This was my second time here after having a great first experience there with two males as my server. The food quality and portion was not as great as the first but what was the worst part of my experience was two female servers asking for more tip AFTER I had already paid for the bill IN FRONT OF MY GROUP. They were not attentive in serving, we had to call them many times to get their attention. I had tipped what I felt was warranted and they came back to tell me that I need to tip higher. I will not be coming back due to this experience.

We preordered ahead, but when we arrived the restaurant said they couldn’t prepare our order on time. The waiter was rude and told us to cancel the order. Very unprofessional and disappointing experience.

The food was absolutely amazing! It was a flavor bomb explosion in your mouth and nothing else mattered. The restaurant is small and comfortable and lunch was affordable. I live in Los Angeles and will never buy Sichuan Cuisine here again. OMG, delicious.

Had a weekday lunch at Chengdu Taste with a friend I hadn’t seen in 10 years… who later blocked me over something absurd (emotional spice level: 10). Hopes were high: this place made Jonathan Gold’s Best 101, after all. I ordered the toothpick lamb with cumin and the boiled fish with green pepper sauce ($18 each), but sadly, both dishes left me more confused than satisfied. The lamb, allegedly a signature dish, didn’t wow, and the fish felt forgettable. Maybe I picked wrong. Maybe the chef took a personal day. Either way, the drama at the table was more memorable than the food. I’ll explore other SGV spots before coming back.

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.
