It's pretty good for what it is (a small, cozy takeout joint that's open late and has a couple of tables.) The dumplings were quite good! I've certainly had way worse for more in fancier establishments. Dumplings in the Boston area are a gamble and there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to finding yummy ones. That being said, I haven't tried much of the other food here except a hot and sour soup, which was okay but definitely not the best. I suspect the dumplings might be what's worth sticking to here, as per the name of the shop.

I am writing to you to complain about a meal my friends and I had in your restaurant.We ate there on the 19th of July. We are concerned of a number of issues during this meal.First, your waiters and waitresses apparently ignored us. We had a bad time waiting so long for the menu and the bill. Though your restaurant is in Shanghai, your staff did not speak Shanghainese, which made one of my friends confusing.

I think this recently opened up--I tried the Saugus location a few years ago and was sorely disappointed, so far this location seems better. There is a fair amount of parking in front, but it is metered. However this is largely a takeout restaurant, with only 4 small tables inside. I ordered xiao long bao/soup dumplings and niu rou jian bing/taiwanese beef roll. The soup dumplings were as expected for takeout: thick dough, not much soup, and a little low on flavor. The taiwanese beef roll was better--it could use better textures as it was a bit thick and tough, but it was spot on with the flavor. Overall I think this is a solid takeout spot. Don't expect them to magically nail harder to make dishes, but it seems great for takeout classics or for when you just need to crush a craving. Bonus points for being a rare late night option for this corner of town.

Good takeout place, star off for no sweet sauce. Parking out front, dumplings were tasty.

Best Pu Pu platter I've ever had in my life. Fast delivery and so on point! Will probably get this again tomorrow.

So glad to have a great dumpling place in the neighborhood -- and one with other outstanding non-dumpling options. We've tried most of the dumpling options at this point and they were all good to excellent. The scallion pancakes were a real crowd pleaser in particular. The service was quick and friendly and the first time we went they gave us two pairs of nice reusable chopsticks as some sort of grand opening celebratory gift. Not a ton of seating, but they've clearly put some money into renovating the shade. Strongly recommend this spot!

Very bad service. I order the food with uber eat and I just trying to call and tell them that i just change my phone number recently. so my phone number is not match with my uber eat account. I was trying to tell them to just leave the food at the door. Instead the girl who pick up the phone yell at me about why i didn't put the right phone number and at the same time the delivery person from the restaurant arrive and knock on the door and give me the same attitude about why i didn't put the right phone number.This is very rude. I just change my phone number "recently" . And don't tell me that it a busy time cause i work as a front staff restaurant too. So that is very unprofessional. But the food is really good

The lady at the register always avoid eye contact and rushes me. I've always been nice smiling and saying thank you. Foods alright, but wouldn't eat here, make eye contact and have some kindness geez.

My friends and I met here last night since one of them was in town. We didn't realize this was a very small mostly take-out place, but there was only one other party dining in so we didn't have to wait for a table. The hostess/server was very friendly and nice and the food was absolutely fantastic. We got several types of dumplings and they were all great. The server also upsold us dessert - some kind of pineapple thing with bubbles and jelly or something - but it was worth it. Highly recommend!

Ordered takeout twice here and tried a lot of the dumpling menu - Szechuan Style Wonton(8)w.Peanut Sauce is a clear standout and I ordered this both times. It was amazing. Anything salt and pepper style was really good as well. i tried the shrimp & the chicken. Tonight we tried the sushi and it was also great. We had spicy scallop maki, the Fenway maki, and the spicy maki combo (tuna, salmon, & mixed fish). So glad this place opened up on our street! We are planning on becoming regulars.
