Yakov Rozenberg: Delicious food. Fast service

Jingle Huang: Was expecting better service, honestly.

Rajesh Prabhu: Great place if you wanted to try dinner Chinese food. My office is right next to this place and I tried it for the first time. I got the scallop with garlic sauce and some spring rolls. The food was amazing. The brown rice was plain and didn't have any taste. It was empty at around 2pm. Customer service was great and it's in a great location. They have outdoor dining but it's closed for the season I guess. One star less is because of the person who was serving my food was coughing and sneezing and also was not wearing masks. I don't care if you wear masks or not but at least wear a mask if you have a flu during this covid time. I had to rush eating my food and leave the place. Hope my next visit will be better. 🙏🙏🙏

Daniel Suit: Very good and flavorful food here!

A Fan: My group and I enjoyed dining here. We felt welcomed and were not rushed to order immediately. The hostess and staff were warm and helpful explaining parts of the menu that were unclear to us.Do not mistake Royal East restaurant as just a Chinese restaurant. It is only partly Chinese with lots of Malaysian flair.Almost everything that my table and I ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. The ONLY minus was the chicken curry dish. The chicken was evenly cooked, yet somehow tasted raw. The well-spiced sauce did not and could not cover the raw taste of any of the chicken pieces, which seemed to have not been at all pre-seasoned but just mixed blandly into the sauce.The television playing at the front of the restaurant was a bit distracting and almost took away from the ambiance, but the others at my table totally disregarded it and paid no mind. So, I guess it was just another "me" issue.I'll definitely come back and dine at Royal East for the courteous service, cleanliness, cocktails and delicious food. I'll just skip the chicken menu.Vegetarian options: There's plenty of vegetarian options.

Gordon ck: I from Malaysia but this food not good Flushing better than this store…Very bad

Kelly Cambridgeport: Royal East Restaurant in Cambridge serves Malaysian cuisine with some Cantonese mainstays that were part of the original menu from years back. Back in spring 2022, a large group of 22 people dined at Royal East for $75 each which included taxes and tips. There is no surcharge for the room reserved. On the evening we had dinner, the restaurant was at 20% capacity. The women's bathroom has two stalls of which one had an out-of-order sign.The grand total given to Royal East was $1,650.On the menu were the following items:• Appetizers (Roti Canai, Poh Piah, Halal Chicken Satay)• Bak Kut Teh (Herbal Soup)• Hainanese Chicken (deboned)• Dungeness Crab with Malaysian Chili Sauce• Beef Rendang• Pan Seared Whole Grey Sole Fish in Sambal Sauce• Udang Kelapa (Coconut Jumbo Prawns)• Malaysian Curry Tofu & Vegetables• Kangkung Belacan• Char Kueh Teow• Buh Buh Cha Cha (Dessert)The food was delicious. My issue is the quantity of the food provided to the group of 22, based on the $1,650 given to the restaurant. I have the menu prices and estimate quantities of the food. In many cases, the quantities I noted are a generous estimate on my part:4 Roti Canai 4 x $7 = $284 Poh Pian 4 x $8 = $324 Halal Chicken Satay 4 x $8 = $324 Bak Kut Teh 4 x $8 = $324 Halves of Hainanese Chicken 4 x $18 = $722 Dungeness Crab with Malaysian Chili Sauce 2 x $30 = $60 (high estimate)4 Beef Rendang 4 x $21 = $842 Pan Seared Whole Grey Sole Fish in Sambal Sauce 2 x $21 = $422 Udang Kelapa (coconut shrimp) = 2 x $23 = $464 Malaysian Curry Tofu & Vegetables 4 x $15 = $604 Kangkung Belacan 4 x $15 = $604 Char Kueh Teow 4 x 10 = $4022 Buh Buh Cha Cha (Dessert)-- 22 x $3 = $66 (high estimate)Retail amount of food provided: $654This means the restaurant collected approximately $1,000 for taxes and tips.If you are in a large group, rather than planning a menu with the restaurant, I would recommend making a reservation and then order from the menu once your group arrives at the restaurant. The total cost will be significantly less than if you plan a menu with Royal East. For Udang Kelapa, each person at my table had exactly one piece of broccoli and one shrimp.The Roti Canai was delicious, but two of them per table of 11 wasn't enough to go around. The Poh Piah is a veggie roll filled with steamed jicama and mixed vegetables in a wrap, drizzled with sauces. There were 12 one-inch pieces per table, which meant a small 1-inch piece for each person with one remaining piece per table.No rice was included in the meal which is strange for a menu that is salty and spicy. The restaurant was parsimonious with the quantities given how much it was paid. For $75 per person, we each could have individually ordered 4 or 5 dishes and have enough for taxes and tip.A group member pointed out that he was overcharged for a drink and the server shrugged and said the drink menu prices were outdated. The server had placed one water carafe per table and didn't replenish it until asked.

Wen Guo: Large portions; Really tasty

Daniel Chen: Pretty good restaurant for all the vegetarians out there. Got the vegetable fried rice and spring rolls and the food was lowkey a solid 7.5/10. Service was great and fast though. Overall I would recommend this place if you happen to have a debate tournament at Harvard haha.

Halley Z: yummy yummy in my tummy100% worth it

Sefa Cetin: Food so bad never again this restaurant never

TIM Reynolds: A+

B Song (BS_oow): Surprised why the rating is so high, as when I eat there at dinner time on Sunday, there are no other customers. The seasoning is extremely poor, basically adding some bean sauce to every dish, making them too salty while not spicy enough. of the fish fillet was uncooked. The price is too high while the amount is not enough. I was provided with hardly any service, but when I leave, I was required toughly to raise the 10% tip to 15%.I'm surprised why the score is so high. When I went there, it was the peak time for dinner on weekends, but it was empty. The seasoning was very poor, everything was fried in bean paste, salty and not spicy. The fish fillets were undercooked. Prices are high and portions are small. Forced to increase the 10% tip to 15% without providing any service.

Pengbo Zhang: This is my favorate! Special flavored Chicken.

Rick Wei: Very friendly waitress helped us take orders and even reminded it might be more than enough for four, she is very honest and we did not finish the dinner at the end. Haha…Great location and easy access for anyone want to tour the campus. Good and authentic Chinese dishes, love the lamb and beef.

Luong Nguyen: i ordered beef and broccoli omg i never taste anything so bad. the beef taste is old just nasty!!!

李铭轩: 垃圾饭店！卫生不达标，服务态度超级差，老板架子很大。洗手间脏的不得了。建议大家不要去这里吃饭，我去了一次就不想再去了！

Anish Patel: i used to live down the street from Cilantro. The cumin pork and dry diced chicken with peppers are my two favorite dishes. The other food is really good too, but those 2 are my go to. Staff is very friendly, and pickup orders are ready quickly, as well as dine in.

Dave Lee: Food was awful. Fried rice tasted like old oil. Hot and sour soup was bland. Beef and broccoli was mostly broccoli. Never again.

Cheryl Solomon: We were planning to eat in but parking is challenging and we do not live in Boston. We had bean curd homestyle, eggplant braised, mixed vegetables - scrumptious! Wish we lived here😀Dine in: Yes Takeout: Yes …More

Derek Thomas: Very very good place to have a lunch. Stylish environment and great food. Service was excellent too. I typically order very spicy food, do take their heat scale seriously. It’s as spicy as they say. I will be back!

Thomas Brady: Attended a private function here. The room was private, but still attached to the sounds of the restaurant. The waiters were attentive but not obtrusive. Dishes were passed around. Food was delicious.Parking: After 5 PM lots of street parking opens up in the surrounding two block area.

Michael Cerqueira: Very decent food and great spices. Recommended

Leopoldo Gracia: Delicious food and the place is cute, but definitely on the pricey side

Liz Guo: Best Hunan restaurant in town. Flavor is great and ingredients are fresh. My fav is Sumiao Tofu pot.

Paul L: Very authentic food!

Yanran Xu: Not bad! The crispy duck is delicious!

Han J (HJ): If I could give 0 stars I would. As a frequent customer to the place through online ordering, I found the food quality has been dropping recently. Especially, last night me and my boyfriend had dinner there, and then after we came home, both of us started to develop serious food poisoning symptoms like diarrhea and stomachache and therefore a sleepless night due to that. Bonus: there was a dead cockroach lying on the window mullion right next to me.

S K: Good experience.

Dan M: Got the dine out boston menu here this week. Although good portions and delicious food. 2 points off because I asked for mild chicken and my GF wanted spicy and they swapped them. Thankfully I can eat spicy but imagine if I couldn’t. Service was fair as well. I’ve come here before years ago when they opened and found it to be overly spicy as well. I realize it’s the style of cuisine however I asked for mild and my mouth was on fire — you can see the leftover chilis in my bowl once I put the rest of the chicken in my to go box.

Ivan Ang: It will be hard to find a place that has more authentic Mala Hunan food. For the real Hunan Chinese experience ask your server for "authentic spice" and send your taste buds on a trip round the worldFood: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Marek Michalak: Went as a part of Dine Out Boston. We ordered shrimp shumai (decent by a bit bland in taste) and spicy cucumber (more sweet tha spicy) as starters, their golden soup and the hot and sour soup (both were ok). The best part of the Dine Out menu were entrées - we got the popcorn chicken and the spicy cauliflower. We chose the cauliflower to be “authentic” spicy and the chicken to be “regular” spicy, but they seemed to be mixed up as the spiciest was definitely the chicken so look out for that! We also ended up waiting for rice a bit longer than expected, while the main dishes were already at the table.Conclusion - while the entire menu is long and can be a bit overwhelming, there are definitely some good dishes to be had there, but not everything is on the same level.

Yvonne Yang: Dine out Boston special lunch menu. Very delicious. Reasonable price.

Rasika Phansalkar: This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Bosoton area. They know their flavors so well, it makes you feel alive. I am glad they exist and I wish them well and hope that they continue to maintain this quality. I love Sumiao. ❤️

Sean Westgate: Sadly this restaurant is closed permanently from what I understand. We went a couple times in the last month which was December 2022. Farewell Mary and all your workers and family members. Thanks for the good food over the years!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Ricky Wat: Delicious

Chris Lahey: If you like spicy food, try the suan la chow show. I don't, so I get wonton soup. So tasty.Update: Mary's is closing Dec 31 2022

Lydia Chew: 🚨 CLOSING SOON (12/31/2022) 🚨They've been a Cambridge Central Square staple for decades but are unfortunately closing shop at the end of 2022. They never reopened for dine in after COVID. I went to check them out, knowing that pretty soon the opportunity would be gone, and I was astonished to hear that the average wait time for orders was upwards of 2 hours. Their kitchen has been incredibly backed up and they don't take orders online or over the phone. I'm not sure if the massive wait is because everyone is trying to eat there before they close, or if this issue has been ongoing throughout the pandemic, but party after party left upon hearing the estimated wait time.I ordered the scallion pancakes. Since it was a simple appetizer, it was ready within the hour. It was indeed pretty good, and it was paired with a very tasty soy sauce. I hadn't had that particular combination before but quite enjoyed it.Vegetarian options: Most of their popular dishes have meat, though they can make some of them in a vegetarian variation.

Charles Griswold: Mary Chungs has always had great food, but sadly Ms Chung is now in her 80s and is closing the restaurant, end of an eraFood: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Haley Martin: ETA: I’m so sad to hear you’ll be closing down. I will miss you and you will hold a special place in my heart always.Mary Chungs used to be my goto and favorite place in Central. They must've changed a chef or recipes because it's just not the same. I've gotten sesame tofu twice now, hoping it would be better, only to get an extremely watery and oversweet sauce.

Lisa Santoro: Orange beef absolutely terrible. It looks like they peeled an orange and thew the peels into the container. Beef was gray and overcooked.

Grant Barthelmes: I paid $17 and got half of the amount I expected and usually get at Chinese restaurants. Then I open the bag and there’s no rice with the dish either! The quality was only okay.

Nancy Feng: Mary Chungs best restaurant

Passing Stranger: Food was very watery, sauces were extremely bland.

JK Ames: Honestly, this is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. Or it was?Refusing dine-in service when pretty much every other single restaurant in the country has reopened is cheap and lazy. It seems clear at this point that they simply don't want to rehire wait staff and it has nothing to do with pandemic concerns.Quality isn't the same for takeout, and for me (I now only visit Boston occasionally - don't live here) basically makes it impossible to enjoy their food.

Annie Brown: Mary Chung's dun dun noodles are the best!

Sonii B: I was in Cambridge visiting my family. My dad wanted some egg foo young which he hadn’t had for awhile. I tried a few restaurants before Mary Chung’s said they could make it. When I picked up my order, I was asked how I knew they had egg foo young since it’s not on the menu…also that their chef can make anything he’s that talented. Guess what? It was the best I’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot. I will definitely return.

Audrey Barnes: Mary chungs is the best chinese food in Boston. They are not reopen for dining as it is only run by the couple themselves. Mary has been a staple to the cambridge community for over 30 years. Thank you for staying open!! If your in cambridge you have to stop by for take out.

Veronica Wisniewski: It’s been 30 some Years since I’ve eaten here. So this is a nostalgia review. I now live on the west coast near Richmond BC where you can find Chinese food people travel from Hong Kong for. It’s that good. I’ve never found anything like the Soan la shoa choa and Dun dun noodles served at Mary’s. They were that good. Reviews suggest the recipes and preparation have been passed down. May the legacy continue. I hope that I will someday have the chance again.

Henrik Toncic: Still the best, most flavorful Chinese food anywhere in the vicinity. Their sauces are sublime!!! Dumpling sauce, peanut sauce, duck sauce, everything. Good generals too. Thank you for so many years of consistent quality service.

Eli Hochberg: I ordered a beef dish and soup. The soup had almost no flavor, mostly just hot water and the beef was chewy. The food just overall did not have very much flavor.

Kyle L.: Been going here my entire life, it's still my favorite restaurant, period. Hands down. Enough said.
