Vegetarian Lo Mein? Might as well call it Oil Lo Mein. Counted 4 pieces of carrot, 5 pieces of (very sketchy looking) celery, and a couple of items I wasn't sure what they were. The only thing that really stood out was the oil. I have NEVER seen Lo Mein this nasty. Ever , No flavor, just grease. Disgusting.

Chumlee's is a particularly special spot for me. When I first moved to MA with my boyfriend, this was the one place that served food that "hit the spot" for me. I'm born Chinese, grew up Chinese American, and my partner is American-born Taiwanese, so I feel like our perspective could explain a bit about Chumlee's food and service.
So first, Chumlee's is what I define as a "Chinese American Retro Diner." It's like those hole-in-the-wall diners you might stop by at on a long road trip but when you walk it it feels like you got timewarped to the 70s. If you wanted someplace more ritzy, try PF Chang's. If you want more authentic-Chinese, try Boston's chinatown. But if you want a place that doesn't pretend to be what it isn't , Chumlee's is it.
You go here to stuff your face while listening to oldies because eating the food makes you feel good about your potentially otherwise depressing circumstances -- this is genuine Chinese American comfort food. I have had lots of American Chinese food and this place hands down has the best boneless spareribs. Their crab rangoon is STUFFED with substance, not just empty cream cheese. The main menu is filled with dishes that you SHOVEL INTO YOUR MOUTH AT THE END OF A BAD DAY TO MAKE IT INTO A GOOD DAY.
Chumlee's doesn't pretend to be healthy, trendy, upscale or classy. The waiters and waitresses are pleasant cause they're pleasant. The owner works in-house and is very friendly. If you see on a side table a pile of green beans that are being hand-processed to remove the veins and tough tips as unwastefully as possible, you're staring into an unadulterated view of Chinese American restaurant culture.
It won't taste like a 3-star michelin restaurant. It won't taste like an international chef made it. But it really inspires the feeling of eating the bits that few would admit they love but will savor in private, guilty pleasure for fear of being judged. It tastes like home cooking. It tastes like wanton (or wonton) self-indulgence. It tastes amazingly comforting. And from what I can tell, it isn't pretentious in the least, from the simple laminated menus to the transparent, casual service.
In short, don't come here if you're looking for light, healthy, or upscale. Come here if you want to be comforted by the chef in the tastiest, most shameless fashion.
By the way, I recommend the plum duck, but do ask for it to not be too salty. If you don't order crab rangoons and boneless spareribs here to try at least once, there can be nothing between us.

Decent food and atmosphere. Food is good but not great. Service is just OK unless you're a regular patron. Recommend for those who want to play some Keno and have decent food, service and drinks.
