Beef teriyaki absolutely disgusting! To say the least!

Went out to get some apps and a drink and the beef teriyaki had long nasty tendons throughout the beef, I asked for my money back and they said no way. You ate most of it . ... R u kidding me??? Bar tender said I was just looking for my money back.... Seriously

Buffet back Today 5/11/23

Buffet back today. New Authentic Sichuan items. Fresh Sushi. Desert. New Bar display. Wisky. Bourbon. Vodka. Great smile all around in building.

Front desk... Owner waiting for business. It was dead, why was it dead, maybe it's Tuesday

Ordering online is a challenge, service they use is terrible Arrived at restaurant and spoke with owner. Didn't like I was complaining about service. I still ordered, owner didn't know the menu, you're the owner I assume you know your menu. Asked to alter one dish, said no, I asked if she can ask chef. No problem. Just terrible experience, the food wasn't that great. Would i return, probably not. You can get better sushi in Malden Ma.

I ordered the basil chicken and shrimp basil fried rice, and unfortunately, both dishes were disappointingly bland. The basil was barely noticeable, and the rice and chicken lacked the aromatic spices, savory depth, and balance of Thai flavors I would expect from these dishes. Admittedly, I probably should have gone to a Thai restaurant, where basil-forward dishes are more likely to showcase what makes them so distinctive--the fragrance of fresh basil, layers of seasoning, and sauces that bring everything together. What I find disappointing is when Asian dishes are watered down to the point that they lose the character of the cuisine that inspired them. One of the great pleasures of Asian cuisine is its incredible diversity and depth of flavor--the herbs, spices, sauces, aromas, and traditions that give each cuisine its own identity and, most importantly, its taste of home. Unfortunately, these dishes simply didn't deliver that experience, nor peppercorn!

Most of the time we try the AYCE menu for the 2nd premium tier. Some of the favorites we like to order are the Harami skirt steak, shrimp & mushroom ahijo. The addicting cucumber is also super tasty and the spicy sauce I use with the other meats too. We've also tried à la carte to try the Wagyu specials. We could tell the distinct difference in the quality of the meats. The texture and mouthwatering taste. We've never had an issue with the service. For AYCE they might bring your orders in waves. Also don't be afraid to flag down your server to change out your grills. I've also started taking advantage of the app offers which definitely helps since eating here can add up. I've been able to redeem for the $25/25% off as well as the birthday $15/15% off. 4.5/5 - Given the place gets super busy I have noticed that it has not been the cleanest between patrons of the sticky sauce containers and left over wrappers at the tables which can detract from the ambiance.

As a vegetarian, I was especially impressed by their dedicated vegetarian menu. The food tasted genuinely vegetarian--absolutely no hint or aftertaste of fish sauce, oyster sauce, or egg, which can sometimes be a concern at Asian restaurants. Everything we ordered was incredibly flavorful and delicious. And the **chili crisp oil with those crunchy chili crisps**--WOW! Hands down, the best I have ever had. I could not get enough of it! Two people in our group were non-vegetarian and absolutely loved their seafood, and the Mai Tais were a big hit too. It's rare to find a restaurant where both vegetarians and non-vegetarians can be equally excited about the food. Superb vegetarian food, delicious seafood, fantastic drinks, and that unforgettable chili crisp! We had such a wonderful evening and will absolutely be back. Highly recommended--especially to fellow vegetarians looking for genuinely delicious Thai food!

We came to Sichuan Gourmet for dinner and ordered a bunch of dishes to share family-style. The pro…read moreis the the decor and atmosphere is better than most mom and pop chinese spots but honestly the food was just ok. Some of the dishes we got were kung pao chicken, stir fried cauliflower, string beans, mustard green pork belly and sichuan fish fillet. We typically don't eat much spicy food so got everything mild and while the flavors were ok, I thought the fish was too mushy and the pork belly was kind of bland. Everything felt too covered in oil without the punch of flavor the dishes needed. In addition, while the service was fine, the waitress/waiters were quite loud clanking dishes and opening and closing drawers that it disturbed our meal. It's one thing to be in a bustling restaurant but there weren't that many people so the noise was a bit bothersome and really stood out. Overallt not that bad but I'd skip as I've been to better sichuan restaurants in the Boston area.

I ordered the luncheon special which comes with choice of white rice or pork fried rice and choice…read moreof an egg roll or crab Rangoon. Crab Rangoon was sweet. I wish the cashew chicken didn't have celery. If you dine in you have a choice of soup ( egg drop or hot/sour soup). I asked for no celery over the phone but they added celery still. Portion size is small compared to rice and had the same with bigger portion and more flavor at the Framingham location I've had the lunch special and other dishes at the Framingham location and prefer Framingham over this location. Service was quick and not a bad deal for $14 after tax. It is busy in there and if you aren't a spice fan make sure to ask for modifications. The cashew chicken is not spicy.
