    Stir-Fry Chicken with Garlic & Black Bean Sauce
    Apex S.

    The food was good. We got two dishes: Stir-Fry Chicken with Garlic & Black Bean Sauce and the Grilled Sea Bass in a Fiery Broth. We asked the fiery broth to be mild and they obliged, phew. The sea bass was fresh and the broth was very flavorful. The chicken was crispy and the fermented black bean gave it that extra umami taste. Both dishes were really good. We also ordered a side of rice which helped temper the saltiness of the two dishes. Service was great other than the part when we first walked in. We were just told "30 mins" with no other explanation. Then when we were just standing there (and there isn't a heated waiting area), we were told to leave and come back in 30 mins for a table which we did. I'm pretty sure by the time we returned someone else had been given a table before us! But we at least got a table after 30 mins. All this to say, you may have to wait on a weekend afternoon for lunch.

    I was visiting from nyc and was surprise about how good the food was! We ordered: -Australian cumin lamb -boiled whole fish -garlic pea leaves -sizzling eggplant with bonito flakes Everything was so so good and tasty. The menu is also very extensive with lots of choices under each category. So whether you're craving vegetables, seafood, or meat, they got you covered. Service was quick and food comes out fast too.

    Wow don't know how we had just recently tried this spot. Owner is great, servers are all nice and quick. Our food came out quickly, super hot and cooked perfectly. My favorite dish was the sweet and sour fish fillet. Perfectly light and crispy, sauce is so good. Slap that on some white rice and I'm good for the entire day! Eggplant was soft and cooked perfectly! The lady enjoyed her veggie haha (not my jam) The beef dish was a lighter dish, no heavy sauces or over saturation of anything other than clean flavor. Not spicy, felt like something your friends folks would chef up. Have been back a couple times already! And need more of that fish soon

    Traditional Kung Pao Chicken
    Iris L.

    TLDR: Authentic Szechuan style food with a well-earned following. Some dishes are more worth it than others. I'll preface by saying I walked in sans reservation as a party of two on a busy night and they only had outdoor seating. We sat down before sundown but the sun quickly set and it was super chilly. One of the waitresses was kind and offered to bring us some hot water in a tea kettle to warm us up. As for food, I think the vegetarian and chicken dishes are priced pretty reasonably here. I think the fish and pork dish average is more expensive than what I'm used to seeing at a Szechuan style place. It could be that there's a lot more labor or more cult following of certain dishes, but I adjusted the dishes I got accordingly. - Mapo tofu: yummy silky tofu and appropriately spiced. Emphasis on the latter. A good portion! - Kung pao chicken: surprisingly my favorite dish. I usually am not astounded by chicken but this was perfectly savory with a hit of sweetness and spice. The portion size on this was also generous. - Dan Dan noodles: these were good but not outstanding I think. It's a bit of an overwhelming amount of the same taste but I think that's true of the dish and not the restaurant specifically. I'd order this if you had a bigger party and could split it more but for two people it might be too hefty.

    Was a regular here for over two years. Recently, have been frustrated with the lack of common sense and/or organization by the management--whenever we call to ask for seats, they're never seem to be able to come up with even a common estimate -- told us that we have to come in to figure that out. When coming in, we're still subjected to waiting with them not knowing an estimate. Common sense can go a long way. Different point. Also, whenever you arrive before their cut off time, it is obvious they are upset and have to look at the watch to ascertain whether they would take you or not--perhaps a clear protocol on their part can go a long way and not make customers feel unwelcome. Never again.

    Fish Fillet with House Fermented Mustard Green
    Lizzie Y.

    If you like Sichuan-style Chinese food, Noah's Kitchen is worth the visit! OMG, simply just delicious! I go to Brookline a little too often but I can't help it because most of the restaurants in this area tend to be an absolute hit. The food here is too good. They have been on my list to try for a while now and I'm so glad we decided to come here for dinner. We arrived without making any reservations before hand & the wait for two people was ~5 minutes, not bad at all. It seems like the wait is never too long for most parties because the staff is very efficient! Here is what we ordered: -Fish Filet with House Fermented Mustard Green -Sweet & Sour Fish Filet -Sweet & Sour Eggplant Strip Casserole -2 white rice We honestly wanted to order more lol but glad our server stopped us from more dishes because the portions were actually HUGE! The sweet & sour fish was our favorite. Usually I'm not a fried food person but this was lightly fried and fish was cooked perfectly. We were able to finish this dish and took the rest home for leftovers. I also liked that for the rice, they added some furikake to it! A little different from the usual plain white rice ;) Overall, very good meal & will for sure be back soon!! And if you aren't a spicy food lover, they have plenty of options on their menu that aren't spicy ;) Great spot for family dinners & to bring kids!

    It's a really good restaurant and they have everything figured out well. You can tell because there is generally a line and filled with chatter in mandarin. The menu has a wide range of taste: spicy, sour, and sometimes bland (in a good way) to balance the meal out. Very extensive menu with a wide range of food. It also has such a great drink & cocktail program. The waitstaff is very attentive despite it being really busy. The signature Dan Dan noodles & Fish filet w/ house fermented muster greens is some of our favorite dishes tonight. Get some cocktails with your food because you might want something to drink it down with.

    Chicken w green chilies (my friend was convinced this was pork and not chicken)
    Tulan K.

    I am rating this 4 stars because of the prices are on higher side and the use of oil. The lunch menu is same as dinner and hence doesnt justify the high prices but i still go there once a week. It is a sichuan cuisine place and very nice interior. The service and food are both good. I have had Ma Po Tofu, cabbage casserole, Cauliflower casserole, ginger chicken, chicken sauteed with green chilies, fish in spicy broth and few other items and all of them have been good . I have always mostly gone for lunch and cannot say anything about dinner service. One other reason for one less star is they do put way too much oil in their than necessary even by sichuan standard. This makes it not only unhealthy to eat but takes away from the good flavors. Even after insisting while ordering it sort of fall on deaf ears as they will still just put that much oil If they limit use of the oil to standard qty it would be great fun to enjoy it without too much worry of it being so unhealthy.

    Chili Oil Grass Fish Fillet
    Kevin W.

    Flavor for the chili oil fish and the special beef dish bold, balanced, and tasted pretty traditional. However, we tried the grass fish which I was personally not a fan of; get the regular fish if you prefer the soft texture of fish rather than a chewy texture between fish and squid. While the food was good and offered a wide selection of variety, you could probably find similar quality restaurants at a slightly lower price

    Rice

    This place is conveniently located near Brookline Village T stop. It's a good place for spicy food and waiters were pretty nice, didn't have any issues walking in the day after Valentine's Day. My favorite was the fish filet with mustard greens, twice cooked pork, and cauliflower. The Dan Dan noodles was also pretty yummy though it's not the traditional kind and is more soupy.

    The restaurant was smaller than I had imagined but we were seated at a table that was had enough room for our dishes. My friends did most of the ordering so I cannot remember everything we ordered but we had dumplings, cumin lamb, mapo tofu, stir fried beef with pepper and celery, shrimp ball with crispy rice, fish fillet, and cauliflower. We enjoyed all the dishes. The shrimp ball was a little heavy on the sauce, but paired well with the rice cakes. Portions were generous.

    This was my first time trying Noah's Kitchen on the recommendation of a good friend and I was very pleased with the food and service. The menu is actually quite large, and there were many tasty options to choose from. I usually think if the menu is large, the quality of the food may not be consistently good, but all of the dishes here were great. I personally recommend the eggplant and green beans, tomato dish soup, pork shoulder and fried gluten (you should try it, it's better than it sounds and tastes like meat/tofu!). The service was also good, Rachel was very personable and gave us great food recommendations because she doesn't like spicy. The ambiance was cozy, and the decorations and menus are so cute! I think we came at a good time as well, a late lunch on a weekday, so we had a great experience with timing and parking. The food came out VERY quick, like it felt like less than 5 minutes. Overall we had a lovely time at Noah's, would definitely come back. There was plenty of parking, and leftovers to take home as well.

The portions were also fairly large, which was a big reason I rated it so highly. The dan dan noodles were really flavorful, and the pork was . Easily one of my favorite dishes. The beef with green peppers had the perfect spice level. The beef was tender and well-seasoned, the peppers were cooked nicely, and the two flavors complemented each other really well. You also can't go wrong with the stir-fried green beans and eggplant. Both were cooked and seasoned well, and this was another favorite. The small Szechuan dry pot was pretty good too. We chose beef, lotus root, cabbage, and cauliflower. It wasn't overly oily, and I really liked all the vegetables. The beef was just okay, but we had already ordered beef in another dish, so we probably should've chosen a different meat for more variety. Overall, the food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the prices felt very reasonable. Definitely a solid option for sharing a bunch of dishes with a group.

    B2J Tasty Pot is so good, I ended up coming here two nights in a row for dinner!…read more My first visit here, we ordered a combo for 2. This comes with a small pot with 1 lb of your choice of broth & protein (fish, beef, or both), 2 add-ons to your pot, 2 appetizer sides, and 2 bowls of rice. We did: - fish and beef with signature spicy sour broth (mild spicy) - 2 add ons: bean curd sticks + spam - 2 sides: spiced chicken w/ chili sauce & house made fried milk custard The combos are such a good deal! If you order a small pot of fish & beef on its own, it's $39.99. For $26 more, you get 2 add ons, 2 sides, & 2 bowls of rice. BUT I guess if you're not too hungry, you could totally get away with ordering just the pot! We typically order appetizer dishes whenever we go out to eat & had planned to get some sides anyways, so the combo deal worked in our favor. With that being said, i think next time we come, we could totally do the small pot with 1 side = $50. Honestly, it did end up being way more food than we could finish & we had leftovers to take back with us. For my second visit, we were a party of 5 and decided to get the combo for 3! This includes a medium pot (1.5lb protein of choice), 3 add-ons, and 3 side dishes. This was the perfect amount of food for us. I think if we had done the combo for 4, it would've been way too much. I'd say, the combos are great but totally not necessary. Only go for it if you actually see some appetizers & add-ons you'd like. The spiced chicken is my favorite side/appetizer! It is served cold & is decently spicy. Both visits, I opted for the same broth & protein: fish + beef. Fish & beef were cooked perfectly. I liked that the beef was soft & not hard to chew. The mild spicy broth is spicy but not too spicy where you'd need to take a break in between or need a beverage. I liked that the spice did not take away from the flavor. Service was great! The staff that helped us were all super kind and helpful. Well air conditioned & we found the restaurant to be very clean. Would totally come back again.

Even though it's called a "small pot," it could have easily fed three people. For our hot pot, we chose wide starch noodles, pork meatballs, and a half fish, half beef combination. The pork meatballs were just okay. Since I can't handle Sichuan spice, we went with the tomato broth. If you're able to tolerate spicy food, I'd recommend trying the Sichuan broth since that's what they specialize in. The tomato broth was a bit underwhelming and reminded me of American-style tomato soup. We also ordered the crispy fried pork belly and takoyaki. The crispy pork belly was definitely the standout--I highly recommend it! It came with a flavorful dry spice seasoning for dipping that made it even better. Overall, the portions are generous, and you'll definitely leave with a full belly!

In fact, ever since the other Chinese spot changed ownership, I entirely switched to eating here whenever I want a quick sit down Chinese meal. The food is good. It comes out pretty fast. It's done pretty well. And the best part, it just doesn't remotely hurt the wallet. Even being a regular, I'm still amused at how the service is so stereotypical Chinese in the way that I'm just another soul coming in to be fed and not remembered or acknowledged. Mind you, I'm here a LOT and am usually the only one sitting there eating while delivery people repeatedly come and go. Anyways, two reasons why I'm unable to give them 5 stars. First, the tap water they serve...tastes like @#$%. I don't know what it is but I've actually started bringing my own water bottle (or just ordered a soda). Two, the steamed rice is inconsistent. Half the time, it's perfect. The other half...is wet and mushy (I want to say a reheat but isn't that just such a faux pax in Chinese cuisine?). Nonetheless, this is one of the few four and less starred places on my list that I will still continue to frequent and recommend to anyone in the area wanting a quick and decent meal for cheap!

Our favorites were the eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, with the chengdu dry hot chicken and the string beans. The braised beef with Napa cabbage and mapo tofu were also delicious. Ambience 3/5: super loud. It wasn't even the music, it was that people's conversations were bouncing off the walls in a small space such that it was not possible to hear the other people in my group except who I was sitting next to. I saw several dates there and hopefully they could hear each other ok. Drinks: 2/5 overpriced and disappointing. My Negroni was ok but my husband's Manhattan tasted watery like it had been shaken instead of stirred and the melon highball tastes medicine-y. Overall a good experience because we were hungry and the food was amazing. We made up for not hearing each other well by taking an evening stroll and talking as we walked.
