It's our GoTo for Asian takeout. Overall it's slightly better than most in the area. On busy occasions like Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve; I would give it 3 stars. With that in mind I still prefer it better than others in the area. read more

I don't think there's another Chinese restaurant that will beat my love for Sichuan Gourmet. This place is legit. I was introduced to this restaurant by my Chinese boyfriend's family. This is one of the only restaurants they go to and bring guests to. The food is always superb. We typically order the Dan Dan noodles; beef slices and tendon in chili oil; and scallion pancake for appetizers. Within minutes the family-style entrees come out as well: usually kung-bao beef, a vegetable dish, a pork dish, and a whole fish dish. This feeds a very well fed family of 5 with some extras to bring home. There hasn't been anything they've served that I haven't liked. The whole fish is probably my favorite. It takes the longest to prepare since it's a whole fish made from scratch starting the minute you order it, but it's well worth the wait - especially since you get all of the other dishes so quickly! While there are some non-spicy menu items, be aware that you are going to a Szechuan restaurant so many items will be spicy. And I mean SPICY. Don't worry, they're great about keeping the tea and waters refilled! Great service and even better food. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going here for years. Most of the time for soba noodles. Everything is very good and the host is very nice and helpful with explaining the menu. There's a lot of seating, but I have not dined it yet. read more

I ordered general two chicken- super breaded and chicken was tasteless. I also ordered a chicken lo mein and rice noodles with chicken. Both noodles dishes has a tiny tiny amount of chicken. The rice noodles has no flavor at all and the lo mein is so oily. Never coming back. read more

Terrible experience with not delivering the order...!! Harrowing experience with GrubHub over several calls and somehow a popular location is also something they couldn't reach! I'm shocked. This is the first time I ordered from Sichuan Gourmet. Haven't faced similar problems with any other restaurant's good delivery through GrubHub. read more

Sichuan Gourmet is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. The Chengdu Spicy Dumplings are a must try!

We recently had a great dinner here. Although the menu doesn't indicate what is gluten-free, the server was able to tell us what could and couldn't be made gluten-free. The chicken wings, sesame chicken, general tso's, fried rice and spiced lamb could all be made gluten-free. The sesame chicken was delicious, though I usually prefer white meat. None of the people in our party who have celiac had any reaction, so they must have done a good job with making sure there was no cross-contamination. The cumin beef wasn't a big hit, but everything else was good. Make sure you order white rice if you want it because it doesn't come automatically. read more

Great food! Beautiful presentations as well. On the menu they tell you straight up what the portion size is and how long you'll need to wait for certain items. I wish the service was a bit better. It seemed that we got ignored various times. I'm sure our server was just busy. read more

New favorite takeout! So hard to find good egg drop soup but I did! Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. Crab Rangoon was crispy, non greasy and had just the right amount of filling inside. The dumplings were huge and the general zhao chicken was spicy, crispy and not soggy like most places you get it. You know what I'm talking about, the batter gets all soggy and slumps off... but not this place! How do they do it!? I didn't know this place existed until we found it on yelp. I've been to the market on the first floor but had no idea there was anything above it. Plenty of parking in private lot off route 9. read more

The food was excellent and the staff was very accommodating and attentive. The food can be easily customized if you want your food spicier. read more

The restaurant was clean and spacious. the staff were prompt and had great deadpan senses of humor. I wish they'd offer more combination plates on the menu and the parking/stairs were difficult. I would definitely give this restaurant another try. read more

Historically poor experience at what used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Seated right away and waited for more than 20 minutes without ever being waited upon. Politely asked hostess multiple times if perhaps they overlooked our table assignment. While she assured us that server would be over soon and then yelled at him to go over and take our order, the server looked over and then Ignored us completely. We politely got up and left the restaurant without ever ordering. Sichuan Gourmet is no longer for us and we will never be back. read more

If you like REAL Chinese food and SPICY...welcome to Nirvana! I wept joyful, spicy tears as I ate this amazing cuisine!

My friend got me a take out from your place - fried rice and chicken in Napa cabbage. While nothing was wrong with the food, what I found in the fried rice was disgusting - A staple pin. See pics (top of the pic near a few grains of rice you will see a silver staple pin). I threw the food away. read more

Definitely get their eggplant dish. They can adjust the spice level for you too. When I came there was a good amount of people at the restaurant and a diverse crowd too, which was cool to see. We enjoyed each dish we got and out of the two of us we finished everything because it was too tasty to stop! You can go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

My family's go to Chinese restaurant for years that actually serves pretty decent and authentic Chinese food! Still prefer this location to the Brookline one (don't know why but the food tastes a little better here or I'm probably just biased). The place is usually packed at night and is hustling and bustling with activity, and like most Chinese restaurants, service is usually no frills so don't get offended. Most of the time, we order the following dishes and rarely shake it up: Steamed Bacon with Fresh Garlic Spicy Sauce (suan ni bai rou): Seriously, I'm not a huge pork eater, but the warm and thinly cut meat slices just melt in your mouth and pair perfectly with the garlic/chili sauce. Dried Chicken with Chili: Very popular. It's not as spicy as it looks, and the diced chicken is usually crisp on the outside but super tender and flavorful on the inside. Beef or Fish fillets with Nappa Cabbage with Spicy Chili Sauce (AKA shu zhu niu rou or yu): Classic Sichuan dish. Can be spicy or not spicy depending on the day but tastes so good especially mixed with rice. The veggies and meat are saturated with the flavors from the sauce/broth. For my brother who can't eat spicy, we get... Fish Filet with Fresh Tomatoes and Vegetables: Not a huge fan of fish filets that were once frozen, but the sauce and veggies go well with rice and counteracts the spiciness of other dishes. Sweet and Sour Chicken: I actually quite recommend this. Even my dad who generally doesn't eat American Chinese food, likes it. The chicken meat is shredded or thinly cut into small but long pieces and is lightly battered/sauced and topped with lots of sesame seeds. There's definitely no red food coloring or stuff like that. Quite crispy and not heavy. Shredded Pork with Bamboo Shoots: Pork slices are very thin and tender and pairs well with the crunchy bamboo shoots. For veggies, you also can't go wrong with Sichuan Style String Beans or Chinese Eggplant with Basil. Food can get a little oily or spicy though so drink that tea for a cleansing and balance it out with rice. Interestingly, portion sizes have varied over the past 10 years or so (ratio of meat to veggies increases and decreases), but it probably depends on the night/chef, and they rarely skimp on ingredients. Tip/Note: There is a small discount if you pay in cash! And a little Chinese store below the restaurant where you can stock up on some Asian goodies before eating (instead of going to Chinatown)~ read more

Nice place for spicy takeout. The ma po tofu needs more salt and the generic Chinese-American things on the appetizer menu are all meh, but the Szechuan specialties like the spicy cold beef and anythig with chengdu spices are great. read more

FOOD: Authentic Sichuan fare with real heat! Spicy fish stew, cumin lamb, and the Kung Pao chicken are always family favorites. Meats are fresh and dishes are balanced in flavor and ingredients (no dishes piled high w vegetables and a few mangy strips of meat thrown in! ) SERVICE: Food comes out fast and the waiters are friendly! Never had a problem here EXPERIENCE: Traditional Chinese restaurant feel w multiple tables upstairs and a large party room in the back. Nothing particularly special but does the job. VALUE: Food has gotten more expensive here, with entrees probably around $14-20 each depending on meat, but still worth it given the amount of leftovers you'll have the next day! SUMMARY: Great Chinese cuisine that is a true classic and staple for many years. My family has been coming here for a while and they never fail to disappoint! Must try read more

This is our first time and we enjoy ambient of it. Feels quiet authentic and their dish side is large enough to take it home. I ordered vegetable lo Men but it doesn't have much vegetables so I order another dish with veggie. My husband enjoy his meat dish and fresh rice. We will try to come again and try it once a more. read more

Excellent food; fast service and reasonable prices (especially with the lunch specials served until 3PM).

The food is very authentic and the menu is large. We have been here about 10 times and the food is consistently good. The place is always full. Definitely not a bar scene as everyone is seated at tables. It helps if you speak their language as most of the servers we noticed having difficulty understanding what we wanted to order. It's also handicapped accessible with the elevator as they are located on the second floor. If you want good authentic food, you should check this place out. read more

The food has no taste. We order spicy eggplant which was very oily and no taste. The food quality and prices are awful.

Simply the best Chinese restaurant outside of Boston's Chinatown. The Orange Crisp Beef is actually "crispy" and everything I've tried is excellent. Zagat when it mattered had it the best in Boston and I still agree. read more

Food and service were wonderful. Definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants in Massachusetts in my personal opinion. read more

Always an excellent meal and excellent service. Non- local friends and family will plan to visit just to be able to go to Sichuan Gourmet. We're always happy to oblige. read more

I have yet to review this place. Come here often to eat lunch with coworkers since I work 10 mins away. The atmosphere is decent and really, who cares? I love coming here with my chinese coworker because we can order give or take 4 dishes and eat it as a family style. No, we did not finish all of them. The food is terrific! Sichuan cuisine is best known for their spices. Be prepare to eat till your tongue goes numb. Double cooked bacon has now become my new favorite dish along with the Jingu fish. read more

Sichuan Gourmet is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in metro west since college. My favorite part of the menu is actually the appetizers and dim sum - in particular, the Spicy Wooden Year (酸辣木耳), Dan Dan noodles (noodles mixed with minced pork and a spicy sesame sauce), and Spicy Dumplings (钟水饺). All of these are among the most typical dishes in Sichuan cuisine and I make sure to order them every time I go. For entrees, the Double Cooked Bacon dish is very good, however, it can be a little too fatty for some people. The Braised Lions Head (braised large meatballs) is another meat dish that I would recommend. They also have a great selections of stir fried veggie dishes - spicy cauliflower, Shanghai greens with minced garlic are two of my favorites. The portions are generous here as I often leave with leftovers for the next meal. The place can gets pretty busy on weekends, but the service is very quick, so I have never had to wait for more than 15-20 min! read more

I eat there for almost seven years now. I tried multiple dishes. I liked almost all. consistent good quality food, fast service, and nice tea. I will go again and I recommend. read more

This place is excellent. The service is great and they're very quick with the takeout orders. I've tried several of their dishes and they've all been excellent. Definitely try their beef dishes and any of the fried rice or lo mein are also great! read more

Awesome Chinese food. Just what I was in the mood for. We split crab rangoons, general Tso's chicken and chicken lo mein. All great choices. read more

Decided to try to take out from this place as i was in the area. Well, just another typical chineese food, greasy and spycy( despite my request). 1/3 of the dish was water. No rice was in the bag!!!! When requested utencil and napkin( none were in the bag) , he put the fork and the napkin right on the counter where people put their money!!! Some hygene, eh?!( Not friendly at all, acted as if he did me a favor...poor English too.... Will NOT return!!! read more

My hyper-local Chinese restaurant is closed due to the pandemic, so I got on Yelp to find an alternative. Sichuan Gourmet was always the place I saw on Rt. 9 but never thought twice about, so I was surprised by the great reviews. I was willing to drive a bit further to satisfy my family's hunger for Chinese food, and I'm glad I did. The online menu & ordering system is easy (though it does not accept payment). I was unsure if it was curb service only, or if I had to go inside. I ended up having to go inside, but the host had a mask and gloves on and practiced social distancing. There were about 6 to 8 other to-go bags ready for other customers, so Sichuan Gourmet is doing a brisk business during this COVID-19 scare. Our food: Chicken Low Mein - outstanding. The noodles were al dente, the white meat chicken was tender and well seasoned. All around my favorite dish of the night. Vegetable Frid Rice - fresh and tasty. Very lightly fried, and no soy sauce made it very light. They did not provide any soy sauce in the to-go bag, so I'm glad we had some at home to boost the flavor a bit. Pan-Fried Ravioli - way better than our local place. The pork filling was tender and looked much cleaner than the grey gelatinous filling at our regular place. They provided a very generous portion of dipping sauce. Chicken Fingers - Although the chicken itself was of better quality than our local place, the coating was way greasier. When we tipped the leftovers into our Tupperware, there was a quarter-inch pool of grease in the box. They provided a tiny container of Chinese hot mustard, which is what I like to dip the tenders in, but they did provide a generous container of the sweet sauce. read more

This place is always amazing! Fast friendly and delicious food. I been numerous times and never had anything to complain about!

Best Chines outside of Boston hands down!!!! There house fire drive is yummy! The jump shrimp with fresh garlic is a must try! Sweat and sour chicken, sigh in a very good way!!!! read more

Best "authentic" Sichuan cuisine in the area. I didn't discover this place until about two years ago which means I lived 26 years without it. This place is the best! I drive 30 just to get it! Wontons in spicy sauce Eggplant w basil Dried chicken with chili Sautéed green beans Mapo tofu Dan dan noodles Pea pod stems in garlic sauce I'm hoping to enjoy it for at least the 26 years I lived without it. read more

Delicious! Boyfriend and I stopped in on a whim after noticing it on the drive the night before. Didn't realize how long it had been there (15 years!) Ordered the sweet and sour noodles, Dan Dan noodles, Peking raviolis and crab rangoons. Everything was outstanding. Even the duck sauce and dipping sauce for the raviolis were above average. Will definitely be going back soon. read more

I wish this place would expand their lunch menu. The dry chicken with chili is amazing, also insanely hot. Chicken with mixed vegetables is our go-to veggie dish. Very tasty. The meatball thing is disgusting, I'm sorry, but it is. The spring rolls have definitely declined in quality. There's nothing inside them except maybe a strip of carrot and cabbage. Basically eating fried air. Do not get duck for take out. The last time we did we got home and discovered it was cold. Called to see what was up and was told to microwave the duck. It was disgusting. This place can be very hit or miss. read more

Everything was good. Little expensive, but times are tough all over these days. Had a lunch plate and soda was $20+.

Yummy food. We tried Beef Cumin , Lamb Cumin, shrimp sichuan, general tso's chicken, and a spicy fish entree which were all on point. Service and ambiance is pretty good too! Must try if you love Sichuan cuisine! read more

This restaurant has a nasty attitude when it comes to Celiacs. The woman who answered the phone said that out of their whole menu, they can only make "white sauce" gluten free...really? Then "Peter," supposedly a manager, explained that this restaurant refuses to stock gluten-free soy sauce or gluten-free hoisin sauce, items that are readily available in every local Framingham supermarket. read more
