I went to this place at the Malden location a few times when I was based more in a different part of Medford (and had wheels!). It was pretty good, they had an eggplant dish that was so great that we ordered it twice at a sitting. It was a cool place to go and eat dumplings etc with the family. At this point though I haven’t been there for a couple of years so I don’t have any recent intel on how they’re holding up.
Additionally, while I’m carping about Eater Boston I’m also going to gripe about the recent " Where to Eat Beef on Weck in and Around Boston" piece, which contained a grand total of three places where you could get this sandwich in Boston–one of which was Wegman’s. (And one of the others of which was All Star Sandwich Bar, where the Beef on Weck is fairly mediocre).
I mean really, just what exactly is the point of that? It’s not a useful guide, it’s just two restaurants and a chain supermarket. Via Instagram I know that the main witer at Eater just moved to a location in Medford close to Malden and has been posting a bunch of pix of food from restaurants there (mostly delivery, fwiw)–hey, how about a “best of” map of the places to eat in Malden? that’d be a heck of a lot more useful, and you could get 10 - 12 places worth writing about quite easily.
