I've been here twice. First time with family and second time with a group of old friends. They serve a variety of Chinese dishes including some very authentic Sichuan dishes.
The prices are decent for the city since it has a large Chinese student based customer from MIT and Harvard.
Services are above average for Chinese restaurants.

The stir fry lamb seems chewy and old. The dishes we ordered both looks and smells uninteresting. A sub par imitation at Szechuan food while charging a premium sit-down price. This place feels like a place with cooks that just put ingredients together and the quality is not there.
This is not a place that I'd make a special trip out for.

The food is amazing and the location is close to bustling Boston . It’s an easy 10/10.

Very bad attention to the free service they believe that the food that a customer orders through the application is given away they wait for you they make you wait 20 30 minutes up to 40 minutes in the store when the order comes out they last up to 12:15 minutes to deliver it to you they believe that the food that is seen the customer asks for through the Uber application that is two hours they think it is given away the customer who orders through the application is also paying for his food to put it wait 40 and 50 minutes so that, they are very rude in the store and you, Unfortunately, the restaurant is one of the most despised restaurants for delivery, Because they believe that we must wait 40 and 50 minutes until I feel like delivering the order we are two we are guilty unfortunately if a store does not want to take application orders what you have to talk to the applications that do not want to order applications because they make you wait 40 and 50 minutes which is not a payment for any application unfortunately they are very rude and you like them very badly they are very racist in that restaurant, They make inappropriate racist comments when they think delivery doesn't speak English

Got takeout general gaos chicken. On DoorDash I got the 2 for 1 deal so it was better value. The chicken was good quality and well done, wish they didn’t charge extra for rice or had a combo meal with fried rice.

It's about time I write a review for this place, I've been coming here for a little while now. I love the food, workers, and the calm peaceful vibe. The food here is better than the Chinatown location. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I hope they stay open for as long as I live!

The place to get Dry pot! If you want spice, this place has got you covered. I always get 变态辣 (disgustingly spicy) and it hits.

Food was fine, but service was genuinely bad. Our waitress was rude and aggressive. We tried to leave a small tip, but she stopped us as we stood up to leave and all but forced us to change the tip to the minimum 18%. She had another copy of the receipt ready as if this is something that happens often. Just very bizarre behavior.

Food was extremely oily, but okay - as this may happen due to a chef change etc. This main issue was with the service though. Upon paying the bill, the server's rushed outside very aggressively demanding we pay the tip amount despite not being satisfied. The overall tone of the server was so negative and demeaning, we felt scared and almost had to leave our to-go food as well.

Besides this episode, the overall service while we were having food was very poor as well. Extremely long wait time to receive cutlery, staff doesn't know English, and nature to only cater to large gatherings over small ones, make the service terrible.

They force you to pay 18%tip. It was scary and very forceful. Will never visit again. Do not dine in in this restaurant, they won’t let you leave unless you tip the amount they want.

Food is good, but the portions are small for the price.
