The Little Kitchen

Delicious and comforting classic HK-style dishes. We tried the pork & preserved egg congee and the Little Kitchen steamed lotus leaf rice. I've never seen these dishes sold outside of dim sum places in Boston before, so I'm delighted that I can order them straight up at Little Kitchen. The congee was perfect, just the right thickness and texture, and fully satisfied my congee cravings. The lotus leaf rice was amazing - a huge portion full of steamed rice, chicken, pork, shrimp, and yu choy, served with soy sauce on the side. Everything was tender and flavorful, especially the chicken. The rice was soft and absorbed the flavors of the fillings, lotus leaf, and soy sauce perfectly; worth noting it's regular rice, not sticky rice like you usually find in dim sum restaurant versions. Both dishes were huge, each one easily big enough for two people, yet the prices are so low! We ended up spending about 15 bucks on lunch for two. My only tiny gripe is that there were a few too many large strips of ginger in both dishes for my taste, but that's entirely my problem, not theirs. The space is very small, a metal counter with enough space for five seats. It's definitely a takeout or delivery kind of place, but we had a fine experience eating there. You order at the counter. The service is friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back to try more varieties of their lotus leaf rice. Now if they only served youtiao (油条) to go with the congee, that'd be perfect :)

Pretty decent place close to Downtown. Good quality of food for the prices below the average. The place itself is clean but rather small and sometimes its cold inside. If you leave tips to the cashier, the size of the portion is usually bigger.

I love savoring dumplings wherever I travel. These were a little on the overcooked side, but still flavorful.

Good steamed rice in lotus leaf. It's their specialty.

The N4 no meat.
