Review Sichuan Garden - Brookline

Great food, cocktails and service. Waiter was awesome. If I had to be stingy just a little small on portion size but quality made up for it. Will definitely be back!

Really great food and cocktails but am knocking off two stars for two main reasons: 1) The menu did NOT specify when dishes had peanuts and the first dish arrived with peanuts in it. But, because the menu also recommended ahead of time to alert the servers to any food allergies, I was OK with this--no harm done (although in all honesty this reminded should be larger and NOT in fine print). We then asked our server to ensure whether there were any peanuts in the remaining 4 dishes that had yet to arrive and the server came back saying no. However, my friends ended up finding two whole peanuts in the fei teng fish dish--which led us to believe it was some kind of accident. This is a extremely dangerous accident and fortunately my friends caught it before I ended up eating any. 2) The inside of the restaurant was open for restroom use as long as you wore a mask. After we paid the bill, I put on my mask and tried to go inside to freshen up but before I could enter, a waitress came out and told me I could be helped outside. I indicated I just wanted to use the restroom and she told me it was "only for guests at this time." (as if it would be available to non-guests at another time? But this is irrelevant and I'm just being sassy here). I had to tell her I just ate as a customer before she let me pass through. It would have been nice if she didn't outright assume I WASN'T a customer; she could have at least asked if I was a patron before denying me use of the restroom. In any case, great cuisine and REALLY would have liked to give this place 5 stars--but in the name of an honest and informative review I can't this time around due to food and service incidents.

Since most of us are trapped at home during this pandemic, Blossom Bar allows you to have some tasty cocktails right in the comfort of your own home. Call them after 3:00 p.m. to place a pickup order and you can grab it after 5:00 p.m. The Halo Halo is a creamy ube drink, which works nicely with a light rum. The Gloria is more of a fruity cocktail that makes you think of fall and apple pie bursting in your mouth. If you want to spice up the drink they also sell garnish bags complete with straw and stirrers. Each bottle for the cocktail mix allows you to make up to five drinks.

Amazing drinks, unique flavors and creative drink combos. Staff is friendly and food is delicious! We came in with a group of 7, was seated pretty quick, we just grabbed drinks while waiting. Portions vary and are reasonable, not huge but shareable. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Blossom Bar. It was my birthday today and the only thing we didn't like was the temperamental/moody waitress. She negatively impacted the unbelievable food and ambiance, despite Covid. It takes courage to eat out these days and it's not nice if the waiting staff have a mood! It puts a shade on your evening.

Great service, food is absolutely delicious. I booked a reservation for my birthday to eat outdoors. Outdoor and indoor dining is well organized, staff is beyond friendly and caring. I appreciated them so much for making my dinner so easy

Before Blossom was relegated to take-out only I loved the restaurant. The staff and ambiance were perfection, but the food was much better then too. Tonight I had scallops with the side muscle still on (the chewy part), shrimp without the vein removed, and overcooked pea pod stems. The care is just not there anymore, and it’s been a serious disappointment lately. I know that it’s difficult to be in the restaurant business at the moment (actually it’s always been tough) but if they could get the kitchen working properly again I know they could be around for years.

Love the lo-mein and fried rice for non-spicy options!
