"I came with expectations because of the reviews. Ordered - hot milk tea (amazing! Taste really authentic) - carrot cake (good, must order!) - boiled dumplings (the one I was looking forward the most. Nah, do not recommend to order) Breads were good. Great place to be at for a very HK-ish experience with seniors spending time with their friends. I like the vibe, but do note that the restaurant was warm so be prepared."

"This little cafe is such a cute spot for a quick, affordable bite. The food is not only budget-friendly but also delicious - great value for the price. Shumai was juicy, flavorful, and surprisingly big! They also have a nice selection of baked goods, all fresh and affordable. I was bummed to miss out on the dumplings because they were already sold out by the time I got there. Overall, it was a great experience. Just make sure to arrive early so you don’t miss out on the best stuff!"

"My go-to spot for a cozy, early-morning Chinese breakfast fix. For years, I’ve been on the hunt for a solid, reliable Asian breakfast spot in Boston. There are a few Vietnamese places in Dorchester that open early (6am), but they’re just too much of a trek for me. Recently, I caught wind of this place and decided to stop by right at opening to grab a hearty breakfast. Not everything on the menu is available right away—soups and fried dumplings require an extra 30 minutes of prep time. So, I typically stick to the crystal dumplings, shaomai, and fried pork dumpling pastries. One hidden gem? They also serve a pork and vegetable congee that’s not listed on the menu. While the congee is a bit lighter than my usual preference, it’s a steal for the price. My go-to is the pork and salty egg congee, paired with a side of dumplings for the perfect comforting combo. Though the store officially opens at 6:30am, you can often slip in as early as 6am to grab a few items fresh out of the kitchen. While there are a few full-service breakfast spots in Chinatown, like Great Taste, they don’t open until 8am. Just a heads-up—they’re cash-only for smaller orders."

"Great cafe with pastries and other breakfast items. Has indoor seating area frequented by locals. delicious custard bun perfect balance of sweet crust and filling and bread"

"Old school Chinese bakery and dimsum shop. A lot of elderly here, paying games outside on the chairs and inside at the tables talking and eating. Basic dimsum and a larger section for bakery goods. Pretty classic Cantonese bakery."
