This is place is one of the better Chinese spots I have been to in the Bridgewater Somerville area. Most of the spots are super Americanized and white washed, serving low quality food dumped in oil. Usually there vegetarian options are terrible since they cater more to non-veg customers. I still wanted to try here after reading positive reviews online. I ordered spring rolls and vegetable lo mein. I wanted the ma po tofu but it would be too spicy for me. While waiting for my food I was talking to this other kind person and he said it’s one of the best places he and his family has been to. I also knew this place would be good when Asian families and couples came in to eat here. Lo Mein - 8/10 pretty good LinkedIn comparable to china moon in Raritan. There were a lot of vegetables which is

We have experienced both full dining and dimsum weekend. Food quality (ingredients) are excellent and they were seasoned well, not overly salty and sweet. Authentic Cantonese cuisine at its best. What is the name of the pork bun in my first photo, anybody?

★★★★☆ 4.0 B C · Jun 2025

This place truly reminds d of the wonderful memories of the old Chinatown basement restaurants you find in Chinatown, NYC. It's very Cantonese. In otherwords, the flavors are more delicate and the sauces do not take over the entree but rather enhances the taste of the protein or vegetables. This is how Cantonese food is meant to be prepared. You should only say, "wow, the sauce was awesome. Was that meat chicken, pork or beef?" If you can't tell, the dish was overwhelming the platter. The true star of the restaurant here is the food. The waiters and waitresses are polite and helpful as they walk around offering you what their tray holds. If you want to be a Diva or Divo, please know the staff will not be fawning over you. We had many of the dim sum dishes that were exceptionally popular

★★★★★ 5.0 Joseph Smith · Oct 2025

Anthony the owner is wonderful and all of the waiters are very nice and helpful. The food is excellent. We come back over and over again Update we came for Christmas Day as we always do. Came a little later this year than we usually do so it was a little busy but as always Anthony was wonderful and the food is excellent

★★★★★ 5.0 Adati Tarfa · Jun 2025

Great food! Amazing. For people who have not experienced dim sum it may be overwhelming. It will be good to have someone in your group who can speak Cantonese and also navigate ordering. Maybe a list of items available can be helpful but I know the menu is dynamic based on what is available. This place is great for large groups and can get fairly busy but worth coming!
