Have you ever been to Boston's Chinatown? If you have, which places did I hit or miss on? Which Chinatown in the world is your favorite and you want us to visit?
I've seen most of your videos but can't remember whether you've ever gone to the Chinatown in Flushing, Queens. If not, you have to go. It's the real Chinatown in NYC, just like Arthur Ave in the Bronx is the real Little Italy.
@@61hink Flushing is pretty cool. Has a great mix of old and new. Sad to see that the Chinatown in new york city is slowly disappearing due to gentrification and high cost of real estate.
Grandpa is super cool and handsome, young and old. Boston Chinatown is definitely underrated, has great food. This is coming from a native NYer, now living in the Bay Area and been to many great Chinatowns and cities including Vancouver/Toronto, Philly, HK, Singapore, Thailand, etc.
A lot of his friends and family are longer here😭😭😭😭. I cried when you mentioned that, it sucks when getting older and people whom you knew in your life already passed on one by one. Watching this reminded me of my dad and grandfather whom they passed on, will never forget the things and activities we did and bonded together . Miss those days so much...
This brought emotions of joy to me. In longing and appreciation of sharing time with family and friends. Food is a binder and most delicious to share. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good to see you and your grandpa out there sharing your favorite spots in Chinatown, awesome video. You all stay safe and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Those B&W photos remind me of my dad, when he moved to Canada. Snazzy suits and stylish sunglasses. Love the Boston Chinatown vibe. Good cheap eats too. I remember the time when my ba, took us to Boston's Chinatown, in 1972. He had friends and relatives there. We were making our way down to Florida. RIP, pop.
Chinatown Boston rocks! I didn’t get any usual Chinese restaurant food , but the Dim Sum spot is the one in the huge old fancy theater! The guy who owns it is the “Mayor” of Chinatown. Awesome guy! The Boss!
Yes and this grandson is even more awesome! I know many grandpa who loves their grandkids unconditionally and who would want to spend time with them but I have never met a grandson like this kid who unconditionally loves his grandpa and wants to spend so much time with his grandpa.
I lived in Boston for about 10 years and Chinatown is one of the biggest parts/reasons why I miss that city. I would go every single weekend for groceries at this one place. It had such good produce and frozen dumplings. And there was (maybe still is?) a hot pot restaurant that was my go-to for dates. It was very simple and fresh, but for some reason impressed people lol damn this video pulled at my heart! And speaking about the OGs finding a gathering spot, there used to be a McDonalds in Chinatown, you could not ever sit down. There was never a line to order food, but the restaurant seats were full, seriously, not an empty seat, just because people were nursing a coffee and hanging out. Boston's Chinatown is so damn charming.
He is equally lucky to have a great grandson like this kid. I know many grandpa who loves their grandkids unconditionally and who would want to spend time with them but I have never met a grandson like this kid who unconditionally loves his grandpa and wants to spend so much time with his grandpa.
i went to Emerson College which is right on the edge of Chinatown, I gained sooo much weight there in 2002 every night with the amazing cheap eats. Great food all around Boston
I'll search for special Cantonese Foods and have never had some of the items that you and goong goong ate! Roast Pork Puff, Curry Beef Puff, Cubed Radish Cake, Beef & Tofu with black bean sauce - and TWO places to try the rare Clay Pot Rice! Excited to visit Boston again. Big THANKS for referring to the foods in their CANTONESE NAMES first (in all your videos), normalizing this while casually explaining the food. This doesn't go unnoticed (what Asian-America looks like), alongside the wholesome & fun interview style & editing. Thank you!
Love your channel… Hard-core Boston food nerd here. Been going to Boston’s Chinatown since the late 1980s. Wai Wai, and Mei Sum still going strong after all these years. Love to meet you and your grandpa for lunch sometime.
Chinese grandfathers are the same as Italian grandfathers! Probably cuter though!😂 Wife-beater tee shirts! Probably a hate crime!😃 Chinese Grandpa can’t jump!😅 ALL this looks great!!
Dang! Now i know how ill be spending my time in Boston when i go. I can already be rolled down the street, this is just gonna make me easier to roll. 😂
this is so adorable. chinese grandpa is enjoying the food, but grandson is enjoying the food more. grandpa was about to karate chop if he smacked him lol.
I live in Boston, but not brave enough for authentic Chinese, I went to a hot pot in China Town in Boston not for me. Seems like you and your grandfather have fun together, that's awesome
I love this video. I have been eating in Boston Chinatown for decades, but I would love to try places I overlooked. I miss the spot all the way in the back on the right of the long gone food court 2nd fl corner of Beach and Harrison. Ginger scallion tofu rice plate.
If you ever want an adventurous sidekick who will taste anything, I would love to come have a day of Chinatown food with you guys-I'm in Cambridge-Holla:)
Ha, My Thai Vegan Cafe (which went by another name decades ago, Buddha's Delight I think) this place had my choice of My Last Meal... was my place to go in Chinatown before I got my celiac gene turned on. Sob. Miss it so much.
Lived here my whole life and sad to see the good old restaurants close, the pandemic hit Chinatown the worst and they’re still trying to recover - heck I miss being able to dine in at Wai Wai and HK Eatery
Grandpa doing tai-chi Awesome! I have visit China town next time I visit. Too bad I didn't know existed till I left the last time. I was bummed out. Looks awesome. Do many people speak English in China town? Would it help if I learned a few phrases? I don't mean to sound ignorant but each city has places within that are a little different from the norm and I know many from Asia visit China town.
Take him to IKEA and have the Swedish meatballs and try their deserts ... I'd have to drive 6 hours to Portland, OR for the closest one. If when in AZ stop there.
I’m dying to go to Chinatown I work at tuft medical right by there. I’m looking for the best chicken dumplings and would love to shop there. We have a huge Asian community of patients I wonder if he ever came in to see me for a blood draw. But do you have any spots you recommend and for shopping as well.

Chinese Grandpa and Chinese Grandson best comedy dynamic dual
I missed the old Golden Gate, 7:10, refired roasted beef on rice. The good old 1970’s, early 1980’s.
Finally a full upload!
Feel good video and good food. Thanks for posting!

That food looked so good
I literally subscribed for Grandpa ❤!!! He's the best and reminds me of mine (RIP) 😇.

Great content, been to Hong Kong eatery, but will definitely check out the other places.
That's dope you are in Boston.
You looked like Grandpa when he was young!
This guy's grandpa has a voice that sounds like Alfred in Batman, he can literally be the Chinese Alfred. Lmfaoooo.
or he can be triad boss
RIP Hing Sing. 😢
You can't loose Grandpa
My hometown
1:38 You can find good yams in Chinatown too apparently
❤
Now that you've showed us your favorites, I think you should hit 5 spots in Boston's Chinatown that you've never been to before.
Prime rib and tofu. damn!
Hah… loh bak goh is my wife’s favorite dim sum!
Gong gong got lost like zoro
Ding Ho is the place for cheap eats!

Have you also been to Gene's Flatbread Cafe? I love Boston Chinatown!
So handsome
Why would people think frozen dumplings shipped from New York tastes better? Doesn't make sense.
Is the Chinatown in Boston as good as the Chinatown in nyc?
Where was this from?
Repent before it’s to late Jesus loves you
No offense Boston China town is not that great. Everything in Boston is very limited and white washed
My. Dude. You understand that Apple life without having to say you’re in the fam 🫶🫶
How tall is yr grand pa seem about my heigh 5'5.
