Clay Pot Cafe

The claypot rice menu is the place to start at Clay Pot Cafe on Kneeland Street. Chicken with Chinese sausage, mushroom and chicken, and pork patty with salted fish are among the combinations cooked over rice. There’s also a mushroom-and-tofu version listed without meat, and more elaborate pots with lobster or abalone.

The rest of the menu is much larger than the name suggests. Cantonese dishes such as braised beef brisket with radish sit alongside Hunan and Sichuan options, including spicy pork feet and twice-cooked pork. Order a pot for yourself, or add a few dishes to share if you’re making a longer meal of it.
