Contrary to what tammy says about yangtze, it is not even the best chinese restaurant in lexington, let alone boston. The food is mediocre and the waiters terse. Every time I order something it lacks flavor and freshness. The food is overly greasy and the vegetable always soggy. The staple of so many restaurants, General Gau's Chicken, is never crisp and tender. If you happen to be looking for the best chinese food in boston, go to jumbo seafood in chinatown.

This is, by far, the BEST Chinese restaurant in Boston. Believe me, I have been to many, many Chinese restaurants before, and I know this is the BEST! Go there if you haven't! The service, the price, and the food is great!!!!!!!!!

I have probably gone to this restaurant more than any other over my life. I grew up in Waltham and for years Yangtze River was a weekly affair: my mother and I would go there while my father had golf or raquetball. Now I have to admit they have a lot on the menu we haven't tried, but that's because our favorites are so wonderful: Spicy Twice-Cooked Pork, Beef with Broccoli, and Hunan Sliced Jumbo Shrimp for entrees, and Peking Ravioli as an appetizer. Of course this is far too much for 2 people but we always wanted the leftovers.

Excellent authentic chinese cuisine. Great food, profesional service and middle of the road prices. As a Chinese person I highly recommend this restaurant.
