Hot Eastern - Boston

I was warmly welcomed by a friendly host and promptly seated. Although I ordered takeout, I decided to enjoy my meal there, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience. The staff provided me with proper utensils, replacing the takeout ones. The food was delicious, with tender chicken and a sauce that was both sweet and savory. Overall, it was a fantastic spot, and I will definitely be coming back.

Every dish here is outstanding, with generous portions. The chicken was particularly tender and flavorful. The service was friendly and very attentive without being overbearing; our water glasses were refilled and extra napkins brought to us without even needing to ask. The only downside is that the space is a bit cramped, so you might find the staff and other diners brushing against you as they pass by. However, this is a minor issue compared to the overall welcoming atmosphere.

A hidden gem inside an unusual food court entrance. My family and I were a bit skeptical entering the restaurant as it is found at the bottom of a dark staircase in a sort of food court entrance. But surprisingly, it opens up into a spacious, bright, and clean restaurant (which is a nice find since most restaurants are small and cramped in the area). If you’re just curious, definitely try their weekday lunch special. 3x smaller-sized entrees to try out their menu and we were not disappointed with any of the dishes. Also, give their dumplings a try (we order it every time we visit). It’s a sort of soup dumpling that sits in a lot of sesame oil, but it is somehow not overpowered by it and rather tasty.

So far so good! I really like it! The decor, atmosphere and the dishes that I've had so far we delicious! Will revisit soon.

Ordered from lunch menu: szechuan style sliced pork. It came with fish sweet and sour soup and rice and it was excellent! Spicy, with a little broth (no starch), plenty of pork and crispy veggies. Will be back for dinner soon.
