Sichuan Cuisine - Chicken lomein - Asian Fusion Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

One of my favorite little lunch spots in the area. Simple, straightforward, no BS kinda casual spot with decently priced lunch specials and an acceptable culinary repertoire to back it all up. In fact, ever since the other Chinese spot changed ownership, I entirely switched to eating here whenever I want a quick sit down Chinese meal. The food is good. It comes out pretty fast. It's done pretty well. And the best part, it just doesn't remotely hurt the wallet. Even being a regular, I'm still amused at how the service is so stereotypical Chinese in the way that I'm just another soul coming in to be fed and not remembered or acknowledged. Mind you, I'm here a LOT and am usually the only one sitting there eating while delivery people repeatedly come and go. Anyways, two reasons why I'm unable to give them 5 stars. First, the tap water they serve...tastes like @#$%. I don't know what it is but I've actually started bringing my own water bottle (or just ordered a soda). Two, the steamed rice is inconsistent. Half the time, it's perfect. The other half...is wet and mushy (I want to say a reheat but isn't that just such a faux pax in Chinese cuisine?). Nonetheless, this is one of the few four and less starred places on my list that I will still continue to frequent and recommend to anyone in the area wanting a quick and decent meal for cheap! read more

Sichaun Cuisine Watertown Ma Small place. The shredded garlic pork dish had a good kick and flavors. Ordered chicken wings and decent crisp crunch Large portion of 6 flats, 6 drums . Service was just ok. I needed water glass refilled but no one around? Same block as Home Taste ( some of best hand made noodles around). They have lunch specials which says hand written ad Mon-Fri only . On web site ... didn't say just Monday-Friday and hand written on menu in restaurant? Oh well regular price a lot higher than lunch special price . Add on 2.00 for white rice as no rice with the dish? The shredded dish was good flavors and would order again. I don't see returning... prices high I'll go next door to Home Taste again read more

Everything was fantastic. Had the cucumber in spicy garlic sauce appetizer, a hot and sour soup (emphasis on the hot), and the lamb with spicy sauce. The lamb was falling off the bone it was so tender. Will be back. (After I eat the Chengdu spicy chicken that I got to take home for tomorrow). read more

I've been looking for a place to replace my beloved Mary Chung. One of our favorite Mary Chung dishes was Dun Dun Noodles, very spicy noodles with peanut sauce. When I saw "Dan Dan Noodles" on Sichuan Cuisine's menu, I thought this might be the place. The noodles were good - spicy - no peanut sauce. I added my own peanut sauce and they were perfect. Hot & Sour Soup was excellent. Peking Ravioli were a disappointment - flavorless, as was the accompanying ginger sauce. Not the restaurant's fault at all, but they use GrubHub for delivery - I put very specific instructions as to where to leave the order. 30 minutes after it should have arrived, my neighbor delivered it. It had been sitting on their porch for who knows how long in 15 degree weather. Everything was cold. All in all - this place is okay, but won't be the replacement for Mary Chung. read more

Mapo tofu was fantastic. Great chile cucumbers. Service was attentive. Price is great!!

That bacon cauliflower in chili oil though!! This place was a nice scrumptious surprise! My bf and I were craving Chinese food and dined here on a Sunday night. The restaurant located in Watertown square is nice and cozy with plenty of small tables. The nice waitress gave us time to look through their lengthy menu. It was really hard to decide since there are so many options but we finally decided on their pork in sweet soy sauce, scallion pancakes with beef their cauliflower and fried rice. The food came out nice and hot and packed with tons of flavor! Everything tasted fresh and cooked to perfection! To our surprise the cauliflower had big chunks of bacon and it was bathed in chili oil! YUM! The pork in soy sauce was also very good. The pork was tender and flavorful and the chunks of cucumber tasted fresh and were nice and crunchy. The scallion pancakes almost stole the spotlight from the cauliflower because the actual pancake dough tasted like a crunchy fried wonton! Yes! I love wontons! The portions are generous which was nice because we got to take lots of leftovers home! We will definitely be back! read more

Really impressed with the most recent offerings from this local Sichuan establishment. The fish stew with sour cabbage was a hit, a nice blend off Mala flavor, other spices, and broth. The flavor of the pickled veggies was focused and appealing. Something on special was the pork with dried bean curd and fresh bamboo shoots. The dish was well seasoned and the bamboo was particularly tender. The dried lotus slices in a Mala stir fry was excellent. It was nice to have crispy thin slices of lotus steeped in a rich and spicy Mala flavor. The appetizers were intriguing and delicious. The tendon flank and tripe slices were nicely flavored. There is a garlic richness that gently added to the dish. Also the slicing work on the green onions was very good. Finally the cellophane noodle dish with spicy sauce was really neat. I'd never had it before: it tasted a bit like gelatin. It really works well as a cold appetizer. In general I'd tone down the salt levels, especially of the main courses. Otherwise it was quite the meal! read more

Came here right when they opened and the restaurant remained pretty empty the whole time I was there so we were able to choose where to sit! The food is around 12-25 for any of the average dishes and the portions are reasonable. The quality was really good! The beef and tripe in chili oil was my favorite, top 3 I've had. I would definitely come back again :) read more

This is as good as the food in Chengdu. It's really authentic and delicious! Excellent hot spice flavor. I am a huge fan.

One of my favorite Szechuan food place in the area! We decided to dine-in tonight and the ambiance was calm and not too crowded which we enjoyed. We ordered spicy cucumber and wonton in chili oil to start, soooo good and tasty! We then had the chicken and beef chili with some Szechuan dry-style eggplant! Divine and rich in flavors!! Highly recommend and prices are affordable! read more

Pretty food stuff here. Chengdu spicy chicken was great. It's a small place, 8 tables, with public parking around the corner. Menu has all the Chengdu usual suspects. Waitress spoke English, or faked it pretty good. Prices were average for 2023. They don't ask you what spice level you want, which is good. Just order and don't be a kitty cat. It's spicy but do you want to live forever? read more

Sichuan Cuisine - Won Ton in Chili oil - Asian Fusion Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

Spicy indeed! What a change from bland Cantonese or Taiwanese style American-Chinese fare.

Covid-19 review! I am so happy that Sichuan Cuisine is now on Uber Eats. Before (covid), I had to call the restaurant and find its menu online to place the order. Not too convenient. I have ordered twice already. The first time I ordered, it came with the free cabbage as an appetizer! I was so happy. However, there was no cabbage the second time. Oh no! The first time I got mapo tofu, Yangzhou fried rice, sichuan twice cooked pork, and bean noodle with spicy chili oil sauce. The second time I got orange chicken, shredded pork with garlic sauce, chicken with eggplant, and bean noodle with spicy chili oil sauce. I really like the bean noodle with spicy chili oil sauce. It is super super spicy. Even with that, make sure you eat it in one setting, because the leftover does not taste as fresh/good. I wouldn't necessarily order chicken with eggplant again. It is just too greasy and not much flavor to it. Next time I'd go with eggplant in garlic sauce. The Yangzhou fried rice is really good, but expensive. I'd only order it occasionally to switch up with regular rice. And note that you have to order rice as a side and pay for it. They don't give you "free" rice. By the way, they make REALLY good orange chicken here. For a restaurant that offers authentic Chinese food, that is such a pleasant surprise that you can get good orange chicken here. And yes, their dishes are really greasy in general. I normally use a paper towel to dab/get the grease off the food before I eat. I believe you can place orders on Uber Eats starting at 11 AM daily! read more

Our new favorite Sichuan restaurant near Boston!!! I highly recommend the cumin beef; my friend also loves the twice cooked pork. But really, everything we've tried has been super flavorful and tasty! Most dishes are spicy, so come prepared. The inside looks very clean and new. Service has been fast for us, but not always that attentive (especially with refilling water haha). Portion sizes are good. We always have leftovers :) read more

Had the chengdu chicken, crispy pork, noodles, crab rangoons, and scallion pancakes. Chengdu spicy chicken was literally inedible. The pieces of chicken were cut so small and overcooked that it felt like my teeth were going to shatter trying to chew it. The noodles are the spiciest thing I've ever eaten in my life. We didn't get the crispy pork, instead we received a soggy bacon dish that had decent flavor. Crab rangoons and scallion pancakes were very good, but not good enough to erase the disappointment of the other dishes. Might be different in person and I hope other people have a better experience, but we will not be ordering again. read more

Small and unassuming with good food! If more people knew about it, they would need to move.

First of all, the duck blood was hard and smelly, but I didn't say anything because I had already received a refund. But then when I ate the fat intestines, a very strong smell of shit spread in my mouth, and I vomited. I didn't expect it would cause me so much damage! Don't order the Spicy Aromatic Pork Blood in this restaurant! read more

Sichuan Cuisine - Intestine - Asian Fusion Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

Best dry pot I've had in Massachusetts. I ordered "very hot" black fungus, fish tofu, tofu skin, lotus root, and string beans and I ate the whole thing in one sitting. Absolutely DELICIOUS and packed full of flavor. It may look oily, but there's so many complex, beautiful flavors cooked in. I really love that they have the perfect balance of spicy and vinegar-y, not sweet at all for us spicy lovers. Pricey but absolutely worthwhile. I also enjoyed my bowl of beef noodle soup, but I should've asked for it to be extra spicy because they do not skimp on peppercorns. Takeout was perfect - food was on time and packaged very nicely. I am utterly addicted and cannot wait to go back!!! read more

I'm confused about the positive reviews. We came in, hot peppers all over the menu including on our chosen items, and the food was...completely bland. No spice at all. Boring, flat flavors in addition to the total lack of spice. Not sure what happened? read more

First of all, I love that they said on their website, "Americanized Chinese? We refuse!". That's awesome because I can totally relate to it w/ my restaurant. Lol. It's hard to cater to everyone's taste so the message and the execution is clear. I ordered dan dan mein, noodles w/ longhorn pepper w/ shredded beef (my fave!!), shredded pork w/ dry bean curd (sooo good and reminded me of my mother-in-law's cooking), beef and tripe in chili oil, wonton in chili oil (it's a clear numbing chili oil), and chengdu crispy spicy chicken. All of these dishes were very tasty, full burst of flavors and had just the right amount of saltiness that you just want to eat more. It's not overly salty like some Sichuan places that I have been to and it has that good wok toss flavors. What stood out to me were the stir fried duck blood and some other exotic items on the menu so I'll have to come back for those! P.S. Online ordering had some issue on the website when I tried to order online, the check out button did not show up at the end. Had to call in. read more

Absolutely an amazing experience here at Sichuan Cuisine. I only wish we could have dined in here to taste their fabulous food even quicker! These days with COVID most of the restaurants are forced to raise their prices but very surprisingly Sichuan Cuisine's are quite fair and actually lower than my expectations when I saw how big the entree boxes are! Each dish we tried were really authentic Sichuan flavor and making me to want more haha. Especially the fried pork intestine is such a good mix with rice given how spicy it can gets. You definitely would have to have some spiciness tolerance to really enjoy their offerings as I would say 60-80% of their dishes are at least a bit spicy. The ordering process over the phone was quick and easy and they are protecting their workers and patrons well by just allowing front door pick ups. Really hope once COVID is behind us we can try out their dine-in services. This is definitely one of my new favorite Szechuan cuisines~ read more

Pretty delicious - nothing too special but hits the spot if you are looking for good sichuan food. Definitely very heavy and I immediately wanted to take a nap after finishing the meal. Tried several dishes, and my favorite was the pork intestine in hot and sour noodle soup. A little hard to eat because the noodles are so long that they are hard to pull out of the soup... and then you have a bit of terror which trying to get the noodles out without splashing the noodle soup all over the table, yourself, your friend... Would probably come back if in the area. read more

Wow! Talk about underrated - Sichuan Cuisine features some of the most incredible food I've ever tasted. In addition to the traditional (American) Chinese fare, their Sichuan dishes offer bold, complex flavors that are bound to be an entirely new experience to anyone unfamiliar with Sichuan food (such as myself). Here's my extensive rundown of everything I've tried off their menu thus far. Asterisked (*) items are must tries, out-of-this-world good - seriously! Triple asterisks (***) represent my top 3 dishes. Wonton with Spicy and Vinegar Sauce * Cucumber with Spicy Garlic Sauce Sliced Pork Belly with Garlic Sauces * Sichuan Dan Dan Noodle * Fresh Pepper with Preserved Egg Sichuan Twice Cooked Pork *** Beef with Black Fungus * Stir Fried Beef with Long Hot Pepper Shredded Beef with Shredded Pepper Kung Pao Chicken Shredded Potato with Chili Pepper Fish Fillet with Peppercorn Oil *** Pork with Sweet Soy Sauce * Sweet Spare Ribs with Potato (contains bones) Chengdu Spicy Chicken Singapore Rice Noodles *** Each visit I force myself to try something new, which gets tougher and tougher since I already have so many favorites that I just gotta have every time. Yeah, they've been getting allot of business from me... read more

88 Reviews, what a Lucky Number! And in terms of things to order from this restaurant, all the Appetizers and Entres are superb. I've gotten the Lunch Menu when I worked in the area in the past, and the portions are more than enough for dinner as well. All the stir fries have an even saute, and while they offer American Style Chinese food, the authentic cuisine is a treat to be savored. The Orange Chicken is amazing btw. They leave dried orange rinds in the batter sauce to give it an extra citrusy kick. Skip the Allston FOB over priced rip-offs. I don't think there are any other chinese restaurants that make food so consistently good. read more

Rainy December Wednesday lunch was served to order and hot. Plenty of tender beef and fresh stir fried green beans. Mildly hot oil as I ordered it spicy. White rice was well steamed but bland as hell. Overall uninspired. Have to try fried rice depending on the upcharge. Horrible acoustics. Vibrant take-out / to-go/ takeaway business. read more

I ordered delivery via their website tonight and was disappointed by their food. We got the Kung Pao chicken and Cheng Du Fish and bok choy. The chicken was monotone in flavor and not as flavorful as other Kung Pao fish I've had. The fish was salty. The bok choy tasted fresh though. This place got great reviews, some of the best in the nearby Belmont/Watertown area so I was excited to try it but I would not be back again. read more

Ordered delivery today for the first time. Delivery time was good. But food was lackluster and very disappointing. Fried pork chops was dry. Beef with Broccoli was bland. House Special Fried Rice was not special. It was tasty but there was hardly anything in it. I ordered because they had excellent reviews. But it seems the quality is hit or miss. So disappointed. read more

Very spicy food. Everything was also very oily. We had shrimp fried rice and Dan Dan noodles. I asked for mild spice levels on the noodles, they were still too spicy for me to eat and they were drenched in oil. read more

I wanted to love & support this new-ish local resto. I bought a spicy eggplant dish & scallion pancakes. The fragrance from the shop was divine & the guy at the front was nice, too. But the pancakes had no real flavor & no obvious scallions, while the dipping sauce was flavorless. Like brown water. Then the stir fried eggplant had so much oil, I couldn't eat it. $18 for bad food. There's no excuse for bad food!! I poured out many tablespoons of oil. Then,Let it drain for 2 days. Here's the photo of the oil that drained out, after me pouring off the first round. This is ONE SERVING. I highly doubt any respectable Chinese or Chines-American family cook would serve this to his or her kids. Gross. read more

The place is fairy new. Very bright and clean looking. I never ate inside, but have ordered takeout on multiple occasions. The place has solid spicy Chinese food. The one knock was the chengdu chicken which had more spicy peppers than chicken. The beef in spicy chili oil is the bomb diggity read more

Great food, the service was fast and caring. The employees are very polite and kind. It was a very nice experience.

We decided to order a takeout spicy cabbage snack as we really enjoyed the dine in food. The owner told us it's $5 for 16 oz, and gave us less than 10 oz, which we only found out until arriving home. If you are cheating on such small order to gain that tiny little interest, don't expect ppl to come back again. read more

We came here for a late lunch around 3pm this past Sunday. A few tables occupied out of the about a dozen. This place is small but a large party of 8 was there with combined tables. These Szechuan joints are popping up everywhere in the greater boston area and I'm loving it. If you're a fan of spicy and love authentic Chinese cuisine, then try this place. We ordered the lamb stew spine stew. Yeah, I said spine. No it's not a scene out of the predator. Think of it like Jamaican ox tail. If you can't handle these parts, grow out of your kraft Mac and cheese blue box. Our appetizer was the thousand year old duck egg with sauté sweet peppers with a hint of red peppers. The traditional cold thinly sliced beef tendon dish was excellent and wasn't super salted like most places. Our other main dish was a fish in chili stew, fresh as fish can be, deep fried then into a melody of spices. I would definitely return here again next time I'm craving authentic Szechuan foods. Street parking, there's a metered parking lot behind the restaurant, about a block away. read more

Very high quality Sichuan cuisine. Solid menu but with some crowd pleasers for the less adventurous. Definitely will return in the future

Don't understand at all the good reviews... Average taste and the portions are very small. The mala dry pot had very little meat (or anything) and was about $20...so small that I almost wanted to ask the server why the dish has so little food. The portion difference vs. what you get at a place like Mala is huge. There are a number of Sichuan restaurants that taste better and offer better portions and similar decor at a similar price range. read more
