Streetfood Revolution

When I came here, I was so excited to try authentic Chinese street food. Instead, I was served food that belong on the street. It was the most disappointing $125 we have ever spent. The food was beyond salty. It was the kind of salty that even rice could not fix. If I knew I was going to be served that, I would rather have taken a sip out of the ocean for FREE. Despite the salt, my party did not want to waste the food, and so we ate on. I pray for their kidneys. It took me 3 cups of water to finish half of the food. Even still, my body was aching and dehydrated - Shell City might have been a better name for this place. The food left me feeling like Spongebob when he tried to bring back King Neptune's crown. WaTeR... wAtEr...Anyways, I do not recommend this place.

First time here and ordered on chowbus. The spicy boiled hotpot was very delicious! You can select what you want to put in, which is convenient since you can just select your favs. The stripe potatoes dish was just okay probably Bc it wasn't that crispy anymore after being in a takeout box.

Streetfood Revolution is delicious. The best menu item I've tried is the spicy chicken cubes. During the pandemic, I call to order and pick it up -- I usually just order the chicken cubes and have it with some home-cooked vegetables and rice. Their dry pot is also very good. Everything is delightfully spicy and savory -- all the good flavors. The chili crab varies in quality since they have different types of crabs depending on the season. Streetfood Revolution is my go-to for Allston takeout food, matched only by BBQ chicken. I'm excited to dine in again as well eventually!

First thing, place is sorta dark inside. I see some recessed lighting that's not on, so I'm not sure if its broken or just off. They give you a menu and piece of ordering paper with pencil. You just tick off the dish you want. There's no number reference on the tick sheet so was awkward to compare against the picture menu. FoodWave Potato (2/5) mandarin style french fries - wasn't a big fan of this dish. Pretty heavy on cumin spice and salty so was hard to really get what the uniqueness of this app was. I'd skip this app if you were eating here first time as it wasn't very impressive. Pork bone pot soup (4/5) super spot on! loved the deep pork flavor of soup. The bones were thick and had some meat on it. Not much meat but enough to chew on. The best part was the bone marrow that you can just scoop out with chopsticks. Pretty flavorful in good. At $14 though, i thought it was expensive for the portion. Sticky rice (1/5) pretty greasy and didn't taste that good. It was pretty bland and the "bread' was essentially fried though. No flavor and was overall a disappointing dish. No worth it. Overall the pot soup was the only redeeming feature here.

I was really excited about this restaurant especially since it promised authentic Chinese food and they really delivered! I don't read Chinese and the menu didn't have photos so we were a little lost and had no idea where to start. The waiter was really patient with us and was able to describe pretty much everything on the menu.We ended up getting the SFR spicy bowl where you can add different types of meats and veggies for additional costs. We got beef, sprouts, and enoki (the stringy long mushrooms) which were all good choices, but I wish we had gotten more filling like another meat choice and potatoes since there was so much sauce. I usually can't handle spiciness, but this bowl was hot but not extremely spicy like the waiter described.We also got rice in soup and legend tofu which both had milder tastes but both smooth and delicious as well. Other people in the restaurant (we came Wednesday and there were a good amount of people there considering it had just opened early March) ordered the dry pots which range between $27-29 and they're huge! They could probably feed about 3-4 people or 2 people with enough for leftovers. It looked like a mixed of veggies and meats (they offered squid, chicken, and rib) so I'd really like to try that next time.The place itself has 2-3 sections but seats a good amount of people, maybe about 50. Really good location in Allston around many other restaurants too.

Excellent food, well prepared. Nothing middling about these guys, although the decor is déclassé.. cheap furnishing, uneven flooring, wobbly tables... great food! Had cumin lamb, a house fried rice, green beans with minced pork, and chicken breastbone cartilage! This is an absolute crunchy delight here or at my fav Japanese izikaya... the food had a deft touch. Should be on The Roster and a part of every Szechuan foodies rotation of places... go!

Been meaning to try since I started commuting past here every day, and so glad I finally did. Another authentic Chinese to add to my short list in the area.I was impressed by the speed with which they accommodated my take out order, and thrilled when I got home with the BEST spicy fish fillet I have had. (Also, well-packaged. Didn't spill a drop even though I transported it tied to the back of my bike.) Crispy chicken chunks and dry-cooked noodles were also delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes. (But will absolutely get the fish every time!)

Went here for a quick Sunday lunch with a group of friends and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food - they've gone better since our last visit more than a year ago! Street Food Revolution is considered one of the more authentic Sichuan restaurant in Boston and around, one can easily tell by observing the customers eating here.The menu is fairly broad, ranging from the typical pick your own Mala Pot, sichuan-style skewers, and a number of appetizers and entreés. We opted for a spread from their menu: Fish Mala Pot, which we wished had less veggie but has good flavor, Chicken Cartilage (great seasoning!), Double Cooked Pork Belly, The Century Egg with Sesame Sauce, fried rice with pork floss on top, and stir fry napa cabbage. All dishes were appropriately portioned and very filling. It's best to come here with a group of friends so you have some stomach real estate and share a mala pot, accompanied with few adventurous appetizers! Is it the best Sichuan restaurant in the area? That is debatable. However, my friends & I were happy to see how much they've improved this past year. Will stop by again sometime!

The name of the restaurant brought me here. Street food revolution sounds like something I would try especially coming back from Asia a few months ago. It's a misconception because when I think of street food, it's the small portioned and inexpensive type of food. So in this restaurant, street food revolved into this:We ordered the dry chicken pot, stinky egg, and dry spicy noodles. The only thing I really liked was the stinky egg but isn't there a better name for this on the menu? Doesn't sound appetizing.We ordered the dry chicken pot because that's one of their signature dishes. It's a huge catering tray that is kept warm underneath but it isn't worth $30. It's overpriced.Dry spicy noodles is just spaghetti pasta with hot oil. Nothing special. In fact, all 3 dishes we ordered had the same type of hot oil and/or Szechuan peppers. I looked around and it seems like every dish is the same type of spicy seasoning. The hot oil and peppers.

Stupid food delivery in Chowbus. Never give the exact amount of ham. I've ordered takeouts for several years in this restaurant. More then ten times they did not sent the correct number of ham in Spicy Bowl. They don't even print the number of items in that. Food is good, service sucks.
