Business Summary what's this?
For four star Chinese, try Kung Fu Garden in the Greater Boston area. This is a great place. Located in the Chinatown neighborhood, this restaurant has been around for the last 19 years and is one of the popular spots in the area. This restaurant features catering. This place is handicap accessible and good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food transcendent. Try the scallion.
4.0 of 5 stars.
This is where I come for dumplings when I'm back in Boston. I went a few times in college with my dumpling-questing friends and we would order the scallion pancakes (they call it scallion pie) and a...
