We ordered the General Tso chicken combination plate with beef teriyaki skewers and the Beef and broccoli combinations plate with boneless short ribs . Both plates came with large portions and were warm. The proteins in each meal were chewy and didn't taste all too fresh. The broccoli that was provided was came cooked but hard...

Recommended by my friend, this pan-fried bun生煎 place isn't far from MFA Boston. The little place is…read moreincredibly popular and well-known among Boston's Chinese student community. Shanghai Classic Pork Pan-Fried Buns上海生煎饅頭: I was instantly hooked! It's hard to imagine finding such good pan-fried buns in the US. Almost every table ordered them, so they were all freshly made, piping hot. The bun was made with unleavened dough, making it chewy and refreshing, with a light, crispy bottom--not oily or hard. The meat filling was substantial and tender, with plenty of broth (see picture). It was sweeter than salty, incredibly umami. The chili oil was also very fragrant, and dipping it in Zhenjiang vinegar enhanced the flavor and cut through the greasiness. Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetable Noodle Soup雪菜肉絲麵: The noodles were thin and round, with a soft, mushy texture. While the noodles were clearly machine-made, this isn't a problem in the Yangtze River Delta region; the issue was likely overcooking. The shredded pork were well-stirred, with tender meat, but the noodles lacked flavor. They had to be eaten with the pickled mustard greens雪菜 to be slightly salty, and the umami flavor was severely diluted. The tableware is all disposable, and tipping is not mandatory. It's quite affordable.

They come out piping hot and fresh, and can kind of be hazardous if you bite into them too quickly and cause the soup to spurt out. I don't think I've had better ones in the states! In fact, even in Shanghai, it's kind of hard to find good ones sometimes (at least ones that serve them all day and not just for breakfast). It's more of a takeout place as it's rather small, but the interior is clean and bright.

This wasn't too sweet! ~$30/head after tax and gratuity for lunch.

Walking to the St. Mary's St station to wait for the train, I looked up and saw Li Yin Rice Roll…read moreacross the street! I instantly teleported to the shop to show my support. Both Cantonese and Mandarin were seamlessly spoken. Shrimp Rice Roll / Egg: It looked very appealing. However, the soy sauce was ridiculously sweet, much sweeter than in China, completely exceeding the standard "umami and sweet" of the authentic Cantonese cheung fun腸粉 (rice roll) soy sauce. The cheung fun skin was somehow overcooked, so some parts without egg at the bottom were soggy from soaking in the soy sauce, making the whole roll quite greasy. I have to admire my culinary acumen: I managed to preserve most of the skin's basic texture with the extra egg. Fortunately, the shrimp were fresh enough, six in a serving, with a crispy texture. Oh well, since I'm in America, it's tolerable. I must say, I would never have come here specifically for this, never in my life. Spending $10+ on a plate of cheung fun after traveling so far, will make me feel more like a sucker than ever before!

We walked into a contemporary interior with a lively but comfortable atmosphere that felt more upscale than a typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. The room had a refined, energetic feel with a layout that accommodated both small groups and larger parties comfortably, and the menu included a wide variety of dishes with the focus clearly on traditional Sichuan specialties alongside a selection of milder options for those who preferred less heat. The Sichuan dishes are the biggest reason to visit. We ordered a few items and found favorites like the fish in spicy broth, mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, and twice-cooked pork showcasing the signature flavors of the region, combining chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to create a balance of heat and numbing spice that came through clearly in each dish. The fish was tender and the broth carried a deep, layered heat, while the mapo tofu had a rich, savory depth with the characteristic numbing kick. We also appreciated that the menu offered a variety of vegetable dishes, with the sautéed cauliflower and sizzling eggplant standing out as flavorful options that complemented the richer entrées. The portions were generous enough to share, making it easy to order several dishes for the table and experience a wider range of flavors. Although the restaurant is known for its spicy food, there were plenty of choices for those who preferred something milder, with dishes like Kung Pao chicken, crispy shrimp, and a selection of rice and noodle dishes providing variety without requiring an extremely high spice tolerance. The dessert menu also offered a nice finish to the meal, with options like brown sugar rice cakes adding a sweeter contrast after the bold flavors of the main courses. The service was one of the highlights of the experience. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and quick to answer questions about the menu or recommend dishes based on spice preferences. Because of the restaurant's popularity, it could get quite busy during dinner and weekends, so making a reservation ahead of time is a good idea if you want to avoid a wait. The team moved through the room with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal kept the experience smooth without feeling rushed. Overall, Noah's Kitchen is a great destination for anyone looking for authentic Sichuan-inspired cuisine in a modern setting. The extensive menu, flavorful dishes, and attentive service make it an easy place to recommend for both group dinners and special occasions. Whether we enjoy spicy food or simply want to explore regional Chinese cuisine beyond the usual takeout favorites, it is a restaurant that offers plenty of reasons to come back and try something new.

Limited street parking out front, but there are more street metered parking on the side street (next to the green line). The restaurant is much smaller than the Weymouth location, and the menu selection is also different. The server asked me to scan the QR code on the table for the menu, so I'm not sure if they have a paper menu. You can place the order directly via the QR code. I requested one dish to be non-spicy, and they were able to accommodate that. The only thing was that both dishes were a little bit too salty than my liking. I came here during a weekday lunch, and it wasn't super busy. I would return again.
