The Most UNDERRATED Chinatown in America? (Boston's BEST DISHES)

[@MrTaweiLin]

Just wanted to say thanks for all you do to keep our Chinatowns alive. Boston Chinatown doesn't get the love it deserves. Really appreciate you taking the time to visit and shine a spotlight on some great places. Next time you come back, would definitely recommend hitting up some Taiwanese spots. Taiwan cafe is a personal fave.

[@timsu3042]

Taiwan cafe is so bad and inauthentic what are you talking about

[@joshcostanza7250]

I got a whole bag of frozen dumplings from Taiwan Cafe. So good but quite fatty

[@charleswu6266]

We are group of families from NJ and Houston. Went in Taiwan Cafe with great expectation, came out with disappointment. Please take that Taiwan from their name, nothing we ordered can said authentic Taiwanese dishes.

[@amaurycabraljorge4785]

I dont know how Taiwanese Authentic that place is but Taiwan Cafe slaps!! Food is amazing and they have very good tea too

[@joeg8502]

Chinatown in Boston doesn’t deserve any love at all .. I have been working in the forty for years and Chinatown is full of disgusting unsanitary people and also restaurants .. Bostonians should all come together and get rid of Chinatown and everybody who lives in it

[@Ghostface3200]

Born and raised in the Boston area. Chinatown has really evolved. Kept up with the times. Very proud of the new gen entrepreneurs. They just need to figure out the parking situation. Been impossible to find parking for decades.

[@emenikeanigbogu9368]

Honestly might never get solved

[@jacquir8331]

Born and raised in Boston when they decided to remove the metered parking spots from Kneeland and Washington streets that ruined the areas businesses. A must eat restaurant is Hong King Eatery at 79 Harrison ave. The bbq pork is insanely delicious.

[@winstonward5129]

parking will never be fixed, they want us all on public transit

I've walked by Double Chin hundreds of times but never gone inside. That's about to change! Thank you for doing this vid, a love Chinatown. It's a very overlooked and underrated part of Boston.

Double chin is kinda weird bro

[@JoshMan821]

Thanks Fung Bros for highlighting the food and people from Boston's Chinatown. I'm originally from the 626 where the level of Asian food is obviously unparalleled, but you gotta respect the history and how long this community has persevered on the east coast. Wish I could've run into you guys on the street. Long time subscriber and love your channel.

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

Only been to Boston a few times, but Penang was a favorite recommended by my in laws. Ate there 3x and were never disappointed. Boston Chinatown is full of surprises, love from the 6ix.

[@Regza600]

I love WAI WAI, that’s legit my favorite place to eat at work. Glad to see Wai is getting the recognition he deserves.

Boston is incredibly diverse. People dont know it because of the movies that only show one type of boston, and because people only visit downtown and college neighborhoods. Boston and the surrounding area has every type of neighborhood you could think of.

[@petalchild]

So true. Boston is so misrepresented.

[@106andie]

I agree!

[@chrisdaniel1339]

My father used to work in Boston decades ago when Chinatown was called the 'Combat Zone' we would occasionally meet him for lunch and we went to this Chinese restaurant in the lower level of a building in Chinatown and it was fantastic. He would occasionally bring home Asian pastries, peanut rolls, and mini custards so damn good. Good times

[@dianaweld7777]

Loved your video & the way you bros. Communicate with one another as well as announce the dish in unison.I am going to try some of your recommendations.

I love Boston Chinatown lots of great memories and great food back in the 1980's my friends rented the entire top floor of a building (art studio) Chinatown it has it's own style.

If you are in Boston, whether it is living or visiting, you have got to be in Chinatown. It is so underrated and I pray to god all the gentrification and cost of living stuff doesn't make it collapse because it is amazing. You can walk in to any restaurant and get great food for a reasonable price.

Great video. I have a suggestion how about interviewing influential members of the Asian community. Serious but light engaging interviews. Like how we as asian americans make an impact in our world and community. Positivity and inspirational ideas and stories for the young Asian Americans. You could interview the mayor or local assembly members or congressional topics for a congressmen since you're mother is a lawyer she could help you. The Asian American foundation is doing wonders now. Maybe you can interview a board member or 2 in a serious setting. Have a more political voice and stance for your communities. Thank you very much. Hope you like this suggestion.

Boston's Chinatown has always been a hit or miss for me. I'd love to try more of it, but I can't get over the state of many of the buildings there. I don't want to give names, but I went to a restaurant there once that had a leaking ceiling (on the bottom floor) and the restaurant above it had rats. I wish the city would help with the upkeep of these buildings because so many of the restaurants here are innovative af.

Flushing in NYC (as well as Sunset Park in Brooklyn), while popular among locals and foodies, always get overshadowed by their most famous sibling in Manhattan. Honestly, Flushing kills when it comes to the food scene, and just authenticity / environment. I know you've done it already, but it deserves way more attention than Manhattan's. Literally no one ever talks about Monterey Park / Rosemead / Alhambra outside of L.A. Monterey Park has one of the highest concentrations of Chinese people and businesses in the area, but everyone always focuses on L.A.'s more underwhelming / small Chinatown in Downtown. You should cover it.
