Chinese food
Chinatown in Boston, Massachusetts, is the only historically Chinese area in New England. It is centered around Beach Street and borders the Boston neighborhoods of Boston Common and the South End. This densely populated area is home to many Chinese, Japanese, Cambodian and Vietnamese restaurants and marketplaces.
China Pearl Restaurant
The China Pearl is one of the most popular Chinese restaurants in Boston's Chinatown. This restaurant is casual and the decor is very Asian-themed. Some of China Pearl's specialties include vegetables and bean curd, their special sweet and sour sauce, lo mein, steamed barbeque pork buns and their fresh seafood--mussels, shrimp and crab. This restaurant is known for its dim sum, with servers pushing small rickety carts of food options past diners.

The Hong Kong Eatery
The Hong Kong Eatery, run by Johnny Chu, was originally opened by his parents in 1979 after they immigrated from China. Their goal was to serve Chinese food that Chinese people would want to eat, not Americanized versions of Chinese fare. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, the Hong Kong Eatery serves dishes such as salted chicken and fish with bean curd, short ribs with satay sauce, spring rolls, peking ravioli, steak with Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce and wonton lo mein.
