Moon Flower House Allston — Restaurant in Boston

Moon Flower House is one of the best places to eat fried chicken while in Boston, and one of the only place I know that uses dark meat for their fried chicken sandwiches, as it should be! While I can't speak for other food, the chicken is made to order, so it's always fresh and crispy when you get it. However, this does mean the wait time for your food can be a bit long. The menu is largely in Chinese, but there's generally an image accompanying any menu item, so for someone who cannot read Chinese, I had little to no problem ordering minus a few items that were lost in translation. According to people with more experience in this particular area, the spicy chicken sandwich is a bit lacking in distinct spices but a bit more spicy when compared to the spicy KFC chicken leg sandwich in China. Personally, the spicy chicken sandwich here reminds me of the spicy fried chicken thighs served in a certain chain restaurants in Southern US,...

Food - 4.5/5 Their fried chicken is amazing - incredibly juicy, crispy, and well seasoned. It comes out piping hot!! Their fried chicken sandwich is also delicious - with sweet mayo, fresh veggies, and again amazingly crispy chicken. Only thing is their popcorn chicken isn't super traditional - it's basically small fried chicken bites (probably a mix of cornstarch, flour, and something else) versus the Taiwanese original where they use sweet potato starch to fry it.

I can't recommend their drinks though - we got a honey green tea and it tasted more like honey water. No worries - Allston has plenty of boba!

Ambiance - 4/5 There's five tables that give more of a coffee house vibe than restaurant. It's better than the Chinatown location where there's no seating. It's cute and small but not good for larger parties.

Service - 5/5 Service was great! Very friendly and attentive.

Other notes: Parking on street per usual for...

The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, each one more tempting than the last. I particularly enjoyed the Fried Chicken Wings, which was really crispy and juicy.
