Very spicy and many non-traditional dishes, like frog legs. Unless you are a person who likes very spicy and exotic, this restaurant is not for you. Also no beer or wine.

Oh man this place is delicious! Had the General Tso’s Chicken and the sichuan dumplings to start. Everything was excellent, chicken was perfectly fried, but did not feel heavy, soo flavorful. Would recommend, come again, and try more menu items.

To be honest, I really don't think this is restaurant-level SiChuan cuisine…

From the dishes I ordered, they are clearly following the idea of making Chinese foods, but ended up being homemade level dishes.

I ordered 蒜泥白肉 and 粉蒸牛肉, and they are definitely NOT supposed to look and taste like this from my 20+ years experience living in China.

This is only from my personal perspective, and they were being pretty nice to me, but I definitely don‘t love their dishes.

I love Little Tao! I especially love their Tao Tao noodles, and the cabbage dish is so good on the side. The eggplant is also wonderful, and my spouse loves the pork belly noodles. We always get take-out, but the tables and atmosphere seem really nice.

Tasty and satisfying. I really like their Tao Tao noodles, I wonder what kind of vinegar did they use, it was very refreshing. The 钟水饺 tasted exactly the same as the ones I had in Chengdu ten years ago. I’d say their food is genuinely authentic.

A five star restaurant for Sichuan food - one of the best in Boston! Foods are delicious and fresh. Recommend dessert menus as well. Atmosphere is cute and young. Serving is friendly. Restroom is clean and roomy. On the way, kitchen is open for one to have a peek and looks neat. The location could be tricky to find if you drive as its located on the narrow Commonweath ave branched off the main ave. So make sure you drive into the branch ave between the subway railroad and buildings.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews but we ordered out for some food but when the meals were delivered, we received no rice. I mean, how do you receive a meal with no rice? We called and asked if this issue could be resolved but the person who answered didn’t speak English and then hung up. I’m at a loss of words that this type of business is still thriving here in Boston.

🚫 0/5 – Never Again 🚫

I’m honestly shocked this place has any good reviews. Little Two couldn’t follow the simplest instructions, and when the food finally arrived, it was a disaster:
• Bland taste – zero flavor, like they seasoned it with air.
• Small portions – I had to double-check if it was a sample size.
• Overpriced – charged like it’s fine dining, delivered like it’s cafeteria leftovers.

I don’t mind paying for quality, but this was an insult to my taste buds and my wallet. If you value your money, your appetite, or your dignity, skip Little Two entirely.

💬 Tag your foodie friends so they don’t make the same mistake. #LittleTwo #FoodFail #OverpricedAndUnderwhelming

This place was ok, not great. The noodles with beef was probably the best dish we had. The dumplings are surprisingly sweet (didn't enjoy that) and the beef with potatoes is tasty but get ready for the texture of the beef, it has a lot of tissue and tendons.

Highly recommended! Fish soup and sichuan chicken fried

This is one of the best and most authentic Szechuan restaurants in Boston. Every single dish I've had here is amazing, and the service is great too even though the restaurant is a bit small. The braised pork trotters is a must try - but it's large so only get it if you have a big group. The lamb bone marrow soup is out of this world.
