Chau Chow Restaurant

Chau Chow is on Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester, with a Chinese menu that makes plenty of room for seafood. Lobster comes with ginger and scallion, black bean sauce or crispy garlic; oysters and scallops have steamed preparations with garlic and vermicelli. Call for the market-priced seafood dishes, which aren’t available to order online.

Other choices include roast duck, salt-baked chicken, beef chow foon and fried rice with salted fish and chicken. Vegetable dishes range from garlic eggplant to sautéed pea shoots. Set dinners for two, four or six make ordering for a group more straightforward, and the restaurant’s own site offers pickup ordering.
