I know ... 5 stars for a barebones/takeout Chinese restaurant? Seriously? YES - seriously. First of all, Chinese cuisine is incredibly varied. Szechuan, Hunan, Hakka, Hong Kong, and many others. I'm partial to northern Chinese, and the numerous Hong Kong-style joints may be popular, but they're just too mild for me. I need BOLD SPICING, and after trying many of the joints around town, I had all but given up. And then I found Qing Dao, which was like finding heaven.We ordered just 3 dishes: Chicken with Cabbage Dumplings, Mu Shi Chicken, and Eggplant Peking Style. Life changing: the eggplant. OMG. Bold spicing, not hot, but super-flavorful. I. Need. More. The dumplings were good, and the mu shu was very tasty. (One person in our party had a serious need for mu shu).Service: it was crazy-cold outside, and we asked for them to turn up the heat - which they did and it became toasty-warm in minutes. Service was A+! I don't give 5-stars easily. but this place truly deserved every one of them. I know we'll be back for more. Next time we'll order only from the "Northern Style" menu.

I can't believe this place only has a 3.5 star rating. Don't trust the bad reviews. This is some of the best Northern Chinese in the region. And it also has elevated versions of all your classic Americanized Chinese fair, like Peking dumplings and crab rangoon. I've been eating here for over fifteen years and it's been meh maybe once. Is it a fancy dining room? No. It's mainly a takeout spot. But even so, the dine-in experience is pleasant with good, strong tea and fast friendly service. The owner is in there most of the time and he's an awesome dude who is happy to guide you around the extensive menu if you want to experiment. Can't say enough good things about this place. They also do frozen dumplings in packs of 50 for a steal. Go there or get some delivered. You won't regret it.

Qing Dao is an absolute gem. I highly recommend ordering from the Northern section of the menu--you can't go wrong. And don't forget the dumplings or you'll be living a suboptimal life.

I was craving Chinese food the other night and decided to give Qing Dao Garden a try since it is within walking distance of my apartment. I ordered one egg roll and pork chop suey. The food was absolutely terrible -- the egg roll was a huge tasteless heavy blob and the chop suey was equally as unedible. I spent $24.00 on food that I had to throw out. Although the restaurant has received some good reviews, it sadly failed me. Never again.

Perfect place to go. That's if you want to get degraded downgraded disrespected and taken as a joke as you spend your money there. I'm appalled I'll be contacting my favorite lawyer tomorrow on this behalf of these people disrespect and un mannerism and unprofessionalism. Like I'm so appalled right now of the feedback that my worker personal care attendant just gave to me as far as her experience going there for me for something as simple as what I got.Very ignorant my husband works for channel 7 News and I am considering bringing the topic further than you yelp

Good food and good service. Tonight, I made the mistake of ordering through Grubhub which is automatic when you hit the "order online" button. It turned out to be $13 more than ordering through the restaurant's website.

One word: dumplings!! Delicious, handmade, sumptuous dumplings! Sure they have other stuff, but when I'm there I've got one thing on my mind. Yup. Dumplings.

Amazing. The crab rangoon has great texture, color, and flavor to the filling. Not must cream cheese BS. Actual filling. The egg rolls are nicely fried with fresh cabbage and meat inside. Little diced green onion, too. Thick juice boneless ribs. Sweet and mesty general gao chicken. Their steamed buns are fluffy and flavorful. Big selection, too, which I miss since Wangs in somerville went away (rip). Great spot, and the woman working the front was very friendly. Talking to some customers sitting down like they were regulars. It's just a good vibe. I'm so glad I found this place. I hate when my favorite Chinese spots close, like has been the case recently in Somerville, so having this right over the border into Cambridge is a major plus.

I love this restaurant! I go frequently. My favorite dish is Fresh Lotus Root with veggies and chicken, and I'm also very fond of their Peking-Style Eggplant. They also have a seaweed soup that is very good. Lots of other interesting dishes too. Not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. The owner/chef takes his cooking very seriously, and can be seen chatting with customers or bringing fresh produce to the kitchen. I highly recommend this restaurant.
