GREAT FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE.. and reasonably priced. Recommended!

Service sucked,food sucked everything sucked

Attended a dinner date with my friend, and the atmosphere was pleasing with the accommodating staff. Decent prices and good-tasting food. Parking: Free parking garage, 4 levels.

First time eating here, and overall it was a good experience. The food was pretty tasty, although the scallops were a bit overcooked. The kobe beef potstickers were delicious, and ultimately, the chocolate chow mein dessert was incredible. It was definitely a spot I'd likely come back to if I visit again, I appreciated that it was accommodating for small kids (separate door to enter in, high chairs, and friendly staff).

Loved everything food was amazing

The food was not terrible but certainly inferior to many Chinese restaurants in Boston and Quincy. We went there to try their Peking Duck. It was ok but far from great. The duck also turned out to be extremely overpriced. Over 88 dollars for “half duck” which barely covered half of the service plate is just ridiculous. Other dishes are either very bland (beef noodles) or over-salty (Shanghai fish which was by the way anything but Shanghai style). Service is generally friendly but not attentive even when there are not many guests in the restaurant. I did not have high hopes for the atmosphere knowing it is a food establishment in a casino. But I didn’t realize there are no doors separating this place from the casino area. You are basically eating inside a casino. Overall, DO NOT GO THERE. Certain not worth the trip if you are not visting the casino.

General’s Chicken: 9/10 Fried Rice: 8/10 Salt n Pepper Wings: 9/10 Service (Iris?) : 10/10

Great food and the staff are very polite and friendly.

Our waiter was awesome, but the hostess and support staff were not friendly at all. I had to ask for sugar for my tea and they seemed genuinely annoyed at the request. The food seemed to take a long time to arrive but likely was reasonable. However, the chairs we were seated in reminded me of the cheap patio chairs you would get from Walmart! Horribly uncomfortable. The food saves the experience, with decadent lobster rolls, perfectly cooked wok noodles and fluffy Bao buns! Pricey for sure, but to be expected.

We originally planned to celebrate with Peking duck at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but our dining experience was very disappointing, both the food quality and service were unsatisfactory: 1. We had reserved a table online in advance, and we arrived a bit later than the scheduled time, which was understandable. However, the receptionist was cold and did not offer menus proactively. When a table was available, she summoned us as if she was shooing ducks, which was very rude. 2. We ordered half a Peking duck, Typhoon Shelter black cod, braised noodles with precious mushrooms, and stir-fried green beans. First, the waiter forgot the Peking duck and only brought the other three dishes. After a long wait, we had to ask about it before she remembered to check with the kitchen. 3. Among these four dishes, only the green beans were of normal quality (and not particularly tasty), the other three dishes were hard to swallow. 4. Peking duck: First, the wrong sauce was served, they didn’t provide granulated sugar (for dipping the duck skin) which was fine, but they even mixed up the standard sweet bean sauce with a sour Chu Hou sauce. After we complained to the duty manager, it was replaced, but it seemed like the kitchen staff and the waiter were clueless. 5. About the duck: It was overly fatty, the skin was not crispy, and the skin and meat were separated, clearly because it had been roasted in advance, cooled down, and then reheated in the oven before being served. The only thing they got right about the $60 half duck was the thin pancakes. 6. Braised noodles with mushrooms: The portion was not small, but the noodles were steamed too long, losing their texture; too much oil was used in frying, and the seasoning was off; they were mushy, greasy, and tasteless. 7. Typhoon Shelter cod: The fish was both fishy and oily, the batter was soaked with oil, and the spices lacked any Typhoon Shelter flavor, making it hard to swallow after reluctantly eating a piece. The quality of this $38 seafood dish was far below that of McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish. 8. In summary: Two people spent $173, and three of the four dishes were so bad that we could hardly eat more than two bites of each. We have been coming to this restaurant every year since it opened, and at first, the quality of the Peking duck was quite good, truly authentic and one of the few in Boston. But over time, the quality of the dishes has deteriorated, becoming hard to swallow. Additionally, the level of service and dining environment does not meet the standard for an average cost of $85 per person. We will never come again. You can continue to fool the ignorant American people with your Americanized Chinese food! Translate the following to English: 我们大年初一中午本来打算吃烤鸭庆祝一下，但这次就餐体验非常糟糕，菜品质量和服务都令人非常失望：1. 我们提前在网上预订了位置，到达时间比预定时间稍晚一点，前台让我们在一旁等候，这可以理解。但她态度冷谈，连份菜单也不主动做提供，当有位置的时候招呼我们就像赶鸭子一样，非常无礼。2. 我们点了半份北京烤鸭、避风塘黑鳕鱼、珍菌焖面和干煸四季豆。首先服务员就忘了烤鸭，只上了其余三个菜。我们等了许久后主动问及，她才想起去问后厨。3. 这四道菜中只有四季豆做得是正常水平（也没有多好吃），其余三道菜均难以下咽。4. 烤鸭: 首先酱就上错了, 没给白砂糖（沾鸭皮吃）就算了，连标准的甜面酱都错给成一碟酸了吧唧的柱侯酱。我们向值班经理抱怨之后才给换，后厨配餐员和服务员不知道在干什么。5. 再说鸭子：肥腻的过分，皮也不脆，而且皮肉分离，明显就是提前烤好之后又放凉了，上桌之前再在烤箱里加热一下的结果。$60半只的烤鸭唯一做对的地方就是薄饼。6. 蘑菇焖面：份量不小，但是面条蒸的时间太长，没有口感；炒制的时候油又放的太多，调味也不对；吃起来软塌塌、油腻腻，又没味道。7. 避风塘鳕鱼：鱼肉又腥又油，面糊里也浸透了油，炒料也没有一点避风塘口味，勉强吃了一块就再也难以下咽。$38一道海鲜菜的水平远远不及麦当劳的炸鱼饼汉堡(fillet o fish)。8. 总结：两个人吃了$173，四道菜中的三道都吃了两口就难吃实在吃不下去了。自从这家店开业以来我们每年都来，刚开始的时候烤鸭水平很不错，算得上是波士顿少有的地道，但是随着时间推移，菜品水平每况日下，直到这次差得难以下咽。另外，人均$85的餐厅的服务水平和就餐环境实在不达标。以后再也不会来了。你们就指着用美式中餐糊弄无知的美国人民吧！
