Dinner was okay, cumin fish was salty , but the server was a bit grumpy. And the most disgusting part was rats were roaming around while we were having dinner tonight! Sichuan Garden needs to do something about the rat problem right away. It’s not only gross, but it’s also concerning about the hygiene in the kitchen.

The chicken dish I ordered had a very strange aftertaste. Couldn’t eat any of it. Very overpriced as well. I would recommend going for the cocktails and not for the food.

It has whole Peking duck for $88. Pretty authentic Chinese food.

Absolutely love this place! I always go with a larger group and get a bunch of items to share.
The Sichuan chicken wings and cucumber salad are absolute must gets, I crave these on the regular. I have never had a bad dish here and the ambience is incredible. Highly recommend the upstairs bar area or the tiki first floor area, but the whole place is great.
The cocktails are outstanding and if you are a pair, the cocktails for two are visually stunning and amazing. The cocktail program here beats any other program in Boston by a landslide.

Don’t visit until management changes! Snooty manager opened late with severe attitude. She was taking her bad day out on everyone, eliminated cocktail options, & threatened to spit in customer food when approached about her terrible attitude. I’ll never go back!

Drove there from the south shore of MA to meet friends from NH. I had been there 2x years ago & was excited to return & introduce our friends to a great dining and drink experience. What a complete disappointment. I was literally embarrassed to have chosen this restaurant to show our friends. The manager was beyond rude and unapologetic for opening 15 minutes late. The bar was closed and we were told we could only have beer, wine or Mai Tai’s. This is after we bragged about the amazing creative drinks at this place to our NH friends. 4 customers lost! We will never return.

Had been a tradition to take the kids when mom flies out of town. Kids were so pumped. Unfortunately they can’t accommodate a party of 5 on a Sunday at 5pm because they only have a limited space open. Apparently they now hate making money here.

Excellent service, the beef skewers and the spicy garlic sauce on cucumber paired well with several cocktails on their menu. Very chill ambiance.

Overall really solid restaurant, with good food and pretty fun atmosphere. Couple different bar areas went upstairs and one down. Table service was a little slower than I would personally prefer, but overall solid. Cocktails are top notch!!!! Fantastic presentation on the drinks and absolutely delicious on top of that. Even if you're not hungry, would recommend stopping in for drinks!
Most of the food is spicy so if you don't do spice the options are very limited. What non-spicy options they have are very tasty IF you choose wisely. However, I would get it to go in the future as the service is horrible. Even if you can ignore the scantily clad female wait staff (one girl had her shirt unbuttoned with black lace bra exposed and another was wearing a blouse as a dress) getting seated could take quite a while as the host/ess disappears for long segments of time and the wait staff will only come to check on you(maybe) once. The place is very dark and very loud. Not recommended for groups, dates or families with little ones.

There is nothing really good about this place. Host was super rude as soon as we walked in and acted like we were bothering him. The food is ridiculously overpriced and everything we had was so insanely salty. This is basically mediocre takeout food but costs twice as much.

A decent, although overpriced, Chinese restaurant in an historic building. DON’T GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOUR COMPANION IS SAYING. The low ceilings amplify the noise of other conversations to almost a physically unpleasant level. My friends and I ate, tipped and left. 2 hours later my eardrums still haven’t recovered.

This is some of the best Chinese food I have had around this area. The staff is super friendly, bartender was very knowledgeable, food was delicious and came out piping hot. Really worth the money. Will definitely be back.

If you are looking for authentic Sichuan cuisine, this is not, at all. It's totally different from years ago. They probably had changed the chief, and the service is just poor...Loud environment, careless and impatient waitress with racist glasses (though the front desk staff is pretty friendly). 3 stars for the atmosphere. If you just want a hang out environment with a meal, it could be a one time place to go, but don't think there's any doing with Sichuan dishes...
