Grand mariner jumbo shrimps were also delicious, served with fresh veggies and white rice. Prices are not too high but I’d say higher than average prices on Asian food in Framingham. Definitely coming back!"

Another reviewer shares, "The dining experience was quite good. Dishes came fast after order, at around 5-10 mins. The waitress gave us tea and water without order. We visited at around 9 p.m. the restaurant was still packed with diners, mostly Indian; the waitress are busy serving different tables. Therefore, I would say the waitress can provide the basic service but not the wonderful one and the food are quite good. You can have a try if you want to try some Sichuan Gourmet for the first time, but not the second time."
