Went here for lunch. The restaurant is clean and the overall service is good. I order the chicken bento. Lt tastes light and flavorful. Will come back to discover more dishes.
Little tao is my hidden gem in Boston for spicy food. It has various kinds of Szechuan cuisines. I love the stir fried pork belly with chili. This place also has dumplings. The Taiwanese tradition dumplings is very delicious with meat and beans inside.
We had a family dinner at this restaurant yesterday. Service here is good. The attendant is very friendly and responsive. The food here is over or great. You can find a lot of traditional sichuan cuisines here. it also provides some non-spicy food. I really like the traditional Taiwan rice dumpling here. It has a lot of fillings.

Little Tao is a Sichuan restaurant that has received positive reviews from customers. The lamb and scorpion stew is described as being full of ingredients, including corn and carrots, and the lamb and scorpion are stewed very well, leaving a warm and nourishing feeling after drinking it. The Lao Ma's Hoof Flower Soup is also praised as being delicious and sweet with every bite.
The restaurant is small but packs a punch with authentic Chinese food and big bold flavors. Customers enjoy the Sichuan dumplings, hot & sour fish soup, and Sichuan chicken, all described as delicious. The weekday lunch specials, ranging from $14.95 to $15.95, are well-received, with the rice praised for its perfect texture. The atmosphere is cute and young, and the serving is friendly. The kitchen is open for a peek and looks neat, while the restroom is clean and roomy.
Little Tao’s signature dishes include Szechuan noodles like the Chengdu noodles and Twice Cooked Pork noodles, bathed in rich chili oil with savory meat toppings. The Yang Chow fried rice is a standout, consistently delicious and trouble-free. Other favorites include the pickled fish fillet, Sichuan spicy chicken, and braised beef brisket. The braised pork trotters is a must-try, but it's large so best for big groups. The lamb bone marrow soup is considered out of this world.
The casual noodle bar offers comforting flavors with manageable spice levels. Though small, the staff are kind and welcoming, making it feel like a mom-and-pop shop. While some dishes like the Braised Beer Duck may disappoint, the noodles remain a reliable choice for straightforward, satisfying Sichuan cuisine. The pickled vegetables in the Pickle Fish Filet in Broth add a slight tartness and elevate the dish, making it very comforting. Overall, the restaurant provides delicious, fresh food, and a cute atmosphere, making it one of the best and most authentic Sichuan places in Boston.
