Modern Chinese restaurant with poorly executed creative menus. Saw the hype on social media about their toast and spam fries and decided to take a visit. Their idea of modernizing Chinese dishes was mostly confined to infusing street food elements. Sounds great on paper, but their execution was fairly unremarkable. With the exception of the seafood crispy noodles which I liked, all the menus I ordered were mediocre at best. The sweet chili sauce on the cauliflower was too watery and poorly integrated. The ramen crust on the chicken barely made any difference in texture, and the quality of chicken was also not great. Nothing from the spam and taro fries and the Double Chin fried rice were worth the hype on social media. I haven’t tried their famous Cube Toast so I cannot comment on those, but their regular entree menus were certainly disappointing.

Absolutely amazing food. Everything about this place is unique, innovative, an exciting. The atmosphere feels trendy and gives a welcoming vibe. The food is always perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning. I had the tofu chinwhich which was the perfect combination of crunch from the scallion pancake, softness from the tofu, and the crispness from the vegetables. Not to mention the honey sauce was amazing. To drink I had a lemon cola which was also great. My friend had the Poutine Your Mouth with the fried egg (sadly I don't have a picture) which he also said was amazing, and it looked amazing too. For dessert we had the Matacha Ma Call It cubed toast, which was basically different pieces of French toast in a cube with green tea ice cream on top of it, plus fruit, mochi, cereal, poki sticks, and chocolate syrup on it. It was probably the best dessert I ever had and certainly worth the wait. This is probably the most unique restaurant I have been to in Boston and a must-visit if you are in Chinatown.

If there’s any restaurant in Chinatown that deserves style points, it’s Double Chin. They have old favorites (Beef Chow Fun), play-on old favorites (Char Siu Pineapple Bun), random fusion dishes (Kimchi Alfredo), and dishes that purely confuse (Double Chinwich???). On pure taste, Double Chin is pretty good. The later in the evening you go, the better the food seems to taste - they’re open until 4am Fridays and Saturdays. For a late night snack, I recommend the HK French Toast. It’s filling, sweet, shareable, and just SCREAMS decadence.

Over all really good! Some of the food was delicious, and some was pretty flavorless The good; The Salt & Pepper wings, Lobster Rangoon were great! The kimchi fried rice and Korean rice cake cheesy sausage dish were good, but a little less flavorful than I would have expected on the spices level from the description, pretty tasty though! And the honey toast was phenomenal! The not so good; The "mac and cheese" wide noodle dish was totally flavorless, I think I understand the fusion they were trying to go for, but boy was it bland... The fish and chips was not all that as well, though the fries were very good, and between the two bubble tea that me and my friend got one was almost watered down tasting, and the other one was super concentrated and tasted more like coconut than taro. I loved the atmosphere though, and the service was super nice, and it was super cute to be able to just walk on over up some stairs to the bakery and get some to go dessert, and they were very kind in there too. So overall even though some of the dishes were hit or miss, I definitely come back to try more the good stuff was very good! And the not good stuff was just okay at the worst.

Great place, really like the mac and chesse with rice noodles, and the span fries, deserts are interesting. Siracha bites are too small, like you dont feel the chicken, but no bad. The duck missed the mark salty and not well clean, do not order.

Creative menu for Chinatown in a modern, updated setting. Seems a little out of place for Boston Chinatown, but not in a bad way. Didn’t try any of the sandwich or fries, but the ice dessert was perfect for a hot day. Singapore noodle also good.

After a second visit, unfortunately I have to revise the rating down due to disappointing tasting of their four dishes I ordered this time. Peanut butter tofu was just way too sweet, kimchi fried rice (the sunny side egg was pre-made, hard and cold, rice was filled with chill oil, cheesy Korean rice cake was very bland, everything was thrown together, and the worst one, siracha honey chicken was just sweet and sour chicken without the siracha flavor. Love the idea of being fusion, but it’s got plenty of room to improve. A so-so 3.5🌟 (too bad Google doesn’t have half point stars). Walked by many times but never had the urge to step in until this time. Perhaps the name or the menu looked too unconventional for those looking for Chinese cuisine, simply not “authentic” like Dumpling House or Lee’s seafood. I had to admit my inherent biases after the visit. Owned by the two Chin sisters (hence the name Double Chin) who shared their deep passion for Chinese cuisines, they wanted to created something unique yet preserving the Chinese cuisine’s identity. Double Chin’s menu was simple and many items can be found in many Asia-fusion restaurants, however, their specialty menu page was what caught my eye. To be honest, it is a daring act to create a fusion menu when it is Chinese + something due to the dominating flavors demanded by Chinese style cooking. So I gave them a 5 🌟 for taking on the daring act. We ordered two recommended items from the specialty menu, the Corn Elote Skillet Rice, mixing lime spice used in preparing corns among Mexican street vendors and melted cheese with fried rice. I was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing taste from the lime spice and the taste of fried rice on a skillet. The other item was Hong Kong hot chicken Katsu Boluobao-wich, the easiest way to describe this is basically chick-fil-a + Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich on steroids. Covered by the Hong Kong style sweet tasting Boluobao buns (one of my favorite pastries), the deep fried chicken (as tender as those from chick-fil-A), sits right in-between the buns, oh and there are spicy kimchi in the place of traditional pickles. Take a bite of it, the mouth-watering taste of five layers of sweet->spicy->tender->spicy->sweet travels through every taste bud in your mouth until you furiously taking the second bite. A little heavy for sure, but who thought of Popeye’s spicy chicken sandwich being heavy when we were devouring it? Overall, I was impressed with the innovative menu items and their courage to offer a never-tested fusion menu in the highly competitive and brutal Chinatown Food Colosseum, where restaurants frequently open and closes every couple of years. A must try for those enjoying great food and especially the foodie explorers!

So delicious!! It’s my new favorite restaurant in Massachusetts 😇 Don’t forget to check out their bakery on the side for some delicious fresh baked items!!

Visited Double Chin Modern Asian Restaurant recently and had a delightful time. We checked out the desserts and absolutely loved the ube cake - a distinct, vibrant, and palate-pleasing delight! The service was excellent, efficient, and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience. This place is evidently popular, as judged by the constant influx of patrons, which we took as a strong testament to its quality and appeal. If you're looking for an engaging, culinary adventure filled with modern Asian flavors, Double Chin is undoubtedly a go-to spot. Don't forget to leave room for dessert - the ube cake is a must-try!

I always love coming to this place. It has really fun fusion food (say that three times fast). This time, I had Hong Kong style milk tea, scallion yakisoba ramen, and poutine. The poutine has kimchi but not a lot. I wish there was more cheese too. But I did enjoy having waffle fries at a place other than Chik Fil A The ramen was very greasy and oily. It had a lot of scallions and bean sprouts. And the milk tea wasn’t very hot when I got it, but it was still tasty. It’s hard to do milk tea wrong, though I’ve also had the cube toast in the past. If you get that, bring a big appetite or a lot of people because it’s a lot of bread

I went there with my friends and the atmosphere was really cozy and nice. Staff really nice and they have a lot of dessert that I wanted to try. My friends and I shared a toast with ice cream, which was pretty good price considering the amount you got.

Love the fusion of HK Café style dishes! I would come again to try more. My one complaint is the HK Milk Tea did not seem to be sweetened by condensed milk like the traditional Milk Tea. Must order the Spam & Taro Fries which is served in a Spam tin!

We loved the food, oh my, so good!!!! Dinner for three..starter sesame chicken then..Beef and broccoli, XO seafood bowl, and I got Singapore noodles..all so good with fried rice and steamed veggie sides..drinks of Kirin and Prosecco..so great, excellent nice server, we are moving our daughter into Emerson and this gave us great fuel for that!

Great atmosphere and I love the mango tea that they served. This is the only place that I know that sells Hong Kong style French toast that tastes the same as it did in Hong Kong! However it's a bit on the expensive side but that's to be a given since it's in the heart of the city.

This is a hidden gem I discovered while wandering around Chinatown today. They have the best pan-fried pork dumplings. The spam and taro fries are really good and filling. And to top it off, the iced milk tea is very delicious. 😋

Y’all - let me just tell you this place is magic. I love how creative they got with some of there dishes and drinks. I had no issues with service and it was a busy Sunday night. The food tasted great and came out quickly. We ordered a flight of soju, loved every sip. I can’t wait to go back again and try some other things out. ❤️

I joined in the laughter when my local friends made fun of the restaurant's name because of its literal meaning in Japanese, ignoring everything else about it until their recommendation that I dine here if I'm in Boston's Chinatown. We made the decision to dine there because I was in Chinatown in Boston and was starving. My laughter stopped when I was reminded of what was actually served there, and I started to take it seriously because they presented food from my ancestry with an emphasis on its presentation being on par with its flavour! (焗？)豬扒飯, or a baked pork chop atop fried rice [baked?] with sweet tomato sauce over it all was the very dish that warmed my Hongkonger heart as that is my all-time favourite lunchtime food that I could probably eat so many days in a row and not get bored of it! There is no question that the chef in the kitchen is of Hong Kong ancestry, and I could tell that he is creating this from the heart. The restaurant's décor definitely has a Hong Kong cafe vibe to it, albeit perhaps having a younger appearance than one might have anticipated. Neither is it overly chaotic or boisterous. It was a fantastic setting for having many chats and enjoying delicious cuisine.There was a great deal of attentiveness, friendliness, and no issues with the staff. The location was tidy and well-kept. In conclusion, even though Boston certainly has more restaurants that are distinctive to it than I could have selected, I feel that this restaurant answered the call of my Hong Kong spirit in culinary form for more than two years. I would not have chosen any other location for lunch. The prices were reasonable, the staff were friendly, and the meal was excellent and authentic. In the end, it made me and my friends feel happy. This is a must-stop restaurant in Boston's Chinatown, in my opinion!

I went for a dinner for six and it was fantastic! The Bang Bang Shrimp was great and the Vermicelli noodles are a good choice too. There are tons of dessert options as well. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the whole place was very clean and pretty inside. Everyone was very polite. 10/10!!!

I went to double chin last year and I absolutely loved it the food was good. I came back hoping for the same experience but was met with disappointment. The food was decent but everything felt under seasoned…like something was missing. The elote skillet was different from when I had it the first time, my strawberry pina colada was bland, my donut for my dessert was over cooked. The only thing that was really pleasant was the Taro and Spam fries. It was also really cold I would have appreciated if they turned on the heat. Overall, my experience wasn’t horrible but I’m not anticipating a return anytime soon.

Spam Taro fries. Enuf said. These must land on your 👅 . Crunchy, creamy and the sauce is unbelievable

The drinks are very good. They pour them strong. Really liked the Asian Mule and the Litty boba drink. The elote fried rice was very tasty Veggie dumplings taste excellent and are fried to perfection. I dont know if they make them in house but I feel like they might. Crunchy Ramen Salad is so tasty! Love the flavors. Wasnt a huge fan of the soju roulette, there were a couple flavors in there that no one at the table could stomach. Taro and spam fries are solid. Very tasty One thing ive notice the last two times ive come here is that it sometimes smells like dirty dish water to me but Im not sure if thats just my nose. Also I used to like the mac and cheese dish but the last time i got it, idk if it was the smell altering my perception but it tasted kinda like it too. Overall really like this place! And theyre open so late theyre great for after going out.

Stopped by here for a late lunch. Was seated immediately as it was pretty empty. The menu's were kind of old with prices marked out for new ones and some dishes just marked out. My wife and I got the kimchi fried rice and chili popcorn chicken. The kimchi fried rice was really good, could've had more kimchi for the price though. My chili popcorn chicken was also really good, however it did not come with rice so I paid an extra four dollars for a cup. It was seasoned fairly well with an extremely light coating of fry batter. However, the chicken came with no sauce. I anticipated a sauce coating on the chicken or on the side to dip instead of just chopped chili's sprinkled over. I Don't know if I'll be back seeing how Chinatown has an almost endless amount of great restaurants. The service was fine. It was a bit pricey for the taste but you get a good portion size so it kind of balances out.

great place to dine in after a late night at a goth club. friendly staff, great food, with the ‘small on the outside but big on the inside’ type of space. i loved the boardgames and books that you can take off the shelf and bring over to your table to enjoy. the only thing i would recommend is that they should renovate the quality and overall cleanliness of the bathrooms

Cannot rave enough about this place. The food was delicious, the drink was yummy and so fun. Came here right before show at the Wilbur and will definitely be coming back for dessert.

I dined alone, so I'm unsure if this swayed how my service went, but after being seated it took quite a while for my order to be taken and then I was ignored for the remainder of my stay after my food was delivered, I had to get someone else's attention to get my hill and pay. The food however was absolutely delicious. I ordered the XO Sautéed Rice Rolls - housemade XO sauce w/ beansprouts & fresh rice rolls. The dish is served in a warm cast iron skillet that is roughly 7-8" in diameter, the smell is mouthwatering with the savory flavor profile of the dish, and the umami flavor is rich with a nice depth of flavor from their XO sauce. The rice rolls were extremely filling with me barely able to finish half before I had to tap out. I also ordered the Ube Crepe Cake with Taro Boba, it was very rich and extremely delicious. The taro Boba paired well with the cake and it's creme filling. The service staff took my plate but left my "cup" of Boba when I finished the cake but was still eating the boba, removing my only eating utensils, so I had to take the Boba as a shot. Was still pretty tasty. Decent food, didn't finish the rice roll fish, took to home and had it for a late night dinner. Reheated up well.

Definitely not the most sophisticated of restaurants but there are a host of reasonably priced meals that taste good. I recommend the spam fries as the starter. The drinks are pretty good and a lot of them are fun too. You might be surprised how long it takes to get them but overall the service is good and it's part of the experience they don't seem to mind you hanging out. I've yet to try the dessert but it looks good and I see people eating it there all the time so I imagine that they offer reputation for good desserts. Parking.... Well it's Chinatown so you're on your own there. Cleanliness.... Seems in line with the cleanliness that you might get in a local bar. The staff: they always are super nice. I've always felt like they appreciate the business and treat you right.

Best restaurant ever. Creative recipes. Definitely a hidden gem.

Had to go out of my way to leave a review (i never leave reviews) If you are looking for AMAZING service and even better food this is your place. I drive 40 minuets just to come here. They have the best service you could ask for. Good service is rare these days. This place is amazing end of story.

Had a blast! Went for a friend's bday and server was great. The dishes were filling and the food was gorgeous. I enjoyed everything. Definitely a place to get a group of friends to all get different things and try everything. Has a little bakery attached to get some after snacks to take home
