You can stop your search.Simply the best dumplings I’ve had out. These were made fresh and with care.
This food was just awful (dumplings - tough dough, sesame cold noodles - mushy/bad taste, string beans with ginger sauce - overcooked). It all tasted bad and had terrible textures. The one decent thing we got was the sesame chicken…but it was $18 and had no rice or noodles included and only had about 8 pieces of chicken. Huge ripoff
Wonderful little restaurant in the North of Cambridge! The big draw here is the handmade dumplings (most other places utilise machines) but here everything is made by a lovely lady. I strongly recommend the pork dumplings and also the basil chicken!
The owners are the nicest people and their food is fresh and delicious. We tried the chicken cabbage dumplings, cumin lamb and mountain yam vegetables and all three dishes were tasty. We can’t wait to go back again soon.
I had the vegetarian leek dumplings which were excellent. Good environment too. My family had the shrimp dumplings and spicy string beans which were also very good.My one suggestion is to have the wrap for the vegetarian dumplings a different color than that of the meat dumplings, which is what the nearby Szechuan's Dumpling does. Otherwise it is impossible to tell which dumplings are which, and that can be a problem for vegetarians.Also when we tried to call the phone would not be picked up, but that ended up not being much of a problem because we then decided to order through GrubHub.
Fine for what it is, but I wouldn’t go again. I got their famous dumplings and the General Tso’s tofu. Decent, but nothing special.
Overview: Sophisticated Chinese Cuisine. Talented, albeit, garrulous Owner. A MUST-TRY.It takes something for a busy person (me) to write a review. This spot deserves a look.Chinese food, to an outsider's palate can be complicated. It is easy for a Chinese restaurant owner to get lazy and give "Americans" food they will like. Orange chicken, some lo main, some steamed veggies, etc. And majority of us don't have a Zagat palate to discern. If its pretty good tasting, and the aftermath is manageable, we go for it.But this is Wen (the owner) and QuigDao is his spot is in Cambridge (one of the more sophisticated, perhaps slightly snobby areas on this Coast). Wen's food reflects all that.Yes, you can find all your typical orange chicken et al., but it is worth to take a little more effort with your chopsticks. Allow him to serve you fresh Lotus. Or steamed Chrysanthemum stems. His beef is excellent. (I haven't tried the pork) Wen (and his wife) is not your stereotypical Chinese restaurant owner. A bunch of accolades over the last 15 years attribute to that.I am not advocating for Chinese food in your daily regimen. But I INSIST you give this little place a try. And bring all your questions about cuisine, culture, and cooking processes - Wen has deep expertise and is happy to talk. Or just try a take out. But with this particular spot, be bold. Try a few things you don't usually dare. You won't be disappointed. Excellent kitchen!
So expensive especially compared to quality and portion size. There are so many other restaurants that offer bigger portions for better prices, and tastes better. Additionally their menu prices vs what you are actually charged is $4-$5 more than the menu price.
I told my friends about this place with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are great and the crew is efficient and cooperative. Whenever we eat in this place we have a cheerful evening. I recommend this place with pleasure.
Not the best! ordered chicken with vegetable and a soup. the order of the soup was wrong. initially no utensils and napkin were provided with the order. After asking 1 spoon and 1 fork was given. No sauce for the food. overpriced for the quality. i do not recommend it to anyone.
