"From the sausage rolls to the molten egg yolk buns, Great Taste knows how to produce an unbeatable breakfast spread. It’s hard to go wrong on the menu, but be sure to nab the fried turnip cakes, custard rolls, and any of the sweet or savory buns. Early birds, take note: the breakfast offerings of French toast, sliced beef sandwiches, and ham and egg sandwiches start at 6:30 every morning." - Nathan Tavares

"The barbecue pork pie and char siu bao stand out at the bakery half of Great Taste Bakery & Restaurant, whose restaurant side also serves worthwhile hot pot, dim sum, and lots more. For a sweet finish, grab an egg tart." - Terrence Doyle, Adam H. Callaghan

"Great Taste is a favorite for its char siu bao and barbecue pork pies. Hang out on the restaurant side for some great dim sum, or stop by its bakery side for small or large Cantonese-style mooncakes with red bean, green bean/mung bean, or lotus seed fillings." - Linda Huang

"Great Taste… well, its food tastes great, especially its char siu bao. The business is set up in two parts — its restaurant sits to the left, while its bakery sits to the right. Go for the steamed char siu bao on the restaurant side, or pop into the bakery to order a single baked char siu bao. Great Taste is open for indoor dining and takeout (call or order online)." - Linda Huang

Very authentic, hole in the wall dim sum restaurant! Food here is made to order instead of the dim sum carts, so all the food comes out very hot and fresh. The service is also very efficient. Highly recommend the taro spare ribs, XO fried turnip cakes, egg tarts, shrimp noodle rows, and the molten egg yolk lava buns. The restaurant is a bit small, but there are ~2 big tables and you can call ahead for reservations. This place is my go-to for dim sum in the Boston area!

Very good dim sum, made to order. Small, cozy restaurant that wasn't busy when I stopped by, but I bet it gets packed when it is. Sticky rice in lotus leaf is so good!

This awesome quick in and out dim sum place becomes our favorite spot in Boston Chinatown. Weekday before noon will be less crowded there.

Bakery review: We came here for some Asian desserts. Saw a line for the dim sum restaurant; going to have to check that out next time! The service was quick and friendly at the bakery. We picked a few items to try. The moon cake with red beans inside was delicious. The yellow cat cake was amazing; super creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. I am not a fan of too sweet and love that most Asian desserts are not too sweet. Another favorite is the egg custard tart; so flakey and creamy. I would've ordered more but we just had a big lunch. Overall, a decent little bakery in the middle of Chinatown.

I think there is definitely rooms for improvement and there are definitely things they do well. 7 dollars for 3 egg tarts? Eh. $13 Brisket noodles have no brisket, just fat and what looks like a large vessel. Turnip cakes were good along with the beef noodle rolls. Service wise I come in with my gf and they ask us to wait and another couple walks in and they get seated at an empty table that was there before. Little things. 3.5./5.

Huge menu and staff are very friendly! Very affordable and food tastes good. We had tofu rolls, shrimp fry-love them, sweet and sour chicken(a bit too sweet for my liking). Overall, great experience and love their bakery too!
