Chengdu Impression Wicker Park 成都印象

Order wasn’t ready for 45 minutes past pickup time. Two out of three items I ordered were cold by the time I sat down to eat. Wait staff were not friendly and not accommodating for delay for the order.

Chengdu Impression in Wicker Park is a standout for authentic Sichuan cuisine! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The dishes are packed with bold flavors and the perfect balance of spice and depth. Highlights include their mouthwatering spicy hot pot, dim sum, tender mapo tofu, and the addictive dan dan noodles along with dry chengdu chili chicken. The spice level can be adjusted to your preference, but even the mild options deliver incredible flavor. Service is friendly and efficient, and the food arrives fresh and fast. If you’re craving true Sichuan flavors in Chicago, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommended!

Great food, no frills service but they get it done. Ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, spicy pepper chicken, and string beans. Would definitely recommend.

Worst place to order for delivery they take so long.

Comfort Chinese food that’s authentic and large in portion size. Spice level was good and tasty! Casual interior atmosphere for a chill dinner.

Very solid Chinese with an extensive menu. Eating in was fairly quiet, dishes were well plated and came fairly quickly.

Spices were great, a good blend without going overboard though it may be a bit much if you have low spice tolerances.

This location is also BYOB as well.

Chengdu is our goto for Szechuan in Wicker Park. Whether we eat there or do takeout they always deliver in taste. Outside of their spicy treats, they also make great soup dumplings.

Ordered two entrees online for pickup. Says each entree comes with a side of white rice, but was disappointed to see that our order did not have any rice when we got home. Good food but frustrating to be missing half of our order.

The food isn't as good as it used to be. The dry chili chicken, once our favorite, didn’t taste fresh and lacked flavor, with an odd fishy hint. The freshness and quality have really declined.

Jesus christ everything was great.

My favorite part about this place was the environment and the fast, friendly service. I wish it was posted somewhere that it was BYOB so I would have come in with wine or beer but the only reason that I found out is because there are stickers on the menu where the alcoholic drinks are saying sold out.
The food was great in flavor and the portions are great as well but the only problem I had was that there are huge pieces of ginger in the food. Both the veggie fried rice and the chicken dish had a lot of ginger. I tried the egg rolls which are not pictured but those were good. I do like that they serve meals with a side of white rice. Our bill was $60 with the tip but we only drank water.

Have always had good meals here, but I tried the Chengdu Style Dry Chili Chicken this order. I ordered bone in, but was not expecting the tiny micro bones throughout the dish. Made it very difficult to eat. Recommend boneless or be prepared to break a tooth.
