🌶️ Burlington’s Sichuan Spot: A Solid Pit Stop, But Not a Destination Tucked in Burlington, this Chinese restaurant hits the spot if you’re in the area—but it’s not worth a special trip. With a few standout dishes and convenient parking, it’s a reliable choice for quick, spicy eats when you’re running errands. 🌟 The Only Must-Order Spicy Braised Pork Ribs 🌟🌟🌟🌟 $28.50 ・Fall-off-the-bone ribs in a salty-spicy sauce—think "Northeastern-style (braised ribs) with a Sichuan kick" • Rich, tender, and extremely (ask for extra rice) • Mild heat—perfect for those who like flavor without tongue-numbing spice 💡 Meh Dishes to Skip Spicy Flash-Fried Fish 🌟🌟 $27.50 • Fish coated in a thick, starchy batter—lacks freshness and "fishy" flavor (in a bad way) • Sauce is one-note spicy, no depth—better to stick with the ribs Beef Wrap 🌟🌟 $19.50 • Thin beef slices with cucumber in a flour tortilla—bland, with no standout sauce • Missing the scallions or cilantro that make this dish pop at better spots Garlic Pea Shoots 🌟 $22.50 • Served completely cold—limp, under-seasoned, and overpriced for veggies 📍 Practical Details Vibe: Basic, no-frills dining room with large tables (good for groups, but nothing memorable) Parking: Tons of free spots (a huge plus—no circling for street parking) Price: $25/person (with 3–4 dishes)—reasonable, but only the ribs justify the cost 🌟 Final Verdict: 2.8/5 (Only Stop If You’re in Burlington) It’s not bad, but it’s not impressive. The spicy braised ribs are solid, but everything else falls flat. Save this spot for when you’re in the area—no need to drive across town. 🥢 #BurlingtonEats #BostonChinese #SichuanFood #PitStopEats
