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.

Tasty!

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!

Everything tasted great! My favorite was boiled fish in green pepper.
Plenty of street parking. Waited for 15-20 mins when we arrived at around 7pm on Saturday.

I live to travel

This place is a classic and one of the first to bring sichuan. I ordered something new, grassfish in red chilis and it was well cooked but grassfish is super chewy. I would not recommend it if you are not used to it. Grassfish is asian carp. I enjoy fish more at Tai er. In general, this place is great, just didn’t order the right items.
