Boston’s Must-Try Iron Pot Stew — Totally Worth the Trip!

【Cubist Circle | Fang Yuan】📍Weymouth Exclusive Finally made a special trip on a sunny weekend just for their iron pot stew — and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it! 🌞 Here’s how to order like a pro: 🍲 Iron Pot Stew with Chicken & Ribs The aroma is insane… Rich, smoky, and deeply savory — that classic Northern Chinese soul-food vibe! The soybean-paste broth alone beats any Northeast Chinese restaurant in Boston 🏆 Highlights: Potatoes – Soft, flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth 👍 Wide vermicelli – Thick, chewy, and soaks up the broth perfectly Cornbread biscuits – Soft, slightly sweet, like steamed cornbread meets mantou ❤️ I loved dipping them in the stew, though my roommate wasn’t used to sweet cornbread with savory soup. 🥟 Their Dumplings Are a MUST Each one is as big as a mini bun — handmade by the owner’s mom 👵 Pan-fried until crispy at the bottom ("ice flower" style)… we finished them in seconds! Even rivals the best dumplings in Brookline — but in its own league 😋 ✨ Other Standouts: Heartbreak Cold Noodles – Softer, less rubbery than others, with fragrant chili oil 🌶️ Homemade Mochi Cakes – Sticky, soft, lightly crisp outside Fruit Tea – Strong tea base with passionfruit, peach, and rose notes 🌹 We obviously couldn’t finish everything — took leftovers and hiked Blue Hill nearby 🏞️ Highly recommend making the trip! Also close to HMart South. Fun fact: Saw an offering table at the entrance — once saw an American trying to sneak fruit from it 😂 #BostonEats #LocalGem #HiddenGem #IronPotStew #ChineseFood #BudgetEats
