Best North Indian Vegetarian Restaurant in Boston Cambridge?
Hi, we are looking for a restaurant that has more subtle spices, and "dry" dishes, preferably many vegan selections. Any advise, chowhounds?
Best Real Cantonese food in Boston Area
I grew up in Brookline 30 years ago, and have fond memories of the comforting no frills Cantonese restaurants in Boston and Brookline. The Good Earth on Tyler Street and one on Beacon Street whose name I cannot recall. Anyway, I live in New York now, Sichuan Hunan etc. Going to be in town in March and need to know where real old style Cantonese food can be found. Thanks!

Hello and thanks for all the thoughtful suggestions. Just got home and first of all, what a great city! I am definitely going back. Good eats for vegetarians like myself as well. Reading Terminal Market was wonderful, food and atmosphere both. Also great produce. Shopped there before the ride home. We ate at Lee How Fook in Chinatown and were very pleased, especially with the noodles and soups. Ate at Marra's for our Red Sauce fix and also really enjoyed the food, the service, and the old school atmosphere. One afternoon the meat eaters wanted to go to Pat's so I got a Falafel meal at Maoz to go and it was quite good also. Better falafel in Philly than I find in a lot of NY places. Also thanks to Pat's for letting a vegan like me eat at your tables! Thanks again Chowhound folks.
Real Cantonese Chinese in Philadelphia ?
Hi all, just got back from our trip to Philadelphia. Tried to go to Shiao Lan Kung but they were closed due to a water problem. Ended up at Lee How Fook and I have to say we were all pleased with the meal. The pan fried noodles with mushroom were like I remember from the Cantonese places in Boston of my childhood, and the soups were FANTASTIC.

We are not near anything really, right by City hall. But we don't mind taking public transport or a taxi to south Philadelphia etc. Thanks!
Real Cantonese Chinese in Philadelphia ?
I am visiting Philly next week and noticed that there is a Chinatown. I grew up eating in Boston's Chinatown when there were a lot of true Cantonese restaurants there. Now I live in New York, lots of Hunan and Szechuan here. Is there a real Cantonese restaurant in Philadelphia? Thanks!

We are traveling to Philadelphia next week for a 4 day art museum and house tour trip, and need some recommendations for restaurants. Lunch and dinner. Nothing upscale, we won’t have the clothes and my son is 14. I am a vegetarian into ethnic foods. My son will of course eat 18 cheesesteaks and anything else he can get his hands on. We are looking for casual places that won’t break the bank, especially the best red gravy Italian family place, the best Falafel, Mexican, Indian? Thanks!
