Finally, a top notch Chinese place in Boston (well, Brookline) It is definitely worth a trip. The menu is extensive and has many Sichuan options. Several dishes I'd never heard of, which is always a good sign. They do have some Americanized options, but ordering sesame chicken at a place like this would really be a shame. We shared several...

I love this restaurant and go and eat there everytime I go to Boston to see my family. I"m a fan of spicy food and especially loves the fish+tofu soup. The price is reasonable and the portion is huge. The decor is not very fancy but the food is def the reason to go.

If you are looking for real Sichuan cuisine, go to Sichuan Garden. My Chinese husband gives it the thumbs up. Some items are very spicy, so ask first.

I like this place, the little pepper with beef is so good. And I also like 酒酿小丸子, and 口水鸡, 夫妻肺片。

You have to know what to order here, but when you steer yourself towards the more traditional chinese menu (as compared to the American Chinese menu) you will be greatly rewarded. My favorites are the Braised Beef with Napa Cabbage (really really spicy), the House Special eggplant, and the chengdu city string beans. Ask for the Chinese menu and ask... More

I had been to this restaurant once before and had a decent time at lunch when it wasn't busy. When we arrived, we were ignored for at least 10 minutes. Then we were sat down at a table in the middle of a party of 20. We were able to move to a table near the entrance of the restaurant.... More

One cursory glance at the menu options and you know you've stumbled upon a hidden gem. Not that the staples aren't there for the New Years Eve Pu-Pu crowd, but when I see items such as Tripe with Roasted Chilli Vinaigrette or Shredded Camphur Tea Smoked Duck with Spring Ginger, I knew I might finally get something at least hinting...

I will start with the first time I ordered take out from this restaurant about a month ago. I asked the hostess (an older woman in her 50's/60'swho appeared to be the restaurant owner or family of the owner) to make the dish non-spicy and she said she would do so. When I returned to pick up the food, I... More

I went to this place with people from work, 2 of whom come from the area of Sichuan, China. They said a lot of the food was pretty authentic. Not really for those who are expecting the typical Chinese-American meal. Most of the food was delicious, but the beef in the beef and broccoli didn't look very appetizing.
