So after a stepping on land mine at Peach Farm Chinese restaurant few doors down the night before, I decided to not look at online reviews.
My strategy: if there are lots of Chinese eating inside a Chinese restaurant, it gotta be good.
See lots of Chinese eating in the restaurant. And lots of fresh seafood display in front.... Sign of freshness.
It didn't disappoint. Order double lobster, with the $10 option for noodles. Tested their $7 surf clam. If it ain't good, I'll just throw $7 away. No harm trying.
Boy,.... That's $7 well spent! The surf clam is part tender, part chewy, lots of garlic. This is the go to dish for me from now on. Cheap, tasty, fresh.... It's like I found my treasure chest in Boston!
Half way thru, there were line up for tables.
So if you see lots of Chinese in the restaurant, food should be decent.

So, I searched for good Chinese lobster in Boston and this one pops up as top 10. I went at 6pm. There was only one table. Pretty empty for dinner time. Not a good sign.
But waitress friendly enough so against my gut instinct, I decided to stay. They presented us 3lbs lobster with 2 claws. But when the lobster arrived, there was only a quarter. When confronted, the waitress said we have to order "double lobsters" to have both claws?? Please see pic.
The taste was starchy. Taste isn't authentic.
Service was lacking too. They never refill the tea.
They added 19% tip to the bill automatically for 2 person. I told them their services lacking, and don't deserve 19%. She asked how much, I said 15% and she just refunded me the 4%.
Avoid this tourist trap. If there's no Chinese eating in a Chinese restaurant during rush dinner hour, that's a bad sign. Should have followed my instinct.
