Jumbo Seafood is hands down one of the best late-night dining spots in the area. We came in pretty late, but the staff were still welcoming, attentive, and never rushed us. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and every dish was bursting with flavor. The chili crab lived up to the hype, perfectly cooked with a rich, savory sauce that we couldn’t stop dipping into. The cereal prawns were a fun surprise ,crispy, sweet, and addictive. What really stood out was the overall experience: efficient service, generous portions, and a lively yet relaxed vibe even late at night. It’s rare to find a place open this late that doesn’t compromise on quality. If you’re craving seafood after hours, Jumbo Seafood is a must. We’ll definitely be back!

It’s it a nice restaurant, good atmosphere they don’t play music so people can actually talk or do their thing. They have a big menu which is nice, I narrowed down some things I haven’t had tried in most Chinese restaurants anywhere. The tea was good, so was the dumpling. The service is ok, they know what they’re doing. The menu has pictures so everyone knows what they’re ordering. It’s walking distance to the South Station so convenient to eat here while waiting to go somewhere. Will be back sometime

One of the best Chinese restaurant I’ve to. Steam clams and beef chow fun is on another level, I couldn’t believe how good it was. Boston Chinese food deserves a lot more credit, this food exceeds many Chinese restaurants across the continent, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco

Be careful when you eat Salted Egg Yolk Lava Buns. It tasted good but it really exploded on my coat, sweater, and vest and it was very hard to clean.

Jumbo seafood type of restaurants might be common in Hong Kong, but it's a unique experience here in the US, especially at this restauant in Boston's Chinatown. You can almost pet the food you’ll be eating! As soon as you step inside, you’re greeted by the sight and sound of aquariums filled with live fish, crabs, and lobsters, which adds an authentic touch to the dining experience. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional dishes that, for those unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine, can be a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, the waitstaff are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu and helping us complete our orders after the first few recognizable items. The dishes we tried were delightful, even if we weren’t entirely sure which sauce went with what. Despite our initial intention to find breakfast, we ended up enjoying an early dinner since the restaurant opens early. This impromptu morning feast made that saturday morning to remember for lifetime.

Everything was very tasty! We waited a bit as it was a Saturday night. Food was served on a timely manner and staff were really checking on us. Must try the lobster with glutinous rice which was priced reasonably well, the scallops with vermicelli, we also had the walnut shrimp and broccoli and lastly the chicken and pork intestines/tripe hot pot. Highly recommended!!

Not sure why there are posts saying that the service is bad. I had a quite good experience in the restaurant and all staff are very friendly helping us with the hotpot and prepare the meat for us. They gave us desserts in the end as well. The coconut chicken hotpot is highly recommended.
