Gaga Seafood Restaurant

Solid Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. The restaurant isnt anything fancy, but food is fresh, yummy, hot and affordable. We came here for dinner on a Friday and didn't have to wait for a table for 2. When you walk in there are only a few tables, but it seems like they have another back room that seats more people. We got the clay pot tofu and fish, string beans, pan fried seafood noodle and a fried pork with a sweet sauce. Portions are big! Finished dinner with complimentary red bean soup.

I enjoy Gaga Seafood and love visiting with family to share family-style meals with. The servers are prompt and food is served in a timely manner. It is a bit of a cozy spot, so I wouldn't go with large parties but family dinners work out well here. My go-to is the salt and pepper beef ribs and sautéed pea shoots. My family members will usually order assortments of shellfish like oysters and scallops which are always freshly steamed. Also a big fan of the yee mien and dried scallop + egg fried rice.

Horrible bug experience, DO NOT eat here! I tasted some bitter in my greens and end up spitting out a thumb size bug(too gross to take a photo so here is a pic from internet). Restaurant cancelled that dish but that's it. Don't think they even rinsed the greens.Make sure you read the lowest reviews before going here, this is not the first bug incident, this place has serious hygiene issues.All grossed out and I did not anything after that, stomach suffered after this. We took the rest food to go but because did not want to waste it and we paid for it. But now not sure what to do with it.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times and each time is a good experience! They're small and don't look like much at first glance, but the food is delicious and very authentic. One of the chefs recently came here from another restaurant in town that we used to frequent. He's the OG. He makes the best suan cai yu (sichuan fish with pickled mustard greens). It's such a comfort food for me. The spice & flavor is hard to find elsewhere in town! The ginger & scallion twin lobsters were so fresh and tasty. Cooked just right. Nobody likes overcooked seafood! I also loved the garlic snow pea shoots/leaves. My favorite vegetable dish at Chinese restaurants. My family rave about their garlic yellow eel pot! I'm not that big on eel, but this dish was cooked so well and was so tasty, I ate quite a bit myself! The owner is very friendly and knows my aunt. They always treat us like family. I'm so impressed with every dish they serve.

Amazing food. The lobster is so good. Perfect seasoning. Not too salty and greasy. And most importantly is affordable.

We came for their lunch special of $22.95 for 3 items. The portion size was decent. It came with white rice. We got pig intestines along with the lunch special. It was crispy and chewy. For pick 3 , we got calamari, beef with bitter melon and mo pa tofu. They all were tasty but the calamari had the most flavor. Overall a good deal. Service was fine

This was our first Chinese meal in Boston and we found this place. It's not fancy but we were pleased with the quality of the lobster and pea tips. The pea tips are pretty expensive at $23 but it's what my wife wanted. This is also our first Boston lobster so we don't have any other comparison. The lobster meat came easily out of the shell which is an indicator of freshness. I would come back to try the steamed oysters or scallops.

I came here for lobsters because they have a special for 2 lobsters for $46 but tbh other than beef chow fen I can't recommend anything else. The lobsters are small but given the price I will let it slide. The satay beef is super weird. They give large portions but they also added clear noodle which is super weird and not very delicious with not enough satay sauce. The steamed giant clam is priced $7 a piece but they basically spread 1.5 clams with a lot of clear noodle to make it look like 3 giant clams with 3 shells so if you do the math they are not as cheap as they make them out to be. I'd rather they charge full price like $10 but gives you the actual full amount. I know this because I cook at home and then I know how much meat is in 1 clam. As for lobster I have a feeling they just cook a bunch and give you pieces with 2 heads but they are alright. The best is beef chow fen which is surprisingly good. This is a cheap restaurant so ambience sucks with noisy diners and crammed seating. Don't take your date unless you've been together for a long time. Service is typical Chinese service fast and efficient but not attentive.

Saw a lot of good reviews from fellow Yelpers, Gaga Seafood did not disappoint a single bit. It's an very authentic Chinese (Cantonese style) restaurant, all servers spoke Cantonese including the lady boss, and all other customers around us were Cantonese speaking too, and they all seemed to be returning customers for multiple times already, a good sign of how good this place is! The restaurant is slightly on the small size with tables pretty closed together, but there seems to be additional seating area in the next room down the hallway at the back.Lobster with Ginger and Scallion: AVery tasty! The flavor of ginger and scallion were fully absorbed by the lobster meat, we ordered two medium size lobsters for three people which was perfect, the price was very reasonable too at $45.Braised Lamb with Bean Curd: A-Please ask for bean curd sauce and dipping the lamb with it further enhanced the flavor of this dish. Wish they added mushroom to it too as it's one of the key ingredients of this classic Cantonese dish.Steamed Chicken: ASo tasty! Very tender and juicy chicken meat even the white meat.Choi Sum: A-The vegetables was fresh, stir fry with garlic at the right amount of time.If I were to live in Boston I'm sure I would go to this place every week, even coming from California with lots of good Chinese food, I would consider this place as top notch, highly recommended!

Been here twice and it's definitely the spot where I get my Cantonese food fix. It is surprising how few there are around and Sichuan food gets boring. Service is good for a Chinese place, waitress warned us not to get a certain dish because it wasn't fresh.- Beef chow fun: One of the best I've had. The smell and wok hei was phenomenal. The seasoning was perfect which is really hard to achieve for many places for some reason. Usually you get the wok hei but it is bland and have to make up for it with chili oil.- Eggplant with salted fish: The salted fish is an acquired taste but man was it good. If you can get past the smell, it has phenomenal Unami flavor with the soft eggplant. Even my kids enjoyed it. - Stir fry pork intestines with chili peppers: This dish surprised me since it isn't a Cantonese dish but it rivaled the ones from Hunan. They did a good job prepping intestines, no gamey flavor and the chili peppers had an amazing kick to it.- Peking Pork chops: This one was a let down, it was too sweet and not crispy enough.
