A longtime Chinese restaurant known in part for its buffet has shut down, and an auction is soon slated to take place there.
According to a source, Sichuan's Garden in Waltham is now closed, with a Facebook post within the Bring Retail to Waltham group page showing (via Anthony Susi and The Boston Herald) a notice of an auction scheduled on the premises on January 27. The notice also indicates that the Waverley Oaks Road restaurant has shuttered because the owner is retiring, though it isn't yet known what might be going into the space at this point in time.
Sichuan's Garden first opened in 1995, offering an all-you-can-eat buffet along with a la carte menu items that included mostly Chinese-American fare.
The address for the now-closed Sichuan's Garden was 411 Waverley Oaks Road (Suite 109), Waltham, MA, 02452.
[January 21 update: A post within the E.F. Smith site indicates that the Sichuan's Garden auction has been canceled, though no reason has been given for the cancellation as of yet.]
