BOS’ SiChuan Taste

BOS’ SiChuan Taste serves Sichuan cooking at 204 Harvard Avenue. Dan dan noodles and cumin beef offer a starting point, while the menu goes further into dishes with pork, rabbit, fish and offal. Grilled fish comes in preparations such as garlic, pickled pepper and green Sichuan pepper, making it a useful centerpiece for a table ordering several dishes.

You can build a smaller meal from noodles and an appetizer, or share larger plates with rice. Soup dumplings, scallion pancakes and eggplant with minced pork give the order different textures and levels of heat. Read the dish descriptions rather than assuming everything is equally spicy; chili and numbing pepper are distinct parts of the menu. The restaurant’s online ordering page lists individual preparations and their ingredients.
