Bunji sour fish late service has just launched in Boston
🐟 B2J Tasty Pot Allston: Boston’s New Sour Fish Soup Sensation—Worth the Hype (Even Late to the Party) After hearing nonstop buzz about this new Sichuan spot, I finally visited—skipping the opening-week crowds by timing it right. Half a month in, the hype’s still real, and their signature fish soup lives up to it. 🌟 The Star: Sour Fish Soup Combo We went for the two-person set: signature “double” sour fish soup (old base) with a mild spice level, plus add-ons (spam and green bamboo shoots). It’s more than enough—we left with leftovers, even after stuffing ourselves. Fish & Beef: 🥩 The fish is tender, flaky, and free of that “fishy” aftertaste. The beef chunks are huge, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Both soak up the soup’s tangy-savory flavor, making every bite satisfying. Soup Base: 🌶️ Mild spice (ask for medium or hot if you crave heat) with bright, zesty (sour pickled cabbage) that cuts through richness. It’s addictive—we kept sipping it straight from the bowl. Value: ~$40 per person (with rice and sides) feels fair for the portion and quality. 😋 The Extras Spicy Chicken Gizzards: 🐔 A standout side. Chewy, peppery, and packed with Sichuan numbing heat—addictive enough to order as a main. Sweet Osmanthus Lotus Root: 🌸 Meh. The lotus root is tender, but the osmanthus syrup is cloyingly sweet—skip it. Fresh Milk Mochi: 🧁 Free bonus (yes, free!) and a highlight. Silky, milky mochi tossed with crispy cereal bits—light, sweet, and the perfect palate cleanser after spicy soup. ✨ The Vibe Casual, lively, and still bustling (no surprise). The focus is on the food—hot pots bubbling, aromas of Sichuan peppercorn and filling the air. It’s exactly what you want from a new Chinese spot: bold flavors, generous portions, and that “homey” feel that satisfies cravings. B2J Tasty Pot doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it nails the classics. If you’re jonesing for authentic sour fish soup (or just crave a hearty, flavorful meal), it’s worth a trip—even if you’re late to the hype. 📍 B2J Tasty Pot Allston 77 Harvard Ave, Allston, MA 02134 #BostonSichuan #SourFishSoup #AllstonEats
