Beijing Chinese Dining

Beijing sauce noodles with a dumpling side

Massachusetts Avenue / 1709

1709 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA 02420781-862-2100

Beijing Chinese Dining at 1709 Massachusetts Avenue names Beijing noodles and a range of dumplings, vegetables and tofu. Use this Lexington address when choosing an ordering site: the operator has a MenuStone route, while a separate same-branch Chinese Menu Online site displays different hours.

Build an order. Build a noodle meal around NOODLE WITH PEKING SAUCE 炸醬麵 $15.95, then consider MINI JUICY BUN 小籠包(6) $13.50 and VEGETARIAN DELIGHT 什錦羅漢齋 $17.95. MINI JUICY BUN 小籠包(6) contains the literal Chinese xiao long bao name 小籠包. The separate Chinese Menu Online Weekend Dim Sum category says Saturday and Sunday only, 11:30 AM–2:30 PM; it showed zero available items during this Friday check. Confirm vegetable-dish ingredients for stricter dietary requirements.

Before you go. MenuStone lists Monday–Thursday and Sunday 11:30 AM–9:00 PM, Friday–Saturday 11:30 AM–10:00 PM; delivery hours end 15 minutes earlier. The operator homepage prints a contradictory Sunday opening of 11:30 PM. Chinese Menu Online instead displayed Friday 11:30 AM–8:00 PM. These are source-specific hours; call to confirm the dining and ordering window.

Dishes to know. Soup dumplings

Delivery: direct The operator links MenuStone for PICKUP & DELIVERY, and the same-branch merchant page explicitly says Delivery and pick-up available. Confirm service and the delivery cutoff before ordering; no address-specific availability or courier identity was verified.

A little more clarity.

Are all six restaurants in Lexington?

Three are: Beijing Chinese Dining and Taipei Gourmet on Massachusetts Avenue, and Formosa Taipei on Marrett Road. Szechuan's Dumpling is in neighboring Arlington, Sichuan Gourmet in Burlington and The Great Wall Restaurant in Bedford. Each outside-town stop is labelled with its actual operator address.

Which regional Chinese meals are represented?

Formosa and Taipei Gourmet have Taiwanese dishes, including three-cup tofu and eggplant. Beijing Chinese Dining names noodles with Peking sauce. Sichuan Gourmet identifies Sichuan-style cooking, while Szechuan's Dumpling explicitly names Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisines as well as Szechuan food.

Where can I compare dumplings and dim sum?

Formosa lists crystal shrimp dumplings and pork shu mai alongside a bilingual mini juicy pork bun label. Taipei Gourmet's selected MenuStone labels state eight mini juicy buns and six shrimp dumplings. Beijing lists a six-piece mini juicy bun label. Szechuan's Dumpling lists steamed shumai without a count. The Chinese xiao long bao names are retained in the records; counts are used only when printed in those item labels.

Which picks name vegetable options?

Formosa names three-cup eggplant and tofu, Taipei Gourmet names three-cup eggplant and tofu together, Beijing lists Vegetarian Delight, and Great Wall lists Vegetarian Dumplings and General Gau’s Tofu. These names support vegetable-focused choices; ask the kitchen about broths, sauces and shared preparation for stricter dietary needs.

How should I compare prices, hours and delivery?

Four records use operator-linked MenuStone catalog prices. Szechuan’s Dumpling uses its published website menu and Great Wall its operator takeout PDF. Hours can differ by dining and ordering channel, and Taipei Gourmet advertises Delivery while its selected MenuStone route says neither service is available. Confirm availability with the operator; displayed prices do not establish current delivery service.
