For a while too popular for its own good, this Chinatown seafood spot is once again back up to snuff. New Jumbo Seafood Restaurant is one of our 2012 | Top 10 Boston Seafood Restaurants | Top 10 Boston Chinese Restaurants |

As its reputation as a chefs' hangout grew, this Hong Kong-style seafood spot in Chinatown seemed to become a victim of its own success, increasingly inconsistent as the owners lavished attention on their new baby, a second branch in Newton. But before total disaster struck, they wisely sold their flagship; under new management it's back up to snuff. Spicy oysters in black-bean sauce; whole fish steamed with ginger and scallions; and salt-and-pepper squid are just a few of its many specialties. Lobster in any guise performs well (and cheaply) too, and the stir-fried peapod stems are a fine side dish.
