We’ve dined here several times and absolutely love it. The food is so good and my partner says it’s the best kung pao he’s had in the area. We enjoy the peanut noodles and other chicken dishes as well.

We had my son’s birthday family luncheon here, and it was phenomenal. Perry was responsive by email and very flexible about changes we needed to make in the last moment. We pre-ordered by emailing a list of what we wanted, including several gluten free dishes, and everything was ready for us when we arrived. And to find gluten free Chinese food!? AMAZING! Everything was delicious and it’s clear they do GF right because those of us who are GF for various reasons all felt wonderful / had no reaction, immediate or delayed. Will be frequenting this restaurant for sure!

Originally found this place when it was mentioned in Boston magazine as a spot a famous chef liked to go on their night off. It's outstanding. To start with the food, you can have very tasty, fresh stir fries or get adventurous with weekend dim sum. Great soups and appetizers - our favorite is Vegetarian Goose, actually tofu skin and mushrooms.They have a liquor license and a neat little bar area, though it's not a drinking scene. The dining room is pretty and neatly kept, and tablecloths come out for the dinner service. The nice wait staff has been in place for years. Dishes are served promptly, always hot and fresh. They have a vigorous take out business but it doesn't interfere with table service at all. The photo shows Give Spice Beef Noodle Soup, which seemed a good idea for lunch on a cold and drizzly Saturday.
