BOS After eating and eating, this Sichuan cuisine really wins

🌶️ Noah's Kitchen: Brookline’s Top Sichuan Spot—Spice, Freshness, and Consistent Excellence Boston’s Sichuan scene is crowded, but Noah’s Kitchen stands out as the total package: great ambiance, stellar service, and authentic flavors that keep locals (and their out-of-town guests) coming back. We rounded up a big group and ordered all the classics—no surprises, just consistent, mouthwatering spice. 🔥 Must-Order Spicy Hits Chongqing Spicy Chicken ・Better than the more famous (Geleshan) version, in our opinion. The chicken is chopped into tiny, crispy pieces—every bite is coated in numbing-spicy sauce, and even the leftover dried chili peppers get scooped up (they’re that flavorful with rice). Sichuan Pepper Fish • A table favorite. The fish is steamed fresh—tender enough to melt in your mouth—swimming in a broth that’s spicy but balanced (mild enough for spice newbies). The numbing Sichuan peppercorn kick lingers in the best way. Dry Pot Intestines & Bullfrog • Skeptics, rejoice: The intestines are cleaned to perfection (no gamey aftertaste) and fried crispy, while the bullfrog is plump, tender, and packed with garlicky, spicy flavor. These are "order again immediately" good. Sour Soup Beef Tenderloin • Rich, broth-based, and deeply satisfying. The beef is thick, tender, and soaked in a savory-sour broth (think bone broth depth with a tangy twist). The vermicelli and enoki mushrooms at the bottom? Rice killer—you’ll want extra bowls. ❌ The Only Miss Dried Fish & Eggplant Clay Pot • A letdown: Fishy, under-seasoned, and lacking the bold sauce you’d expect. Skip it. 💫 Why It’s a Go-To Vibe: Clean, modern, and upscale enough for guests (no "hole-in-the-wall" chaos)—a rare find for authentic Sichuan in Boston. Service: Attentive and quick, even with large groups. Value: $50/person for a feastis fair for the quality and portion size. 📍 Address: 18 Harvard St, Brookline When friends visit or you crave real Sichuan, this is the spot. It’s not just "good for Boston"—it’s good, period. #BostonSichuan #AuthenticFlavors #FoodieFaves #BrooklineEats
