    Strawberry water, just strawberry flavored syrup in water.

    Bruh, I gotta stop trusting things that claim to be good in the name. This was the biggest misrepresentation of this place. I had the tasty 3. Order 3 meats and two sides. I got Chunk brisket, ribs, and pulled chicken. My sides were collard greens and baked beans and did a side order or Mac and cheese. It was delivery but don't think that makes a difference. So 1 a side order is 5$ they put the Mac and cheese on my plate and no collard greens and I was still charged for the side. The baked beans taste more like chili beans and if you like southern bbq you know how disappointing this must be. The Mac and Cheese has a weird cooked cheese wiz taste. My meats. Can't tell you what that tasted like. They mixed it all in one. All on top of eachother, You couldn't tell what was what except the rib which was ok. They didn't add bbq sauce to any of it. So luckily I had some at home. I ordered a strawberry lemonade which honestly tasted like strawberry syrup in water. Waste of money, I couldn't continue eating it, killed my whole appetite

    Got pick-up from here. I wasn't sure what to expect based on the mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The beef brisket platter was FANTASTIC, even after I reheated it. It was super juicy, tender, and flavorful. The mac & cheese I got on the side was also delicious - perfectly creamy and topped with crispy bread crumbs. I also got steamed broccoli, which was solid. My platter (1 meat, 2 sides) was around $13, not bad considering how much food there was! My boyfriend got the pulled chicken platter. It wasn't bad, but the beef brisket was much better. Cherry on top? They offer a variety of sauces you can take to-go! I'll definitely be back.

    The food was great. I ordered Crispy Pork Belly with fries. It was unbelievably good. I split it into two meals.

    Chopped brisket (tasty but fatty), pork ribs (tender but salty), mac and cheese (gritty, not creamy), and collard greens.

    First of all, set your expectations as this is BBQ in a mall food court. That said, the staff was friendly and helpful, but the food was about what you'd expect. If you think 80/20 beef is way too lean, this may be the place for you. The pork ribs and chopped brisket were both very tender...fall off the bone ribs, not competition BBQ. Unfortunately, the chopped brisket was too fatty and the rub on the ribs was overly salty. The mac and cheese was gritty, but the greens were pretty decent. The portions were fair, and nothing was bad, but I gave it a try due to a Groupon and it's not likely food that I'd return for given other options in the area.

    Pulled chicken sandwich !

    Pulled chicken is good, love the toasted roll , love the potato salad and BBQ beans all on point !

    I wanted to try this place because of the good reviews. A few times I had tried to get in early…read moreand even though the hours say they open at 9am, they really open at 11am. We got a table for two and we ordered a 3-BBQ meat and rice plate and a Beef Chow Fun. Both were ok. The size of the meat and rice plate was a bit smaller than Hong Kong eatery in my opinion. The beef chow fun was average, not too oily, not bad, but just average. The staff was busy but attentive. They do have a large selection of other authentic dishes like clay pots, crabs, fish, etc. Many people just come here for take out.

    I read positive reviews about the Saugus and Andover locations, so I thought I would visit the…read moreBoston Chinatown spot. Convenient Chinatown main district location near the excellent bakeries next door I visit for Chinese pastries . I saw a picture of the meat combo of duck, char sue, pork belly, white rice, hot Vegetables. I ordered the combo, an appetizer of pan fried dumplings. Nice Asian restaurant environment, but not a spot to enjoy a lengthy dinner with soothing music ambience or sipping hot tea... a busy no nonsense kitchen type eating place with yelling, bone chopping. The hanging appetizing cooked ducks, pork, chicken creates the vibe of a China town experience. Quick service, nice hot tea in kettle offering. The combo meat platter was cold slices of meat , rice a bit cold too. Vegetables fresh, hot but needed more . The duck meat was boney and not much duck meat or select pieces. Char sui was salty , few pieces. The pork belly was very good and needed more. I didn't compare my combo picture with the one I saw from 1 year ago and mine looks 1/2 the quantity of meat and vegetable.. the pic last year displays beefy pieces vs. my meat that looks like my animals are starved before preparing for my plating. I understand inflation reduced portions , but I would rather have last year's picture at a higher price. The pan fried dumplings not impressed as had much better elsewhere. These were too doughy and not a nice flavor or texture. I didn't see anything to be impressed with my dining outing and nothing to be offended by with either except boney malnourished duck pieces of cold meat . Other noodle dishes, rice dishes I saw other diners order were fresh hot and definitely appealing, abundant and worthy to try. Maybe the combo was a bad choice and a just a hot duck dish may have been better option here... clearly the hanging food was freshly prepared. Prices were fair , my waitress , server very pleasant , clean restaurant and no issues with that. I might look to try the hot duck at the other locations with a bit better expectations for ambiance and conversational luncheon environment. The baked egg custard pastry, creme coffee sponge cakes after for desert were excellent from bakery down the street.
