Sichuan dishes with real numbing heat—mapo tofu and toothpick lamb are standouts. Servers will warn you about spice levels if you ask. Interior is simple and clean. Good for groups willing to share plates. Parking in the plaza can be chaotic at dinner

Generous portions and incredible flavors!! They gave us a complimentary fish to round out our spread which was amazing. Would love to return with more people and order even more!

Terrible place open to gimmicky influencers. We were neglected for a group of random people. Don’t go there!

I can’t believe I’ve never posted a review on THE Chengdu Taste! It’s beyond!!! 🍲 You can’t miss no matter what you order, I’ve literally never got disappointed in trying out new dishes at Chengdu Taste. This Michellin awarded restaurant sure plays a big role in putting some pounds on me but I’ll take it! 👫 I love the team at Chengdu Taste, they all are wonderful, helpful and observing. 🌶️ Spicy but yummy, so enjoy the kick! Also the team double check with the spice levels. I wished I lived nearby so that I can come every other day!!! PS: can we please bring back the spicy soup noodles…

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. After eating at Chengdu Taste, both of us got sick with diarrhea. We called the restaurant the next day to inform them — not to argue, but to raise awareness.
Instead of showing any concern, the staff were incredibly rude and defensive. They kept questioning us and immediately claimed it couldn’t be their food. There was zero accountability and absolutely no courtesy.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Between the food safety issue and the unacceptable customer service, we will never go back — and I strongly recommend others think twice.

Really good, spicy food. Love the beef with cilantro and pickled pepper, the eggplant, and the pork hock. Received a complimentary dessert because got an order wrong—very responsible people!

The best “Chinese food” (in this case, actually Szechuan) in all of LA. This place has been around for years and it’s actually gotten better since Covid. Large shareable portions, reasonable prices, great service (they even pack up your to-go), and most importantly legit awesome flavors. The green beans are a favorite, and we recently loved the cold green pepper oil chicken and veggies on skewers and tomatoes with egg. You can’t go wrong here.

Great food with a cozy vibe! The service was friendly, and the menu had a nice variety. I especially loved the pasta dish; it was cooked to perfection. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit!

I got the cumin lamb and tan tan noodles. Both were spicy and yummy. Service was fast and respectful. Recommend.
Wanted an authentic Sichuan experience, and definitely got it here. I would NOT recommend ordering things extra spicy, because they are already sufficiently spicy thanks to the plethora of red chilis served with pretty much any dish.
The lamb bites were delicious, the green beans were well prepared, and the beef with ginger was tender + delicious. The boiled fish in soup dish was a standout winner. Prices were a tad high but commensurate with the value and portion given.
Would definitely recommend!

Great Chinese restaurant offering authentic Sichuan cuisine. Most of the dishes are spicy so be prepared, but they taste delicious. Had to wait on Saturday for dinner but once seated the food came out quickly and service is great. The value for each dish is incredible, very affordable and huge portions. Very flavorful and filling.

Chengdu Taste is a staple place in the area to get Sichuan food. I visited on a Saturday, when they are open all day. There was plenty of free street parking directly in front of the restaurant. During the weekdays, they close between 2:30-5 PM.
Ordering is done on their tablet or you can scan the QR code on your phone. Using different devices to order is fine. Rice is ordered individually at $1.50/bowl, but they served it all into one red rice pot. (We had a party of five.) When we asked for more rice, they happily obliged.
The following dishes were solid and well-liked by the entire group: -twice cooked pork -dry pot vegetables -fried intestines -water boiled fish
We also had the beef with cumin, but this was not spicy. It also came out last, and we ended up boxing the leftovers.
The server spoke English. There were bathrooms in the back. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

Such a treasure - very appropriate for Bib Gourmand! Pickled peppers with chicken gizzards were very very tender and fresh, as how it should be in chengdu. green peppers with fresh fish was as good as the signature dish at Mountain House but at half of the price. All the dishes reminded us of home. The ice jelly was a great closure of a feast for the taste buds. The quantity was so large that we had enough left over for another meal. Great services too!
