One Pot

Delicious authentic Chinese (and American Chinese) and Taiwanese fare! Located close by in Malden they've got a great little spot with kind and attentive service. Had a spicy beef noodle soup, milk tea with boba (perfect, not too sweet) and a matcha green tea yogurt cake slice. Looks like cheesecake but delicious and light to end a lunch with a friend. Highly recommend!

I Used to go to this place often before covid. Today went again. This time Food is fair, but the bill was given with a calculated total said included 15% tip. Later we found it included forced tip which calculated to be 21%. Talked to the server to fix and she said it's only a few quarters difference (not true). Doesn't seem to be much dine-in customer, so the staff might do this for more cash tip. We are normally decent on tip, but we don't like forcing tip thing.. Ended up let it go, but will not go back.

I grew up in LiuZhou/Guilin, so I was super pumped for the Luosifen, which is a local specialty I haven't been able to find authentic versions of in Boston. Visually, the dish seemed like it was going to deliver to my expectations. However, there were so many rookie mistakes and lack of attention to detail in this dish that it made me truly sad. 1）花生没炒熟、2）黄豆没爆香、3）螺丝没有吐泥，很多沙土。The unripe peanuts and the badly prepared escargot really disappointed. In the past I've also gotten the 凉拌木耳 (woodear appetizer)、松鼠鱼 (fried fish)、and various grilled skewers. Everything was mediocre - either too greasy or flavor was not great. There are so many regional specialties it must be hard to be good at them all. I really want this place to be good at SOMETHING and maybe I haven't "hit" the place the chef actually specializes in? So far pretty disappointing.
