Chengdu Taste

Spicy tasty Chinese cuisine. If you love spicy, you might be happy here. Toothpick lamb!! Dan Dan noodles. Sometimes there is a line outside so I will call in and order to go.

Accept no imitations! The numbing sauce will make it so you feel absolutely nothing. I ate here three days ago and I still feel numb. I watched Steel Magnolias last night, which I usually need a box of tissues to get through, but this time? Nothing! No tears. "Must be the numbing sauce" said my wife. I'm afraid I've grown numb to her opinions as well. Quite frankly, I haven't felt anything since the numbing sauce. My desire to play catch with my kid has gone entirely. And I'm becoming less enthused about my twice weekly crocheting club. Once a week is enough!! Give it a rest, Beatrice! Not all of us can just sit around crocheting and hearing you talk about your grandkids nonstop. He got an A in Science? Big whoop I could do that. Gosh, Beatrice really boils my blood. I guess the numbing sauce must be wearing off. Finally! Also, plenty of parking and the service here was excellent.

Standard sit down Sichuan place where families often go. They seem to have a perpetual line out the door, since people were waiting from the time we were sat to when we left. Came with friends and it was a good time. Sichuan food was pretty good, not the best/most authentic I've ever had. For the prices, pretty good. Kung Pao chicken - delicious with rice and fairly priced. Again with not the best I've ever had, but solid. Boiled Sliced Fish in Hot Sauce - my go-to at any Sichuan restaurant. Flavor was good, but that's where I have to stop. I really did not like the texture of the fish - it felt more cartilaginous than fish texture. I've been eating this dish since I was born and this was the first time I felt like I couldn't continue eating after the first bite. Dan dan noodles - Good flavor and nice texture to the noodles. Ground meat is at the bottom, so make sure you properly mix it. Worked great for our group order so everyone could have a little bit. Sauteed shredded potato - again, been eating this since I was a kid. Pretty good, a bit sour for my liking but the potato was crisp and every piece was evenly cooked. Great for breaking up the mala flavor between every bite. We ordered 3 bowls of white rice to eat with our meal, and they ended up giving it to us all at once in a larger pot. Generally, good flavors. I would come back with a group and avoid the boiled sliced fish in hot sauce / shui zhu yu.
