Taste Of Chengdu

Sichuan, situated in Southwest China, occupies the easternmost part of the Tibetan Plateau. Its capital city is Chengdu and its cuisine is famous for an abundant use of hot peppers. 🍚 Having recently listened to an outstanding Splendid Table (NPR) broadcast highlighting Mapo Tofu, I eagerly ordered the dish. Forgetting my only moderately developed spice tolerance, I requested a “medium” heat level. 🍚 This was easily both the hottest and the finest Chinese entrée I’ve ever consumed, and walked that fine line between intense flavor and outright pain. But what a spice this was! It came on in psychedelic layered waves, like a resplendent ballet company pirouetting with strength and grace across my lips and palate. Unbelievable.

This is the best Chinese food I’ve eaten so far! And that is saying something cause I love Chinese cuisine and have been to a lot of chinese restaurants. The traditional dishes here are like no other. Their hot pot was a treat ! It had lotus root, potatoes, chicken, beef and shrimp and the spices were just perfect. I didn’t expect much from the octopus when the dish first came out. But it was out of this world tasty! I enjoyed everything here .

An amazing spicy little restaurant that you can miss if you don't look! The food was THE best Chinese food I have had in Orlando! We decided to order things we never seen on a Chinese menu before (aka not your run of the kill dishes). Chengdu did not disappoint. We ended up having the pork dumplings, baby squid in chill sauce (cold dish) and slow cooked pork belly! (Probably the one of the best pork belly I have had). We also got the side of rice since we were more curious about the dishes. Amazing food we will be back. And if your too far from this location try their Baldwin park location next to the Publix.

Wonderful food experience. All the dishes came put promptly, service a d ordering was prompt. The flavors though, so much flavor!! If you're a Sichuan fan, thus is the place to go in Orlando. Strongly recommend the Chendu chicken, maps tofu, wonton, dumplings, spareribs. Actually, I'm sure all their dishes are good! Huge selection of foods! Service was great, kitchen and facility was clean. I wish I had one of these where I love, I'd eat here everyday.
