I order the spicy dumplings every time, they are phenomenal! Chicken with cashew nut is always a good dish, and don't forget to try the pickled vegetables! I've been here a handful of times and each visit has been enjoyable with fresh, delicious food. Today was lunchtime on a Saturday, the dining room was decently full but it did not sound very loud. The space is large enough for the sound to disperse a bit. read more

This restaurant is on the route 9 highway so perfect for people who drive the route everyday! Especially from the Boston to Framingham route! Online order goes so quickly without any issues. Food will be ready by that time when you pickup. I tend to order Lo Mein with Pork General Tso's Chicken or sesame chicken Crab Rangoon Egg drop soup They are yummy and my favorite! Parking is available anytime read more

Stopped in to try the Dry chicken in chili sauce as I saw a review recommended dry chicken in chili sauce . It was just ok, and should have ordered the lunch special chicken asparagus in Cheng du sauce. 2.60 add on for white rice was a bit much. Was end of lunch time and staff was eating their lunch and loud argument taking place ... very distracting and annoying? I had to get up and leave to listen in on conference call quietly... noise too loud. read more

I ordered dan dan noodles to go and it was basically noodles with a miniscule topping of veggies and meat. There should be more veggie / meat mix. pickled veggies were just broccoli pieces and carrots in hot sauce. For $10??? Not the best value, in my view. read more

Absolutely love this place -- it's become our go-to spot to celebrate big wins as a family. There's something so homey and comforting about the vibe, and the food is consistently amazing. The scallion pancakes are hands-down the best we've had -- crispy, chewy, and full of flavor. The Mapo Tofu is rich, spicy, and perfectly numbing in that classic Sichuan way. The napa cabbage is deceptively simple but so well-cooked and flavorful -- the kind of dish you keep reaching for without realizing. It's a local gem that always feels warm and welcoming, and it holds a special place in our hearts (and stomachs). If you're in the area, this is the kind of spot you keep coming back to -- we certainly do. read more

Sichuan Gourmet - Szechuan Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

TLDR: Maybe one of the better Chinese restaurants in the MA suburbs but definitely not up to par with the Chinese food you can find in NYC or SF. Only dishes I'd order again were the 1) Steamed bacon, 2) Shredded beef with hot green pepper, and 3) Roast Beef Sichuan specialty dish. Restaurant ambiance wasn't bad and service was efficient. Pretty packed on a Sunday night so would make a reservation even if they tell you that there's no need! ------ FOOD: 1. Steamed Bacon with Fresh Garlic Spicy Sauce (5/5): Really delicately fatty and flavorful. Credit where credit is due - this was one of the best things I ate on my recent trip to Boston. 2. Shredded Beef with Hot Green Pepper (4.5/5): Again, addictingly fatty shreds of beef with a delicious sauce that coated each piece of meat beautifully. Beware, the hot green peppers in this are very spicy, even more than I expected. 3. Roast Beef, Tendon & Tripe with Chili Sauce (4/5): A classic Sichuan specialty dish, this was pretty good here! Not life changing but at least standard. 4. Pea Shoots with Garlic (3.5/5): Standard. Pretty big portion so that's good, but a little limp and not quite as flavorful as it could be. 5. Sichuan Wontons with Spicy Chili Sauce (2.5/5): Very thick skin with minimal meat, much more like a dumpling than a wonton. The authentic Sichuan chili sauce is supposed to have a beautiful red color -- this kind of just looked like soy sauce. 6. Stir Fried Pork Kidney with Vegetables (2/5): Not for me but maybe it's better for those who love this kind of dish. Regardless, I didn't feel like the sauce had much flavor at all. 7. Hot and Sour Soup (0/5): Unfortunately the biggest let down of the night. This didn't taste right at all. Much too sour and generally had a funky taste. This soup is so quintessential so I'd highly recommend the restaurant revisit the recipe for this dish! A portion of rice here is a huge bowl that could probably serve 3-5 people. Average rice quality. ------ AMBIANCE / ENVIRONMENT: * Restaurant is located on the second floor of a building complex. There are both stairs and an elevator you can take. Plenty of parking in the lot in front of the complex. * Inside there is a large dining area with lots of tables for large groups or small groups / couples. There's also a bar with seats there. * Classic, minimal Chinese restaurant decorations adorning the walls and paper Zodiac placemats from the 2010s at the tables * Not too loud and didn't feel too crowded inside, even when the restaurant was full ------ SERVICE: * Average Chinese restaurant service but at least they're very responsive over the phone if you need to call in for anything read more

First time eating food from this restaurant. Ordered wonton soup, fried rice, etc. All food was excellent. Delivery arrived sooner than expected. Very nice Xmas Eve dinner at home with my gf partner and our dog. Share beef teriyaki, pork strips, and chicken fingers with our doggie. All 3 of us loved the food. The Wonton soup was outstanding. I suffer from chronic respiratory problems and soup was not only delicious but cleared my sinuses. The soup alone is worth a revisit. read more

Not the place we once knew! In years past, Sichuan Gourmet's food was exemplary; one of the best most authentic regional cuisine Chinese restaurants that we've dined in. Food quality has slipped noticeably; we, also, observed that service is a wee bit disorganized these days, quite unlike any of our previous visits. It is very unfortunate for me to have to say that we would not be in any hurry to return to Sichuan Gourmet any time soon. read more

Food was bad and restaurant was in rough shape. I had never been and was told this was a place to try, I think I missed my window.

Best Sichuan I've ever tasted. The drinks are well priced. The food is authentic. The vibe is welcoming. The staff is friendly. The seating is comfy. This place is a definition of 10/10. read more

Terrible food quality delivered tonight via DoorDash . The crab Rangoons were all burnt and barely filled and the Peking ravioli seemed not fully cooked. Pretty upset to have spent 60 dollars for terrible food. read more

I've come here several times now for weekday lunch, and although the service is always fast and the portions always plentiful, the food has been somewhat inconsistent. Chicken and Asparagus with Chengdu Special Sauce - I recommend this dish as the super thinly sliced velveted chicken is tender, and the sauce is flavorful. The downside is they used some fibrous asparagus stems which were unpleasant. Also, don't be surprised to find bell pepper or other random veggie added as well. Sichuan Style Double Cooked Bacon - I do not recommend. This is one of my all-time favorite dishes at nearly any other Sichuan restaurant, but this place failed miserably. The bacon was thick sliced, and the fat was not rendered well, so it was tough and chewy. More like poorly single cooked than double cooked. The fermented black beans and leeks are also crucial to this dish, and there wasn't nearly enough of them for my liking. The items served with the lunch special are generally really good, especially the surprisingly tasty pickled broccoli/veggie nibbles. Love these! And the egg drop soup and spring rolls are solid. The fried rice continues to disappoint, though, as it seems to just be rice seasoned with soy sauce. Too brown, and not enough green flavor enhancers - some onion or scallion, carrot, peas, broccoli, etc. would go a long way. read more

We just moved to Framingham, so everything is new to us. Several people recommended Sichuan Gourmet, and we've now ordered from them 3 times. I compare every Sichuan restaurant to my favorite, now closed, Mary Chung in Cambridge. It's not fair of me, really, because nothing compares. But... the food here is very good. Their pan-fried ravioli are tasty, chicken fingers are good - the same as most places. The General Tso's Chicken is supposed to be spicy but it really isn't. I now ask them to make it extra spicy, and that makes it moderately spicy. I think the only thing I wasn't crazy about was the Hot & Sour Soup. The soup is very thick, and I don't care for that. It's very flavorful though. We haven't eaten in the restaurant - we've only had delivery. But the food is good and we will keep trying new dishes. read more

Cheap food that tastes cheap you get what you pay for. Eating here is my last resort.

Came back this year and I'm glad I did. They reprinted menus with higher prices and no longer are cutting down portions or ingredients instead. I would say cooking quality during the pandemic was low but it came back up. Although pricier than before, the dishes were tasty and I was able to have ample leftovers for an additional full meal. Ordered my go-to items! Their service was a bit slower and disorganized (brought the wrong order to our table) and their complementary tea was really dilute (there was one tea bag in the whole pot). Otherwise, their operation has become quite good again. read more

If you love spice and Sichuan flavors this is the place to go! This is my go to take out but I also enjoy eating in. Their menu is large but attention to detail is not lost at all! My go to dishes no matter what else I order is the Cayenne Spicy Chicken with long horn peppers, DanDan Spicy Noodles and KungPao Chicken extra spicy! Service is very speedy and they make sure you had a good experience! If you're not sure what to get or are confused by the authentic Sichuan Chinese menu they will help you through it all! Very large space with function roon in the back and a bar! Decorated typical Sichuan restaurant but that does not take away from the experience! When they give you 3 sets of silverware because they think not just one person devours this much for dinner! Tuesday takeout from Sichuan Gourmet Framingham!! Pork Fried Rice, Cayenne Spicy Chicken and KungPao Chicken extra spicy! read more

I was seated quickly at 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon. There were several empty tables but 6 were already occupied. I was greeted by a no nonsense waiter who gave me water and tea. When he returned, he answered my question and took my order. The food was good. I especially enjoyed the chicken and asparagus with chengdu special sauce. The restaurant itself large without being cavernous. Carved wood accents and kabuki masks helped give the ambience an Asian flair but the decor was understated. Overall, I would recommend. read more

It's good. I think 3.5 stars but since you can't do halves here, then they deserve a round up. I can't judge the authenticity so I won't. But if you use the metric of "do people of that same ethnicity as the food eat there?" Then I would say it's authentic. Also the food is consistently good. One time I got soup and it tasted like spicy water, I told them, they switched out my meal. Yes, I got a mocking chuckle from the server. But whatever I guess. The other thing is that the food always comes out very quickly. Too quickly for it to be fresh. That's not to say that the food doesn't taste fresh, because it does. But it's not entirely made to order. Not possible. read more

One of my favorites and one of the few places outside of Boston to get good Sichuan food. The quantity is huge! The food comes out hot and fresh. Our favorites are the Gangzhou style spicy dry pot and the Fish in Spicy Sauce with Napa Cabbage. They have a pretty good assortment with veggies too as well as great wantons in chili oil. The service is friendly and the ladies who wait on you are absolute sweethearts. Definitely recommend! read more

Overpriced and underwhelming flavor with annoying service. We were asked 3-4 times if ready to order: once after we just sat down and then over and over again within 5 minutes. It wasn't even busy. Also the food is mid. Beef noodle soup was just spicy and oily, not flavorful. The kung pao is pretty good. General tso chicken - just no. read more

The restaurant is located on the second floor and has access with an elevator. The restaurant has a nice welcome ambiance with classic Asian designs. The hot and sour soup wasn't great in my opinion, I've had much better at other takeout spots. The vegetable dumplings were great and came in a bamboo steamer. Growing up, I loved sweet and sour chicken and this hit the spot! Have to eat it fast while it's still crispy and use the sauce with white rice. The lo mein was good and beef were good and typical for this style of American Chinese food. Overall a great place! read more

Sichuan Gourmet - a bowl of stew and rice - Szechuan Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

I've come here so many times with family and friends, it's the best stop for when we're around the area! They're quite popular but can easily and quickly seat you, and service is relatively fast. We ordered multiple dishes for 3 people which was a little more than we needed. The best dish was the dumplings, they were so big and filled with meat packed in a doughy outer layer, probably the biggest one I've seen in a restaurant! I was a little disappointed with the eggplant and chow foon however because they didn't have as much flavor as I expected. Especially with the chow foon, it smelled amazing but had a bland taste. Nonetheless, I always enjoy coming here as their menu is so big and they serve quickly! read more

We were in the area to watch a movie at AMC and stopped here for dinner after reading YELP reviews. Located on the second floor and yes there is an elevator if you need. The ambiance is nice and the decor is very asian, looked good. Very clean. The menu is huge, very extensive. We got served hot tea right away, which was nice. We ordered the Veg Spring Roll to start. Totally bland in flavor. Vegetarian Dan Dan Spicy Noodles were flavorful. Not spicy at all, we had to add chilli oil to really enjoy it. Honestly, we have had better Dan Dan at other restaurants. Sichuan Kung Bao chicken extra spicy was well prepared. Chinese Eggplant with Yu Xiang Sauce, we had soft tofu added to it, for an extra charge, flavor was okay, the sauce was a bit salty. Requested white rice and were charged $2. Service was attentive and servers were walking around ready to help. I felt the menu was a bit too pricey. Don't know if I would come back again, maybe!!! read more

Came in today on a Sunday, and the restaurant was packed. The service was prompt and good. The website doesn't specify that there are no lunch specials on weekends, which was my intent; instead I went with pan fried noodles with beef, hot and sour soup and the cold Szechuan noodles app in the white sauce. Everything was very tasty, especially the beef pan fried noodle dish which was large enough for 2. I also bought some homemade (hopefully*) chili sauce that they sell by the door (6$ + tax), it was a good add to the noodles to kick it up a notch. read more

Good food and nice size portions. A few years ago the food was much better but it seems like it's not what it used to be so I took one star off. But still one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in the area. I would recommend them to anyone who likes real spicy sichuan food. read more

Oh boy, where do I even begin with Sichuan food? It's like a spicy rollercoaster ride for your taste buds! I recently visited a this Sichuan restaurant and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I ordered the spicy noodle soup and the beef dry noodles. I have a high spice tolerance and the soup was an interesting numbing experience. Usually when eating Sichuan if you can avoid the peppercorns you should be fine but the pepper appeared to be grind into the soup base or something. Every slurp you take you get a tingly sensation in your mouth. So, if you're looking for a food adventure then Sichuan Gourmet is a solid choice. I did not realize they also have a location in Sharon and a few other places in Mass. I've been to the Sharon location and was wondering why the menu and overall set up experience was similar. My only complaint is the prices are on the high side AND you have to pay $2 for rice on top of the already high prices. I believe each dish avg around $18-$22 read more

We visited about a week ago for my boyfriend's birthday. I hadn't been in years so didn't really remember how the food was. They have the big round tables with lazy susans in the back. We ordered a ton of stuff, including 松鼠鱼, Kung pao chicken, beef with scallions, spicy cauliflower, intestine, mapo tofu, fried rice, etc. and everything was really good and came out puzzlingly fast! The 松鼠鱼 didn't look like it usually does, it was all deboned and in pieces instead of with the whole fish, but it tasted great and fresh without being soggy. The dishes that were spicy were not that spicy to my family and maybe could have had more of a kick, but I appreciate that they're trying to cater to a broad audience and we could ask them to make it spicier in the future. My boyfriend is not Chinese and a picky eater and he really enjoyed this meal. Service was very efficient and they came and asked us how things were a couple times which actually kind of shocked me because I am used to the usual curt Chinese service. I only wish there was a closer location to us. Please expand towards the west! read more
