Boston bullfrog head rush! A plate of Sichuan-style frog and fish pot

🌶️ BOS' SiChuan Taste: Allston’s Sichuan Gem—That Frog & Fish Pot Is Pure Comfort This is hands down my favorite Sichuan spot in Boston. I’ve brought several Sichuan friends here, and they all give it the seal of approval. When I heard they added a “live frog & fish hot pot” to the menu, I had to try it—and it did not disappoint. 🌟 The Star: Live Frog & Fish Pot The Pot: 🐸🐟 Served in a round iron wok, it immediately feels “authentic”—like something you’d find in a Sichuan hometown eatery. The frog legs? Game-changing. Tender, springy, and infused with fragrant chili oil—no “frozen frog” rubberiness here (seriously, frozen frog tastes like old chicken legs). The fish is just as good: silky, flaky, and so fresh it melts in your mouth. Bonus: The pot is deeper than it looks, packed with hidden goodies—lettuce, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, and tangy pickled cabbage. Perfect for 2-3 people; my friend and I left with two containers of leftovers. 😊 The Extras Complimentary Ice Jelly: 🍧 The owner, seeing we were enjoying the meal, gave us two bowls of 冰粉 (bing fen). This version had more toppings than the winter one: sago, taro balls, watermelon, pudding, fermented rice, nuts, and raisins. One bite, and I suddenly missed home—it’s that “comforting” kind of sweet. 🔥 Other Must-Orders Sichuan Pepper Chicken: 🌶️ Ultra numbing (in the best way), with tender chicken and a zesty sauce. Cold Vermicelli: 🥢 Refreshing, spicy, and garlicky—perfect for cutting the richness of the hot pot. Ribs in Bean Soup: 🥘 A milder option, with fall-off-the-bone ribs in a creamy bean broth. ✨ Pro Tip The frog & fish pot is oily—ask for “less oil” if you prefer lighter flavors. Budget Score: 4.5/5. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and worth every penny. BOS' SiChuan Taste isn’t just good—it’s “cure a bad workday” good. That frog & fish pot alone makes it a must-visit for spice lovers. 📍 BOS' SiChuan Taste 204 Harvard Ave, Allston, MA 02134 #BostonSichuan #SpicyFood #AllstonEats
