Went with a large group (14 people). The restaurant was well accommodating for a family style dinner. Den den noodles were well liked by everyone. Staff were very gracious and kind. Would highly recommend trying for Szechuan style Chinese food. Expect it to be spicy!

I placed my order and the post said it was delivered and it wasn't. I had to go through GubHub to order. I was still looking forward to trying a new place

One of the best meals of my life. On recommendation from friends, we ordered the Sijwan fish, cucumber appetizer, green beans with grape leaves, and fried pumpkin cakes for dessert. I also got the wontons in red sesame oil on my own choosing. All of it was otherworldly. If I lived closer I would go down the menu and order everything once. And I live in Boston and have spent 20 years eating in Chinatown. Totally blown away by Chengdu Taste. Six enthusiastic stars.

Great food! I love the crispy beef, cold sesame noodles and the braised fish fillet w/nappa cabbage with roasted chilis. The rice is flavorful and fluffy. I wasn't a huge fan of the Chongqing Diced Chicken W Hot Chili Peppercorn but that's just a personal preference. Every time I order here I try something new.

Great quality food. No complaints here. I would recommend ordering traditional Chengdu dishes, in opposed to dishes you can get at Panda Express (fried wanton, general tsao, and the like). See pictures. All highly recommended.

Solely based on their food delivery experience. The noodle soup was so good, spicy and on point. Authentic! I was cold and hungry before the meal, but happily warm and cozy after the noodle soup! Good amount of beef chunks and bakchoy along with the noodles (mouth watering just thinking back on it..) Order it if you like true spicy authentic chinese beef noodle soups!

This is the best Chinese food I've had in New England. It tastes like the simple take-out stuff you may have had growing up, but is so much fresher, healthier, and more flavorful. Such a genuine place with delicious food.

We love this authentic Chinese restaurant! You have to get the steam shanghai little juicy pork buns and I promise you, you won't regret it! They are similar to soup dumplings without a lot of soup. They are super tasty! The shrimp dumplings were also delicious! One of the better ones I have had in the state. I have had the mei fun and their noodles are thicker than typical Mei fun I'm used to. The lo mein and Mei fun are both okay, pretty bland in my opinion. I did really enjoy their pork fried rice! The texture and flavor was great, they could add more sauce to it though. The grand mariner shrimp and general tso chicken were good! My husband loved the hot pepper chicken, he thought it was nicely spicy! We enjoyed the chili dumplings as they have a great flavor but not spicy more sweet. The garlic eggplant was great but some parts are spicier than others. The won ton with red sesame oil was pretty good but preferred the chili dumplings more. My husband loves their Dan Dan noodles here! They have great flavor and really spicy! Eggrolls are okay. The fried dumplings were good, not super thick. We did enjoy the sauce too! I did find it odd they don't have any hot sauces or chili oil that you can bring home. We ordered a ton of food and they gave 1 duck sauce and 1 soy sauce packet which I thought was funny. That's okay because we never use them but if you do, make sure to ask for more! You can order online or call to order. Another plus, is that they have a parking lot! The restaurant looks nice inside too but we have only done take out.

You have to get the Qongqing chicken. It's savory, numbing, a tiny hint of spicy, and crunchy. I'm also a fan of the cold sesame noodles or Dan Dan noodles. One of the more authentic Chinese restaurants in Providence.

Best for those who love more genuine Chinese cuisine If your idea of Chinese food is Chow mein Egg rolls and some ribs This is not the place for you But you like the spicy Thé succulent . Thé unique complex taste of the cuisine of China .. you will be hard pressed to find better or equal in New England Simply the best is served Shanghai juicy steam buns Shredded beef with hot long peppers General choa chicken ( the best ) Chung king chicken with red peppers Ribs with cumin ( strong and delish) Dry string beans with olives D'en d'en noodles B Choy with garlic Hot and sour soup Enjoy Edgar

As someone who has a high spice tolerance and a love for Szechuan cuisine, Chengdu Taste truly satisfied my cravings. My friends and I ordered a variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes. The rich taste of peppers and authentic Chinese spices made this a pleasurable experience. The food is delicious and I recommend coming here to test your spice tolerance!

Rice was cold and flavorless, general Taos chicken was heavily breaded (barely any chicken) and hard as a rock. Would not recommend in my opinion.
