We visited ShoYu Boston on a Friday afternoon, just before the rush. After asking if we could dine with our well-behaved husky, the owner quietly nodded and welcomed us in.
We’ve ordered their roast duck and roasted pork for to go several times before and have always been happy with the flavor. This time, we tried some of their recommended specialties, and they didn’t disappoint—they were quite good.
With their clean restrooms and kind attitude toward my husky, I’d give ShoYu a solid 4-star rating. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Boston’s Chinatown.

Custom service was absolutely on the ground. Don’t recommend dine in.
The store wasn’t busy, the server was managing at most two tables including mine. Server hurried us to place order. When delivering the food, ‘hard’ dropped the dishes from the far end then walked away, needing me to move the dish in the center for the group to access. Dude was feeding his pigs. Then asked for a high tip with a demanding attitude.
We have been to this place for lunch and dinner multiple times, but this should be the last time.

This is a very small Chinese restaurant with only a few tables inside. The main business I guess is take out orders. There’s a big section of barbecue meats. It includes roast pig, barbecue pork, white chicken and barbecue ribs. I’ve tried everything except for the barbecue pork but I knew it’s good. The roast pig is the best. It has really crispy skin and all the meats are tasty. I always ordered barbecue meats on rice bento box which also includes Chinese greens. It’s 11.99 for 1 meat, 12.99 for 2 meats and 12.99 for 3. It’s really worth to order the 3 meats. Remember to ask for extra sauce on rice.
I always return.

I heard their bbq was above average and so we came for late lunch and were seated right away. They have two small rooms and they sat us near the entrance so we were cold every time the door opened. The 2 way bbq rice plate with soy sauce chicken and roast pig with crispy skin was served cold – well room temperature but they are in the entrance area so it’s pretty cold. Portion was on the modest side and the chicken was a bit undercooked for my liking and I am accustomed to the Chinese style of doneness but this was too undercooked. The soy sauce chicken did not have the rich taste it should so not sure they are using a well seasoned master sauce. The roast pig was ok and had a good proportion of fat to lean but the skin was barely crispy and the taste was rather bland. Disappointing bbq. We also ordered spare ribs and bitter melon rice plate and despite the black bean sauce, it was also bland. The yee mein had a nice wok hay and reminded me of my grandmother’s noodles. Service is efficient and place is clean with cute decor. They have an extensive menu so maybe we will return and try other items. U bet they shine when you are with a large group and order family style.

Since when do people order takeaway Chinese food and expect 5 star service
The food here is amazing. You can tell it’s clean and hygienic. That’s really all I care about (since I’m from NJ and this is just standard for Chinese spots there).
It’s been hard to find something like this in Boston. This place is definitely where I’ll be going!
The crab ragoons are also generously filled, I haaaate the skimpy ones.
Everything was amazing! The orange chicken was lightly battered and had amazing flavor too. It came hot!

Food was very quick, didn’t really understand the menu even though it was translated. We ordered egg drop soup and sweet and sour pork tenders. The food was good, the soup could have used a pinch of salt, and it came out super quick. The place was full of Chinese locals, which usually indicates authenticity. Should have read the reviews before ordering, they have 2 meat plates which looked amazing too. Hot tea was included.

Great new place to get authentic tasty duck and other Cantonese delicacies. Menu is huge, and reasonably priced. One plate is in the teens except for specialities just over $20, and is enough food to be satisfied but not stuffed. Atmosphere and service are great, just what you’d expect for a small casual Chinatown restaurant with a big takeout business. Loved the unlimited loose-leaf Chinese tea.
The duck was amazing and cinnamony but not overly salty or oily. Also loved the pork. The Buddha’s Delight vegetable and noodle medley was great. However, dropped a star because all of the dishes could have used more sauce. Especially the dry chicken and salted fish fried rice that lacked much flavor. I got maybe one bite with a hint of fish.
Overall, I’d come back. After I tried some more places in the area.

Food here is pretty tasty, and the BBQ rice plates come out super quick. The fried rice is very generous with portions and definitely worth the price. Definitely coming back for lunch again.

This was suppose to be half a duck! I got skin and some nasty calamari. Where is the thigh? Where is the leg ? Where is the breast? Not even close to half a duck.

Amazing food! The crispy pork belly was to die for. Portions are beyond generous for the price that you pay, would go again!
