EPIC Chinatown Cheap Eats Tour in BOSTON! (Pt. 2)

[@robertlee4172]

I like that Boston's Chinatown has a large population of Taishan locals. We're #1. ..Chinese to come to America and open our restaurants. Both my grandfathers opened Chinese restaurants. One in Canada and one in the Bay area in Berkeley. I've worked in restaurants all my life. Watching new entrepreneurs take the gamble and start a successful business is very humbling. Reminiscent of the old immigrants that came before them 100 years ago. The coverage of these new locations is a pleasure to watch.

You need to travel over to Lowell, ma for Cambodian food tour !!

[@Gokenshiba]

Hell yeah they do

[@Trackwalker1]

I think they did that with other people

[@ImTooWitty]

Lowell is the spot for Cambodian, Laos, Viet and Thai food. 30 minutes from Boston.

[@ChojinLove]

@@ImTooWitty which restaurants are good for cambodian and laos food in lowell?

[@TomLi8]

which restaurant you suggest? I live close to Lowell.

You guys legit make me discover my own city. I didnt think Boston Chinatown was that special but glad you guys think so.

[@henrynguyen925]

same here!

[@schauzeit]

I lived in DC before and I can say not all Chinatowns are created equal. Pleasantly surprised with all the great options when I moved here to Boston last year! Time to check out Chinatown again soon.

[@scottleung9587]

Thanks so much, Fung Bros, for opening my eyes in my own city! I gotta get lunch at these places more often when I'm in the office. Aside from you repping Brooklyn, you're always very entertaining and fun to watch!

Long live Hing Shing Bakery in all our memories. I will miss it so much. Been going there for almost 40 years, even tho I have lived in another part of the US for almost 30 years. I’m saving this video for the nice tribute to Hing Shing Bakery, at 8:29 ❤❤❤

Stop using offensive... that ain't it

[@sikskillz2186]

andrew still had 7 seconds on the pie. 😂 j/k. Seriously though, i think they all need their waiters to show pictures of these meals, and explain. most people are just use to the standard menu. i never even seen most of the food served up on here, from low cost to expensive. when i was living in houston by westheimer mall, their was this amazing the best shawarma place. the food was amazing. shawarma kings i think was the name, but i had no idea what to order, and it’s was a lost for me, and i still remember how i felt. massive vietnamese area. really amazing food.

[@Katie-mw7pd]

Fun fact: coffee-flavored gelatin as a dessert was actually invented in Boston in the 1800’s in a restaurant called Durgin-Park, and was brought over to Japan later. A Japanese student who studied abroad in the US is said to have been the first to publish it in Japan. So Ogawa Cafe opening up a location in Boston and serving drinks with coffee jelly is actually a really cool full-circle moment!

[@diedraunderwood1114]

I so miss my hometown. Have only back once been since I moved 7 years ago. Chinatown has always been one of my favorite foodie spots since a kid.

[@samanthatow4853]

Next time you’re in Boston Chinatown, y’all need to go to Chinatown Cafe in Tai Tung Village. It’s perfection! Also Winsor Dim Sum is great! Their Melty Salted Egg Yolk Bao is phenomenal.

[@SB-bp4bb]

Chinatown Cafe and the owner Bobby are great!

[@MarciaW.]

I said those places too lol

[@philmcculla4941]

This guy is the Best I passed through boston Chinatown 1,000 times but never knowing where exactly to eat was kinda always intimidated but not now ,I wish people like him made videos like this years ago.

[@OtisKopp]

Grew up in Boston in the 90's and Peach Farm is the best, glad it's still around. The lobster is amazing. The beef and chicken plates are also bangin.

[@elizamccroskey1708]

The spot that is Tora was for decades a small family owned Aquarium fish and supplies store. I loved going there to see all the interesting things they sold that you'd rarely see at typical American aquarium store and NEVER at a national chain. I liked the poke at Tora but I missed the old family and their "taste" in fish.

[@58shortboard]

Fung brothers, what a great tour of China town, Boston! I’m from l.a., always in the SGV, but will be in Boston in a few weeks. My nephew n niece are in college there, n we’ll be touring most of these spots! Thank you!!!

[@sabadinkle888]

[@tiffanyhwang1738]

Should go to Quincy and Malden as well. They are like the second and third Chinatown in MA

[@edchoi2428]

I went to BU years ago and love the upstairs Chinese food booths in Chinatown that individual owners cook their style of food. You have to try that place.

[@elizamccroskey1708]

I'm sorry dear, (known as 7 kitchens) it's long gone. Probably 2015 or 2016. It was amazing I agree!

[@donnachan6138]

Gotta check out Quincy,MA next time! It's only 20mins South of Boston. Known as second Chinatown, home to the very 1st Dunkin and can't visit Quincy without eating at the clam box or Tony's for some fried clams or lobstah roll. The beach is across the street. Personal favorite is Big fun Cafe, shout out to the owner Shu and her family

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I miss Boston Chinatown. My inlaws use to live within walking distance so when we'd visit, we'd hit up all over Chinatown for most dinners and lunches. Bro-in-law had himself a second kid and they moved out to Quincy. We haven't been down to Boston since a couple years before COVID so we're really missing it.

[@eeldude]

Peach Farm is the legit spot. We have all of our Lunar New Year family meals there.

[@entertheFinn]

Thank you for this!! I am currently in Boston for a couple days and this has been my guide. I legit just bought a hat from the same lady!!! Then some lychee mousse from the corner bakery. Hong Kong eatery was mind blowing!! I’m trying to get to all these places in a 2 days.

[@karenchen6763]

Quincy and Allston are great places to check out too in MA. Quincy is a second Chinatown and Allston has a ton of Korean and Chinese food

[@TomLi8]

Which Quincy restaurant?

[@karenchen6763]

@@TomLi8 Winsor or Ming's Seafood Restaurant for dim sum, Pad Thai or Yawarat for Thai, Chili Square, Fuji at WoC, Royal Hot Pot, South Garden, B Cafe. for desert, there are a lot of boba and snacks. my favorites are Momo Cafe (donuts and boba), Yocha, Vivi, Onezo, Mei Mei Bakery

There was a bao zai fan place in NYC Chinatown, and if you got it to go, they literally give you the rice and meat inside the clay pot and send you off with the clay pot. Well. We didn't know and the bag was really heavy, and when we left the restaurant, the clay pot broke through the bag and fell right on the street lol

[@redbunnytail9528]

I know I should watch this. I used to know Chinatown, as a 4 time a year visitor, but now it's this unknown. My parents would bring us to this dim sum place, Moon Villa, and we heard from people that it was a crappy place. So we went to Dynasty. It had more variety. Waiters, there, loved to mess with you. And I doubt it's still there. Funny fact. One time, my sister had a sack of cornstarch in her car, parked in Chinatown. Dudes thought it was cocaine, and they expertly removed the back window and probably were a bit disappointed that it wasn't what they thought it was. Anyway. My first memory of Chinatown, was not actual 'Chinatown' itself, but 'the Combat Zone,' which Boston got rid of. I kinda wish it were still there. I mean. Realistically, vice went some place else. You know? If it's in a fixed place, you can observe and monitor the situation. I just had a Chinese rice tamale for lunch, which they show in this clip at 0:10. Pretty sure, people, who haven't tried it, will think it looks really gross. It's not. This is the time of year for it. Frankly, I've never had a good meal in an American Chinatown. Maybe it's different now. I almost miss the Chinese fare that all the Chinese would make fun of in the 70's, the chicken fingers, poo poo platter, duck sauce, eggrolls wrapped in thick wanton skins. Back then the KEY was duck sauce. If you liked duck sauce, you were 'in.'

[@zoiek528]

7:10 what a conversation killer !

[@ISOCZAR]

Mayonnaise shrimp in Chinatown is the go to meal after a club

[@PirateChef1]

Another vote for Quincy, the new Chinatown. Easier to park and food just as good. Many Asian options and lots of new spots opening up. Tho my faves are Windsor (all day dim sum) and Ming's for their innovative dim sum albeit pricey. Kam Man for their siew mei...Roast pork & Roast duck

You guys did a great job hitting so many places but you def missed a lot of OG spots like Chinatown Cafe and May's Cake House, which is only a 5 mins walk away!

[@DjViceroy]

Any suggestions for side street eats?

[@conoyip]

There's two other cantonese bbq spots, Best Bar B Que and Great Barbecue but one of the best and longest running is Chinatown Cafe (roast pork). Near Best Bar B Que is Amateras Ramen. Near Great Barbecue, there's Wing's Kitchen. Gaga Restaurant as the best seafood. Great Taste has one of the best dim sum in MA. There's more that I haven't listed. There's also dishes that each restaurant is best/known for in Boston's Chinatown that is a must get that I feel Andrew and David need to revisit.
