This place is a gem! They offer authentic Asian cuisine, but also has some Americanized dishes. If I were you, I'd stick to the authentic stuff because they do it right. The restaurant sits in a weird shaped plaza over a cute Asian mini-grocery store. Also, if you have a big party, they have the perfect place in the back to accommodate you all. Bon appetit! read more

Sichuan Gourmet is the only Chinese restaurant we go to any more and is our "go to" place for special occasions or when visitors are in town. The food is authentic (though it's also possible to get some of the blander more Americanized dishes for the less adventurous members of your party) and delicious. Some of the waitstaff are a bit lacking in language skills but they all make up for that in friendliness. read more

Surprisingly, in my quest to eat Chinese at as many restaurants as possible, this one fell a bit short. I wasn't terribly impressed. It felt a little overcrowded, our waitress checked on us about ten minutes after we had wanted to order more drinks which was a little frustrating. I'm usually the first to give servers a break but she walked right by us about five or six times. I definitely prefer The Wok over this, well worth the drive. This felt more like a Panda Express and IHOP had a baby. The food was decent but the experience overall was average at best. read more

This is our go to Sichuan cusine restaurant and we bring our friends and family here very often. We have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed! Staff is attentive and ready to help. Everything tasted good and was satisfied. Awesome as always! read more

Sichuan Gourmet - Szechuan Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Best Chinese food in the Framingham/ Natick area. Quality ingredients and consistently good flavors. It is not a secret so it can get busy at times read more

This is our family's favorite Chinese restaurant. Definitely the best you can get in the Natick/Framingham area. Great food, very yummy and they make it quickly. The dried chicken with chili sauce is our favorite and their food is also nice and spicy, unlike many other restaurants. Takeout tasted just as good as in person, making it worth buying even now. read more

I ordered Fish Filets & Napa Cabbage w.Spicy Chili Sauce and Gangou Dry chicken both extra hot . The food Quality and service exceeded my expectation . If you like Sichuan style Hot food , I would highly recommend you check out this Place . The server was really attentive And helpback pack leftover to go . One star taken off mostly because the quantity of potatoes on the gangou chicken was unproportionally more than I would have liked. read more

Sichuan Gourmet - Gangou Dry chicken on the right and Fish Filets & Napa Cabbage w.Spicy Chili Sauce on the left. - Szechuan Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

The family style Guangzhou fish is ridiculous! Well, pretty much everything we've eAten here is so good. The spices are unique and hot but not overpowering. Always friendly , fast service, even when packed. read more

The best Chinese place in the area, not American-Chinese with lots of batter deep fried in lots of oil. Authentic Chinese food. Spicy dishes may be really spicy, but you can always ask to make them not hot. Not the cheapest place, but reasonable price for quality. Been there many times. read more

We came for a family dinner on Saturday night and it seemed like all the other Chinese families in the metrowest area had the same idea because it was a full house even at 6 pm! There was literally a line out the door around 7 pm, so they must be doing something right... In fact, the food is quite authentic and not greasy. While you can order fried rice and crab rangoon, they are really known for their Sichuan specialties like spicy beef tendon, lion's head meatballs, crispy fish, etc. I wasn't a fan of the stir-fried pork kidney nor the sea cucumber dish (must be a daring eater to try these), but the kungpao chicken was actually very tasty, as were the cold Sichuan noodles. I can't handle too much hot pepper (nor could half of our dinner party), so we requested that they use a lighter hand with the peppers and spices. But if you are a fiend for HOT HOT HOT, I'm sure Sichuan Gourmet would be happy to oblige! We ended our meal with the deep fried sweet potato sesame cakes. They had a nice red bean filling inside, but could've used just a touch more sugar, I think. All in all, it was a delicious meal, and a far cry from the typical Americanized Chinese cuisine you most frequently see in the city. read more

So you're going out to lunch with your coworkers, and you can't decide on anything. You've got your usual three or so spots that you pick from, and even when you reach all the way back in the brain bank, there's only a few dozen spots you've been for lunch while slaving away at the ol' 9-5. Clear out some space and put this one at the top of the list. No joke -- Sichuan Gourmet redefines delicious lunch on a budget. One my first of what will be many repeat visits, $8.95 bought me a savory Sichuan serving of tea, hot-and-sour soup, ~8 pieces of General Tso's chicken, a generously sized helping of freshly-fried vegetable rice, and a fried egg roll. Even for Asian cuisine prices, this place is super cheap, and super delicious. Top it off with some fast service, and you've got a Sichuan spot that rivals Boston's own Chinatown, and you don't even have to put up with the long lines and atrocious service to get it. So erase Subway off your lunch list and loosen your belt a little -- your stomach and your wallet will be supremely grateful. read more

Although I am a 'Gwailo' (Chinese for white guy) and didn't grow up eating authentic Chinese at home, I've been on a search to find the real thing since I was old enough to pay my own way. When I moved to Boston I was lucky enough to find a rent controlled apartment near Central Sq in the late '80's, before its quasi-regentrification. Among the many excellent, but inexpensive and casual restaurants nearby was Mary Chung's, a Chinese restaurant I measure all the other's by. Since then I've moved to the 'burbs and while Mary still owns the restaurant I don't visit it as often not only because it's further away but also because it's not nearly as good as it used to be. Luckily, I've found a restaurant in Framingham (5 minutes from home) that is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten at anywhere, including NYC, Vancouver or San Francisco. Although Sichuan Gourmet's menu includes some of the standards that populate most American Chinese restaurants, it's real standouts are those that you won't find at any of the ubiquitous Chinese restaurants churning out house fried rice, sweet and sour pork and General Gao's chicken. The restaurant's owners are two gentlemen who share a commitment to providing the real thing. Here's what their website says: Mr. Li Zhong and Mr. Liu Lijun are both natives of Chengdu, a major city in Sichuan. Their time there has made them familiar with all aspects of Sichuan, from its people, to its geography, and to its culture. In particular, both have a deep comprehension and mastery of Sichuan cuisine. After coming to the US, Mr. Li Zhong obtained a Master's degree in biomedicine while Mr. Liu Lijun has a senior chef certificate from China from his years at a prestigious culinary institute. While the menu has an extensive selection it's not overwhelming like some of the restaurants in Chinatown. You'll do well to ask the servers advice, but some of my favorities are: Chengdu Spicy Dumplings - cold appetizer These are ravioli with a meat filling in a light spicy oil sauce. The pasta is light and flavorful and not at all like the heavy, doughy pasta wrappers that one finds in other restaurants. Dan Dan Noodles - Unlike other dan dan noodles that are heavily flavored with peanuts this is a much lighter, more complex dish. The heat from the spices is strong but doesn't overwhem the complex flavors offset by the delicate vermicelli. Mains - Chengu Hot Pot Beef - the '3 peppers' designation is well deserved. I love hot food and can stand a lot of Scovilles (measurement of hotness) this is a dish that blasts your taste buds. The small beef chunks float in a broth of hot pepper with baby bok choy and thinly sliced *fresh* bamboo shoots (not at all like the canned version). It's not for the faint of heart (and tongue) but it's amazing. Pork & Napa Cabbage w. Spicy Chili Sauce - This dish is comprised of pork chunks braised with cabbage in a spicy sauce that is more broth than sauce. It's a hearty, peasant style dish that is a far departure from anything you'll find on a typical restaurant menu. Again, the spice (2 peppers) is serious, but it compliments rather than overwhelms the flavors of the ingredients. Sichuan Green Beans - These are a delicately dry saute of green beans. The beans are cooked until the outsides are cooked but the insides are still crisp. There isn't a sauce per se, but the seasonings are very interesting. These are just a few of the specialties that I enjoy, but each time I return I try at least one new dish. A word about portions: the portions are huge and each main dish can easily feed four people with food left over. It's tempting to order several dishes because it all looks so good. I've observed that there are often large parties of Chinese diners who I suspect go in crowds so they can try more things. Although it's a cliche to consider a restaurant good if patronized by those representing its ethnicity, I think it holds true in this case. Every time I've eat at Sichuan Gourmet the majority of its diners are Chinese and they certainly seem to be having a wonderful time. Lastly, the service is always excellent. You will often be received by a friendly Mr. Liu Lijun who will do his best to seat you quickly. My favorities are the booths along the far wall, but all the tables are a generous size and not too close to one another. The servers are all Chinese and very friendly. While their English is sometimes limited they do a good job of recommending dishes and making sure they get it right. Thankfully the water comes frequently to douse the fire. A word about the location: it's a bit tricky to find because the restaurant is on the second floor of a non-descript building set off of Rt 9. Approach the restaurant slowly the first time because it's a pain to circle around. You'll get a big smile if say 'Sheh-Sheh' (thanks) when you leave. read more

Ahhh... the legendary Sichuan Gourmet; basically the only thing I ever hear about from Framingham apart from the famous heart study. It was about time we checked it out, with a culinary expert from China as well. Tongues and tummys were readied, the Mass Pike was adequately funded and we got to our table on a sat night without any problem. I was assured that this was the real thing from my expert-in-tow and a selection of typical dishes were ordered - tendons in wonder sauce, potstickers, spicy mushrooms and two entrees - a beef dish touted as one of the spiciest things in Mass - and duck with peppers and bamboo. Food came very quick and the appetizers were all fantastic - especially the tendons with their lingering hot heat. The two entrees were good, but not mind-blowing. And as for the spice... sorry, but it wasn't that much - Thai food has the hot-stuff medal bagged for now. Bottom Line: Great food for sure, but I didn't experience anything worth justifying the drive here. Come here if you're in the area. read more

If you are a vegetarian, drive past this spot. While they have small veggie section on the menu the items have no flavor. I think they expect you will buy a meat heavy dish and buy the veggies on the side. Perhaps with the meat have flavor or spice to bring to your overall experience. I had the baby bok choy with mushrooms and it had no flavor. I should have asked some kind of sauce to add to it. My hubby had the tofu with veggies (veggie paradise) and while it had a darker brown sauce it also had no flavor. The crab rangoon was the best item we tried given the above and the sprint rolls (2 small ones). Our friends had shrimp something and it was also flavorless and my friend that had beef spicy dish appreciated it. But we spent $100 on a meal that was poor. Very disappointing. read more

3.759 Stars So yeah, bit of a downgrade. Service is good food has slipped a little nothing WOW-ed me. We called ahead (Friday Night) and got a very good table near the bar and the Yankees vs Red Sox game. Waitress was very attentive and helpful. We ate: * Spicy Beef Tendon a 4/5 * Dried Chicken with Peppers 3/5 * Crispy Spicy Fish 4/5 * Spicy Beef with Napa Cabbage 2/5 * Ma Po Tofu w/ Pork 2/5 * "Lions Head" meatballs 2/5 * Shreded Beef with Scallion 3/5 * Spicy Cold Rabbit 3/5 * Sauteed Chinese Spinach w/garlic 3/5 * Chinese "Grappa" 5/5 read more

I don't know why but the scene from a Christmas Story when Ralphy gets pushed down the slide by Santa and the elves 'you'll shoot your eye out kid' comes to mind when I think back on being invited to a 'Burn Your Face Off' party at Sichuan Garden. It's like, you know you're gonna hurt yourself real bad if the Chinese kid tells you that this shit is hot, but you know you HAVE to do it. Honestly, my face didn't burn off it just sort of singed up a bit and I couldn't taste anything for a few hours but thats OK. It was worth it. This is some quality grub and it's not like everything on the menu is nuclear assault hot so you can take your bland loving friends there too. I really liked the spicy beef tendons, sort of like super hot salami served cold. Also the dried beef and chicken with pepper was pretty great. I might caution you to stay away from the sea cucumber but that's because that shits just weird, if you want to eat a messed up that like that - god bless you. read more

Awkward moment. Awkward silence and language barrier awkwardness. Absolutely not a very inviting time to come at 525p on a Tuesday night... Walked in upstairs to bar the bartender was slumped over his stool in a bowl full of food and all bar stools were removed. It was an awkward silence as I didn't want to ask for a stool, not ask him to stop eating dinner to wait on just me. So I left. Not sure I will go back here. read more

Maybe my mistake was coming in 30 mins before close but I didn't expect this. Ordered the spring rolls and didn't find them flavorful but it was fresh. For dinner I order the old Sichuan chicken. Per the menu it it was only given a single Chili pepper while others had 2. I love spicy food, I'm from Albuquerque, NM, but it was intense how hot it was. I only had 3 pieces of the heavily over breaded dark meat chicken and my mouth burned for 30 mins after. So I waited for my waitress to return to close out my tab. After waiting for 15 mins I got up and asked for my bill. The man who works the register, I think he is a manager or owner, got it for me and brought it over. He asked it I would like my dinner to go and I informed him it was inedible due to how spicy it was. He didn't care and ran my CC FOR the full amount. I guess I should have walked out when the cook gave me the evil eye when I 1st walked in because he sure did punish me with a poor and overpriced meal. read more

Sichuan Gourmet - I love spicy but this was inedible. Maybe it was due to me arriving 30 mins before close on Sunday. - Szechuan Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

I love this place and am so happy to see authentic Chinese food restaurants popping up. This place and Red Pepper are both fantastic. You know you are probably going to have a good Chinese meal when the restaurant is packed and you are the only non-Asian in the place. That has been the case every time I have been to Sichuan Gourmet. Each dish we get is better than the next, with the exception of the double cooked bacon (at least I think that was the name of it). We ordered that the first time we went because 1) I had never heard of bacon in chinese cooking and was curious and 2) I love bacon. It was a very strange dish. It was not bad in any way, but just kind of weird. They brought out a plate with just a big pile of bacon (at least a pound). It was not fried like you would have for breakfast. It was soft like it had been boiled or cooked in liquid. I would not order it again, but I am glad I tried it. read more

Phenomenal, authentic Sichuan cuisine, at great prices. This restaurant is actually the second restaurant of the same name (the owner started with a smaller strip-mall outing in Billerica, MA, which is equally great). The food is tremendously tasty Sichuan fare. If you like westernized stuff, you might be disappointed, because the true flavor of the restaurant is in the fiery, numbing native fare. Favorites include the cold bamboo shoots in sesame oil (not spicy), the dumplings in spicy sauce (either the Cheng Du or regular variants, immersed in red chili oil), dan dan noodles, Yu Hsiang chicken, old Sichuan chicken, kung bao chicken, and Sichuan-style green beans. I've yet to have a bad dish here, and there are even some more traditional hot pot and offal-type dishes for the adventurous. I'm sure that there are plenty of off-menu delicacies for those who speak the language. Prices are reasonable, service is quick and efficient, the bar is well-stocked, and the wait only gets bad on Fridays and Saturdays (though you can cut through much of the waiting by calling ahead). read more

I have come here no less than 50 times and have ordered take-out well over 100 times. I suppose it's finally time to put my opinion out there. Food: authentic. The dishes absolutely hit the spot should you fancy some spicy Sichuanese cuisine. Our go-to dishes are 老四川扣肉, 夫妻肺片 （roast beef, tendon & tripe with chili sauce), 家常爆鸭丝, and a non-spicy dish, 海鲜锅吧 (seafood with sizzling rice) and perhaps a green veggie. In the past, we occasionally had issues with the freshness of the food. More often, we had mixed-up / incorrect dishes when getting take-out. This was frustrating as rarely does one want to drive back to the restaurant just to reclaim a dish after you had already arrived home. But when they don't mess up, the food is delicious. This place has become a staple amongst metrowest Chinese Americans. But the selections are wide enough that anyone can find something they enjoy. We catered their food for my husband's birthday party and it vanished in 30 minutes. The interior is classy, clean and well-kept. In terms of customer service, it should only be compared to other Chinese restaurants where the servers are efficient and bring your food/drinks/bill out in a timely manner. But that's it. This is an alarming difference between Chinese restaurants and others. Chinese servers will not chat with you, play with your children, or recommend dishes based on their personal experiences. They serve you, then they walk away, not wanting to establish a connection or a genuine conversation. Once you become comfortable with the aforementioned military-style customer service, the only issue I find is inconsistency in the quality of the food. If that can be improved, this could deserve five stars. read more

I love this place. Great dine in and takeout experience everytime! The food is amazing!!! The staff is always warm and friendly.

This is probably the best Sichuan food in the Boston area. Everything is the appropriate 'hot' level for me (although you can ask them to turn down the heat). The food quality there is really good. It's not your typical MSG-soaked American Chinese food. You can tell someone put a lot of effort into the menu and the dishes. I'm a vegetarian, so I go with the Sichuan cold noodles and the Ma Po Tofu every time I go there. It's too spicy for some, but it's perfect for me. read more

Definitely the best authentic Chinese food I've had in MA. Went here with a group last Saturday and every single person cleaned their plates. The place was filled with Asian families so that is always a a good sign. We were a group of 5 and were seated promptly without a reservation for lunch. The menu has many, many choices that all sound delicious. The waitresses kept our glasses filled but weren't really there to offer advice on what to order. Service was prompt however and our dishes came out pretty quickly. Apps: Peking Ravioli, Scallion Pancake, and Crab Rangoons. All were good but they were pretty standard Chinese restaurant fare. Next time, i'm going to try their Sichuan appetizers. The Dried Chicken with Chili Sauce is awesome. Very tasty and with just the right hint of pepper. My friend really enjoyed his Kung Bao Chicken even though he was sweating through most of it. Another friend had a duck dish that was also spicy but he enjoyed it as well. I don't remember what the other two had but we all vowed to head back soon for another meal. Definitely worth the drive from the Boston area for food this good! read more

Pretty standard Chinese fare. Maybe it's the best in the area, but it's nothing different than anything you can get in other parts of the state, and it's not "gourmet" by any stretch of the imagination. The mixed drinks, however, are very affordable. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times and enjoyed it both times. The service is quick and professional, and wait times between courses is minimal. For apps I have had the dumplings and the spicy wings. Both were excellent, the wings were very hot, which I loved. For main courses, the double cooked pork was VERY salty but still managed to have a nice spice level and actually benefited from a night in the fridge, while the spicy beef with napa cabbage was tasty and spicy, but loaded with disgusting cilantro. I wish they would have mentioned that in the description. read more

I have four words for you: real Sichuan kung pao. I've tried other "authentic" Sichuan dishes here, but it's the kung pao that keeps me coming back. No vegetables, just straight up mouth-burning chicken. They comply with my request for "extra red peppers" by putting enough in to have a piece with every bite. They cook the chicken with the cut-up peppers, allowing the flavors to marry -- other places will put red peppers but they will be more of an afterthought flavor (cooked whole). The interior of the restaurant is plastered with reviews about how spicy their food is. It's true! They don't hold back. Both this location and the one in Brookline are about the same in food quality and inviting atmosphere, but I have a slight preference for the Framingham location. Service is a little friendlier; both are freakishly fast though! Best Chinese I've had in metro Boston. It took me four years in the area, but at last, I have found the real Sichuan cuisine I grew up on in California. Yum! read more

As someone who grew up in China and spent many summers there enjoying authentic Sichuan cuisine, finding a gem of a place like this makes my mouth very happy. I can't attest to their American Chinese dishes, or anything that doesn't set your mouth on fire, but everything I've had is flavorful, fresh, and leaves me very satisfied. I recommend the lian feng (green bean cold noodles I believe it's called), beef or fish with nappa cabbage, sauteed green beans to lighten up the meal, ma po tofu, fu qi fei pian (cold tripe and beef maybe?). Everyone raves about their dan dan noodles, but this isn't my favorite. It just lacks a little something... Round up your most adventurous eater buddies and head over - you won't be disappointed! read more

What more need be said, than that I'm seriously considering figuring out a way to get their Fried Tofu and Napa Cabbage with Spicy Chilli Sauce (aka "lava tofu" according to the friend who introduced me to this place) packed on dry ice, and overnighted to my brother, far removed from any decent Chinese food, in North Dakota? Yes, it's that good. read more

The Boyfriend and I went here two Fridays ago based on Skye G.'s reviews and the other Yelp reviews. The Boyfriend and I LOVE spicy food. My problem is convincing servers that very hot is NOT hot enough for me. And alas it was the case here. I ordered everything the hottest available and still had to ask for a side of chili oil. Loved the food here! We order the Hot and Sour Soup, Sichuan Won Ton in Spicy Chili Sauce appetizer, Chicken & Napa Cabbage in Spicy Chili Sauce and the Seafood with Sizzling Rice. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be coming back here to try everything and hopefully I can convince the servers that when I ask for hot, I mean hot! read more

Food was good but be warned: if it has 2 spicy symbols that means it is SUPER spicy. I love my spicy dishes and usually eat Korean tofu soups at a level 3-4. I thought, how bad can 2 little peppers be? Boy was I in for a surprise. The dish was yummy but it definitely packed a punch. I took home the leftovers, added a cup of water and simmered it down with tomatoes and onion...and still sweated through the meal. Old Sichuan Chicken - deliciously fried with just a hint of spice Beef with Spicy Napa Cabbage - the beef was cooked well but I couldnt tell if the dish tasted good or not. My mouth was numb from peppers. I definitely want to try again but with a bit more caution. read more

excellent service and first class food jm

Went here with my Uncle last Saturday night. Had the Dan Dan Noodles, Beef Teriyaki, General Gau's Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, Pork Fried Rice and something else that's escaping me at this time. We had reservations for 6:30, but we were able to meet up earlier. We had not seen each other in a few months and wanted to have a nice dinner and catch up. We placed an order for drinks (couple of very good scorpion bowls). He ordered the hot and sour soup and the remaining dishes mentioned above. His soup came out immediately as did the other 2 apps. We had not even had 2 sips of our cocktails when the appetizers arrived. While enjoying the apps, the main entrees were delivered to the table (not 10 minutes after the apps arrived). Every bite was delicious, but felt very rushed. We were still chatting after we had our fill and started to sense.........'the eye'. Although very polite, you could tell the wait staff was anxious to seat the next patrons. I looked over my right shoulder to see many people waiting to be seated. We took the hint and asked for the check. The place was mobbed and the parking lot is a nightmare. We still really enjoyed the food and felt myself craving it days later. Flash forward a week later. My girlfriend was in London on business for the week (I had dropped her off at Logan prior to meeting my Uncle last weekend). I picked her up at the airport tonight and had suggested we order takeout from here. We ordered the Dan Dan noodles (love em), beef teriyaki, lettuce wraps, pork lo mein, frog in brown sauce, General Gau's chicken and the tangerine shrimp. We arrived on time to pick it up, but it was not ready. I had to shuffle my car back and forth in the parking lot (no spaces really and I did not want to take a space from patrons who would be dining in). That was a little stressful. I'm just happy I did not run over anyone during my 15+ reverse, forward, rinse and repeat cycles. That parking lot...SUCKS!!!! She does not have the genetic disposition that I (Jewish) have for the love of Chinese food. She does like it, but does not crave it like I do. Well, she was very impressed with everything, with the exception of the frog (not her thing and I knew that I would be hopping on this one solo........apologies for the bad pun). So to wrap up my first review on Yelp......I would really recommend this place and rate it a 5 star based on food. The 1 star was dropped due to the fact that the parking sucks on the weekend and I felt very rushed while dining in. I will return here, but only on a weekday or for lunch on a weekend. read more

I came here after searching for a Chinese buffet. No buffet (thanks, Yelp!). That being said the food was very good, although the portions weren't as big as hoped for the price. I can say that I was the only person in the restaurant who appeared to be of Occidental descent, which I took as a good sign! read more

After eating here last night, I was aghast to see that there are lots of positive reviews on this place, as we had a really bad experience. My gf cannot eat MSG, so we asked them to make our wonton soup without. We were served cold wonton soup with no flavor. It literally looked like a few measly dumplings in water with a limp piece of spinach in it. We asked them to remake it with salt, but all they did was reheat it and changed nothing. To add insult to injury, they left the item on the bill, which we had to send back, and then the head waitress admitted to knowing it was still on there! The wait staff told us that they make everything with MSG! I was in shock, because most every place I know in Chinatown advertise No MSG and no transfats! We asked them to make my gf's seafood over sizzling rice dish without MSG, and it was tasteless. My beef with nappa cabbage was sitting in a pool of oil. As we already made a fuss with little understanding from the staff, we decided to eat it and just never return. And, not once, did anyone come over and ask how the food was or see if we needed more water and tea. Plus, they charge $1.75 for rice, which also was cold! That is incredibly petty! The place was filled with Asian families, so I was shocked about how bad the food was given their clientele, unless Asians don't mind to eat all that MSG and that is wherein their flavor lies. I don't know, but we will certainly never return and encourage others to do the same. What a waste of money! Plus, bring a coat, as they are stingy with the heat! -Scott read more

The second in the Sichuan Gourmet family, this hard to find and inconvenient to get to restaurant deserves a fighting chance. It is a wonderfully authentic Chinese restaurant. The people in my office eat there(and we are all Chinese AND Chinese food snobs). I love spicy food so I go for spicy veg mapo tofu, spicy Yu Xiang eggplant, and Chinese spinach with garlic. The vegetarian menu has a nice selection. It's off of Route 9 on the Worcester heading side so it's kind of a pain to get to, but worth the drive for it's nice ambiance, clean interior, and excellent foods. read more

My wife and I love the food here. We usually get take out. There are plenty of places for Chinese Food in the city but we keep coming back to Sichuan Gourmet because it's so much better! Everything tastes super fresh and I was blown away the first time I had it. We love Sichuan Gourmet and are looking forward to dining in when we get the chance. read more

As other reviews said the dan dan noodles are the best: spicy but not too spicy, flavorful, complexity in the textures, the portion not too large, good price. The rice with pork was also delicious. The tea was also a great complement. Excellent service and fast. Tried other people's chicken with tangerine and though that was not as good. read more

Caution! HOT! I knew what I will be getting from the name "sichuan" -- it's the province famous for it's spicy food. but boy, I didn't know it would be this hot. The food was delicious. We ordered a fish dish, it came in a bowl filled with spicy broth, and veggies. It was really good but I can only had a couple pieces of fish before I finished 2 glasses of water and all the rice I had on my plate. We also ordered a cold noodle dish and it was great too. prefect for the summer. read more

We had a great experience tonight at the Sichuan Gourmet. We have passed it hundreds of times on Rt 9, but never when we were in search of food, so tonight when my boyfriend asked for Asian food, I remembered it and we decided to give it a go. We shared won ton soup, hot and sour soup, pan fried Peking ravioli, sweet and sour chicken and chicken fried rice. It was very good. My favorite dishes: The won ton soup (it was served for 2 for $4.95, but had enough for 2 bowls each in it) .. it was very tasty and best the best value of all the things we ordered. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was excellent!! The sauce wasn't too thick and the batter was light and crunchy. Very nice!! Overall, we were very pleased with our meal and will definitely go back!! read more
