We order takeout from here very often. Highly recommend: Yangzhou Fried Rice, Shui Zhu Yu, Niu Nan Bao, and Chicken/Beef and Broccoli :) A bit on the salty side but nothing that is overly salty. Likely the best Chinese restaurant in the suburb area here. Less expensive than Dan Dan and makes better Shui Zhu Yu (aka spicy water boiled fish).

Small Chinese restaurant which offers some of the typical dishes any Chinese Takeout would have. But also offers a specials and chef's choices menu with more interesting options. Quality of food is good. Service is to the point' not unfriendly but also not overly engaging. However, food comes out fast and never had any issues with special orders or customizations, everything was prepared as asked. Perfect place for an above average meal with not too much time to spare.

I came here with a group of coworkers when traveling for work based off of a recommendation. We all shared everything we got which is the best way to do it in my opinion. We got dumplings in chili sauce, wontons in spicy sauce, Dan Dan noodles, egg rolls, and scallion pancakes for appetizers. For entrees, we got hot sauce style chicken, cumin style lamb, garlic sauce style pork, hot pot style beef, dry chili pepper style shrimp, scallion style fish. Everything was really good. My favorites were the scallion pancakes, Dan Dan noodles, garlic style pork, hot pot style beef, and dry chili pepper style shrimp. The spice levels aren't for the faint of heart, but they can be adjusted. We left them as is and the 8s were very spicy. I think the service could have been a little better. They weren't great about refilling our water and it took a long time to get our bill. We told them before we ordered that we wanted separate checks and they said that was fine, but then when the bill came, they wouldn't split it and would only let us use two credit cards. I really enjoyed the food. Just make sure to have alternative ways of splitting the bill if you need to.

My wife and I were here for lunch earlier today and we enjoyed our dining experience. We had recently been to another restaurant serving Schezuan restaurant in the area (Pin Wei) and were unpleasantly surprised at the sheer spiciness of their food, so we were a lot more careful here. That caution may have been unwarranted because we went up to items marked 8 on the spice level (varies from 1-10) and could handle even those items reasonably well. But more on that later. The other comment besides our caution was the large number of Asian patrons coming to the restaurant. If one seeks Asian folks frequenting an Asian restaurant as a marker for authenticity, Cheng Du certainly met that test and with flying colors. Back to the food. This is what we ordered for the two of us: a scallion pancake for appetizers, and sichuan style chicken lo mein, pork with chilli green peppers, and hot pot style shrimp for our main course. The scallion pancakes were not impressive but one nice feature was that it had been cut up making it a bit more convenient to eat. All three items that we ordered for our main course were enjoyable. The pork with chilli green peppers was a 6 on the spice level and the lo mein was 5 and for both items, I found it best to add a sprinkling of their chili oil. The hot pot style shrimp at 8 was at the spice level I expect of Schezuan food and manageable for both of us. Besides the shrimp, there was a fair amount of veggies in it, which my wife always enjoys. In terms of portion size, what we got was too much food for the two of us and we took home about half the noodles and the hot pot shrimp even though we were both fairly hungry as we came in to the restaurant. Service was fine without being exceptional. We requested forks as we aren't quite proficient in the use of chopsticks. We were also served a pot of hot tea as we entered and on a cold January afternoon, that is always welcome. Bottomline is that we enjoyed our dining experience and if we were in the area, we would certainly consider coming back here again.

Had their eggplant in garlic sauce. If I underestimate eggplant, try this, because I used to underestimate this. This one is so flavorful!!!! A mix of sweet and sour and a tamarindish taste. Had their hotpot beef. Good quality of beef and spicy flavor. Their is soup is thick and laden with egg and tofu.
