Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Chinatown - Leather District, Boston

Marcus J. • June 24, 2016Come for the coffee, stay for the sandwiches! BLT on ciabatta is excellent.

Ahad • August 23, 2022They have a great selection of sweet and savory pastries. The Spinach and cheese bureka and chocolate babka are to die for!

Linda Y. • October 26, 2011Great occasional vegetarian lunch specials! (Roasted eggplant w/ goat cheese, sesame marinated tofu, or baked falafel!)

John S. • October 6, 2011My first time at a hotpot place. Don't freak out, the staff are very helpful. For a first time try the herbal chicken broth and the pork broth with the beef. Best of luck!

Hanan M. • October 15, 2016Ultimate favorite coffee place! Scarlet beans are a must for a good home brew!

Annie C. • January 24, 2013Get the pork stuffed calamari. A little bit of spicy tomato sauce, the calamari is like a light ravioli, and the pork is incredible.

Alec O. • August 7, 2014This place is AMAZING for the price. You can get two entrees for under $25 and hot pot for two under $20. It's all the greatness of Chinatown in a classy setting with a GREAT playlist.

BU Today • January 22, 2015Egg Puffs offers one of the best-kept secret snacks Chinatown has to offer—a warm, custardy, slightly sweet pastry that resembles a bite-size waffle.They’re addicting, and only $2.75 for 30 pieces.

Rita L. • December 28, 2019Freshest fish we have ever eaten. Sea urchin was butter. Unagi bun delish.

Rami M. • August 19, 2017Black sesame paste and rice balls were very good. Just a hint of sweetness

Guntawee T. • September 25, 2011Mock Meat (duck/chicken/etc) sandwiches. Sometimes they put chillies and it can get spicy!
