BOS' SiChuan Taste一碟川菜馆

We’ve recently started spending more time around the Brookline and Allston area, and this Saturday we decided to give BOS’ SiChuan Taste (一碟川菜馆) a try. First of all, it was surprisingly easy to find street parking nearby. After checking with the owner, we were happy to hear that they welcome well-behaved dogs to dine with you—our husky Max was able to sit with us instead of waiting in the car, which made our experience even better. Unlike many other places, the owner and staff here are actually from Sichuan, and you can really feel that in both their hospitality and the food. The dishes were authentic and flavorful—especially the cold noodles, which reminded us of the real taste we’ve missed for a long time. The fish dish we ordered was also cooked in a unique Sichuan style: very refresh, tender and delicious, and with no fishy smell at all. Even Max got treated to a bowl of ice water! We truly loved the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for real Sichuan food, especially if you want to avoid the crowds of Boston’s Chinatown.

Authentic Chinese Gem in Allston! As someone who’s traveled to China many times, I’ve developed a real appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine—and living in Boston, that’s not always easy to find. That’s why I was so impressed when I stumbled upon this humble little spot in Allston. The food is absolutely amazing—especially the duck and the Kung Pao chicken, which were both bursting with bold, traditional flavors. The atmosphere is simple, no frills, but it adds to the charm and authenticity. If you’re craving genuine Chinese food, especially Szechuan-style dishes, this is definitely a place worth checking out!

Casual modern Sichuan fare with underrated hits. Stopped by a couple times for quick lunches, and while they’re not as busy as it once was (especially with Mountain House around the corner), the food here still beats most Sichuan spots I’ve been in the city. Clean space, solid service, and no misses. My favorites so far were the Braised pork elbow and the Beef brisket noodles. The pork elbow was like a warm, heartier version of the garlic pork appetizer—slightly fattier, but the chili flakes on the side added a sweet-spicy kick that balanced it perfectly. As for the noodles, the shoyu-style broth was light yet savory, with tender brisket and perfectly al dente noodles. Simple, comforting, and well-executed. I also tried two lunch specials, both decent but with minor quirks. The potato grilled pork ribs donburi had well-seasoned ribs paired with braised vegetables—flavorful, though the bone cuts were a bit awkward (watch out for sharp edges). The "halibut rice" was misleading—no fish, just braised pork belly in a soy-BBQ sauce. Still tasty over rice. The prices here aren’t exactly budget-friendly, but I would occasionally come back for that braised pork elbow.

The service is really good. They had option of hot sweetened soy milk as complimentary drinks, which goes well with the spicy dishes. The sweet duck was crispy on the skin, the lotus roots and celtuce are fresh and delicious. Would recommend reserve in advance, as it gets quite busy during the weekend.

This is my husband’s favorite Sichuan restaurant in the Allston area, and we tried some new dishes this time. The garlic pork slices were impressive, with a slightly chewy texture and a flavorful, rich chili sauce. However, the boiled fish was a bit disappointing—the fish seemed to be frozen, affecting the texture and taste, despite the thoughtful seasoning. Special mention goes to the excellent service. The waitress patiently helped us move to a warmer table and kept refilling our water and soy milk. Overall, the experience was a mix of good flavors and warm hospitality.

Amazing restaurant! Maybe the best Sichuan restaurant in all of Boston. The duck intestines and chicken gizzard was scrumptiously spicy, the spicy pork kidney was comparatively not spicy and hence a perfect balance, and the double pepper bullfrog was perfect (unlike some other restaurants in the area). The service was excellent (you scan the menu and put in your order online and then they bring it to your table) and we got a good recommend for the jelly dessert. The only thing I can even complain of is that it cooled down in the evening but the AC was still so strong that it was pretty cold in the restaurant. I heartily recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Sichuan food!

Foood tasted decent but portion sizes are very very misleading. Do not trust their BOGO offering on uber eats. It’s false advertising. Each portion is just 1/2 portion. So it’s not really bogo. We were able to fit BOTH portions into one container and still close the lid

I was so surprised with their chopsticks 🥢 the chopstick’s parts need to be put together to become a complete chopstick, I have never seen anything like this before. Food here is so delicious, outstanding Chinese food. Especially Sichuan food! A bit more sweet than other places but it’s just perfect and balanced flavor. I really enjoy the food here and definitely come back to try more food menu. The service is ok, you will get less interaction with the server. You can order everything via QR code. The food will come to you without speaking to anyone. And the end of the meals, you will get a luxury to go box which is really fancy to me. High quality to go box, and I have never seen anything like it in other Chinese restaurants.
