A unsuspecting hole in the wall downstairs in the basement of a chinatown building offering some of the best Chinese food with the typical mediocre/borderline rude service. Their best dishes are the emperors chicken and braised tofu. Like many restaurants there are some hits and misses, but the empires chicken and braised tofu are home runs. read more

Wing's Kitchen is a family-favorite of ours! This place is a little hole in the wall, but the food is so delicious. It's usually the same server every time and he's always so nice. Their Soy Sauce Chicken is the best. Very moist and marinated to perfection. We also always get their Sweet & Sour pork and Ong Choy (chinese water spinach). When you combine these with a bowl of their fragrant rice it's simply amazing. If you're looking for an authentic spot to take your family to, Wing's Kitchen never disappoints. read more

This place is a small hole in the wall with about 8 tables between the first and second floor. My family has been coming here for many years and often come here to buy chicken for takeout. The servers are usually quick and I appreciated the fact that the waitress helped stir our claypot rice when bringing it to our table and served each of us. Their lap mei fan (preserved meat claypot rice) is very good and comes in small, medium or large depending on how big your group is. Gui fei gai (empress chicken) was decent, but a bit tough and not really a favorite of mine personally even though they are generally known for their whole chickens in various preparations. Their dau miu (pea shoots with garlic) was okay, but the garlic flavor did not really come through. Mui choy kau yuk (braised pork belly with preserved veggies) was quite salty and not as tender as I'd expect, but it had a lot of lean meat relative to the fat. The satay ngau yuk (satay beef) was flavorful, but somehow all of their pieces of beef were small and fragmented as opposed to bigger slices of beef that you typically get from this dish. Overall, I generally like this place, but it definitely isn't the same flavor wise as it once was from what I remember. Perhaps their cooks have changed over the years, but it is still an authentic restaurant with solid Canto cuisine. read more

YUM YUM YUMMY should be the name of this restaurant. This is down-right my Chinese mother's cooking if I had a Chinese mother. My co worker recommended this place, (he's Chinese), and I'm glad we came here. All the food was expected and more. My favorite was that Salted Fish & Chinese Sausage Clay Pot Rice! 11/10!!! The service is quick. The food came out at a good time. We didn't wait long. Nothing fancy about the interior. But, we came here for some Chinese soul food! Love It! I'll be back for that salted fish clay pot. read more

Wing's Kitchen is another place in Chinatown that offers clay pot rice! They offer a smaller size that is great for one or two people and also a large size that is perfect for family sharing. We come here for family dinner gatherings every so often and usually get a table upstairs. We brought a sea bass fish that my uncle caught from earlier in the day and they were able to cook it for us, for a small fee. The food is pretty consistent and yummy for Cantonese Chinese food. Highly recommend for family dinners or if you just wanna grab a clay pot rice for lunch!! read more

Very disappointing experience. We ordered one porridge for takeaway during off-peak hours, yet the service was unprofessional and rude. The staff member openly complained about our order to familiar customers in Cantonese, saying that only ordering one porridge for takeaway was "a waste of his time," while giving us an unfriendly look. Unfortunately for him, I understand Cantonese, so I clearly knew what was being said. We were then left waiting for about 10 minutes with no explanation, even though the food appeared to be ready. Only after I asked how much longer we needed to wait did he finally bring the porridge out from the kitchen. As travelers visiting Boston, this kind of disrespectful and discriminatory behavior left a very bad impression. Food is not just about taste -- basic courtesy and professionalism matter. I would not recommend this place based on our experience. read more

I ordered a fish dish expecting a fair portion of fish, but after thoroughly checking, it was mostly vegetables. This feels misleading and like a cost-cutting move at the expense of quality. read more

This place is consistently my go to when I come to Chinatown. I know the 3.5 star rule but trust me when I say the food is probably so good that it fully deserves at least 4 stars. The place can get crowded fast since it's small but the wait is usually quick and they set up a table for us the last time we were there. Staff can get really busy but once they notice you they'll help immediately! I wouldn't come here on a date but definitely bring a group of friends! read more

A hidden gem for amazing Chinese food in Chinatown! While Wing's Kitchen seems like an extremely small place to eat in, do not be deceived. I learned they can fit large groups! When you come down the stairs, you'll see a small layout, BUT there's another set of stairs to go up to more large tables!! For 9 people, we ordered 7 dishes to share as family style and we were full by the end: * Beef Chow Foon Dry (Dried fried beef flat noodles) - good wok air for a well-distributed stir fry and smoky taste! * Eggplant w/ Salted Fish Sauce - had that good kind of "stink"/aroma and taste, and can order the non-salted fish if you can't do smelly food ;) * Veal Chop w/ Black Pepper Sauce - we ordered veal strips because we were too lazy to bite around the bones and this was perfect! * Dried Sauteed String Beans * Sweet & Sour Pork * Pork Chop w/ Spicy Pepper Salt * Three Delights (Shredded Chicken & Pork w/ Bean Sprouts) Egg Noodles Overall, the food is up to the standards of what I'd expect in an authentic Chinese restaurant! Pricing-wise, it's GREAT - only $16-17 per person with what we ordered for that much food. Service is your typical Chinese restaurant service - they get the job done! My party sat at one of the three tables on the second floor and maybe because of that, fewer waiters came up to check in on us. At the same time, that made it seem more of a private room for us. The second floor could totally be a space for a larger group event (with reservation of course)! I would come back for some great Chinese food at an affordable price with a large group of people to share different dishes! read more

Thrilled to have discovered this old school place on Hudson street near the Chinatown gate. We ordered well and enjoyed 3 dishes, and it was far too much for the two of us, good for future meals at home. --Eggplant with spicy garlic sauce and we added braised tofu--extremely savory with mushrooms and black fungus and green bell pepper mixed throughout this deliciousness --Shrimp with rice noodles and bok choy, a great smoky undertone, and chewy rice noodles --Braised green beans One star off only because of a super long wait for our food. Happy to find Wings and I hope that it will be consistently flavorful for future visits. read more

AWESOME Food. I love this place. Huge Portions, Great price. BEWARE, If you use your credit card, the line item shows up as "NEW WINGS KITCHEN CHICAGO" which almost caused me to reverse the charge for fraud. They need to change this. read more

10/10. Get the clay pot dish, clams, fried small white fish, or the lobster. So delicious and authentic. If you haven't had cantonese food in Boston, you gotta check this spot out. Been going here since I was a little child. Staff is super friendly and I appreciate their kindness and hospitality towards everyone. Restaurant also has 2 floors which is nice because you can bring larger groups. read more

Unpretentious non-bougie authentic Chinese food my parents would enjoy. Large portions at reasonable prices in the heart of Chinatown. Decor is the real deal, there is none. The servers were helpful at suggestions and very attentive, even late at night. While speaking Cantonese is helpful and Toi-San scores you bonus points, if you don't know what to order, just ask for suggestions and enjoy your meal. read more

Yummy princess chicken, sizzling pot beef rice. Bit of a hole in the wall but legit. Friendly service.

Ordered takeout on Sunday. Almost every table was occupied by the time we picked it up on a Friday afternoon so they had us wait at a table right by the kitchen. Only took an additional 5 minutes before they kindly finished with it. We shared a corn and chicken soup (medium), pan fried yellow noodles with pork, and an entire chicken with scallion and ginger oil. I loved the soup since I'm a sucker for corn. They gave us a large container and a smaller containers worth, so I presume a large version would be two large containers. Pan fried noodles were perfectly crispy in a separate styrofoam container while the gravy with pork and vegetables with in another large container. Since we had just picked it up, it was hot enough to pour directly over and soften the noodles. Chicken skin was well salted that it didn't really need the scallion and ginger oil. Overall, I was very happy with my experience as it came out to about $60. Definitely a hole in the wall considering it's in the basement of a building in Chinatown. I recommend others to check them out! read more

For a quick, late weeknight dinner I stopped by Wing's kitchen. I received seating, ordered, and received my order within 5 minutes. This time, I ordered the Beef Brisket with Bean Curd Sheet over Rice / 枝竹牛腩飯 ($11.95). Everything arrived hot out the of the kitchen; nothing seemed to have sat under heat lamps. Otherwise, the beef seemed decently tender and the pan sauce did not seem overly salted or oily. Overall, it made for a quick and homely dish with a decent portion size. Lastly, it maintains a decent value proposition at under $12. 4* With prompt but minimal service, staff that barely speaks English, local children doing homework on one of the unused tables, the establishment evokes the local mom-and-pop and OG Chinatown vibe. read more

Total homestyle Chinese Restaurant vibe in a good way. Owner hustles and gives good recommendations for food, including letting you know when you have enough ordered. Beef with ginger juice claypot rice was on point and so was the braised egg tofu dish. Enjoyed eggplant and veggie of the day. I would back here for the vibe and the food in a heartbeat. read more

Wing's Kitchen is tucked in a small basement unit on Hudson St in Chinatown. For those unfamiliar with Hudson St, it is a narrow one way street with parallel parking on BOTH sides of the street. There is a steep set of steps leading you down from the street level into the restaurant. This location is NOT handicap accessible. The staircase has a sharp 90 degree turn in it. There are about 5 tables when you immediately walk in. There is also a staircase that leads to an upstairs where there are more tables but I was told there is NO exit there. If you decide to come here, you come for the food and NOT the experience. Think bare bones, old and basic - from pretty much any table, you can hear and see into the kitchen doorway. If you do decide to come for the food, I would recommend the Empress Salted Chicken. It is well seasons and the chicken meat is very soft and tender. It was the first dish we were served and it was spectacular. Note that the cost of eating in house vs take out are different. It is more expensive to order it when you dine in. After the chicken, everything was pretty much downhill from there. We also got the following: Sweet and Sour Pork: Every piece was just fat, there were maybe 3 pieces that had meat in them. Would avoid at all costs. Minced Pork with Lam-Toy and String Bean: The green beans lacked flavor and the sauteed pork that was served with it had all types of tendons/bones ground into it. If you're looking to hit up your dentist for a cracked or chipped tooth, this would be your dish! Beef Chow Foon Dry: The wok was most likely too hot when they started making this dish therefore the majority of the noodles had burnt marks on them. The dish came out smelling like smoke :( TLDR; Just get the Empress Salted Chicken to go and skip the rest of the dishes. read more

Located kind of in a funky spot, you have to go downstairs in some narrow and steep steps. They're known for their chicken so make sure to get it. We chose the $9 chicken rice, lots of rice, but not good rice. The chicken alone is worth the bucks, in my opinion. We also had the beef and turnip stew in clay pot. Flavor was good but not cooked into the turnip. The beef was tough and shouldn't have been because it's the belly part of the cow. If lucky, you'll find more tendon in the pot and that had the next taste and texture of the entire dish. We also shared a bowl of vegetable soup. I suspected the stock is from cooking the chicken plus I wanted more veggies. It was alright and only $1.99 for a pretty good sized bowl. Service is what you would expect from a typical Chinatown restaurant. 3.5 stars. read more

For over 25 yeas we have been coming in or ordering out from a lovely non owner waitress Sue Ling. Past few years durng construction we have phone ordered low salt, no bones, rice plates for lunch, dinner. Difficult to understand order this time delivered empress chicken with skin, bones, and salt not edible for an 88 year old. Ad on prices for each item we wanted in the rice plate ended up with 50% price increase from one month ago. Needless to say that is the end. read more

Okay, admittedly, Wing's Kitchen is sort of a hole in the wall in Chinatown. It is a small space set several steps below ground level. With only a few tables in a small dining room to its name, it isn't somewhere you'd plan to have a banquet, but with luck you might be able to grab their large round table for you and 7 of your friends. Alternatively, take-out is an option. Our eyes may have been a bit bigger than our stomachs as our party of five decided upon sharing: Minced Pork with Lam-Toy and String Bean $13.95 Deep Fried Spareribs with Garlic $13.95 House Special Chow Mein $9.95 Beef Vegetable Chow Foon $7.95 Egg Tofu Hot Pot $13.95 (new item posted on the walk, not in the printed menu) Large Bowl White Rice $6 With most of our dishes being repeats, it reconfirmed that we still really like the first two dishes, and that their noodle dishes are still rather generously portioned. Five was the perfect number for the spareribs, as it allowed each of us to help ourselves to two ribs apiece. I personally enjoyed the smooth tender tofu (homemade!) in the lightly sweetened meat sauce of the new hot pot dish, and would be happy to get it again, though it was rated a tad lower by the carnivores of the bunch. *** During another meal at Wing's Kitchen we found the food cooked well, though a bit heavy handed with the salt. Minced Pork with Lam-Toy and String Bean $13.95 Deep Fried Spareribs with Garlic $13.95 House Special Chow Mein $9.95 Spicy Chicken Wings $9.95 Chinese Sausage & Bacon Casserole Rice Clay Pot Medium $17.95 A perfect portion for our appetite of 7. The noodles were a bit oversauced for one diner, but did not ruin the crispity crunchiness that I seek in my chow mein. The portion was also a bit more generous than at other local establishments. On this visit we realized that they use olives in the lettuce wrap dish - interesting! The wings were crispy juicy, but we had failed at asking for the salt & pepper variant on this trip. read more

Small restaurant with a signature chicken dish and kind of shady sanitation condition. Order takeout if you are interested! The diner is small with 5 tables in total, the dishes were kind of oily for those who are not used to standard Chinese food.

This is my FAVORITE spot in Chinatown! The food is authentic and delicious. There's no wait if you come during lunch or for an early dinner. Dishes come out quickly and piping hot. The waitstaff is friendly and straightforward, and the restaurant has a cozy feel. Don't expect anything extravagant. It's definitely more of a no frills spot with food that's a good deal for you money. Also, knowing what to order is a big part of getting a good experience, and being willing to stray away from typical Chinese-American dishes like Wonton Soup and Lo Mein. Here are some of my go-to dishes are: -Eggplant with Garlic Sauce -Braised Egg Tofu -Shrimp with Head in Spicy Pepper Salt -Spicy Salt Spareribs on Rice read more

A HIDDEN GEM! The perfect place if you're looking for authentic Chinese food. Came here EVERY day (or even twice a day!) on a trip to Boston. You have to walk through this small door and down a couple of stairs to get there, but it's SO worth it. The environment is very cosy and family-like, and it's always bustling with happy customers. Very welcoming with the kindest workers! The food is absolutely delicious- my personal favorite was the beef w ginger and scallion sizzling hot pot! Everything on the menu is authentic as you can get. Will definitely be coming back on my next trip! read more

Food I've tried: - EMPRESS CHICKEN ON RICE ($11): incredibly moist chicken with a salted skin. The chicken itself was cooked very well, and came on a bed of napa cabbage that had soaked all the juices. It did come topped with a heap of ginger puree. I personally thought that the strong flavor of the ginger overwhelmed the more subtle flavors of the chicken, however I can see that if you are a fan of ginger you would see it as a positive addition. The rice was generous in portion, and well cooked. - JUMBO SHRIMP WITH WALNUT IN CREAMY SAUCE ($20): initially this dish was incredibly good. The jumbo shrimp is perfectly cooked and not rubbery at all. It is encased by a creamy sauce, topped with candied walnuts, over a bed of nicely steamed broccoli. However, as the dish cooled, the cream sauce started to have a very strong mayo flavor and I could feel the oiliness of the dish more acutely. - CRISPY FRIED INTESTINE ($17): pretty standard fried intestine. If you've never had fried intestine, it note that it is it is a pretty fatty chunk of meat encased in a slightly crispy, non battered skin. There is a distinct intestine smell, similar to the gaminess of goat. I did note that the intestine was slightly less oily than other places I had tried. Atmosphere: - Truly feels like a hole in the wall restaurant. There was construction terracing around the restaurant entrance, and the door itself is pretty hidden. - Inside, there were a few tables perhaps enough to seat 10 or so parties. Décor is pretty minimal, everything feels more functional. Service: - Standard service, we got our food relatively quick. Overall: - The flavors were good, but 4 stars as the weakness of the food surfaced as the dishes cooled. read more

My family and I came here for dinner and ordered their Empress Salted Chicken (half), Crispy Fried Squab (2), Pork Chop Peking Sweet Sauce, Stir-Fried Pea Pod Stems, Spicy Salt Three Delights, and Fish Fillet with Vegetables. The empress salted chicken was their specialty and while the chicken was juicy, I felt like it could use more flavor. The stir-fried pea pod stems were okay, but the portion could be bigger for what you are paying for. The spicy salt three delights should change its name, because the dish completely lacked salt and was the most flavorless salt & pepper dish I have had at a Chinese restaurant. I did not like their pork chop peking sweet sauce dish. Their sauce tasted weird, and I have had so much better from other restaurants in the area. The fish fillet with vegetables had a concerning pink color to it and unsurprisingly also lacked flavor. On the other hand, the crispy fried squab was the saltiest dish ever. If they had distributed the salt from this dish to the other dishes, I would have left the restaurant much happier. For the price you are paying for, all the dishes came out relatively subpar. The restaurant was small and having flies as company while you eat made the experience even more disappointing. I recommend going to other restaurants in the area if you want better Chinese food. read more

Super disappointed! I ordered two food, and one of them had a small piece of iron wire!! It was a rusty iron wire, I cant image if it hurt my stomach or trachea after I swore it. Also, I ordered a food call " seafood and vermicelli with XO sauce and hotpot". Since it mentions "seafood", I thought there will be some seafood in this dish. Unfortunately, there were less than 5% of seafood in the dish, and it charged me $21.95. Very upset for this place, WILL NOT come back. read more

This place, tucked away in a basement on a quiet side street, has to be one of the best kept secrets in Chinatown. The food, like most of the other restaurants in Boston Chinatown, is Cantonese, but they offer some unique dishes that I haven't seen at the other places. The first time I came, the diners sitting next to me were enjoying an order of the deep fried spareribs with garlic that looked and smelled so good that I ordered the same thing. It was great--a little on the salty side, but crispy, garlicky, and addictive. A good dish to eat with rice. On return trips, I've also enjoyed their beef chow foon, which was solid, and the salt and pepper squid. I know that both are Cantonese classics, so I didn't really branch out but their menu has a lot of interesting dishes that I hope to try on return trips. Prices are on par with other places in Chinatown. There are very few tables here because the space is so small, and there's really no place to wait. If you come here when it's busy, you might be SOL. But it's worth trying again because you'll be pleasantly surprised at the food at this little hole-in-the-wall. read more

You definitely come here for the value and volume of the food not for the decors or service. Restaurant is in a half basement and only has 5 tables. Two of them were used fir staging for take out orders. We sat down and got a pot of hot tea. It looked dark but tasteless. We ordered 5 dishes among 3 people because we were hungry and greedy. We came for chow mein, the gooey sauce over crispy noodle. It did not disappoint. Garlic ribs were deep fried ribs covered in garlic. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Meat fell off the bone easily. We were surprised how good it was. Then the egg tofu totally blow our mind! It was tender and flavorful. We ordered some rice because this dish made us forgo all no carb concerns. Then the Princess chicken or soya sauce chicken... mmmm. So good. I did not think I would like chicken that's not deep fried. But the chicken had light brown skin seemed very fresh and the chicken was very tender. It is better than in other dim sum or BBQ places. Of all vegetables, we ordered eggplant. It wasn't as good as other dishes, but it wasn't bad. And the price! ~$70 for 5 dishes. It was too much for 3 people. We had a lot of leftovers. This place is old school. It is just how I imagine dining in the g'old Chinatown. I love it. read more

Stopped in here craving crispy noodles. Sooo delicious. Very generous servings and it with beef and Chinese broccoli was perfect!

For eight dollars we got an obscenely montrous portion of Beef Lo Mein. This isn't your standard takeout Lo Mein. Wings uses slightly thinner, eggier noodles. It's a heaping, oily, savoury dish best consumed by 3-4 people. The noodles were nicely accented with aromatics. This isn't a complex dish, but for Chinese noodles, these are a top-notch value. read more

My favorite delivery during quarantine! I have been craving my Cantonese food so bad! I feel so, so lucky to have Wing's deliver to Somerville/Cambridge because there are a lot of inauthentic options around me. Believe me, I have been creeping on Yelp, Uber Eats, Postmates, DoorDash, Caviar.. you name it, on a daily basis. I was even thinking about walking to Chinatown from Somerville to pick up, that's how desperate I have been. As a Cantonese person, they do it RIGHT here. Not too salty or greasy unlike most restaurants. The menu is classic Cantonese. I love their "wet ho fun," beef sauce-covered wide rice noodles. I'm not talking about drunken noodles or the type sold in Thai or Vietnamese restaurants with a far sweeter sauce. This isn't even sold in Taiwanese restaurants. This is what I wanted and it tastes amazing at Wing's Kitchen. Tons of sauce, moist beef, and yu choy on the fresh noodles. This is a massive portion that lasted me three meals even though I tried to milk it out! I also really enjoy their chow mein with the legit thin Hong Kong egg pan-fried noodles.. simply delish. The noodles are quite greasy, but they have a great crunch and mixing it with the sauce is always fun to get the perfect texture. Their beef brisket noodle soup contains really fatty pieces, reminding me of my youth when I gave these pieces to my parents, so too fatty for me, but definitely authentic. I wish they gave a bit more beef brisket sauce to mix into my chicken broth, but it was really tasty and filling. There's a lot of beef, yu choy, and noodles for just $9. I will definitely be ordering again! Can't wait to try their wonton noodle soup, congee, spicy salt pepper pork chops...! And eventually go there in person... read more
