Chau Chow City

Restaurant | "Best Dim Sum in town - Chau Chow City"

Quote:

I have tried other places in Chinatown, but this place is by far the best for Dim Sum. Either Saturady or Sunday mornings are the best time to come. There will be a big line, so be prepared to wait. Bring a Sunday Times to kill time if necessary. It is always better to get Dim sum in a big group, that way you can experiment with all the weird, exotic offerings you might otherwise pass on.

Don't drive- parking is horrendous. Take the T. The closest stop is the Chinatown stop.

Best brunch around harvard Square

Story/Tip

If you have ever made flap jacks, you know it is hard to make a big sized pan cake. Well at Johnny's they make it very well. They even serve beer he...Read More

Lala Rokh, Yummy!

Story/Tip

Quote:

Every once in while one comes across a restaurant, that has such great food, you want to order all the items on the menu and subsequent visits. Only if I were a power ball winner. Warning this place is pricey. However, unlike a lot of expensive restaurants where the food is ho-hum, Lala Rokh's food is spectacular.

In particular have their appetizers. The mushroom platter had some of the highest quality mushrooms I have ever tasted. Complements to the chef in his/her shopping ability. The restaurant is on Beacon Hill. Reservations is a must.
