When it comes to the greatest quality and variety of Chinese food, Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood is the unquestioned leader. Whether you’re hailing carts full of dim sum delights at Hei La Moon or slurping down hand-pulled noodles at Gene’s Chinese Flatbread Cafe, your taste buds are in for a treat. If Chinatown isn’t your thing, restaurants in other Boston neighborhoods — or even the nearby cities of Cambridge and Somerville — offer plenty of delicious cuisine as well. But which of these eateries are the most popular?
Thanks to data from check-in app Swarm, we were able to find out which Chinese food restaurants people checked into the most from Wednesday, May 11 to Tuesday, May 17.
For those unfamiliar, Swarm is an app from Foursquare that lets users check in when they visit locations like restaurants, bars, and parks. The app also makes every day a game with perks like coins and mayorships, and lets users keep track of streaks and places they’ve been with an updated profile tab.
Without further ado, here are the most-visited Chinese food spots in the Boston area.
