Welcome to Jibei Chuan

“ My family and I came to Jibei Chuan for dinner and were seated promptly. There is a QR code on the table where you can scan and place your order. We ordered Fried Crispy Pork, Tomato Soup w/ Beef, Golden Soup w/ Beef, and Pickled Mustard Soup w/ Pork Intestines. The fried crispy pork was not good at all. There was basically no meat as it was only dry, hard, and flavorless. Although there were spices on the bottom of the bowl, the meat itself had no flavor. Out of all the broths, the golden soup was the best. It was flavorful without being too overpowering. For those who prefer a more acidic taste to their broth, the tomato soup is not bad. I found the pickled mustard soup a bit lacking as well. The pork intestines were pretty good, but the beef was a bit mediocre. They did not have much flavoring. I did enjoy the number of vegetables and mushrooms present throughout the dish. I think the dishes could use more noodles personally, but the meal was not bad overall. Service was okay, but I could have used more water refills as it was relatively warm inside the restaurant. I will come back if I am craving a hearty bowl of rice noodles. ”

“ Great place for noodle soups! My soup bases choices are mala, tomato, and pickled depending on my mood. The noodles are round and springy. It's a nice casual place to eat and the service is efficient and friendly. There is also a 5% discount if you pay with cash. I've been to the restaurant a few times and always walked in and been seated right away as well. ”

“ Came here on a Saturday evening for dinner and the place was relatively empty at around 6:30. This was convenient as we were seated quickly and served pretty fast as well so service was pretty solid overall. The place felt really clean and the ambiance was on a the trendier, modern side. The noodles were really well-cooked in my opinion - I enjoyed the texture and the taste of the broth overall. Flavorful without tasting too overwhelming in any capacity. I wouldn't mind coming back for sure if I'm ever in the area - decent noodles, good service, not a bad price. Very central location in Chinatown as well so convenient to vet to as well! ”

“ 4.5/5! Service is quick, and the servers are nice. BOTH savory and sweet dishes are great! I thought the broth (both fish maw and mala) had a lot of umami and seasoning, and the chicken meat was tender. The beef meat for the mala noodle soup didn't taste the best quality, and the noodles were just okay. But overall would come back for the desserts (already did!!) and fish maw noodle soup! ”

“ Ji Bei Chuan is a rapidly expanding rice noodle chain that started in China in 2018 (their website boasts over 400 restaurants there already) and has more recently expanded stateside, primarily in NY and CT. This small, bright place on Beach st is their first Boston foray and opened about a year ago. I popped in with my daughter and a friend and we were very impressed. --Sesame garlic noodles with tofu, very flavorful, medium heat from red chilis, this dish was my favorite. --Pork katsu curry, panko encrusted, crispy, tender pork, with a comforting curry sauce (not too spicy), and rice, delicious. --Signature JBC chicken noodle soup was a bit bland for me, it benefited from adding table side condiments like vinegar and soy sauce, but it is wholesome with plenty of Napa cabbage, black fungus, and chicken cubes on bone. --Brown sugar rice cakes were swoon worthy, hot deep-fried packets of chewy mochi served with brown sugar and ground peanut. Also the atmosphere is fun, bright, lively, good music, and nice staff. I look forward to returning. ”
