December 20, 2017 China Rose

When we showed up there was no one else in the dining room. Most of the patrons were sitting in the bar playing keno, so it was nice to have the place to ourselves. China Rose does a big takeout business as well. Make sure to go to their website to get a 15% off […]

August 30, 2017 Lotus Blossom

  I used to go to the Lotus Blossom all the time when I was growing up. Hadn’t been there in ages, and one day decided to mix it up and try someplace new. And by new, I mean not Panera or the pizza place they know us at because I am there three times […]

April 3, 2017 Water Lily

Located in a small strip mall in Wayland, Water Lily offers a nice selection of Chinese food. They do a ton of take out business, so it was nice to have almost the whole place to ourselves. This would be great for families and there were even people dining solo here. The staff was attentive […]

November 1, 2015 Hong Kong

It’s hard to find good Chinese on the Cape. Our neighbors at home get takeout from the Hong Kong all the time and suggested that we try it out. Located right on the main road, this little restaurant does a huge takeout business. Be prepared to wait – even if you call in your order. […]

July 15, 2015 Shanghai Jade

Shanghai Jade opened up in the old Zenna Noodle Bar space. While we ordered take out, we picked it up and we noticed that the space doesn’t seem like it is finished being decorated – like the college dorm room of restaurants. We ordered the pan friend raviolis (6 for $6.50) which were just average. […]

November 13, 2014 Shanghai Gate

I haven’t been to this area since I was in college, heading out to Great Scott for “Ladies 80’s Night”. My friend told me that we should check out Shaghai Gate because the food was excellent and so were the prices.  Parking was a bit difficult at the meters on the street, so take public […]

May 21, 2014 Jane G’s

On our last night in Philly we were looking for some good old fashioned Chinese food. Jane G’s was right pretty close to the hotel. Jane Guo opened this restaurant in 2012, her second restaurant in Philly. The restaurant was getting busier and busier as the night went on – there were a few large […]

January 20, 2014 Bernard’s

Bernard’s used to be tucked in a corner in the Chestnut Hill mall, but has since moved over to the new construction, “The Street”. We were going to head to the Shake Shack, but the line was out the door, so we decided to try out Bernard’s for the first time. We’ve heard only good […]

November 14, 2013 Sichuan Gourmet

Sichuan Gourmet has a location on Beacon Street in Brookline that is our go-to Chinese food take out spot. We happened to be running an errand in Framingham so we decided to try out that location. The interior seems a little more updated than the Brookline location. When we arrived it was pretty empty, but […]
