Shoyu Boston

My family went for the lobster deal (spend $100+, $20 lobster). SOoo worth it. The most expensive dish ended up being eel ($40). Total turned out to be ~$30/person with 5 dishes. We went rather late so they ran out of the fried pork which according to my mom was tasty, but everything else was seasoned well, came out fast, and overall well made cantonese/toisanese food. Note: they don't have a waiting list system so you kind of just wait around until they have a table open up. When we asked for an estimate, the employee/waiter just shrugged wait time was just around 30 minutes though. Overall, classic cozy chinese dinner place that satiates your cravings.

Overall:4.5 starsFood: I think its pretty good. Standard cantonese bbq. I think their siu yuk roasted pork belly is really good compared to everywhere in boston.The only problem is the consistency like today as seen in the picture has really good portions and everything looks really good. However, I've ordered to go in person before and the portions are smaller (more rice to meat ratio rather than more meat to rice ratio).Service:I ordered off of uber eats cant really say much about service.Ambiance:No frills great cantonese bbq. Alternative to HK eatery.

I walked in to order takeout and service was really quick. I got the BBQ meats three way with chicken, roasted duck, and roasted pig. The meat was well-seasoned. Even though the portion of the duck they gave me had very little meat, the amount of food was very generous for only $15!I would come back again to dine in and try other dishes. They have decent amount of seating that can accommodate even larger parties.

This is a new Hong Kong style eatery that had replaced the old Eldo Bakery in Chinatown which I loved!I tried a three treasure rice box for lunch here with crispy roast pork, cha siu, and roast duck, which was decent. The crispy roast pork could've been a tad crispier and succulent, while i felt that the duck fat could've been rendered a bit better and had a bit more five spice (personal preference). The cha siu otherwise was fine. Taste wise, I prefer HK Eatery right down the street, but they're a lot more generous with the portions here and the people working behind the counter are definitely much happier and nicer in comparison. There also wasn't a line here when I had stopped by, whereas if you try to go to HK Eatery down the street at lunch time, the place can be a zoo. Will I be back? Sure!

We came here for dinner. Service was good. We got a special half a chicken with sesame seeds. It was most and delicious. We also got steak fillet, fried rice, veggie dish, salted egg yolk lobster, and roasted duck . The lobster was amazing. Duck was so scrumptious. Overall a great meal

I have heard that the BBQ items from here were good so I wanted to try. They also have regular cantonese restaurant items. I ordered a 2 item ricebox and a beef chow foon.The area where you pay and order takeout is small and cramped even with only 4 people standing there. My rice box with 2 items cost about $14 with taxes. For that price I felt that it was a bit steep for the amount of meat I got. There was soo much rice in the box as filler but barely enough sauce to cover 1/4 of the rice in the box. The roast pork was probably the best part, but you have to eat it rather quickly otherwise the crispy skin gets soft and the meat dries out. The duck was ok.I would come back for the beef chow foon. Very well seasoned and it wasn't too oily and didn't leave me feeling heavy after eating it. Portions are generous too.

Another causal Chinese restaurant opens up in Chinatown, with other locations in Saugus and in Andover.I'm a fan of rice plates with all the roasted meats, chow mein, and wontons. Sadly, they don't offer wontons in any form. So we ended up ordering 3 types of roasted meats with rice, a chow mein dish, and an app of jellyfish.For the most part, portions are generous, the price is average, and the food is decent. My beef with this place is, the roasted duck that was part of our rice combo plate, the duck was mainly bones. The char siu had more fat than meat, and the waitress was emphasizing how ordering this 3 types of roasted meat rice plate is a great value. Again, price averages for this type of dish are similar to any other restaurant. However, if I'm paying for mainly bones and fat that doesn't equal a great value.

Ask them for a combo plate with the meats of your choice. We chose the Boneless ribs, duck and crispy pork. These come out cool which may be normal but not what I had expected and was plenty of food for 3 people. Same or true for the fried rice. They recommend the Scalloped fried rice, but the pork was our favorite. I do wish they all were a bit more crispy.

We spent the day in Boston while in port on a cruise and had lunch in Chinatown. Did some window shopping across the street and decided to stop in here. It seemed to be clean and new. We did a 3 selection barbecue plate, scallion pancake and jellyfish. It was pretty good and hit the spot.

This place was opened one month ago.. the prices was good for the portion of food you get. Don't expect this place is one of those fancy restaurant. It is more family dining. This places offered assorted chinese bbq meat at 9am. Dine in does not start til 11am.
