Its been awhile but enjoyed it and reminds me of Philly’s with the old US Chinatown feel

[@anitayee9084]

Yes I like visit my Frist time Boston. ❤ and If I can afford visit Boston ❤.. L.o.l

[@61hink]

I've seen most of your videos but can't remember whether you've ever gone to the Chinatown in Flushing, Queens. If not, you have to go. It's the real Chinatown in NYC, just like Arthur Ave in the Bronx is the real Little Italy.

[@loodakris5928]

@@61hink Flushing is pretty cool. Has a great mix of old and new. Sad to see that the Chinatown in new york city is slowly disappearing due to gentrification and high cost of real estate.

[@DianeSeger]

That random guy in Chinatown was my husband. He was so excited to have seen you that he texted me your picture. We love you and Chinese grandpa

[@edwardquin4464]

What a great contribution you and your Grandpa have made to Chinese-American culture!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@minniec.9127]

Grandpa is super cool and handsome, young and old. Boston Chinatown is definitely underrated, has great food. This is coming from a native NYer, now living in the Bay Area and been to many great Chinatowns and cities including Vancouver/Toronto, Philly, HK, Singapore, Thailand, etc.

[@kentang1528]

A lot of his friends and family are longer here😭😭😭😭. I cried when you mentioned that, it sucks when getting older and people whom you knew in your life already passed on one by one. Watching this reminded me of my dad and grandfather whom they passed on, will never forget the things and activities we did and bonded together . Miss those days so much...

[@Scott-Tim]

Loving the vibes from this channel. This might be the first time watching a full length vid… Way decent!

[@evildrgo]

Chinese Grandpa is so funny always makes me laugh.

[@mattman7341]

I love the genuine relationship you and your grandfather have. It makes me miss my grandfather

[@nikip9161]

This brought emotions of joy to me. In longing and appreciation of sharing time with family and friends. Food is a binder and most delicious to share. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@martinquintana5837]

Good to see you and your grandpa out there sharing your favorite spots in Chinatown, awesome video. You all stay safe and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

[@terisgreen]

Didn’t think to explore bostons Chinatown..but now it’s def on my bucket list 🥰 much love from Houston!!!

[@907Lopez]

I just love the dynamic between you and your Grandpa. I'm half Filipino and we had a similar relationship...I miss him!

[@robertlee4172]

Those B&W photos remind me of my dad, when he moved to Canada. Snazzy suits and stylish sunglasses. Love the Boston Chinatown vibe. Good cheap eats too. I remember the time when my ba, took us to Boston's Chinatown, in 1972. He had friends and relatives there. We were making our way down to Florida. RIP, pop.

[@matthewmiller7527]

Your grandpa is awesome and I love the memories your building!

[@mn8931]

Yes and this grandson is even more awesome! I know many grandpa who loves their grandkids unconditionally and who would want to spend time with them but I have never met a grandson like this kid who unconditionally loves his grandpa and wants to spend so much time with his grandpa.

[@1bwash]

I lived in Boston for about 10 years and Chinatown is one of the biggest parts/reasons why I miss that city. I would go every single weekend for groceries at this one place. It had such good produce and frozen dumplings. And there was (maybe still is?) a hot pot restaurant that was my go-to for dates. It was very simple and fresh, but for some reason impressed people lol damn this video pulled at my heart! And speaking about the OGs finding a gathering spot, there used to be a McDonalds in Chinatown, you could not ever sit down. There was never a line to order food, but the restaurant seats were full, seriously, not an empty seat, just because people were nursing a coffee and hanging out. Boston's Chinatown is so damn charming.

[@JimmyGambiniEsquire]

Chinatown Boston rocks! I didn’t get any usual Chinese restaurant food , but the Dim Sum spot is the one in the huge old fancy theater! The guy who owns it is the “Mayor” of Chinatown. Awesome guy! The Boss!

[@echan275]

I missed the old Golden Gate, 7:10, refired roasted beef on rice. The good old 1970’s, early 1980’s.

[@franciscoramos8872]

Feel good video and good food. Thanks for posting!

[@ep.4588]

Love the time and interaction with Chinese granpa. He's tooo cute and funny

[@aramsalzman5650]

Love your channel… Hard-core Boston food nerd here. Been going to Boston’s Chinatown since the late 1980s. Wai Wai, and Mei Sum still going strong after all these years. Love to meet you and your grandpa for lunch sometime.

[@Shameka614]

Grandpa was handsome when he was younger!

[@skatebug6115]

W like grandpa a lot, a man who does his own thing!👍😊

[@MrBostonrobb]

Boston is a phenomenal City and area in a beautiful region of the country.

[@lizzyinhawaii5713]

Wow, grandpa was cute back in the day.

[@ra-vo1ky]

i went to Emerson College which is right on the edge of Chinatown, I gained sooo much weight there in 2002 every night with the amazing cheap eats. Great food all around Boston

[@SuziPoozi]

Chinese Grandpa is such and amazing and funny guy! You are so lucky to have him!

[@mn8931]

He is equally lucky to have a great grandson like this kid. I know many grandpa who loves their grandkids unconditionally and who would want to spend time with them but I have never met a grandson like this kid who unconditionally loves his grandpa and wants to spend so much time with his grandpa.

[@dynastygaming100k]

Finally a full upload!

[@FrithonaHrududu02127]

There used to be a tiny section of Chinatown that was Bostons Little Syria. Its where Khalil Gibrhan lived

[@chanjoyces]

I'll search for special Cantonese Foods and have never had some of the items that you and goong goong ate! Roast Pork Puff, Curry Beef Puff, Cubed Radish Cake, Beef & Tofu with black bean sauce - and TWO places to try the rare Clay Pot Rice! Excited to visit Boston again. Big THANKS for referring to the foods in their CANTONESE NAMES first (in all your videos), normalizing this while casually explaining the food. This doesn't go unnoticed (what Asian-America looks like), alongside the wholesome & fun interview style & editing. Thank you!

[@zx4337]

Love your grandpa personality!

[@fresnomw3]

Love grandpa! He's an OG fasho

[@jasondessin8962]

I been to the china town in Oakland when I lived in Cali. The food was always good.

[@Packman314]

Ding Ho is the best. I always stop there when I’m in China town. The curry chicken is fire as well as the food featured in this video! Must try

[@susanblamire4014]

I love this video. I have been eating in Boston Chinatown for decades, but I would love to try places I overlooked. I miss the spot all the way in the back on the right of the long gone food court 2nd fl corner of Beach and Harrison. Ginger scallion tofu rice plate.

[@jamesnguyen-qy1fx]

Chinese grandpA is cool as a fan. Yall are a dynamic duo

[@DarkKnightCap]

Boston baby!!! Best Chinatown. Tyler st. is changing tho. Can't get the "cold Tea" so easy anymore.

[@meversace]

Dang! Now i know how ill be spending my time in Boston when i go. I can already be rolled down the street, this is just gonna make me easier to roll. 😂

[@Packman314]

Everytime I go to Boston i have to stop in China town. I’ll be stopping at that hidden gem spot for sure this weekend when I go

[@Cmon_Nah123]

Loving all your videos!

[@luplew1444]

Food looks delicious. Great video!

[@Searching_4_the_truth]

Chinese Grandpa and Chinese Grandson best comedy dynamic dual

[@ep.4588]

I'm from Boston and now I'm a fan thank you

[@reubenrubina5694]

[@bigwoklun]

[@christinebryant5703]

Your Grandfather is a cool guy.

[@iGoVroomVroom]

[@justlulu9115]

Grandpa was fine back in the day!

[@meleahsanchez8879]

Hong Kong Eatery is my go to...love this spot!

[@MissShaneice]

[@wjspiak]

That food looked so good

[@1892fgod]

That's dope you are in Boston.

[@laurakenney100]

I agree it's the best!!

[@PhotoKaz]

Ha, My Thai Vegan Cafe (which went by another name decades ago, Buddha's Delight I think) this place had my choice of My Last Meal... was my place to go in Chinatown before I got my celiac gene turned on. Sob. Miss it so much.

[@JamaykangirlintheCity]

I'm taking a boston trip in a few months and I'm going for that 'curry beef patty' !!!!!!!!!!!🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@aequitasvox2488]

Grandpa doing tai-chi Awesome! I have visit China town next time I visit. Too bad I didn't know existed till I left the last time. I was bummed out. Looks awesome. Do many people speak English in China town? Would it help if I learned a few phrases? I don't mean to sound ignorant but each city has places within that are a little different from the norm and I know many from Asia visit China town.

[@career5690]

I had to subscribe because i like Chinese food even though I haven’t ate Chinese food in a long time.

[@shalianaponte6598]

If you ever want an adventurous sidekick who will taste anything, I would love to come have a day of Chinatown food with you guys-I'm in Cambridge-Holla:)

[@SickStyle201]

Lived here my whole life and sad to see the good old restaurants close, the pandemic hit Chinatown the worst and they’re still trying to recover - heck I miss being able to dine in at Wai Wai and HK Eatery

[@calvintam7348]

You should do an Allston food crawl

[@bradfordjhart]

I live in Boston, but not brave enough for authentic Chinese, I went to a hot pot in China Town in Boston not for me. Seems like you and your grandfather have fun together, that's awesome

[@ta7786]

I’m dying to go to Chinatown I work at tuft medical right by there. I’m looking for the best chicken dumplings and would love to shop there. We have a huge Asian community of patients I wonder if he ever came in to see me for a blood draw. But do you have any spots you recommend and for shopping as well.

[@pauldegregorio6432]

Chinese grandfathers are the same as Italian grandfathers! Probably cuter though!😂 Wife-beater tee shirts! Probably a hate crime!😃 Chinese Grandpa can’t jump!😅 ALL this looks great!!

[@drewsky28]

Boston has some of the best authentic Chinese food

[@afung89]

RIP Hing Sing. 😢

[@jaypress6657]

Chinese grandpa gets lost again!! Smh.. lol.. he's great .. it wouldn't be a video without him.. the food looks amazing.

[@Randysunwantedthoughts-fo5fh]

Hey, Chinese grandpa look like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or visa-versa.

[@NikitaLeeIn]

Yeah

[@WHOOOOOOOOCARES]

Is the Chinatown in Boston as good as the Chinatown in nyc?

[@Ggonzalez0619]

Where was this from?

[@GordonSin411]

Prime rib and tofu. damn!

[@wjspiak]

Take him to IKEA and have the Swedish meatballs and try their deserts ... I'd have to drive 6 hours to Portland, OR for the closest one. If when in AZ stop there.

[@km3961]

I literally subscribed for Grandpa ❤!!! He's the best and reminds me of mine (RIP) 😇.

[@61hink]

Now that you've showed us your favorites, I think you should hit 5 spots in Boston's Chinatown that you've never been to before.

[@tangymcelroy6418]

You can't loose Grandpa

[@ccsaysido]

You looked like Grandpa when he was young!

[@echan275]

[@tr7287]

Dam I miss Boston Ctown

Gong gong got lost like zoro

[@vincenteng7473]

Ding Ho is the place for cheap eats!

[@aramsalzman5650]

Hah… loh bak goh is my wife’s favorite dim sum!

[@JDCali459mm]

07:40 he's telling his grandfather about the 2am and 3am chinatown life. 😂 Bro. Your Grandfather work in Ctown during the "Combat Zone" era of Boston Ctown. Chinatown was 24/7. It was the red-light district of Massachusetts. During the day time, it was all chinese people that were allowed in Ctown. At night, all the non Asians visited Boston for the strip clubs, prostitutes, and adult entertainment theaters, gambling, and drugs. The Chinese restaurants made a killing. The modern 2am and 3am club scene is vanilla to what your grandfather or most OGs that worked in Ctown have seen or experienced. West of Beach St. and Washington St was door to door of strips, with nude pictures of their strippers displayed for advertisements and strippers standing on display behind glass windows. Navy sailors that docked into Charlestown would walk into Chinatown at night for the nightlife. The streets were littered with prostitutes, naked to half naked women all over the place. Believe it or not, it was complete madness. Chinatown did not sleep. Many restaurant owners were mad at city officials when they closed the adult entertainment industry in Ctown because it cost their revenue.

[@michellejennings4259]

❤

[@jasperg.4007]

He’s awesome! 👴🏻

[@FrithonaHrududu02127]

Im from Southie and ive always loved how tight Chinatown is. Its the only part of Downtown Boston that hasnt been totalky gentrified out of existence. Two of my favorite streets in Boston are there. Aesthetically i mean. Harvard St. and Johnny Court. Even the Combat Zone couldnt kill Chinatown. Back in the late 60s the city dictated a large chunk of chinatown, Theater District and Bay Village as the adult entertainment area. They literally drew a red line around it. Hookers pimps strip clubs gloryhole booths ...think times square in the 70s.

[@monicawilliams3747]

Gongon speaks Spanish

[@user-dragonlady]

Why would people think frozen dumplings shipped from New York tastes better? Doesn't make sense.

[@monicawilliams3747]

So handsome
