Food was oversalted to the point that I couldn’t eat much of it. I went there with two friends for my birthday. What a disappointment. It was bad. The person who took our order was not helpful and didn’t know the menu.

Such a lovely Chinese lady here—she’s always super nice and helpful every time we come. She even gives us little treats sometimes! The food is also super authentic and delicious. Love this place!

I’ve been coming to Chengdu Famous Food regularly—it truly feels like my second dining hall. The food is made by authentic chefs and aunties from Sichuan, and it shows: every dish is bursting with flavor, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly fair.
What really sets this place apart is the warmth of the service. Every staff member is kind, attentive, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that tastes like home and treats you like family.
If you're craving real Sichuan food near Penn or Drexel, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

We ordered online but no one delivers the food. We waited for one and a half hours. It’s a cold winter and we are starving to death. We called but they just repeated the driver was on the way and at last no one answered the phone. Pls choose a reliable delivery platform and do not take orders if you are not ready.

Staff the counter has more attitude towards customers and less knowledge.

Food is good but pricy asking to pay extra even for a 2oz soy sauce.

When I came in, the waitress told me to sit wherever. They are not busy at all. Then an old lady came out and told me I can’t sit in this table, because they have a 4 people coming for this table. The table has no sign of reservation of course. I looked around and see two other 4 people table with only two people occupied. There is literally another 4-seat table available. I told the old lady that and she just repeated I need to move seats. For such service, I have no reason to stay. Every time I came to this place the service is bad and this time it is just outrageously bad. The ventilation of this place is awful too. Avoid at all cost.

Food is good, while the staff is terrible. This was my favorite Chinese food restaurant in the university city, now I won’t come here again, nor recommend it to my friend.

White boy at counter forgot to pack utensils for take-out. Can’t do a simpleton’s job. Wouldn’t apologize when I had to walk back.

I’ve ordered from here several times and have gotten their Dan Dan noodles and dumplings.
Recently their chef changed and the quality of food has declined. Both my partner and I got food poisoning from our last visit. Will not be patronizing this place anymore.

I LOVE Sichuan food, particularly dry pepper tofu dishes. I gotten them from many, many places. This is honestly the worst one I’ve ever had. Unfortunately I couldn’t eat it at all and it was over $20 wasted. It was all Sichuan peppercorn, I literally couldn’t taste anything else. There was no balance in the flavors, just the numbing flavor of the peppercorn. I ordered it spicy but got no actual heat, just peppercorn. There were chunks of garlic in it and a lot of chilis, usually a good sign, but I literally could not taste any of it. I’m not sure if the cook accidentally dumped too much in, and just went with it, because I have truly never had anything like it. I’m extremely disappointed because I had heard good things.
