  They sell fully cooked Thanksgiving Turkey (Chinese BBQ style).  It's $4.25 per pound and comes with stuffing.  You need to order in advance and tell them the date/time you want to pick it up.  You also need to put a $20 deposit down.  Perfect for a Friendsgiving dinner or if you don't feel like cooking on Thanksgiving Day (they are open).  
  
  The turkey itself was very tasty.  Highly recommend.

  4-stars? Really Yelp? Blasphemy!
  
  I don't even know where to start, this place (I can't even say the name of this restaurant because I'd be lying every single time!) is so bad all around. Not to mention it made it on Boston's "highest number of the most serious violations: 130, dating to 2007" list. Google "best bar b que boston violations" and read the Globe article. Not saying all restaurants are clean, but it must be bad when it made it to the top of the list in Boston's pool of 1,000+ restaurants.
  
  I've had the unfortunate occasions to eat the food here as a select few of my relatives (inclu.. my parents, until now) seem to like getting takeout siu mei from this place even after I've warned them not to. It boggles my mind. The barbeque crispy pork is always over-seasoned and too salty. On many occasions, the pieces would be too fatty or not fresh to eat. Or if there are decent chunks....they still hide the crappy portion underneath so you won't visually see it upon a quick inspection. Essentially, the product that you get is extremely inconsistent and not great. The char siu is also always dry. The duck never tastes fresh and the meat is chewy and never tender.
  
  Just this past weekend, my dad got a huge siu mei takeout order from here (unbeknownst to me) for my 2-year olds birthday and they gave him complementary soy sauce chicken drumsticks for the large order. "How nice" you're probably thinking. Not. I took a bite into the chicken and it tasted sour. Yes, the chicken was spoiled, who knows how long it has been sitting there unsold in the heat & for how many days. I took a whiff and it smelled nasty, my gf confirmed it was spoiled, fortunately we immediately trashed it before anyone else could eat it. It's infuriating, they risk people's well-being by giving away spoiled food, disguised as a complementary reward for ordering large quantities.
  
  "Eek! Methinks not" is an understatement, it should really be "Eek! Stay far far away!" Maybe when 0 stars get introduced. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere because there's nothing to see here other than bad-quality siu mei that likely was leftover from the days prior.

  I have to promote this place. It's not for everyone but it's perfect if it's what you're looking for - Southern Chinese, Hong Kong style BBQ. Assorted meats including pork, chicken, duck, I think I may have even seen squid.
  
  The design of the store is meant for take-out to be eaten at home and shared with others as only one dish (of many) in a large meal. Being alone, I ordered the bbq pork w/ honey glaze over rice and a side of boiled/steamed veggies (cabbage) for lunch. It was $6. You can add addition meats for a couple of bucks more.
  
  It's not a great place for lunch as there are limited options but the meat is tasty, again if it's what you are looking for it's a valuable shop to have in your arsenal. It's not for everyone.
  
  Those commenting on cleanliness, I can understand where you are coming from. You see raw meat hanging on hooks out in the back. That being said - and maybe it's because I've lived in Asia - the back of Mcdonalds would probably concern me most as IMO it's just how the meat is prepared.

  Always my mom's go to Chinese butcher shop for roasted meats, pork, duck, chicken, crispy pork. Momma always knows where the good stuff is.
  
  The line of roasted meats seen in the window, the empty and plain interior inside, this is a grab and go kind of place.
  
  The cha siew (bbq pork) is finger lickin' delicious because they also drizzle it with honey after they cut it up for you. The siew yook or crispy pork is always crunchy, crackling, and crazy salty but sooo good.
  
  Everything is sold by the pound but if you're too lazy to cook you can order a rice box for $5.95 with any meat you want. They used to include a side of cabbage but this time I went there was a ton of rice and no veggies.

  My review is based on an actual visit a few months ago. It's a weird set up, you walk in, order, and then grab a seat and wait. The meat is hanging in the window and there is a guy just chopping them. The food had decent flavor, BUT, it was practically served cold. The portions were small, and the place was dirty.
