Been here many time. Wonderful food, price and ambience. Great value while retaining a sense of originality of the cuisine.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! My friends and I go here all the time for Lunch, and stop by for dinner when we are craving a good night out! I have tried a lot of Chinese Restaurants, but this one has them all beat hands down-Totally worth the drive out there. The service is always prompt, sometimes they get busy for lunch but that is just because the food is so good. Dinner gets a little more pricey, but the portions and the quality are well worth it for Lunch or Dinner. You always get enough food, and plenty for leftovers. Their Potstickers are divine, Fried Rice is very tasty, and I highly recommend the Sweet and Sour Chicken, the Honey Walnut Crispy Chicken, Mongolian Beef, or the Kung Pao Beef. If you order it spicy, you will get SPICY. Great for a date or a work lunch, and especially with a big group of friends. We love Sichuan Gourmet!! read more

After reading all the reviews I was expecting something extraordinary. I agree it was good and I like heat but I have had better. Would I go there again Yes, probably for dinner and try some other things. I want to know if anyone has some Chinese restaurant that is really exceptional????? read more

I tried this restaurant several years ago and was really underwhelmed so we never went back until recently. I'm so glad we did. They have the best dry green beans, pork fried rice, and beef teryaki. Everything we've had has been good though. read more

Food is delicious, service can be atrocious, however. This is one of the best chinese restaurants in the MetreoWest areas. Don't expect your server to be as friendly as in cheesecake factory. If you like spicy food then you'll love this place. My favorite dishes are spicy pepper shrimps and dandan noodles (sichuan style, different from shanghaiese style which is noodles soup with peanut sauce). Parking can be horrendous sometimes especially during weekend. read more

Did a take out last night, order chicken and beef lowmein. I was afraid that the lowmein would be all greasy and lumpy like all other Chinese restaurants, but I was quite surprise that it was actually delicious and tasted exactly the same as how they make it in Tibetan restaurants in India. I guess from now on, if i want my lowmein,Sichuan Gourmet will be my go to place. :) yummy!! read more

The Sichuan Gourmet was recommended to us by a friend. We decided to try it. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We decided to stay to the basics because we had never been. The hot and sour soup was delicious and so was the wonton soup. We had pork fried rice, eggplant and vegitable chow mein. All very good. The food was fresh, flavorful and piping hot and served quickly. We had leftovers to take home which also heated up well the next day. We will be back. Worth the trip. read more

We frequent Sichuan at least once a week... The way I was treated tonight will end that. We ordered take out online, after 30 minutes of generous time we arrived and went inside to pick up our order... she simply rang up my bill, charged me, then said that they didn't have my order and it would be 15 minutes and they'd rush it... Turns out the cell phone they use to receive online orders was being used by what appears to be the manager, and they never placed my order... If you screw up a customers order, apologize, explain what happened, because maybe I didn't want to wait 15 minutes for your screw up, I sure as hell didn't want to pay full price for your screw up. She said sorry after handing me my order but was busy texting so not sure if it was sincere... Time to find a new weekly Chinese restaurant... read more

This is my first time to rate a restaurant at one star. The food was that horrible. I went to Sichuan Gourmet restaurant in Billerica a couple of times and liked the authentic and hot sichuan food there. My wife recently found this restaurant in Framingham from Zagat 2009-2010, which is probably a branch restaurant newly open. It wasn't on the previous Zagat, but it got 27 points right away in the latest version which is almost the top rating, so our expectation was very high. We could finally make time and went there for dinner. We ordered hot and sour soup to have a first impression of how good the cook is. When the soup was served, hmmm... it tasted a little weird. It didn't taste clear enough, but we thought it could be like that. The other food was served. The following is the dishes that we ordered. - hot and sour soup - Cellophane noodle with minced pork - Chicken & Napa Cabbage w. Spicy Chili Sauce - Home Style Sea Cucumber - Mafa Tofu - Brown Rice Yes, we ordered a lot more than we can have, but we really want to taste a few and pack the rest. I like hot food and ordered all hot menu except for the rice. To my great disappointment, everything came with a lot of vegetable oil. I think it was corn oil, which was not in good quality. The cellophane noodle wasn't cooked enough for the noodle to take the sauce yet, but later, it became better. It was not as great as we used to have from another restaurant in Belmont though, but this dish was the best on the table although it was still soaked in vegetable oil. The chicken came next. The chicken was very hot in temperature and tasted great, but the sauce was also full of vegetable oil. I like vegetable, but the cabbage in this dish smelled like oily ramen, so I ate the chicken only. It's mafa tofu that came next. In fact, I liked mata tofu from the same restaurant in Billerica which made me go to the restaurant again just for it, but this one had very strange oily smell and taste. I had only one spoon and that was it. I left the whole dish. The worst was the sea cucumber. The decoration of the dish was pretty good. In fact, the visual was the best out of the four dishes. When I tasted the sea cucumber, I was wondering if it was a fake one. The surface wasn't bumpy like the real sea cucumbers. Also, as time passed, it got even softer and tasted like starch. It may not be fair to judge this restaurant only by the dishes that I ordered, but out of total 6 dishes that we ordered, the best was the brown rice just because it was as good as that in other restaurants. Cellophane noodle was acceptable. The other four were not acceptable at all. I cannot understand how this restaurant got 27 points from Zagat. I went to a few Zagat 27 point restaurants, but this is far from it. I would rate this below 15 points. Maybe I didn't order the dishes that they can do well. If you can suggest good dishes that you experienced, please let the yelp people know. If I have another chance, I'd probably like to try different dishes without oil, and post the experience here again. By the way, I'm an Asian and I like hot food very much. I even liked their hotness of two peppers. What I was disappointed is the quality and the taste of food. read more

Went there after xmas shopping. Great quality and quantity food as usual without breaking the bank. My in law took left over to her husband and kid. read more

Food is always good! I prefer the take out though, because when ever we go in there it's always super busy. It's always clean inside. My biggest thing here is that the chicken is real chicken. Not the kind that reminds you of processed chicken nuggets. read more

I have no idea why it took me this long to try this place. It was fantastic. Authentic, delicious, and fairly priced. I've tried the veggie lo mein, an eggplant dish, and a great dumpling appetizer. read more

Great chinese food! I frequently get the Kung Pao chicken or beef. If you order it extra spicy you'll get extra spicy -- they're not shy with the spices. My only complaint is that you have to pay extra for rice. Overall a great place for chinese food if you're in the Natick Mall/Shoppers World area! read more

Amazingly tasty and delicious food with attentive friendly service. Our new go to Chinese restaurant. We special ordered spicy chicken with black bean sauce; it was made perfectly! The shredded beef with scallions and onions had a peppery flavor that really was amazing. For an appetizer we had crab Rangoon which was home made, light and crunchy. We are looking forward to returning soon. read more

My very best bet for a spicy dinner takeout on cold New England nights! Yum. Their special 'wonder sauce' is incredibly fiery : even for someone like me who was raised on red hot Indian food. read more

The Dan Dan noodles are out of this world! The staff is always friendly and the food is quickly prepared. The ingredients always taste fresh. I have only tried a couple of Chinese restaurants in the area so it is difficult to say it is the best in the area, but it is certainly the best I have had so far. I look forward to trying more of their sichuan dishes. read more

Very disappointed. I have come here twice now because I love the sechuan gourmet in Brookline and both times the food has been very bland and lacking any flavor other than spice. If you want good sechuan food go to the one in Brookline. read more

It used to be good. They raised the price although the amounts of the foods are smaller than before. The steamed rice is one of the cheapest items. They shouldn't have charged it. I used to eat a few times per month but not any more. I go there a few times a year now. Based on quality, the price is too high!!! read more

Had high expectations during my first visit based on Yelp reviews but came away very disappointed. Food was heavily laden with oil and salt, and staff was not very attentive or friendly. As another reviewer suggested, maybe it is just the style of Sichuan cuisine that they serve, but to me, the food was not very pleasant at all. read more

I love Sichuan food. I have been to every Sichuan restaurants in Boston area. What I found is that some places has a bigger and more exotic menu. However Sichuan Gourmet is the one delivered the food most consistently. Throughout years, the same dish taste the same every time I ordered. And it always great! read more

It was the worst service I have ever had in a restaurant and to top it off was lied to . We went on 01/17 with a party of 4 we had to wait for a few min to be seated and it's wasn't a big deal . When we were seated and we were directed to a table with 3 seats and I stood and waited for the 4 seat and was just ignored I guess I had to get my own chair . We started our order with some soup and it was just yummy and we started to get some of our meal but no appetizer ,more of our meal was being served but still no appetizer eventfully it came when half of our meal was already eaten . but we were still waiting on our rice and noodles after several requests we got our rice but it wasn't what we ordered we received steamed rice we requested beef/fried , the waitress said that how it's done in China ,really my wife is Asian we know what steamed is and it's definitely not fried. my wife commented and waitress insultingly insisted it was , oh we never did get our noodles. I will never recommend it. read more

Will never step in here again. The managers are mean liars. If I can give this restaurant 0 star I will give it. I have never see the waiting line being managed poorly like this. I knew tonight would be busy so I called to make ourselves in line. (6:40 pm) They first lie to me that they will have a table for me in 40 mins (7:20 pm). When I bring the whole family (3 adults and 2 3-year-old) arriving at 7:00 pm, I confirm with the male manager for the table. And he checked my last name and stated that my table will be opened in 30 mins (7: 30 pm). After 10 mins waiting, I found that people in line are holding number stickers. When I asked, a female manage throw to me" we don't take telephone reserve, you have to start over. Here is your number." (7:10 pm). I argued of course. The male manager came out and said he found my spot in line and there were 5 groups of people ahead of us. After 6 groups of people got their seats, I went to the managers again (7:45 pm). The female showed me the piece of paper as waiting list. There are still 8 groups of people ahead of us!!! They not just made me wait, but also let people cutting lines! And she, with a smile, said to me" i told you we don't take telephone reserve. When business is good and we are busy, this is normal." They on purpose lie to make me wait for 1 hour. If they told me there were 14 groups ahead of us, I would have gone to the other restaurant. To keep my business, they make me, my wife, my best friend, my two 3-year-old starving and standing in the chaos crowd. They might thought after 1 hour of waiting, we will just stay even been treated like that. But we left and will not step in this restaurant forever. I feel regret that I have been giving business to them several times and always tipped well. read more

Iam a big fan of sichuan cheddar chicken and gangou dry fish.I will go here again and again for that taste

We have been faithful customers for about six years. We keep going back even after having moved from Massachusetts. The food is superb, service is great. We appreciate favorfuland hot dishes; and they sure have them. Not an American-Chinese place, it is "just" Chinese. Our favorite. read more

authentic - best Chinese food in the burbs by far

This place blows all the other Chinese restaurants in the area out of the water. And when they say a dish is spicy, they mean it is HOT HOT HOT. But it's so delicious that it's totally worth the sweat. Our favorite menu items: Sichuan Wonton w. Spicy Chili Sauce (I wish I could buy a bottle of this sauce to take home!); Cumin Flavored Dry Beef w. Chili Sauce (LOADED with cumin and out of this world); Pork & Napa Cabbage w. Spicy Chili Sauce (this is actually from their beef menu, but they'll make it with pork if you request it); and the Sichuan Style String Beans. They also have a full bar with reasonably priced drinks, and the service is excellent. read more

Tastes great! Best part is no MSG. Pricing about 60th percentile relative to other Chinese restaurants

we waited for 15 minutes to get the seat. location is very shady, totally no lighting at the entrance/parking lot. food arrived very quickly and was upto the mark. different from other chinese restaurants. service was quick. although not very nice. my daughter spilled water on the table and the server was looking at us, while we were cleaning up the table. then she realized and got some cloth from the kitchen to clean up. read more

My only complaint is that I've been wasting my time on other Chinese food restaurants in the area. This place is so good, great flavors and fresh ingredients. read more

Wow, it was shocking how rude the service was at Sichuan Gourmet. Each of the waitresses that came to our table were almost hostile - they certainly seemed as though they wanted to be somewhere else! The food is decent, but I will not go back because of the poor service. read more

Yumm & great service & value. Place is well suited for large parties. Came with large family. Staff was very accommodating for special requests. read more

Now this is real and quality Asian/Chinese place. Dishes are authentic; very popular with people who know the real thing. Dishes are spicy and exotic; you can ask them to tone it down if you're not adventurous. read more

Sichuan Gourmet, so glad I found you. Having come from the Bay area, it's pretty tough to find awesome Chinese food- - or any kind of Asian food in New England. That is, until I discovered Sichuan Gourmet, authentic Sichuan food. I was introduced to the restaurant by one of my Indian friends, who was on a quest for spicy Asian food, and that was nearly a year ago. Since then, I try to get my Sichuan fix as often as I can! When I see a room fool of Asians in a Chinese restaurant, I know it has to be good! The best dish on the menu is the dried chicken chili- - it's crispy fried bits of chicken thigh in a spicy red oil with green chillies. We also love the dan dan noodles. What has become my all-time favorite dish there is the fried lobster in chili oil - - it is to die for. I actually prefer the fried king crab legs, but they've stopped making it! I couldn't believe it! It was the best BEST thing I had on their menu. I also recommend the cabbage and tofu in chili sauce as well as the sichuan green beans. In fact, that's what I had for dinner tonight. :) read more

came in on a friday night, the place was packed ! pretty good authentic chinese food place spot. i ordered the dry chicken, the dandan noodle, roasted duck, and chinese vegetables. they were all good, and portions were also very good. service was ok, no complaints here. read more

My personal favorite Sichuan restaurant, maybe in the United States. Great prices, and quality is always awesome. Lunch specials are a steal - authentic and large quantity. Service is also great - best service I've received from any Chinese restaurant. When I used to work in Framingham, I would eat here at least twice a week. Gem. read more

Authentic si chuan food, very fast service, always busy, food taste great. You can request for "less spicy or less oily" as needed. Can be a little crowded at times but overall good experience. Had dinner or lunch 3 times at this place so far. Would go much more often if I lived closer. read more

I am in no way a Chinese food connoisseur, but this is the best Chinese food we've found in the Framingham/Natick area. You know how some Chinese restaurants you go in to pick up some takeout and the place is empty? I've never seen this place empty. Quality food, fast service. I only wish they delivered. read more

Food is great. It's definitely a restaurant I recommend if you want Chinese food that doesn't disappoint. Portion sizes are a bit small. I have to say their crab ragoons are the best. read more

Tend to prefer this one over the others around the area but the food can be inconsistent. This place does not deliver but you can order and pickup. read more

This is some high quality chinese food. It is not greasy. Yeah it's a bit expensive, but it is worth it. I can't give this place 5 stars because I have had better, if you can believe that! It is very crowded at night on weekends, and it is NOT wheelchair or lazy person accessible. They are on the second floor and you have to walk up a big flight of stairs. Staff courteous and prompt, food EXCELLENT! read more
