Great Taste Bakery & Restaurant

Our favorite authentic Chinese restaurant, dim sum is soo good. We drive all the way from Wells Maine just to come here.

*THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR TIPS* We actually had bad experiences - provided spoons were so dirty, so we leave 10% for them, total payment is USD 61. However we found $64 were paid through Chase app to meet 15%. They treat customers in such an illegal and disrespectful way, love yourself and DO NOT COME.

This is among the better dim sum places I've been to in the US. The seating reminds me very much of a smaller street-level restaurant you'd find in Hong Kong; it's not the best furnished nor the most comfortable. But the food easily makes up for that. The usual dishes are done quite well, especially the deep fried pork dumpling. I also recommend trying their fried turnip cakes, as it's something I haven't seen in other places and was pretty good. The flavor of their milk tea was on point but I would prefer something slightly stronger. The price was higher than what I'd expect at this kind of place, but it was consistent with other meals I had in Boston at around $25 per person. You'll probably have an easier time with service if you speak Cantonese or come with someone who can. Whatever the case, the food is good and worth a stop.

The food was good.

I've been here a few times over the years of living in Boston, and I think this place isn't bad. But I think Boston in general just doesn't have great dim sum in general so you have to make do with what you can find. Food: Pretty average dim sum. Not much to complain about really. I always enjoy the egg tarts and rice rolls which are always a staple for me with dimsum. I also enjoy congee, but restaurants always cheap out with the toppings/meat. As for their bakery goods - also very average. I've tried every bakery in Chinatown, and I think the best fruit cake I've found has consistently been from May's Cake House. Service: Typical chinatown service. Don't expect anything special. Also please don't feel pressured to tip 15% if you feel like the service is not up to par - when I was still a student, I had a waitress pressure me into tipping more because I did not tip at least 15%. Atmosphere: Always feels very chaotic in here. Space is cramped and there isn't much room. I think they can benefit from a remodel as well.

Don’t come here!! - The food is disgusting, i found a piece of hair on my noodles. - The owner is rude, and doesn’t speak English well. Workers will make you give a higher tip other than recommended. - The atmosphere is pretty bad, tables are dirty. I’ve seen a rat or two running on the back. - Expensive for such bad service GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Called a head to order a taro cake for a work function. I'm allergic to nuts and was a little nervous when I informed them of my allergy. But they took care to ensure that there was no cross contamination. Cake was delicious and most importantly NOT TOO SWEET. Dietary restrictions: Ok for nut allergy if you call ahead

Dimsum all day, great food and service, plus pastries! Kid-friendliness: Very kind and patient service
