Big Fun Cafe

Stopped in here, there's some street parking in the area. It's a little shop, the definition of a hole in the wall. A lot of to-go orders while we were here, they have a few small seats and they get you seated right away with some water in small styrofoam cups. They specialize in the rice noodle, making it fresh here. The fivespice duck is not too bad, probably better if chilled. You just have to watch the bone shards because they cut it up fresh. The rice is a broken rice in the clay pot stays nice and hot, and they have extra sauce to the side if you need it, the sausage and bacon version is good. Lastly we tried the beef chow fun, which was excellent, not too oily and good balance. Plenty of vegetables and though the onions were a little undercooked. Friendly service, too.

I usually step on here when in the area at times earlier on in the day, rice noodles mainly! Egg rice noodles, rice noodles with char siu and the fried dough sticks.When we sit down i usually get a rice and fried squid dish or share some claypot rice dish with pork or yellow eel.Quick easy, tiny spot on corner not much seating but we used to it and foods always good.

Worth the wait! You need to go in person and get a #. Don't be surprised if you need to wait 30 minutes. Note: they don't take reservations and it's mostly tables that seat 2 or 4; one round table seats up to 8. They do have takeout. Keep in mind that all of their rice noodles have cilantro so make sure you request without if that's not your thing. The rice rolls have great flavor and are thin as they should be. The "filling" is not wrapped inside the noodles and really is a topping. Standard condiments for rice roll sauce & clay pot rice are in bottles on the table. A container of chili oil is also on the table. If you know you want clay pot rice, then you should order it as soon as you're seated because it could take a little while.The staff are very nice and helpful. The place is simply decorated and seating is tight.

A very small southern Chinese cuisine cafe located in Quincy, just across the street from Wollaston station on the redline. Street parking is a little bit difficult to find as it is limited in that area. The cafe is small, there are only 5 tables.Food:Shrimp steamed rice rolls--Portion is 2x the size you normally get in dim sum. The steam rice rolls were thin and soft with a slight chew, making it super easy to eat (honestly I think I ate a little bit too fast). Every bite has cilantro and shrimp. The flavor is enhanced when you add the chilly oil offered on the table.Spare Ribs with Black Beans Clay Pot Rice--My favorite order, the rice is perfectly crispy at the bottom so make sure you mix and scrape the bottom of the pot. I think they can put a little bit more of the fermented black bean to hence the flavor more. I would order this again.Century old eggs with pork congee-- Very warm and honestly a comfort food IYKYK. Think they can add a bit more of the eggs. The congee is smooth and nicely made.Ice milk tea--Very good not too sweet. The tea can be slightly stronger.Overview: This place is a hidden gem and price is affordable. I would come here again.

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!

I was in town for the Boston Marathon and came here for dinner. I was staying in Quincy, so I frequented the Wollaston station across the street. The dining area was quite tiny. I saw 1 large circular table and about 6 small tables that they rearranged depending on the number in each party. Since the girl that was working the counter told me that it would be about 20 minutes for a table, I decided to just order my food to-go. I ordered the spareribs with black beans clay pot rice which just so happened to also take about 20 minutes for it to be ready. It wasn't bad, but next time I would want to eat that particular item at the restaurant as it wasn't ideal to be served out of a take-out container. I grabbed one of their menus on the way out. I would definitely want to make a return visit the next time that I'm out in the Quincy area to check out other items on their menu.

Authentic Cantonese food! The rice noodle was smooth and delicious. The winter melon soup wasn't on the menu. It was salted just right and tasted like home-cooked soup. The salted fish clay pot rice was flavorful and had a crunchy, burnt rice layer at the bottom.The cafe was small with limited seating. It was nearly full when my friend and I went for a weekend lunch. Service was quite fast.

I can't believe I didn't rate this place yet. Big Fun only makes me more crave Cantonese food. The people are always cool, the service is quick, the vibe is always easy, and most of all, the food quality is solid. Basically, it's my spot, glad it's a couple of towns away, and I never feel it's my fat local, plus I feel I'm eating right all the time.

A very small Cantonese cafe with just a handful of tables. The service is reasonable. They seem to speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. The steamed rolls are really good. Perfect thickness and very flavorful. The wintermelon soup was also really yummy. Perfect amount of salt. My friend and I also got the pork claypot rice; it was really good. I liked that they cooked it long enough for the crispy rice. Overall, I'm excited to return and try the chicken soup and a different claypot.

Small, unassuming establishment. Their Cantonese comfort food did not disappoint! So familiar. The flat rice noodles felt so authentic I had to send a picture to my aunt in China! Great portions for the prices. The biggest downside is that you are sitting quite closely to other guests, which feels cramped and gives no privacy for conversations. The trade off is that they try to fit more tables into the small space to increase seating. Service is fast and efficient and food comes out rather quickly, so they try to minimize wait times. They take credit card which is a plus. We easily found street parking but not sure if that's always the case.
