Generous portions and incredible flavors!! They gave us a complimentary fish to round out our spread which was amazing. Would love to return with more people and order even more!

Wanted an authentic Sichuan experience, and definitely got it here. I would NOT recommend ordering things extra spicy, because they are already sufficiently spicy thanks to the plethora of red chilis served with pretty much any dish. The lamb bites were delicious, the green beans were well prepared, and the beef with ginger was tender + delicious. The boiled fish in soup dish was a standout winner. Prices were a tad high but commensurate with the value and portion given. Would definitely recommend!

The best “Chinese food” (in this case, actually Szechuan) in all of LA. This place has been around for years and it’s actually gotten better since Covid. Large shareable portions, reasonable prices, great service (they even pack up your to-go), and most importantly legit awesome flavors. The green beans are a favorite, and we recently loved the cold green pepper oil chicken and veggies on skewers and tomatoes with egg. You can’t go wrong here.

Great Chinese restaurant offering authentic Sichuan cuisine. Most of the dishes are spicy so be prepared, but they taste delicious. Had to wait on Saturday for dinner but once seated the food came out quickly and service is great. The value for each dish is incredible, very affordable and huge portions. Very flavorful and filling.

Such a treasure - very appropriate for Bib Gourmand! Pickled peppers with chicken gizzards were very very tender and fresh, as how it should be in chengdu. green peppers with fresh fish was as good as the signature dish at Mountain House but at half of the price. All the dishes reminded us of home. The ice jelly was a great closure of a feast for the taste buds. The quantity was so large that we had enough left over for another meal. Great services too!

My sister has been trying to get me to try this place for a while now, and finally I made it there. There was 5 of us and we ordered 6 items, 1 white fish soup 1 eggplant 1 cucumber salad 1 lettuce salad 1 shrimp with veggies 1 crispy beef More than enough food, we could have had 6th person and would have been enough. Everything was delicious , the menu doesn't do justice to the food and the ingredients. Price was also very reasonable. Around $120 for everything. This place is great if you go with 4+ people. If you cant handle spicy food, this place is not for you.

The food was absolutely amazing! It was a flavor bomb explosion in your mouth and nothing else mattered. The restaurant is small and comfortable and lunch was affordable. I live in Los Angeles and will never buy Sichuan Cuisine here again. OMG, delicious.

Arrived there for a late dinner, and there weren’t a lot of customers. We scanned the QR Code and ordered the Cucumber Salad, Sliced Pork With Garlic Sauce, and Spicy Cumin Chicken Gristle. I’d say they were all pretty good, and I really liked the cucumber salad. We finished all the dishes. Great place to go if you wanna try out some spicy Chinese food, and I’d go back to this place to try out other dishes if possible.

Came here on a weeknight and there was no wait. There is street parking so can be difficult if it’s busy. You order from a QR code and the food gets delivered after sending it in. There are pictures so it helps with deciding what you want. Most of the food has that Szechuan spice so you will get that numbing goodness that is pretty additive. The inside has a couple of tables good for groups between 4 to 6. I highly recommend the Toothpick Lamb and Cold Noodles as they complement each other very nicely. The Kung Pao Chicken was pretty spicy but was delicious with white rice. Overall, enjoyed the food and how quickly everything came out!

Call before arriving if you’re wanting it to go. There’s not much to roam around here. Toothpick lamb - so good! Just get! Their portion was a bit smaller than I’d though but I’d still go back since it was so good! Mung bean noodle - it was a bit too soft for me. Don’t pour the entire chili oil container in. The bottom would be way too oily! Parking: parked on the side of the road.

Had a weekday lunch at Chengdu Taste with a friend I hadn’t seen in 10 years… who later blocked me over something absurd (emotional spice level: 10). Hopes were high: this place made Jonathan Gold’s Best 101, after all. I ordered the toothpick lamb with cumin and the boiled fish with green pepper sauce ($18 each), but sadly, both dishes left me more confused than satisfied. The lamb, allegedly a signature dish, didn’t wow, and the fish felt forgettable. Maybe I picked wrong. Maybe the chef took a personal day. Either way, the drama at the table was more memorable than the food. I’ll explore other SGV spots before coming back.

Okay so we were curious to try this as we are avid Sichuan fans (Sichuan Impressions, Hunan Restaurant, etc) and we ordered the coupon Sliced beef and the boiled fish in green pepper sauce. The beef came first and it was pretty damn salty, but we started eating the beef on top that hadn’t touched the chili sauce. Thennnnn the soup came 😖. HOLLY SALT. like I took one sip of the broth and my mouth literally had salt burn. I couldn’t rinse my mouth out enough. I asked them to take it back to see if maybe there was an error on it- and they came back, and we tried it again and I kid you not, it was legit maybe 10% less salty. I legit was worried about my actual kidney health. Even now as I write this- my tongue tastes all the salt all over my teeth. I gave the service a 5 because they at least comped the soup (we actually didn’t even try a piece of the fish after the first spoonful of broth made us gag). The coupon beef could be really good- in that the flavor was good- and the beef quality was great- but even that was horrifically salty. 🧂

I visited Chengdu Taste on the evening of February 8th. Although Los Angeles has many excellent Sichuan restaurants, I have been bringing my family and friends to this location for years whenever I drive to LA. Unfortunately, this time the experience was extremely disappointing. Setting aside the hygiene issue of finding a small insect in one of the dishes, what truly upset me was the service at the end of the meal. After finishing dinner, I walked to the register myself to pay, knowing the staff were busy. I also requested a few to-go boxes and offered to pack the food myself to make things easier for them. A shorter manager wearing a hat (as later confirmed by another employee) told me to leave my card at the counter and that they would process the payment and bring the receipt to me. He told me to grab the boxes myself. After packing the food for my family, I returned to the counter because I needed plastic bags. I simply stood there quietly waiting. I did not say anything, did not rush anyone, and did not show impatience. Suddenly, the manager asked me what I was standing there for and told me not to “push” them because they were busy. I calmly responded that I was not pushing anyone. He then became visibly impatient, gestured with his right hand in a dismissive motion for me to leave, and refused to communicate further. I returned to my table feeling extremely disrespected. What made this more troubling was that at the same time, this manager was actively assisting another table of young white customers with their payment and packaging. I chose to be polite and self-sufficient, and the response I received was hostility. After years of supporting this restaurant, I am deeply disappointed. I will not be returning.

This was my second time here after having a great first experience there with two males as my server. The food quality and portion was not as great as the first but what was the worst part of my experience was two female servers asking for more tip AFTER I had already paid for the bill IN FRONT OF MY GROUP. They were not attentive in serving, we had to call them many times to get their attention. I had tipped what I felt was warranted and they came back to tell me that I need to tip higher. I will not be coming back due to this experience.
