What People Are Saying About Chau Chow City Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Chau Chow's first two floors offer seafood; the upper floor serves dim sum. All areas are patrolled by dutiful, formally-dressed waiters. The menu includes hundreds of offerings, from the familiar (moo goo gai pan, sweet and sour chicken) to the more exotic (honey-glazed jumbo shrimp with walnuts, conch with ginger and scallion, scallop with green beans and Macadamia nut). The dining rooms are often filled with wildly mixed crowds, as boisterous groups of Chinese-Americans sit alongside well-dressed club kids or tentative tourists.

Adding Tips By Yourself?
by LoveWilma
I ordered a takeout and 3 days later found out that the restaurant overcharged my credit card 10% of the amount I agreed to pay. This is rediculous - so the restaurant ASSUMED that I should pay tips without my awareness? I called the restaurant and was just pushed around. I guess this is a way they make profit!!
- Cons: Overcharged My Credit Card

Very good dim sum in Chinatown!!!
by chuchumouth
I just love it. It is so good and tasty that I go there once a week!!!! Their Dim Sum is probably once of the best in Boston Chinatown. The only inconvenient is it is very hard to find a parking in Chinatown.
- Pros: Excellent Dim Sum
- Cons: No Parking

I can live with the atmosphere but the food was not impressive
by PK2008
As far as atmosphere, Im not hard to please so I wasnt concerned with the place itself. My friend was raving about the calamari and it wasnt good at all. The fried rice was the only thing that was good. I ordered beef lo mein and I wasnt impressed at all. The noodles were super thin, and I asked for no bean sprouts and they still put them in there. For the amount of money I spent, I should of gone to PF changs.
