🇺🇸 Boston | My top three Sichuan restaurants

🌶️ Noah's Kitchen: Brookline’s Sichuan Standout—Spicy, Sour, and Sichuan Comfort at Its Best On Harvard Street in Brookline, this popular Sichuan spot draws crowds for good reason—bold flavors, tender proteins, and dishes that taste like a trip to Sichuan. Beat the dinner rush by going at lunch; trust us, the wait is worth it for these standout dishes. 🌟 The Must-Orders Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles 🍜 A non-negotiable. Chewy noodles tossed in a zesty, numbing sauce (think Sichuan peppercorn + chili oil), mixed with tender chicken (shreds). It’s spicy, tangy, and addictive—the perfect balance of heat and refreshment. Noodle lovers, this is your new go-to. Sour Cabbage Fish Soup 🐟 Like home. Plump, flaky fish chunks in a bright, tangy broth with pickled cabbage, potatoes, and glass noodles. The soup is sour-savory (not overpowering) and so good you’ll want to sip every drop. It’s hearty, comforting, and incredibly. Dry Pot Bullfrog 🐸 Spicy, but worth it. Tender, chewy frog legs (no sliminess!) stir-fried with chili peppers, onions, and spices. It’s fiery—really spicy—but that “can’t stop eating” heat that Sichuan food does best. The frog meat soaks up the sauce, making every bite bold and flavorful. 😊 Solid Sides Plum Spareribs 🍖 Sweet, sticky, and tender. The ribs are braised until they fall off the bone, coated in a fruity plum sauce that’s sweet with a hint of tartness. It’s the perfect contrast to spicy dishes. Celery with Dried Tofu 🥬 A crisp, fresh stir-fry: crunchy celery and chewy dried tofu tossed in soy and garlic. It’s light, savory, and cuts through the richness of heavier dishes. 💰 Value & Vibe Price: ~$35 per person—reasonable for the portions and quality, especially for authentic Sichuan. Atmosphere: Casual, bustling, and lively. It’s a neighborhood favorite, so expect chatter and clinking bowls, but service is quick enough to keep the food coming. Noah's Kitchen nails Sichuan’s signature “ma la” (numbing-spicy) vibe, with dishes that are both comforting and exciting. Whether you’re here for cold noodles, sour fish, or frog legs, it’s a standout in Boston’s scene. 📍 Noah's Kitchen 18 Harvard St, Brookline, MA 02445 #BrooklineEats #SichuanFood #SpiceLovers
