A gem in Ucity! The service was friendly, food was great, and the open kitchen concept was an additional treat! The mild spice was just right and each dish was fragrant and exploding with flavor. Chef Z’s pork dumplings were the best we’ve had in the city! The chicken dry pot was perfectly prepared and presented. Lastly, the garlic purée on top of the cucumber appetizer was *chef’s kiss.* would 10/10 recommend!

A friend calls it the only Sichuan/Szechuan restaurant that can survive in Beijing for a month. That really hyped up my expectation. In my humble view, Forever out on Henderson does every dish we ordered better. While most were quite okay, the fish fillet in sour and spicy savory sauce was a big disappointment for me. The Fish-fragrant eggplant was also quite off the mark. But I believe the famed chef has a few tricks up his sleeve. I’ve got to come back and try other dishes. The place has a lot going for it. The deep open kitchen is impressive and the cool panda-packed walls are fun. Will update if I ever make it back here.

I bookmarked this place because I wanted to try out some new Szechuan food. And since I’m around the area, my friend and I decided to try this place out. First impression of the place is, it’s small. Definitely a family owned business, one of those mom and pop shop kinda restaurants. The price seems slightly high for such a small store but probably because it’s close by or around University City. But overall, their food does taste pretty good, not bad if you into Szechuan and spicy food.

I’m pretty obsessed with the food here. Everything is so genuinely spicy and delicious that it reminds me of all the good eats from my childhood. As a Sichuan native, I can attest that the flavors here are about as authentic as it gets outside of China. I’ve been here twice thus far and even though there are still many menu items I’ve yet to try, I’ve loved everything and always look forward to trying more. The ignite noodles are one of my favs! I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the mood for delicious, authentic Sichuan flavors.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! I enjoy every meal I purchase from Chengdu. It’s great that you can now request the level of spiciness you desire. They prepare the most flavorful food.

Best Sichuan food in Philly! I love that you can order from a QR code on the table. Wontons in chili oil were so good and I can’t stop thinking about the Chinese hamburger I had here.

This place is not worth your money at all. Go to any shop in Chinatown and eat more authentic food for less.

Great dine in experience! Quick service, delicious, and (according to my Mom who lived in Chengdu for several years) really authentic food! The fish really impressed me with how crunchy it was, meaning it much have been freshly fried. Some dishes fell too sweet for my taste but all were perfectly and incredibly spicy. Not to mention the staff were really kind.

Really delicious Sichuan food. My partner said the garlic eggplant was the best eggplant she has had outside of China. The Mapo tofu was also really good. Lots of good vegetarian options and good portion sizes too. Ordered everything spicy which was the middle option and it felt like just the right amount of heat. Definitely want to go back and try more options. The Mala dry pot was great too and the added homemade noodles were perfect. Definitely a hidden gem of a place. Also order directly from their site to get a discount.
