Sichuan Gourmet Billerica

Sichuan Gourmet in Billerica is the original location in what's becoming an empire with three other locations in Mass. They are doing so well that they stopped serving from the lunch menu on Fridays. Service is excellent, frequent refills of your water glass and that is needed since if they say spicy they are not lying.

You get a small bowl with pickled veggies as soon as you sit down that is delicious.

Today's lunch choice was Spare Ribs Noodle Soup. Pork ribs and Bok Choy in a rich dark broth with a hint of heat infused in it. If you look closely you can see the redness on the sides of the bowl. Excellent and perfectly cooked noodles are underneath all that goodness.

Small place and not very busy today, usually it's best to get here before noon or closer to one to get seated.

The thought of the Day.

It's just off Rte 3A and getting here from Woburn is a pain since I really hate Rte 3A because it can't make up its mind if it's one lane or two lanes and neither can the drivers. The fact, it's only one lane unless otherwise marked and if you overtake traffic you will get a ticket for "Failure to keep right". I just take Rte 3 and then cut across and you end up 50 yards to the north.
