Taste of ChengDu

This review is mainly focused on the food since we only ordered take out so far, and I always went to pick it up. The food is fantastic, it's hard to find authentic Szechuan food and locally this is the best option thus far.  The food is not overly greasy as it usually can be with this theme of food, we ordered a few times and usually choose different things off the menu and it's always been a great experience. The staff is friendly, the location is clean and large.  There are two entrances in the back and front, with plenty of parking in the back. I'm looking forward to dining in and will update my review after doing so.  The decor is beautiful and I expect their friendliness and professionalism to extend when my whole family visits next time.

Visited ChengDu recently for dinner and had a pleasant evening. Ordered a variety of Dim Sum to start and various dishes to share. All the dishes were nicely made, and the Dim Sum tasted fresh. The Peking Duck was pretty good and even had some to take home. Our waitress was very nice and friendly and came to the table often to check on us. They also have a lot of space and can accommodate large groups. If it's a concern, there's plenty of parking in the rear of the establishment. For me, that's a big plus. The restaurant is comparable to other authentic Chinese, I think. You wouldn't need to travel to Queens or China Town? All in all, we had a great experience, and we enjoyed our meal here at ChengDu at Franklin Square, NY. I have to say one thing, though: maybe settle down on the upselling. This can change the whole dining experience and can become one that is negative. I would come back and try the other dishes.

On the hunt for a good Sichuan/Szechuan place I decided to drive out of my comfort zone and try a new spot where I normally would not go. I have to say it was worth it. When we first arrived it was earlier than my preferred dinner time and the place had only 2 tables with customers. That concerned me but that concern was quickly dispelled. The waitress/hostess greeted us and we were promptly seated. Large fried egg noodles and duck sauce were immediately brought to the table and our chosen drinks quickly followed. The menu has a broad range of choices so you can satisfy multiple cravings easily. The egg roll was nicely prepared and moderately above average. The crab dumplings were good but fishy on purpose I guess to reassure customers that the crab is real and not imitation. The wontons in spicy chili oil were delicious and reminiscent of one of my go to spots in Flushing. The house special fried rice was well prepared, delicious and plentiful. The garlic chicken was abundant for two and delicious. Altogether this place is worth checking out and I will return.

Conveniently located on Hempstead Turnpike in Franklin Square, ChengDu serves up a delicious meal. We started with an order of dumplings. We tried the steamed chicken as well as sauteed pork and chives. Both were tasty and prepared well. The egg rolls were crispy and held to traditional flavors. We missed being served a bowl of crispy noodles usually found elsewhere. We enjoyed their Pork Fried Rice and Mongolian Beef. The rice was a wonderful fluffy mix of sauteed pork, onion, and egg. The Mongolian beef was delicious. The flank steak was seared, tender, and bathed in a mild spicy sauce of ginger, garlic, onion, and red chilis. We enjoyed a pot of Jasmin tea along with a decadent slice of Chocolate Mousse Cake. The dining room atmosphere is pleasing and the table space is ample.

Excellent Lunch. The Generals chicken was great, which was all white meat and the Pork Fried Rice was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.
