Excellent food. Great genuinely nice staff. Food tends to be a little salty.

Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening at 5PM and was promptly seated. There is an upper floor to the restaurant for large groups that can be reserved. We had a small group of 3 and ordered several dishes to share. They were all a hit!
5/5 Szechuan chicken cold noodles was refreshing and had the perfect amount of spicy, savory, and texture.
5/5 Mapo tofu with minced beef was perfectly seasoned. Not too overpowering with spice or too salty. Tofu was the right texture because it held its shape well and did not disintegrate. So tasty with rice.
5/5 Dry fried diced chicken with chili and garlic is my favorite Szechuan dish. The chicken was perfectly fried and complimented the seasoning well. Spices was just right.
4/5 Stir-fried seasonal vegetables was baby bok choy with garlic. Texture was crispy and not too soggy. A nice refresher to accompany the spicy dishes.
Highly recommended for a visit if you're craving something spicy and savory.

The lunch special here is such a great deal! The food is absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were way better than I expected. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're looking for good food at a great price!

Booked a VIP room for our holiday dinner, and it was amazing! The style and decoration are so elegant—it really added to the festive vibe. Add the amazing Sichuan food, and it’s a 10/10 experience.

Chengdu Impression is the perfect spot for holiday hangouts! The VIP rooms are super stylish, and they even have karaoke on the patio—so fun!

Excellent Chinese food with a modern twist. We had the alumni get together in a big dining room that can seat 24 ppl. They can also accommodate karaoke!
We ordered all kinds of meat, seafood, soup and appetizers. The lobster, fatty duck and sweet and sour fish are must-haves!

One of the top Chinese meals I have had. ????Those Szechuan peppercorns? did their magic on my taste buds. ?Lots of garlic. Ordered the lunch for two because it was much cheaper than ordering the dishes individually. I have about half as leftovers. The cold royal jelly noodles in chili oil was a great way to start. Refreshing and zippy. Beef and tofu in chili oil was also excellent. Big tender pieces of beef. The wok fried pork belly was probably my favorite, very spicy and fresh/vibrant. finally, the bok choy with lots of garlic was also very good. excellent service, friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place.

After having a very bad experience at Sichuan Impression, which had been one of my favorite restaurants for many years, we decided to switch our go-to Sichuan restaurant. Chengdu Impression offers authentic, classic Chengdu cuisine—it's not modified for American tastes.
Be cautious with the spice level, especially with the cold dishes. They are spicier than usual, even compared to Chengdu's local standards. The numbing sensation (numbing spice) isn't as strong as I would have liked.
Overall, it's a good restaurant with classic, straightforward cooking—nothing fancy. If you're looking for traditional Sichuan flavors, this place is worth a try.
酸辣凉粉 Hot & Sour Jelly Noodle - $12.99 The texture was excellent, with a perfect balance between softness and firmness. It was spicier than average, with a good flavor and the strong fragrance of Sichuan red oil. 8/10
青椒拌茄子 Eggplant in Green Pepper Sauce - $12.99 It was acceptable, but the eggplant wasn't as good as what you'd typically find in China. 7/10
夫妻肺片 Sliced Beef & Beef Tripe in Chili Sauce - $23.99 Very spicy, with the beef and tripe sliced thinly to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. 8/10
仔薑田雞 Stewed Bullfrogs in Spicy Ginger Broth - $36.99 There was an unpleasant smell, likely because the bullfrogs were frozen, not fresh. The ginger flavor was barely noticeable. Not recommended. 0/10
家常豆瓣鱸魚 Whole Bass with Spicy Bean Paste Sauce - $48.99 The taste was excellent, textbook-level cooking with a mild spice level. It was very good, though a bit on the expensive side. 9/10
油渣蓮白 Wok-Fried Cabbage with Crispy Lard - $15.99 The "crispy lard" had too much meat and wasn't the usual golden color. The stir-fry didn't have enough heat, which resulted in a lack of 鑊氣 (wok hei). 4/10
蒜香辣子雞 Dry Fried Diced Chicken with Chili and Garlic - $22.99 Very good. There are two types of fried diced chicken: dry and wet. This restaurant used the dry method, frying with corn/tomato starch, which gave the dish a great texture—crispy but not hard. The flavor was well-balanced too. 9/10
回鍋肉 Double-Cooked Pork Belly with Bean Paste Sauce - $22.99 I'm not sure why they called it “Double-Cooked”—the name seemed a bit off. Normally, this dish doesn't use pork belly, but more and more restaurants, especially outside China, are opting for it. Pork belly does taste better, and the addition of garlic leaves was a nice highlight. 8/10
鐵鍋小炒肥腸 Wok-Fried Pork Intestine with Chili - $22.99 What a brilliant idea to cook pork intestine with rice cake! I'm familiar with combining two traditionally unrelated foods, but I would have never imagined pairing rice cake and intestine. It's just those two ingredients—nothing else—but the taste was amazing. The intestines were soft, and the rice cakes were soft too, but in a different way. Really good. 8/10
麻婆豆腐 Mapo Tofu (with minced beef) - $16.99 Very classic texture and flavor, with no noticeable drawbacks. However, I couldn't really taste the minced beef. 8/10
蘿蔔燉牛肋條 Beef Rib Finger & White Radish Soup - $28.99 The best dish of the night. The beef was incredibly tender and juicy, without the typical overcooked texture of long-stewed meat. 10/10
紅糖冰粉 Iced Jelly with Brown Sugar Syrup - $5.99/each The best compliment for a dessert in Chinese cuisine is that it's not too sweet. This one definitely lives up to that standard. 8/10

Love how they label the different spicy levels! We have a large group and not everyone’s good with spicy, but they have a good amount of non-spicy options as well, like the honey glazed roasted duck, my nephew enjoyed it a lot！

Checked out Chengdu Impression after seeing the student discount, and wow! ? Tried their new Braised Wild Duck in Soy Sauce with Chilli—it was SO good! And the wagyu fried rice too! Definitely coming back!
