With parents from China, this is one of our go to places. Gets quite busy and interior arrangement seating is quite crowded but good service and great food that tastes authentic.

Not a great restaurant if you’re looking for good service. Try this place only if you know “exactly” what to order! Taste 3/5, Service 0/5, price 2/5.

Their Mapo Tofu is the best that I have eaten. Veg stirred fried rice ( with egg) is very good. They have a large portion size. Value for money 10/10.

The spicy hot pot is so delicious that I want to compose a spicy hot pot song

One of the best Sichuan restaurants in town!!! Although it’s hard to find parking around the area. It’s my go-to place if hungry for some authentic Chinese food. The flavor is rich and on-point, their BBQ is another must-try from the menu. Highly recommended!

Great spicy Chinese food. Its ordering system is via QR code if that makes a difference for anyone. I personally enjoy ordering with my phone to save time!

Absolutely thrilled with my new favorite Mala and Sichuan food spot in the Boston area! I was not expecting all the dishes I ordered to be this fantastic. The standout for me was the dried stir-fried chicken with spicy Capsicum – it was so good that I couldn't resist ordering two servings that day. A must-try for any foodie in the area!

Even though you know your mistakes, you still look mean to old customers. A small box of rice costs 2 US dollars. I don’t know what it is cooked with. I hope your store will continue to become more and more popular (ps: I laughed off all those little things before. That woman today) Still looking impatient is really wasting the 20% tip I gave before)

Very nice mala menus

Ordered the Beef Brisket with Bean Curd. It was unpalatable, the food was inexplicably sweet, and the yuba was so hard that I couldn't chew it.

Good place for groups, as there is a lot of seating. The portion sizes are also decent for the price. The food definitely has a kick that creeps up on you, so be warned if you can't eat spicy well.

Extremely impressed with this restaurant. Both the stir fried noodles and the stir fried fish fillet was very flavourful and the portions were one of the biggest I have seen. Highly recommend!
