"Sichuanese restaurant Noah’s Kitchen has quietly been amassing clout in Brookline Village, which has seen growing competition in recent years. Don’t be tricked by its lowkey-ness, because it has some of the most hard-to-find Sichuan dishes in the area, such as braised pig trotter, house-cured pork, and spicy bullfrog casserole." - Nathan Tavares, Valerie Li Stack, Eater Staff

I recently dined at Noah’s Kitchen and would say I’ll visit again because of the great taste of their dishes. I love spicy Sichuan flavors, particularly the Signature Dan Dan Noodles and Hotpot Beef Brisket. The food all tastes so good. But it was really busy during lunch hours and I recommend making reservations rather than walk-ins. The service can be improved. I saw the waitresses were overwhelmed by multitasking. I also didn't see the manager or someone greeting us and saying farewells when we left. The environment was clean and chill. I was surprised by the songs played in the restaurant when I heard Kendrick Lamar🥹. Also the menus were a lot to read and pictures would definitely help!!

Very large menu, everything tasted great, especially the Bonito eggplant. The food all came out super hot, freshly cooked. Portions were large. Only complaint was the order they brought out the food, we got our appetizers very quickly and then our entrees one by one in 12≈ minute intervals.

Fantastic food, beautiful restaurant and super staff. We enjoyed everything about this place and can’t wait to go back. Our first trip so we ordered a lot of what we typically order at Sichuan restaurants and they did everything perfectly. Can’t wait to go back and explore their very interesting menu. We travelled about a half hour to get here and it was easily worth going if it was twice that long.

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say, their Sichuan cuisine is the best I've tasted in the United States. The braised beef brisket, in particular, was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and simply delicious. Every dish we ordered was exceptional, with a perfect balance of authentic flavors and quality ingredients. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I will definitely be returning to try more dishes. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Sichuan food!

Love their lunch special, especially “Braised Chicken Bowl” AMAZING! Even their waitresses know my favorite dish when I walked in to the restaurant. I brought my parents and friends to Noah’s Kitchen twice a month or maybe more… My mom said “You are really obsessed with their food.” I laughed so hard, but it true! Amazing food and a great environment too! FYI: Do you reservation ahead of time, or just call them for the reservation will be easier. The waiting time can be challenged before, but they recently changed a lot and made the process more smoothly. Looking forward to go back to this place again! Maybe this weekend, or maybe tomorrow lunch time. Hahaha : )

My favorite Szechuan place in town! I’m so addicted to their dishes. Chef came from Chengdu so if you are a sucker for spicy food like me you’ve gotta check them out. That said if you can’t handle too much spicy stuff make sure to let them know- they’ll go easy on the amount of pepper they put in your food🌶️🥰 (or even no pepper😇) They do a really good job catering to your dietary needs. omg… I’m hungry…

Food and service were good. They had a 1 or 2 hour time limit, but we had enough time to eat. They had many vegitarian and non vegitarian choices.

Eggplant strips in sauce and garlic poke ( long) beans good/very good Pork ribs, dynamite sauce,, in a hot hot hot sauce; ribs plentiful, and sauce way to hot. Japanese beer very good Rice, white was flavorful which is unusual for white rice. $62. Clean clean, almost all customers Asian ( at least on Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm.

Sizzling Eggplant in soy Sauce with bonito flakes - 3.5/5 Szechuan style fish fillet in spicy broth - 4.5/5 Stir fry Beef with mix mushroom and black pepper 4/5 First Impression~ In general it's a great place to eat. The atmosphere and lighting is warm and comfy. Well lit but not too bright. The only issue is during busy times, it's hard to get a seat and when you do, it feels kind of rushed. The server explicitly told us we had one hour to eat and leave. Lots of pressure. The Food~ I've had Szechuan style fish fillet in multiple places in Boston, but I would put this as one of the top. The soup wasn't too oily, it was thick with a nice kick, there was a lot of fish, and the veggies didn't melt away in the soup. The fish was super tender and a lot of meat to it. Perfect to pair with some rice. The stir fry beef with mix mushroom had some good textures to it. A lot of different kind of mushrooms with a good soy sauce based and black pepper flavor. The eggplant was my least favorite and the server forgot about the dish. It came out 45 minutes late, so not sure I can give it a fair rating. The Logistics~ There's a lot of street parking around the area and if you can't get into this restaurant because it's busy there are a lot of other places to try within a block radius.

A friend recommend this place so we came to try it out. The interior design looks very pretty but it was very noisy and we(3 of us) had a hard time hearing our conversation. Food was ok, but not worth the price. We order 6 dishes, 1 dish never came. We try to order fried rice, it had a list of fried rice on the menu, but the waitress say ,we are not serving fried rice. And yet, we see the next table is having some sort of fried rice. But my friend insist, and finally the waitress say.. ok, we will make it. So they just fried the tasteless rice with some egg. Then the Bill came to $132, and we paid $150. The waitress was shaking her head and just stood there. So I ask her "is there a problem? "She does not say anything n tell me ..the total is $132... so I repeated ...the Bill is $132, and we paid $150, what is the problem?? She just stood there, while the 3 of us looking at each other and don't know what to do. Then she kept pointing out $132 is our total... ???? Yes we know, we say we gave you $150... and...??? What is the problem? ..then one of my friend gave her $5 more.Then this time she was satisfied and ask if we need the change....?? Huh?? So I said YES!!!!. Then she went and gave us $3 back and let us go. One star is for the interior design of the restaurant. Ok...I don't think I will go back again.

Wow!!! This is the best sichuan food I've had in Boston!! It's one of my favorite cuisines, and I feel like Noah's really elevates it. My favorite dish was the fish fillet with mustard greens. The portion size was huge, and it had vermicelli noodles in it, which I usually don't see but love. The twice cooked pork was some of the best I've had before too, it wasn't too soggy. It was still crispy. Everything was a little expensive, but they give you a lot of food. We took home a lot of leftovers after.

Highly recommend ordering family style so you can try more things! Sautéed Eggplant with Long Beans - it was sautéed and seasoned well. The eggplant and long beans were very fresh. Chongqing Spicy Popcorn Chicken (Bone-in) - the chicken pieces were very small so with the bone, there was very little meat. I would probably get boneless next time. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be.

Jeremy L.

Yelp
Decent but pricey Chinese food. Dishes were overall tasty but quite hit or miss. The sauteed beef with mushrooms in black pepper sauce was disappointing - it was made with beef strips instead of thicker beef slices. The twice cooked pork belly was also lacking flavor and not worth the price. The sweet and sour plummy pork ribs was the best dish, full of flavor and cooked well. The fish and pickled greens stew was also tasty and served with vermicelli. Dan dan noodles were a miss - it could've used more peanuts and more ground meat. The stir fried chicken and garlic pea pods were alright, but very pricey. Overall, not bad in terms of quality but you can get better chinese food for the same price point elsewhere.

Very solid choice for some quality Chinese food in Boston! Nestled away in Brookline Village, the exterior belies a very enchanting interior with tasteful decor. Think Linsey Lohan's opening scene in the Chinese restaurant Freaky Friday meets your trendy local spot worthy of bringing non-Asian coworkers to. The taste is authentic; I highly recommend the twice cooked pork belly. Waiters are very attentive with bringing you water, checking on you, and even bringing boxes at the end for leftovers. The service is much nicer than you'd expect from places in Chinatown. Prices are a bit higher than your usual spot, but that's to be expected given the cleanliness, ambiance, service quality, and delicious food. Would definitely come here again with a group! Only con is you may have to wait a while, with or without a reservation. Cancelled reservations incur a $100 no-show fee, which, if actually enforced, is outrageously steep in my opinion.

Went here for lunar new year dinner with friends! We made sure to make a reservation about a week in advance since it gets pretty crowded especially weekend nights. The menu items all seemed really spicy which scared me since I'm not really good with spice, but I decided to be brave and try new things tonight! The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Even though it was spicy, I evened it out with their rice and we ordered sautéed salt yolk deep-fried shrimp ball which was so so yummy and not spicy at all! Would definitely recommend the steamed fish as well. It was so soft and flavorful. All of their meat was a perfect soft texture and very easy to chew. Very fast serving us the food as well. Also, the drink menu was hilarious and very cute (I've included a few pictures of it) They had some dragon themed stuff because of new year. Thanks for the great food!

Cute and cozy Chinese dining in Brookline. The flavors were all great however I think execution could've been a bit better. - Their sweet and sour pork ribs were seasoned perfectly BUT it was just overcooked. There were a few pieces that were a bit tough, which was a disappointing considering the flavors were spot on. - Their steamed fish was also bursting with wonderful flavors -- spicy, sour, umami, but once again it was just overdone. - The Tibetan sizzling beef was the star. Super soft, super flavorful, and makes you crave more. I personally recommend eating the dish with rice because I feel that the pita flavor fights the flavor of the beef. The pita is super soft though and the dish is definitely one of the must tries. I gave it a four star because of the flavors and vibes. I'd say it's worth a visit. I would come back, especially to see the consistency of their execution. If I get more over cooked food, you'll see another review from me!

A great spot to enjoy Chinese food and beautiful decor! We made a reservation for four on a Thursday evening. It was pretty much full so I'd recommend booking a table if you can. There's a variety of table sizes, so if you have a larger group, they might be able to accommodate you. We ordered a large bowl of white rice, eggplant with bonito flakes, traditional kung pao chicken, twice cooked pork belly, and sweet and sour fish filet. My favorites were the eggplant and fish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and filling. I would definitely come back to try out more of their menu!

Noah's kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in Brookline village. The twice fried pork is a must but most things I've tried have been very good. As usual, the service is prompt and friendly and would definitely come back

Seems like a pretty popular spot, so I'd recommend reservations if you're coming on a weekend night. Has cool vibes and decor. I thought the dumplings were quite good, but the pork belly roll with garlic paste was not enjoyable. Perhaps it's quite authentic, but cold pork belly just didn't work for me. I'm definitely interested to try more dishes here, but overall I've had better luck for Sichuan at Blossom Bar down the street.

Kelly C.

Yelp
I got the mapo tofu and the pea shoots for takeout. They were very fast. Both were very good. I think this is a great spot if you're looking for a place to take your Asian parents or looking to introduce your friends to some Chinese food. I would definitely return to try other dishes.

We came here with a group of four on a weeknight and the space was decently busy - no need to wait though which was nice. We were seated once all of us arrived and placed our order pretty quickly. They recommended the same amount of entrees as people, however with an appetizer this proved to be a little too much food - I'd just say go with your gut. The serving sizes are decent (not too large) so you'll fill up as much as you'd expect. Other than this interaction, service was overall okay - not amazing, but got the job done. Everything was pretty good, although I think the price was way too expensive for what was given. The quality was decent however which made the meal pretty delicious. I think the eggplant and tofu dishes were probably my favorites - they did a very good job! Overall, I probably wouldn't come back unless someone else wanted to try it due to the price, but the meal itself was okay. If you're in the mood for decent Chinese food and aren't afraid to spend a bit, this is the spot for you!

This is definitely the best Sichuan restaurant that I've been to in Boston. We came here on a business dinner in a group of six and ordered a bunch of different dishes to share. We were seated on a round table with a rotating table top so it was quite easy to share the food. The service is efficient and the ambiance is okay, but the food is the main event. - The boiled Sichuan style fish was delicious but a little greasy. - The tripe with beef was excellent -- very flavorful - The chongqin spicy chicken was filled with red peppers and crunchy chicken. Not for the faint of heart but again excellent. - The sautéed garlic pea leaves were good, but typical. - The pork belly roll was outstanding -- great flavors - The crispy rice with shrimp balls was sweet -- not my favorite but helped break down the spiciness of the other dishes - The sautéed bullfrog in spicy sauce was flavorful but very bony. Interesting taste though. A definite place to visit again!

Langley F.

Yelp
Every time I get a jonesing for Bullfrog Casserole, I have to go to Noahs. It's the best in town and nowhere else can you get that many frogs for that price. That along with a nice plate of crispy fried throat is my go to. Also highly recommend the "Blood with Something Else," its not what you'd expect it is certainly "something else."

Delicious umami food to put it simply. Tibetan sizzling beef - Not overrated, so fresh and tender! Spicy boiling fish fillet - I will *always* order this dish in a Szechuan restaurant and Noah's was one of the best I've ever had! Great balance of salty and spicy, plenty of fish, and topped with herbs. Spicy Szechuan chicken - I had overlooked that this dish was bone in but it was still delicious. It was spicier than expected to my delight. It was tasty but the oil/peppers were slightly burnt. Dan dan noodles - Ordered extra and they certainly delivered. This version did not contain mustard greens or veggies. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed given the rave reviews. I found it to lack salt (soy sauce) and tang (Chinese vinegar) not to mention the chili oil used in the sauce tasted burnt. I brought it home and added some soy sauce and greens which improved it a lot. I couldn't believe how quickly I got my food.. seriously in under 5 minutes my four dishes came out! The staff was friendly but they didn't check in after they took my order, forgot my drink, and then took ages to flag down to grab the check. It wasn't that busy so maybe just got overlooked. Not a big deal and I will be back for sure! Food may seem quite pricey but it is very high quality.

Manfred S.

Yelp
Excellent, authentic Sichuan cuisine in a cosy little restaurant. It is always an enjoyable atmosphere. Minced garlic, pork belly, noodles have an authentic Chengdu taste. Other favorites: cabbage, flavored with fermented black beans, water boiled fish, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, eggplant, sichuan spicy chicken, and many more that I can barely remember. They have an extensive collection of sake, whiskies, and baijiu! Their cold sakes go wey well with Sichuan food. Service is super friendly and effecticient. Plan ahead, if you want to go with a bigger party or on a busy day (graduation season was packed).

Zhi Z.

Yelp
Been hitting up this spot since 2021 and it's honestly my go-to for amazing food. Every dish is super fresh and packed with flavor - it's like a little trip to Sichuan right here in Boston. Plus, Chef Noah is pretty much a local legend for the way he's putting Asian cuisine on the map in our city. If you're around, you've gotta swing by. Trust me, it's worth it!

Authentic food! You can get real spicy dishes here. Lots options, very creative menu and changes often. Food presentation is nice as well. Staffs are friendly. The window seat is so cute and personal. Highly recommended!

I'm obsessed with Noah's Kitchen after my long-overdue first visit. I was absolutely delighted with everything I had. The menu is so expansive and everything looks so good so it was hard to choose what to order. We had five people and so were able to try a variety of dishes. We tried two classic Szechuan style dishes -- the Szechuan spicy fish fillets and the Chongqing spicy chicken. Even though these dishes taste pretty similar anywhere I go I was surprised because they somehow managed to elevate the dishes and pack them with unique and powerful flavors. The fish was very tender with a great savory flavor while the chicken had a strong numbing spicy punch. I thoroughly enjoyed both of these dishes and would definitely get the fish fillet again. We also got the squid with cumin, which was amazing! It's quite a sight to behold as it comes skewered and covered in bountiful spicy chili sauce. I thought the squid was quite tender and well-cooked, and the spicy topping had a tiny bit of sweetness in addition the bold spicy and savory flavors. Surprisingly, though the three dishes that we ordered looked like they would taste pretty similar, they all had unique flavors that I enjoyed switching between. It's clear they know how to work with spice. We also tried two vegetable dishes. The eggplant with soy sauce and bonito flakes had more of a Japanese flavor profile but the eggplant was perfectly cooked and tender and the flavors were delicious. The garlic pea leaves were well-cooked and had good flavor. I would say neither of these dishes were outstanding but they were solid and served their purpose. We also got the shrimp egg rolls which I wouldn't say were very special. They were small bites with good texture but I didn't taste much shrimp. We also got the sticky rice dessert which was fried bars of sticky rice with sweet syrup and soybean powder. This was quite good though I didn't love the syrup. Also, their rice is really good! It seemed like some sort of sweet/sticky rice but the individual grains didn't stick together so it wasn't glutinous. The rice was a bit al dente and went perfectly with the food. Normally I don't like rice that much but this rice made me want to keep eating more. Overall I was definitely the most impressed by all of the spicy options and can't wait to try more of their menu. Our server was really nice and gave very helpful recommendations. Honestly this is the best Szechuan food I've had in Boston by far and I can't wait to come back. Though Brookline is a bit of a trek for me, it's closer than New York. Everything at Noah's Kitchen is well thought-out. The ambiance and servers are great and the food is excellent. I absolutely can't wait for my next visit!

Della S.

Yelp
The staff here are very proud of their food and rightfully so-- I only tried a couple dishes my first time here but the food was super impressive and I can't wait until I come back! We got the braised pork belly with preserved mustard green ($13.99) and the Szechuan style beef in spicy broth ($20.99). Most of the dishes are in the $15-45 range depending on what you order, but the portions are quite big. The above two dishes plus a bowl of rice ($2) each was more than enough to fill two of us, and we ended up with leftovers to take home. I had a bad experience ordering braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens from a different restaurant in Boston so I was hoping that Noah's Kitchen would redeem the dish for me. I was super impressed with how they prepared it! The braised pork is super flavorful-- the soy braise soaks into the meat so that every bite is packed with umami. This dish is a good choice for those who like fatty cuts like pork belly, because it comes with so much fat! The fatty layer at the top of the meat melts in your mouth. The mustard greens had a similar soy braise but added a refreshing crunch to the bite of meat. For 5 juicy pieces of meat, I feel that $13.99 is a great price for the quality that you pay for. Sometimes Szechuan style beef in spicy broth is too greasy and salty, but the one served at Noah's Kitchen is the best preparation I've encountered in the Boston area so far. The bowl is PACKED with tender pieces of beef soaking in the spicy, savory broth. The broth is just salty enough to add flavor without being too overwhelming. There is also cabbage, celery, and pieces of scallions in the dish. This was so delicious with rice! I highly recommend getting rice with these dishes. They are not too salty on their own but you definitely want some rice to soak up all the delicious sauces! Also, the rice comes with yummy furikake on top. The rice bowls here are on the smaller side so I would recommend getting one bowl per person. I left feeling full but not "heavy." The server even gave me recommendations for cooking tofu with the leftover beef broth that I was taking home! I had such a great experience here. I highly recommend this spot!

Nice flavor and really friendly service. However, I think it's slightly overpriced They have a unique cocktail menu too that I want to come back and explore My favorite was the shrimp

Joyce K.

Yelp
A lovely ambience and fiery, authentic Sichuan food! We shared a bunch of plates family style and everything was amazingly done. The menu is quite extensive and I regrettably don't remember the exact names of the dishes we ordered, but some highlights included cold noodles (there was a chicken version and pork version, both of which had an amazing sauce), the ma po tofu, stir-fry beef with pepper bowl, and the chicken with cucumbers. We also got a pitcher of plum juice to share, which was unique and refreshing. We also got the crispy shrimp and sautéed long beans with eggplant, but I was less a fan of those (the beans and eggplant dish was a little too soupy in texture for me). The service was great and the dishes came out super fast, and the ambience was clean and sleek (reminded me of some modern, trendy restaurants I've been to in Shanghai).

Karen I.

Yelp
I went here with some friends recently and I LOVED all the dishes they had. It was pretty busy so we had to wait to get seated but well worth the wait if you're looking for some spicy Chinese food. It was a very clean restaurant, with good ambience and lighting. Some dishes I really liked were the Chinese French fries, fish soup, egg plant dish. I think some of the dishes are very spicy but you can ask for different spiciness levels for some of the dishes. The mochi ice cream in black sesame soup dessert was a miss though. The mochi had a texture of very old mochi that was left in the freezer for a very long time. I wouldn't recommend the desserts but definitely go for the entrees! I will be coming back to try their lunch menus and to try their other dishes again for sure :) really enjoyed the food here.

So yum! I'm from Bay Area where has lots of good Asian food but this place is so good. Especially the duck blood is better than any Chinese restaurant in Bay Area, super soft and no weird bloody taste! All the dishes we ordered are good. The vibes, plates and bowls are clean not like traditional Chinese restaurants! Highly recommend this place!

Noah's is better than average for Sichuan Chinese food. We decided to grab takeout there after not being able to get food from Blossom Bar. We ordered the Dan Dan noodles, fried pork dumplings, eggplant and long beans, and kung pao chicken. The Dan Dan noodles were our favorite. The ground pork, garlic, and Sichuan pepper was well flavored and the noodles were nice and chewy. The eggplant and long beans were also a great veggie side. When I went to pickup the food on Saturday night, it wasn't too busy so there shouldn't be any issue with getting a table. They have a handful of tables outside for dining as well.

Food came quick, but the taste and flavor are lacking. For the price you pay, you can get way better food somewhere else. The waitress is impatient and rude. Extremely overpriced with mediocre food and rude service. The waitress asked me where am I from after getting mad about tipping. Outrageous, where I am from is none of your business.

Angela S.

Yelp
Came for the spicy food, stayed for the tea. The spice level on some of the dishes like the beef noodle soup and the mapo tofu was less than what I anticipated. But the Mongolian sizzling beef was almost too spicy for me. The overall quality is good and the service was nice, albeit a little slow as they seemed understaffed in the pandemic. Their current hours say closes at 9pm, but they let patrons stay past 10pm with no apparent rush. I would come back for a nice dinner in a nicely designed space with the best tea I've ever had from a Chinese restaurant in Boston. Their tea comes in beautiful cast iron pots that I have definitely contemplated getting for myself. The menu is huge and the appetizer sizes are more akin to full dishes. Definitely could be enough just getting a few appetizers for a smaller party.

Yelp
Though you might not have guessed it from the name, this place is in fact pretty authentic!! I was expecting a fusion-y, overpriced Chinese restaurant (also considering that this is in central Brookline), but it's actually run and operated by Chinese people! Everything on the menu is GOOD. My favorites are the crispy fish (yu xiang yu pian), the spicy Tibetan beef, volcano ribs (huo xiang pai gu), and eggplant. They seem to rotate out menu items every once in a while. They also have really good cocktails. Pricewise, Noah's Kitchen is more expensive than your average Chinese restaurant. Most main dishes are priced around $30. It's money well-spent though IMO -- well-made, authentic Chinese food SHOULD be respectfully priced. Noah's Kitchen is pretty strict with their reservations, so make sure you are on time -- they will give your spot away to a walk-in reservation. They limit you to 1.5 hours, but I don't think that's strictly enforced. The ambiance inside is lively!

Very nice restaurant. The food was absolutely awesome and the service was overall good. The only downside was that they only allowed us 1 hour 40 minutes to eat (with a party of 10). We ate in a hurry, compromising the fun of eating here... I hope they could relax the length of time. We didn't get throw out (because our friend had a birthday party so we ran late for about 20 minutes). They ended up putting a large table for the next group of people. But still, if they could let us eat for a longer period of time it would be more fun. I won't say it's necessarily the restaurant's fault - they did inform us that we had to leave at 7:45ish however it's not a very nice policy... Anyways, good food. Just don't go during the weekend.

I order food from Noah's through Uber Eats and was happy with the dishes. I got the Sichuan style chicken, beef pancake and spicy sichuan noodle. The food were well packaged in container and still tasted good (the chicken was still crispy) even it got here in about an hour after it left the restaurants. Highly recommend!

Delicious and authentic Szechuan food in a great neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed the noodles, steamed fish, and more! The place has a nice vibe too with very thoughtful service who are are obviously take pride on their work. Lots of different choices on the menu!

OOooOoOo okayyyy Noahs Kitchen popped off. I really enjoyed trying three dishes and all of them were really good. Even though the eggplant was cooked using vinegar (which I'm not used to), I warmed up to it pretty quick because really, the flavor is there and its TASTY. we also got three bowls of rice :)) Totally would go again even though the first time I went, it seemed like ppl had reserved tables and were not there yet? Ended up not going/giving up on the wait for an outside table in 90°+ weather.

Hands down one of the best Szechuan restaurants in Boston. Definitely call for a reservation beforehand, because the restaurant is always packed with young international students who are harboring this well-kept secret. Szechuan food is my favorite cuisine, and I always judge a Szechuan restaurant by its ma po tofu. Noah's Kitchen serves it with the perfect level of spice, while maintaining the integrity of the black beans that are integral to the dish. We also love the pork belly with mustard greens, and the Tibetan-style sizzling beef which is served with the fluffiest naan. Every dish at Noah's Kitchen is clearly made with so much love and authenticity. Everything from the music to the dinnerware to the service contributes to the fantastic experience. Do not sleep on this unassuming gem in Brookline! I've taken my parents here and we all agree that this is where I'll have my graduation dinner in May :)

I love this place. Have been multiple times and always have a lot of fun. The service is incredible- sometimes they give free drinks! The food is a little pricy but always tasty. Highly recommend

Most authentic Sichuan food in Boston, and I'm from Chengdu. A lot of Sichuan places in the US overdo it with only 麻辣 (mala) but Noah's Kitchen blends the 麻辣 with other flavors to create a 香辣 flavor. Food was fast and good portions. Unfortunately didn't get many photos because our group attacked the food as soon as it was set on the table. Taking a star off for service while taking our order as well as when paying the bill. We asked for the bill 3 times before receiving it.

Bad service, the manager of restaurant had attitude. She is rude and not friendly at all. She is refusing to answer any questions of the food. Long waiting time and food is sucks.

Ambience, food and service were great here. Nicely decorated and server pays great attention to you while eating. Food is authentically sichuan and has a nice kick to the food. We had the Sichuan spicy chicken, tofu and sizzling shrimp over crispy rice. Everything was great, and they have a great wine and sake collection to taste as well

The restaurant's interior is very nice. The foods quality however is unfortunately not as good as it could be comparing other Chinese restaurant in the area. Everything looked good but the taste was not quite hitting the spot. The spare ribs were overcooked and dry. The soup was good but the one we wanted to order that day ran out by the time we got there. The spicy whole fish was very fresh and probably was my favorite dish there. Wait staff are very nice. Maybe I will give it a try again in a few months.

Ordered takeout on an early Friday evening. Dishes lacked the heat and spice you'd expect from Szchuan cuisine. Meats used also did not taste fresh. Their spicy beef noodle soup was overly oily (half of the soup container was oil) and beef chunks were dry and flavorless. Spicy peppercorn chicken was more like dry karaage. Sliced beef and tripe looked more like pastrami in broth. Ordered 2 appetizers and 3 entree for $70+. Taste and quality all lacking for this price. Would not recommend.
