Ding’s Kitchen

Came for late lunch / early dinner. Around 4pm. Seated right away. Even at that time, there were like 5 or 6 other tables occupied so it was not exactly quiet. Ordered everything shown in pictures. Everything was good. What stood out to me was the roasted duck. We got it whole. Love the taste and moist meat. Sweet and sour pork was also unique compared to other Chinese places. It is good. We got the fujin fried rice, which was interesting. I never had a fried rice that is saucy but we looked it. Saucy toppings were smooth. Everything else is pretty typical of a Chinese restaurant. Lobster, salt and pepper silverfish, Chinese cauliflower, fried milk, rice, and red bean dessert soup. These were also good but not as unique compared to other Chinese restaurants. Personally, my least favorite was the pork intestines with pickled vegetables. The intestines are such an acquired taste. Some people I was with, loved it. Overall, great authentic Chinese restaurant for dinner. So far, I think it is better than the closest competitor, joyful garden in Watertown. I would come back to try their dim sum.

I wish I took a picture of my meal , the menu said jumbo shrimp, I got one step up from bait shrimp. I believe it's the same restaurant as before, they just changed their name and tax ID. That being said everything is cut back. Fried shrimp dish, chicken fingers, scallion pancake and tea $50+ . Even the duck sauce was watered down . Kinda a turn off. Wait staff somewhat helpful. Fast service. Not that I wanted it, but no fortune cookie. Two different tables that were of Asian descent had hotpot's at 50+ dollars a pop , I bet dollars to donuts they had a coupon 50% off.

I was interested in checking this place out after seeing a post on Instagram about their Peking duck. The portion of duck was big but the flavors in the duck weren't very juicy and the meat wasn't tender. We also got pea sprouts for our vegetable dish, which was solid. The service was quick and the restaurant was empty when we arrived.

We had a nice dinner there. We got a pork pan fried noodle, roasted chicken, and sautéed fish with vegetables. Everything came out fast and tasted good. They have a large menu of dim sum and dinner. Their popular dish is their coconut chicken soup, that might be worth trying. Plenty of clean new space to enjoy our meal. This was a nice overall place for casual, authentic Chinese dinner.

Authentic, good food, fast service, substantial portions! Leftovers we took were enough for a second full meal.

Great authentic Cantonese dishes. Most Chinese patrons order the Coconut Chicken Soup which comes in medium or large size. Salt & pepper chicken wings are very good. Their ginger scallion twin lobsters stu fry is bomb. $60 but worth it.

I am glad Ding's is back in business, this is some of my favorite Chinese food in the state, it is as good, if not better than my favorite restaurants in Chinatown. Food is not only delicious but prepared rapidly and the wait staff is equally awesome. It can get pretty busy here, so best to come during off hours or you may have to wait for a table.

Very good dim sum and Chinese menu in Newton!We came on a Saturday and enjoyed some dim sum and their signature coconut chicken prepared tableside! Highly recommend

As of late, this spot has been one of my faves for good authentic Cantonese food in the Newton area. Definitely has some nostalgic tastes and vibes, compared to some of the other spots I've been to these days - plus service is usually pretty quick and friendly! It can be pretty busy at times, but it's definitely worth a try in my honest and humble opinion.For their food, I've gotta say that their specials are usually a good choice if you're having a hard time deciding - as they've got quite the extensive menu. Though I must say, my personal favorite might be their clay pot rice with how it's simple yet very flavorful - just be careful, as the pot and its contents are piping hot!Would highly recommend!
