Boston food | Locked in with this bowl of wonton beef brisket noodles

🍜 Saigon Corner: Quincy’s Hidden Hong Kong-Style Gem—Nostalgia in a Bowl Step into this no-frills spot, and suddenly you’re transported to a casual Hong Kong cha chaan teng—especially if you grew up in Guangdong or Shenzhen. It’s (no fancy decor), affordable, and packed with the kind of dishes that feel like a warm hug from home. 🌟 The Must-Order: Wonton & Beef Brisket Noodles Beef Brisket: Slow-cooked to perfection—fork-tender, richly flavored, and falling apart with every bite. It’s so good, I ordered a second helping after finishing my first. Wontons: Plump, juicy, and stuffed with silky shrimp—four per bowl is generous (I was full halfway through!). Noodles: The lo mein here is a classic alkaline noodle—chewy with that distinctive "kansui" bite. Pro tip: If you’re new to that flavor, opt for soup noodles instead of dry (lo mein) to mellow it out. 🥤 The Cha Chaan Teng Staple: Frozen Lemon Coke A simple combo—coke with fresh lemon slices—but it’s magic. The citrus cuts the sweetness, making it the perfect refreshment with rich brisket. It’s the little things, right? 📌 Heads-Up Cash Only: No cards accepted, so hit an ATM before you go. Curry Fish Balls: They sell out fast! Arrive early if you want to try this classic side. 📍 Vibe & Location 24 Billings Rd, Quincy—a tiny, unassuming storefront with plastic chairs and a no-fuss vibe. It’s not pretty, but that’s part of the charm. This is where locals come for taste, not aesthetics. If you crave authentic Hong Kong comfort food—brisket that melts, wontons that pop, and a frozen lemon coke to wash it down—this is your spot. It’s not fancy, but it’s real. #BostonHongKongFood #ChaChaanTeng #QuincyEats #NostalgiaFood
