pork noodle is also ok. A bit weird with the lettuce in it. Chicken satay is good. The meat is not too dry and not burnt. All in all - the portions are ginormous!! And would visit again.

Hands down the main reason why I keep coming back here a lot. But in all seriousness, we also enjoy their soup dumplings or as they call it, "juicy buns" and shumai with a side of steamed bokchoy. They have such a unique take with dim sums/dumplings that I can honestly appreciate. I also love love love their chili oil that is readilg available on the table. The restaurant ambiance is nice with good seating. The servers here has been consistently kind and accommodating. I look forward to coming back.

The cucumber salad could have been better though, but let's move on; for such an establishment, I was hoping that they had enough utensils and cups to serve. I came here a handful of times, this last time would probably be the last for awhile. We sat down and we were not served with water until we have gotten our meal. We have asked them a few times to refill water as well. Seems like their servers didn't want to serve. On top of that, during hot weather... Please turn up the AC, I was extremely uncomfortable eating hot foods while sitting in 80 degrees temperatures. I hope they update their units. Since winter is fast approaching, this is probably not a priority but I hope that they read their review of this and take it to heart.

I got the enhanced version and it was two full meals. It was loaded with fried tofu skin, pickled bamboo shoots, pickled string beans, tofu puffs, beef, peanuts, and vegetables. For appetizers, I recommend the tripe in spicy chili oil. Wow, the tripe was light and smooth and not too spicy. I could eat many dishes of this. This shop is a bit unassuming and looks like a hole in the wall. The staff don't really speak English so you will have to just point at the menu to order what you want. Don't expect amazing service, but the food is cheap and delicious and very generous in portion.
