Plats de Pâtes Hong Mère

My favorite Northeastern Chinese food in the Western hemisphere. My family has roots in that area in China and I don’t care what anyone else says - this place tasted like home. My husband and I live in Boston and drove here for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday…and everything from the server in the back busy storing inventory while shouting welcome to us in Chinese to the taste of every dish…I don’t remember tasting this kind of flavor outside of China. Get the traditional Northeastern Chinese plates like 大拉皮 or 锅包肉, we added on a specialty Chicken dish that the chef recommended and didn’t regret it. Licked the plates clean and we’ll be back every year 😉

We came here for dinner and ordered three dishes: the stir fried eggplant with onions and bell pepper, the chicken with spicy house sauce, and the fish in preserved cabbage broth. Nice big portions. The eggplant was very flavourful and had a nice texture (i.e that special texture you get when food is cooked in a wok at high heat, not easily achieved at home). The chicken was nicely caramelized and very delicious. But the soup was too salty for our liking. The service was quick and attentive. Will happily come back to try other dishes on the menu.

The food was very tasty and portion was fair, the restaurant is always full of people I would always call them first to check whether it’s busy or not.

A last minute addition to our plans that satisfied our hunger and then some! We definitely had eyes bigger than our stomach here as each plate we ordered was quite large. Likewise the menu itself has many great options to choose from which made it difficult to narrow down our choices. Once we did so it didn't take long for them to be under our chopsticks as we were served pretty fast. We went home with leftovers that would last us for several more meals so we feel like we got our money's worth.

Been here several times. Great price, portion, and food. Nice byob place for sure.

To be honest, I didn’t tried the food, so I cannot rate my experience with eating the restaurant’s food (I only eat halal food) but all of my friends loved it! The service was excellent! I recommend this to people who love Chinese food!

We didn't expect much from this restaurant. The entrance is rather shabby, it's even hard to see it's actual name. The decoration is extremely simple, definitely not sophisticated. However, we were impressed by the food. It is very authentic Chinese food, mainly from North China. I couldn't help but notice that Chinese people speaking mostly Mandarin were sitting in every single table. This immediately increased its credibility to me. We ordered three different dishes plus rice. Apart from one of the dishes that was slightly too salty, we enjoyed everything. The prices were fantastic too, we were very full and we could still take the leftover back home. Other positive points: - service was rather quick. The attendant was super busy with the other tables, but he managed to serve us within 10 minutes. - toilet was surprisingly clean.

The plates are authentic and delicious. My friend is from Northeastern part of China said that she could taste home. This is a family own business, which they prepare your food with genuine and passion.
