Chinese Dim Sum
(617) 338-1688

We enjoyed the dim sum classics especially the clay pot rice of chicken feet and spare ribs. Bright and open atmosphere. Chinatown was just right off the highway which was convenient.

Worth hunting down this little restaurant in Boston’s China town Service was polite. The food was really very good and very fresh, would definitely go back!!

Small dim sum place - ~20 min wait for 2 and 30+ for 4-5, but worth the wait. Not the tradition "pick food from carts being pushed around" dim sum, but you order off a menu. Food comes fast.Food here is very tasty with a traditional flavor. Steamed buns are fluffy and delicious. Meat dishes are juicy and flavorful. The chefs know what they're doing!!! Staff was also helpful and friendly (as much as they can be given how busy it was - every table was always filled).If you can brave the wait in, definitely worth a visit.

This is a small and crowded place but the food was nice. The salted egg custard bun is a must try. Ribs are good, too. If you have a small group you might need to share a table with others.

We recently went to Winser for a late lunch. Winsor is not your Date night restaurant. It's small and lacking stylish atmosphere. Winsor makes up for this with great food. If you want real Asian food you need to try Winsor. Prices are also excellent.

Brought my husband here for his first dim sum experience. It is a smaller location so you may share a table with other people but that is part of the overall experience. We wanted to try everything and ultimately ordered more than our stomachs could handle but the dumplings are perfect for leftovers. A few of our favorite items were the scallion pancakes, steamed sticky rice rolls, and the steamed pork dumplings. We had a great time trying things that we weren’t quite used to and would ultimately return for more cheap snacks. Just to let everyone know there is a $40 minimum for credit cards. With their cheap menu prices it was hard to get to so make sure to bring cash.

Had our first taste of dim sum in Boston. It was definitely above our expectations.I would recommend the steamed Cha Siu Bao, har gao, lean pork century egg porridge and steamed pork rib with rice noodle. Not the greasy you tiao. Personally I prefer the har gao wrapped in a thinner skin but the thick skin wrap turns out QQ enough as it is served hot from the steamer.

Taste is good but pathetic serviceToo slow and the waitresses forced to tip $7 even after poor service. They keep the tea in front of you and if you have a sip charge you $2.5 for it. They haven’t written about those charges anywhere. So charged in total an extra $10 for nothing. Too rude waitresses. Food taste is good but won’t visit again.

I've been here probably 30 times, because the food is great and the prices are reasonable. But I have to change my rating from four stars to one due to the poor service I just experienced.To be clear, I always tip when I eat out. Always. Today, I paid the check in cash and was planning on leaving a tip on the table (a common thing to do). But before I could do so, the waitress came back and demanded I pay a tip in front of the whole table, which we were sharing with two other parties.She pointed to the tip section on the receipt and I told her that says *suggested* tips. She responded that it's for the hard work of the servers. I'm sorry, why are you putting that on me? Putting aside the fact I was already going to tip, it's up to the customer whether or not (and how much) they want to tip. Tips are *earned* through good service, not by shaming your customers. Raise your prices or wages if your staff aren't earning enough. Clearly I'm not the only one to have experienced this, according to the other reviews.The folks in the kitchen are pumping out great food. It's a shame your servers are doing them such a disservice by acting so rudely. And it's a shame that they just lost a (formerly loyal) customer.

One of the most popular dim sum restaurants in Boston Chinatown. Winsor has its historical place on the narrow and bustling streets steps away from the Chinatown sign. The dishes claims their authenticity from their presentation and taste. Fairly priced, for about $20/person, one get to enjoy a great variety of dishes.Most recommended dishes to try: Phoenix (aka. Chicken) feet, the meat fell straight off the bones with its mouth watering taste. And the steamed egg yolk custard buns, the richly filled egg yolk flows out of the bun as one takes a small bite, a mix of savory and sweetness makes a long lasting impression both on the minds and mouth.A local favorite and worth a try for those looking for a good dim sum restaurant. Be there early though, there will be a line.
