Gourmet Dumpling House - Northern & Southern Flavors 🥢 | Boston ⭐️⭐️⭐
Another Chinatown gem! We waited in line for about 10 minutes. The restaurant is cozy (a bit cramped!), and our table was next to a fish tank—I joked it was the "best seat for fish-watching" 🐟😄. Portions here are huge—don’t overorder! My brother and I were stunned when four massive dishes arrived. 👀 ▪️ Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao)*✨ These are the largest XLB I’ve ever seen—almost like big steamed buns! 🥟 The broth was light and non-greasy, though the skin was a bit thick. Still tasty! ▪️ Stir-Fried Rice Noodles*✨ The server warned us they’d be "dry," but we insisted—and glad we did! It was exactly the chewy, wok-fried texture we wanted. Surprisingly, it had a hint of curry flavor 🍛—not too dry, just like the classic Chinese street-style noodles. ▪️ Sweet and Sour Pork* A massive plate of crispy pork glazed in tangy sauce—looked and tasted amazing! 🍖🔥 ▪️ Northern-Style Cold Jelly Noodles* Refreshing with cucumber and cilantro 🥒🌿, but the sauce was a bit heavy. Still, I enjoyed it! 📍 Address: 52 Beach St, Boston, MA #BostonEats #GourmetDumplingHouse #ChineseFood #ChinatownBoston #XLBs #ComfortFood #FoodReview 🥡💥
