    Plump doughy fresh dumplings
    Jay M.

    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.

    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.

    Roast Beef, Tendon, and Tripe with Chili Sauce
    Helen H.

    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

    Pickled Vegetables

    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.

    Sauteed Fish Filets with Basil (lunch)
    David L.

    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.

    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.

    Gangou Dry Fish Filet

    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.

    Great restaurant offering traditional Sichuan cuisine. I would always stop by this place for dinner when I'm in the area. Staff is also courteous and helpful.

My view of the current establishment may be tainted by my mourning for the wonderful restaurant this used to be. Now, it is a perfectly decent takeout restaurant, but does little to standout from so many run of the mill Americanized Chinese restaurants. The quaint and homey dining room has gone downhill, and it is no longer somewhere I would "dine-in" as the room is mostly used for preparing takeout orders. The lunch special I tried recently had only 4 shrimp, but a really nice mix of fresh vegetables in the sauce, including yellow squash, zucchini, carrot, onion, bell pepper, snow peas, and broccoli. Personally, I loved having these veggies, particularly given the soy sauce laden fried rice lacked any vegetables.

It has even earned the ultimate "Asian elder approved" stamp of admiration from my parents, making it a fantastic dining destination for families, small groups, and large parties alike. The food quality is consistently good, and the buffet area is kept exceptionally clean and well-stocked. They even post helpful sauce recipes so you can mix and match your own dipping blends. The menu can feel slightly limited in specific areas, for instance, the thin-sliced meat is only on the hot pot menu, meaning you have to opt for both the BBQ and hot pot combo to order it. It would also be great to see popular additions like steamed egg and cheese corn on the menu, but the current selection is still more than good enough to warrant regular return visits. The staff is a massive reason why this location stands out. The team goes above and beyond to make guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Water glasses are always full and dirty plates always get picked up before I can even put it down! During a birthday celebration for my dad, the shift lead was incredibly thoughtful down to the last detail--he proactively offered a candle, perfectly timed the tiramisu dessert delivery, requested my dad's ID for a comped meal, and made him feel remarkably special. On a separate visit, the team noticed my mom really enjoyed a specific after-dinner mint that they have in the candy bowl at the front. He handed her an entire handful on her way out. That level of personal, homey attention makes a lasting impression. The restaurant is notably cleaner than typical AYCE hot pot and BBQ joints (no greasy floors or sticky tables - yay!) , and the astronaut-themed decor gives the space a unique, cute aesthetic. Because dozens of individual table grills are running simultaneously, the dining room can get quite warm, so it is best to dress in easily removable layers before heading inside.

    I've been ordering Chinese food for probably 20 years, and I honestly can't remember the last time…read moreI was this impressed--not only by the food, but by the entire experience from the moment I placed the order. The woman who took my order was incredibly attentive. She asked all the right questions, made sure I was ordering from the correct Chengdu location, asked how many plates and forks I needed, and made the whole pickup process incredibly easy. She even called me back to make sure I was waiting in the right place, and then brought the food directly to the window of my car. That level of attention to detail is rare these days. Then I opened the bag--and WOW. The smell alone was probably the best aroma I've experienced opening a Chinese takeout order in a very long time. And thankfully, the taste absolutely lived up to it. Even the presentation impressed me. Everything came in a nice reusable Chengdu bag, the containers were properly sealed, nothing leaked or dripped, and the food looked as good as it smelled. You could tell there was thought and care put into the entire order, not just the cooking. I had seen the roughly 3-star Yelp rating before ordering, so I really wasn't expecting this. Based on my experience tonight, I genuinely don't understand the low rating. Of course, I'll have to come back and try more of the menu before I can speak to everything, but IF the woman who helped me tonight is representative of how this restaurant is being run, they deserve some recognition!! Amazing service, amazing aroma, amazing food, and one of the smoothest takeout experiences I've had. I will absolutely be back!

    To be totally honest, living in the area for 5 years we never tried Cheng Due before mainly because…read moreof the low ratings in Yelp. However, last weekend we decided to give it a try because some times we need to give the benefit of the doubt to some places and judge them by ourselves. Well, to our surprise we had a very pleasant first experience at this place. Starting with the ambience, the restaurant has a nice sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. Everything was very clean and organized in an elegant way, which caused a very good first impression. Continuing with the food, there is a variety of options in the menu, mainly Chinese (of course) but also a Japanese section (sushi and other items). We ordered from the Chinese options...For appetizers we ordered the Thai Spring Rolls, the Scallion Pancakes, and the Boneless Ribs, all of them very delicious. The Scallion Pancakes have been the best in terms of texture that we have tried in the area. Our only recommendation would be to add more scallions to the dough so they can taste more to scallion. The flavor of the Boneless Ribs was very tasty and their texture was tender, not chewy as we have tried in other places. The Thai Spring Rolls were interesting, flavor was good as well as the texture. As main entree, we ordered the Orange Crispy Beef and the Sesame Chichen and found both very delicious. The crispy beef was the first time we tried something like that in the area. The amount of sauce that they used in both dishes was not too excessive and the tenderness of both the beef and the chicken was very good. Regarding drinks, we ordered a Piña Colada and a Polynesian cocktail, both with very balanced flavors. The only recommendation for the Piña Colada is to try making it more frozen and not with too many ice cubes. The flavor was pretty similar to an authentic Piña Colada (we are from Puerto Rico, the place where this drink was born and have to admit that the flavor was good); making it more frozen would give the final touch to make it more authentic, in our opinion. The desserts menu was not extensive at all, only one option available which was the fried ice cream. We decided to try it anyway and found it very good. In terms of the service, it was acceptable. Our server did a great job taking the order and not missing any item as well as serving our table on time and accurate. He wasn't smiling all the time, but he was respectful and polite, enough for us. I would say that if you are in the area, you can give it a try. For 5 years we avoided this place, and unless they changed something recently I have to say that we like the experience and are planning to go back. We don't do late dinner regularly, so we went there around 5:30 pm, which we don't know if that could have made any difference in everything.
