  Don't be fooled by its location, although its in a small food court it has great food.
  
  This is my go-to place if I'm looking for a classic pork/duck with rice and cabbage.
  
  Best things:
  Food: The crispy pork is one of the best I have ever had in the Boston area, it has the perfect amount of fat to meat ratio. The sauce that goes with the rice almost makes the dish a 10/10. Also if you are just looking to buy a big portion of duck or pork I would recommend buying it here.
  
  Bad things:
  Not too many bad things to say about this place. The food is excellent which should be the main reason you come here. The food court itself is unfortunately not as pleasing to the eyes, as it is pretty filthy.  
  
  Overall: Would definitely come many times to get lunch here.

  Ordered a few times from this place.
  
  First time, I ordered the classic pork on rice and plain wanton for my friend. My food was great but my friend found what resembled the top of a screw in her wanton soup...
  
  Second time, I ordered pork on rice again except this time, there's a mix of BBQ pork and fried pork. The BBQ pork is always nice but the fried pork skin is not crispy and is a bit overly salty for my liking. I thought this was because I came in too late (9 PM) and it was left out for too long, so I gave it another shot at an earlier time (4 PM). Nope, still not crispy. At least the BBQ pork was consistent. The cabbage that comes with the rice is also pretty good considering it's supposed to be complementary.

  A taste of Chinatown right in the neighborhood. The finest, freshest Chinese meats and dishes!! Worth the $$$ and definitely just as good as how my mom and dad would cook these dishes

  Passed by this super market 500+ times, smelled good food and always wanted to have food. Finally, we did. I had duck over rice. Wow it is really tasty. I used to go to a lot of authentic Chinese restaurants in Bay Area, CA, but here in Boston, not much nearby. So it had been a while I had authentic Chinese food. Volume is big, which is an authentic sign. I will come back to try another dish since there are at least 50 different thing on their menu.

  Emanuel Kant is at the door. Will someone let Kant in?
  
  Inside the pretty awesome food court in one of my fave areas of Boston, just west of town by Allston and Brighton where a lot of great ethnic food is, you'll find this place that has Tonkatsu and some other good fried stuff, and it's pretty good in general - but also little bit bland
  
  But I do love their sold attempts at tasty, good food, and the prices aren't bad, especially for Boston - probably cuz they're in a food court so they probably deserve a good rating and some of the people have been not very fair on them.
