I really love their Yuxiang shredded pork – it tastes amazing!

Came back for the first time in a while and everything was just as good as I remembered, if not better. The owner recommended dishes after I told him what I was feeling like eating, and every single plate was absolutely delicious. The fragrant flavors brought me back to China immediately. I ended up getting some eel, pork kidney, fish maw, beef, pork bone soup, and their signature noodles. This restaurant is for sure the most authentic Sichuan food you can get around the area.

Today I passed through Allston and tried this Sichuan restaurant, and I really regret it because the food was extremely salty and awful.

Kung pao chicken and scrambled egg with tomato were good. Personally not a fan of the braised pork ribs with potatoes.
Kung pao chicken was mostly as expected. Scrambled eggs with tomato is mostly egg which I prefer. The braised pork ribs comes in like a chili sauce that Im generally not a fan of.
I ordered Szechuan spicy aromatic blood hot pot for 33 dollars on Uber Eats and this is size of 33 dollars. I pour out a lot soup and this is the real portion. Not worth at all look like this is only worth 5 dollars.
Bad service. Slow service. Delivery

Taste is mediocre, quality is very low. Their food is very oily and they use cheap low quality oil and ingredients. I rarely have stomach issues with okay quality Chinese restaurant, but my stomach was not feeling well after having their greasy food. Definitely not worth the high prices.

We’ve recently started spending more time around the Brookline and Allston area, and this Saturday we decided to give BOS’ SiChuan Taste (一碟川菜馆) a try. First of all, it was surprisingly easy to find street parking nearby. After checking with the owner, we were happy to hear that they welcome well-behaved dogs to dine with you—our husky Max was able to sit with us instead of waiting in the car, which made our experience even better.
Unlike many other places, the owner and staff here are actually from Sichuan, and you can really feel that in both their hospitality and the food. The dishes were authentic and flavorful—especially the cold noodles, which reminded us of the real taste we’ve missed for a long time. The fish dish we ordered was also cooked in a unique Sichuan style: very refresh, tender and delicious, and with no fishy smell at all.
Even Max got treated to a bowl of ice water!
We truly loved the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Sichuan food, especially if you want to avoid the crowds of Boston’s Chinatown.

Authentic Chinese Gem in Allston!
As someone who’s traveled to China many times, I’ve developed a real appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine—and living in Boston, that’s not always easy to find. That’s why I was so impressed when I stumbled upon this humble little spot in Allston. The food is absolutely amazing—especially the duck and the Kung Pao chicken, which were both bursting with bold, traditional flavors. The atmosphere is simple, no frills, but it adds to the charm and authenticity. If you’re craving genuine Chinese food, especially Szechuan-style dishes, this is definitely a place worth checking out!

As people have said, the portions are so small, it's so overpriced.
Literally the best Chinese food in the entire Boston. I’m shocked that the rating isn’t way higher. It’s literally better than the sichuan food that I have in China!
A must try! Super authentic

First of all, their portions are very small and overpriced — the dry pot bullfrog costs $40 but is barely the size of a palm. Secondly, the food quality is really questionable. Every time I eat there, I end up with diarrhea and feel unwell the next day! I think other restaurants in Allston offer a much better experience for the same price — not only is the environment better, but the menu is more diverse and the portions are much larger.

Fish tastes like tilapia but way overpriced at $40. Everything is stir fried with extreme amounts of oil for no particular reason. We got the Sichuan Vinaigrette chicken and it was maybe 1/5 chicken 3/5 batter and 1/5 oil. It feels like they’re obvious with where they cut corners. Both Mala and Szechuan Mountain house taste better and even costs less
