Weekend brunch "taiwanese dim sum" menu: Comes with complimentary tea. Got savory soy milk, peking meat sauce noodles (Chinese jjajjangmyeon), scallion pancake beef roll and pork steamed buns ( xiaolongbao, which is actually a steamed dumpling rather than a bun). The savory soy milk was tasty and came with some youtiao pieces in it, but a bit more sour than I'd like compared to other savory soy milk soups I had and didn't have any tiny salty shrimp in it. next time I'd try the sweet soy milk with a side order of youtiao to put in it as many of the other patrons were doing. The Chinese jjajjangmyeon was pretty decent. But I think I personally prefer the sweeter and saucier Korean jjajjangmyeon. The scallion pancake beef roll was kind of amazing. It was a crispy fried scallion pan cake rolled up with tender beef slices. I would 100% get this again. The pork steamed dumplings were pretty basic imo and nothing really out of the ordinary. I probably would not get it again. I was expecting a fluffy meat filled steamed bun/bao type, but the translation of the menu seemed off. The place is pretty busy and there was a little bit of a wait but they seem to cycle through the tables quickly.

Great Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant in Newton Highlands...kind of a random place. Brunch menu has a lot of great options. We ordered salty soy milk, sweet soy milk, beef wrap, pan fried bao, fried dough, beef noodle soup, and steamed spare ribs. Salty soy milk had vinegar, pickled radish, and fried dough. The vinegar cuddled the soy milk slightly, gave it almost a tofu texture, a very different soy milk experience. Beef wrap and steam spare ribs were our favourite. The beef wrap was super flakey with flavorful fillings. Spare ribs was tender and well-seasoned, and steamed with yam at the bottom, delicious and not greasy at all.

Chung-Shin Yuan always seems to have a line before it opens on the weekends. After the initial first seating, the line died down dramatically. Perhaps my memory is bad, but I had thought they had people constantly waiting in the past. I'd describe the food as "homey dim sum" with the regional focus on Taiwan. Simple, direct dishes without any fussy "interpretation." Service was fast and efficient. And with fewer people waiting to get in, I felt more relaxed to eat without the pressure to leave and make room for the next guests.
