Jumbo Seafood Brookline

Jumbo Seafood Brookline on Commonwealth Avenue has a menu broad enough for a dim sum meal or a table filled with Cantonese dishes. Shrimp dumplings, steamed rice rolls and buns sit alongside congee, noodles and rice pots. For a larger meal, the menu extends to seafood, casseroles, sizzling plates and vegetable dishes.

A useful starting point is beef chow foon with garlic string beans and a few dumplings to share. Seafood has its own sections, including live seafood, so ask what is available before deciding on a centerpiece. The restaurant accepts reservations and offers pickup and delivery at 1032 Commonwealth Avenue. Check the relevant menu section when ordering; lunch specials, dim sum and the wider dinner selection need not all follow the same service schedule.
