Chengdu Taste Seattle

The sichuan food here had us all craving more. I loved the notes of numbing pepper in every dish. The standout dish for us was the spring onion chicken in pepper sauce. While traditionally, the sauce is used as a dipping sauce and there is always never enough for the amount of chicken served, this restaurant flips that notion on its head and serves the chicken drowned in the sauce and I love it. There’s numbing pepper in here as well and we found ourselves adding this oil/sauce onto almost every other dish. The cumin lamb on toothpicks were perfectly tender and chewy and so so flavorful. Definitely a must try if you love cumin lamb. The boiled fish was a bit different than I expected but it was a pleasant dish to round out the spiciness of everything else. I wasn’t a huge fan of the spicy popcorn chicken but it definitely had an aura of better quality. I personally preferred the oily spiciness in the way that other sichuan restaurants do it. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Can’t wait to take my friends and family here

Beware that this place is SPICY! The food is really good if you can stomach it. The spice is rated out of 5, and the mapo tofu was a 2 and it was just the right amount of sichuan heat. The depth of flavor is really rare from my experience with mapo tofu - this place did not disappoint. The mung bean noodles were fun but kind of lacked flavor overall. Fried rice was legit. Would love to try other things on the menu.

The Lao Chengdu spicy lamb and garlic short ribs were delicious. The surprises were the gridded beef with mixed vegetables and King pao shrimps, which was incredibly good. Cant get better than this!!! 5 stars!!

The takeout I ordered included a portion of stir-fried pork, which was the worst I've ever had. Not only was it bad tasting, but it was also full of fatty meat. And for the 爆炒鸡脆骨, it was just potato chips and deep-fried chicken breast.

My favorite Sichuan restaurant in Seattle. Love coming here for date nights or with large groups. We always try new dishes and some of our favorites include the mung bean jelly noodles, mapo tofu, toothpick lamb with cumin, and the pork hock.
