Chinatown Restaurant

Best Chinese food around. Give this place a try and you won’t be disappointed. We have been here 3 – 4 times. Last night we went right before they closed. We were fully expecting getting less than their best food as they had most likely put everything away, but it was as good as ever. Sesame chicken, egg rolls, and crab rangoons all delicious! We found our new spot for Chinese food.

When i first ordered here, the food was delicious and they gave us alott of food (fit for the price they are charging us). But after ordering the next couple of times, i won’t be ordering here anymore. The last time i ordered, they gave us a whole container of really dried out fried rice, chicken teriyaki was nearly burnt, and no duck sauce and no eating utensils were provided in the bag for us. They would constantly give us large portions of the appetizers EVEN WHEN I SAID ON THE PHONE I ONLY WANTED THE SMALL PORTION… as if they gave us the large portion on purpose so that they would charge us more money. This (large instead of small — charged for large when i asked for small) incident happened twice! After all this, forget it. I don’t want to order from and support a dishonest place. Not worth waiting 1 hour each time… having them deliver me overpriced foods.

Was pretty baked last night when I decided to get a slurpee. Next door to 711 was this little place. I then decided I needed an egg roll. After being greeted by the much too quick speaking cashier, I ordered the greatest egg roll I’ve ever had. For once, a takeout chinese joint had a unique eggroll. The meat was seasoned to perfection. I will return.

I hardly ever get Chinese food these days, but I have gotten take-​out from Chinatown Restaurant in Jackson Square for years. For your standard take-​out Chinese food, it’s a really good value for the price. I almost always have gone easy and got either combination platters or a pupu platter, and it’s never disappointed. It’s not overly greasy like your typical Chinese food restaurants as well. Also, it seems like it’s family owned, and both the chef and counter employees have always been extremely nice.

Ok, so I’ve only gotten food from here once within the past few years. The night before last, in fact. I rarely have the NEED for chinese food, but when I do, WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE AND NOT FEEDING ME CRAB RANGOONS DRIPPING IN DUCK SAUCE? It’s pretty much like that. Like going out to breakfast, i pretty much only want wildly unhealthy things and try not to go out for either unless it’s imperative to survival. I can cook healthy crap at home, thanks. But alas, I have been consistently let down by so many other Weymouth/​local chinese food joints that charge too much for just meh food.
I walk near here every night on the way home from work, and the smell usually drives me slightly wild, but i’m able to stay strong. Not the case this Friday night. Everything in me demanded Crab Rangoons and for some reason, chicken fried rice. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered chicken fried rice in my life. I’m a fan of house fried, pork or shrimp fried normally, but I went with my gut — literally. My gentleman picked me up from the train, and we swung by and grabbed the ready and waiting goodness. Holy crap.
Both things were so good, y’all. Not the *best* rangoons i’ve ever had, but seriously solid. They were fried in crack. The filling was good, and not overwhelmingly rich or heavy. Could have used more green onion or crab, but whatevs. The fried rice was freakin’ awesome. The chicken was not fatty at all, and the hunks of onion here and there were happy explosions. The Mister forgot to get extra duck sauce, so we improvised. I recently canned hot pepper jelly, and kind of sucked at it — so we have jars of pretty runny jelly kicking around. We mixed that with the duck and BAM. I kind of regret figuring out how to make fried things that didn’t need to taste better, taste way better, but here we are. It has been done, and now it has been done to you. You can’t un-​know this. Sorry.

Cheap and decent. Got the general gau’s chicken with pork fried rice and chicken fingers and crab Rangoon. Everything tasted good. wished they used better meat in the gau it was fatty dark meat. Overall We would recommend.

I’m being generous.
Maybe it was because we ordered on Saturday night of snowstorm Nemo. We were warned. When the manfriend called to see if they were open he was given the warning «yes, but their is a long wait». We went for it. I mean, we had to eat [crap] because we were snowed in after all. So we walked down to Chinatown to look at the menu and place an order. There were several people waiting but we were in no hurry.
So maybe it was silly of my to order pad thai at a Chinese food restaurant. And yes, I am well aware there are MUCH better Thai food restos in Weymouth. Please, people. But I just
.much I couldn’t resist. I went with the combo plate if it makes you feel better (crab rangoons & pork fried rice). He went with the orange beef and crab rangoons too.
We went home. Waited. I sent him back solo to grab the grub. He came back in a huff declaring that he was all but ignored when trying to pick up our food. He said the crown had dwindled but it took a lot of effort to draw attention from one of the 10 people hustling (standing) around in the open kitchen.
My food. Pad thai. Not good. Nothing but chicken and noodles. No sprouts, oh but wait, there were peanuts sprinkled on top. The sauce was pretty poorly done. Please refer to my above statement, «maybe it was silly of me to order pad thai at a Chinese food restaurant». The pork fried rice was OK and the rangoons were fine. Now, I am well aware that the «crab» is actually just imitation crabmeat but I’m not even sure there was actually any of that in these rangoons. But whatever, the fried part was good. Because it was FRIED! His food. Orange beef, sauce = good. Two pieces of broccoli, good. But the pork, chewy and almost crunchy from too much starch. Edible? I guess.
So sorry this is an excessively long review. Like I said, maybe we can chalk it up to Nemo and Chinatown being one of the few places open in the area on a Saturday night but it will probably take another extreme situation for us to order from them again (or maybe a really drunken night?)

Located next to 7 – 11, Chinatown is a small take out place, family owned. There are a few tables here, no table service, but we usually get food for take out. Honestly this is the 2^nd best in Weymouth, see my review for Peking Kitchen. Tastes fresh and good value for the money. There are a lot of choices in town for Chinese and we go here about every other month or so. The lunches are cheap and satisfying.
