Sichuan Garden situated near Brookline Village has great Sichuan food. It proclaims itself to have been voted top 100 Chinese restaurants. I have gone on a few occasions and found it to be tasty.
This time I was friends for dinner and we got the cucumber with bamboo shoots (inside) in a light sauce. The cucumber dish was ery tasty and on the Chinese language menu so you have to ask. The bamboo shoots inside is white and spongy like but good. The dan dan noodles were tasty with chilies and five spice and great flavor. We opted for the braised fish with tofu which was spicy and flavorful. The Chengdu chicken was fried but not every greasy and tasted surprising light but delicious. We also got the garlicky spicy Chinese eggplant stir fry which was great.
There was a stream of people on a Sunday night. The staff was helpful and friendly. We got our water refilled and whenever we wanted something or if we had a question, we always had someone able to answer our question. I really enjoyed the sichuan cuisine at this restaurant.

**Confusing with Pin Yin and Wade Giles you will see Sichuan/Szechuan spellings all mean the same thing.
