Sichuan Gourmet Brookline

Went with family, incredibly long service, unsatisfactory cuisine and three of the orders never even came.

We’ve been going to this place for a many, many years.Most of the time the food is good sometimes just ok. Today we ordered take out again, we always ask for brown rice with our dishes. The rice was actually spoiled. It smelled sour and it was slimy. We called and we told them, they said they would give us free rice next time we order. I don’t think there will be a next time.

We had the House Special Fried Rice. It was good. It was very very light and went down easy. I wish it was more spicy though. If you didn’t grab any chicken or shrimp in your fork, it might taste simply like white rice. It was dry and oily. Would recommend, 4/5.

Food was below mediocre, and despite the cheap prices it tasted incredibly artificial. The bok choy and sesame chicken were excellent, but the other dishes were mediocre at best.

Great place for family style Sichuan dishes. Love the ma-la (numbing and spicy) flavor. The fish filet with tofu and black pepper is a great dish.

I have gone to this restaurant for several years and every time I'm very satisfied. Pan fried noodles and fried rice are excellent.

My only go to Chinese Restaurant, haven’t seen anything better.

This was really disappointing, especially in the hometown of Szechuan Garden, which was the finest Szechuan Chinese restaurant in the state. Really, ugh. I ordered two spicy Szechuan dishes, expecting them to be slathered in delicious Szechuan chili oil and actually, uh…spicy. Why advertise a dish as spicy if it isn’t? Are Brookline diners not intelligent enough to know what 2 chilis mean in a menu? Or to know what Szechuan food entails? Also, ordered House Fried Rice and it tasted like literally NOTHING. At least I am no longer in the mood for really great Chinese food. Thanks. I only ate because I was hungry. That’s it. Also, maybe teach your staff a few basic English terms, like “no plasic containers—NO PLASTIC—PAPER ONLY, PLEASE.” And, teach them to say, “Sorry, I do not understand,” instead of “OK, OK, OK.” It’s so not OK.

Found this gem of a restaurant on a rainy afternoon. We had the whole place to ourselves. The food was delicious and servings were generous. The plates came to our table piping hot. The only negative I found was not a variety of veggies in the vegetable fried rice. But it was DELICIOUS. Plan to go again before leaving this city.

Been coming here for 10+ years by this point and have tried basically everything on the menu multiple times over. The food is always delicious, this place single handedly got me into Sichuan cuisines.

Servers were very courteous and food came out quickly. Everything was great! My fish dish wasn’t quite as spicy as I would’ve liked but the flavor was great and the fish itself was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Highly recommend.

The rice seems to be old because I found rice with ready to hatched bug. Also, the tofu is sour in fish fillet & tofu w. black pepper spicy sauce even the sauce is not sour.

Remains as one of most Favourite restaurants in Brookline. I was craving for lotus root and wantan on Sunday evening and Sichuan Gourmet delivered in an amazing way.We ordered the spicy wantan in Szechuan chili sauce and the mixed vegetables savory pot.The pick up order on the phone was incredibly easy and my food was prepared in record time. And when I picked up my food, the packing was very well thought of where the savory pot was in a foil container and a cardboard "coaster" to keep it from collapsing. Another thing I loved was the fact that there was not anything extra like chopsticks etc because why would you give me disposable wear when I don't need it. This was very eco-conscious and thoughtful! Thank you!Of course when we got home and had our food, everything was delicious and hit the spot on my cravings. It made me feel like I was home (Malaysia) again (especially with the wantan).Thank you for remaining awesome on amazing food, excellent service, and thoughtful packaging of my take out.

The food was good however the meat and veggies seemed not so fresh and caused our stomachs to rumble . Hope they can maintain their quality as before.

Best Sichuan food on the east coast and certainly in Boston. Do try the xiang la fish and cayenne chicken
