This was the perfect comfort food that I was looking for! Made the trip up here from Providence and was THRILLED to get some solid cantonese food on the east coast!
First, the interior is quite small and crowded, so if you are planning to eat in, you should be prepared to wait. It's WELL worth the wait, however, as the food is incredible!
For the three of us, we got a scallion pancake, the fish congee, the shrimp rice roll, the youtiao, and the 2 item claypot rice with frog and chinese sausage. Everything was spectacular! I have searched long and hard for the right youtiao on this coast, and this was IT! It was fresh, crispy, not too oily and not too dry--perfection. The congee was also just the right consistency (not too watery but not too goopy), and extremely well flavored. The claypot rice was also perfect, complete with the crispy rice at the bottom and extremely flavorful. The scallion pancake also had the best ratio of scallion flavor to dough without being overly dry or oily, and is the best version I've found in the Boston/Providence area! The shrimp rice roll was also excellent--no notes! Bok choy was fresh and delicious.
The main server that we have was so sweet; she helped us pack away our food for us and was extremely considerate and accommodating. I would eat at this place every day if I were closer by!
The only warning that I have has nothing to do with the restaurant (which if you couldn't tell, I love), but about the parking situation. DO NOT PARK IN THE LOT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE RESTAURANT. Apparently, in the extremely small text that is easy to miss in the dark, the owner of that lot does not allow parking past 7pm there, and only 1 hr parking earlier in the day. We got our car towed 20 min past 7pm as we were eating, and apparently the owner has nothing better to do on a Saturday night than watch her security camera and call a towing company to take your car away. Be careful, and hopefully, I've saved you over $100 in towing fees!
