Boston’s Best Chinese Restaurants | Eater Boston

"In the highly competitive Sichuan food scene in Boston, this under-the-radar place has carved out a niche for itself, winning a strong fanbase in its bustling corner of Allston. Unlike the showstopping, over-the-top presentations seen at Mountain House, Little Tao tells an intimate story about Sichuan cuisine by focusing on no-frills home-cooking techniques, which its Chengdu chef Tao Liu has spent three decades honing. Try the house-cured meat and sausages, a local tradition that’s been passed down for generations; or order the Sichuan mom’s pork knuckle soup to warm your heart on a snowy, wintry night." - Nathan Tavares
