Boston | It has risen to become my favorite Sichuan food in Boston
🌶️ Noah’s Kitchen: Boston’s Go-To Sichuan Spot for Guests—Consistently Delicious When I need to treat someone to Sichuan food in Boston, Noah’s is my first choice. Reliable, flavorful, and with dishes that impress—here’s why it works. 🔥 Standout Dishes Grilled Gluten Skewers ($15.99/6): 🥢 My surprise favorite. The gluten has a crispy, fried exterior, tossed in a spicy red oil sauce that’s incredibly fragrant. Crunchy, savory, and addictive—easily the highlight of the meal. Signature Spicy Blood Curd Hot Pot ($36.99): 🌶️ Loaded with goodies: tripe, duck blood, spam, fatty beef, pork intestines, fish slices, and veggies. A hearty, flavorful mix—perfect for sharing. Boiling Crispy Grass Carp ($39.99): 🐟 Similar in flavor to the spicy hot pot, but centered on tender, crisp grass carp. Delicious if you love the fish, but pick one or the other—they’re quite similar. Note: Fish portions are on the smaller side for the price. Twice-Cooked Pork ($18.99): 🥩 Thinly sliced, stir-fried until crispy (my favorite style—all the oil rendered out, leaving dry, fragrant meat). No greasy fatty bits here, but portions are small. Black Pepper Mushroom & Beef Stir-Fry ($20.99): 🍄 A win for non-spicy eaters. Mushrooms are stir-fried until dry and savory, beef is tender, and the portion’s generous. Comforting enough to eat alone with rice—total “safe bet” dish. Salted Egg Yolk Lotus Root Sticks ($18.99): 🥔 Can’t resist salted egg yolk. The lotus root is crispy, the yolk adds a mild salty aroma. Seasoning is light, so it gets greasy if you eat too much—best shared. Fried Milk Pudding ($10.99): 🥛 A random order that paid off. The crust is thicker and crunchier than dim sum versions, but it’s a nice sweet finish. ✨ The Details Price: ~$36 per person, better value with larger groups. Consistency: Dishes are reliably good—no off days. Spice Level: More numbing (ma) than fiery (la)—mild enough for most palates. Service: We lucked into a last-minute 6-person table at 7 PM on Sunday. But: Food arrived super fast (5 minutes after ordering, then all dishes in minutes). Makes you wonder if some are prepped, but the taste holds up. 📍 Noah’s Kitchen 18 Harvard St, Brookline, MA 02445 #BostonSichuan #ReliableEats #DiningWithGuests
