Taste of Chengdu

Chengdu is Sichuan's capital city, and Taste of Chengdu, a late 2018 addition to the growing enclave of phenomenal Asian restaurants on West Colonial, brings with it more than a modicum of spice, a hallmark of this region's culinary style. Proteins from beef, chicken and shrimp to more exotic offerings like tongue and tripe – and a generous selection of vegetarian dishes – are oft prefixed with the word "spicy" or followed by phrases like "with seven chili sauce," but that doesn't mean all of it is off-limits to adventurous diners with more sensitive palates. What Taste of Chengdu serves up is authentic, fresh and delicious, so bypass the walk-in, take-out joints the next time you're in the mood for Chinese and sample something exceptional here. With our without the signature Sichuan levels of heat.
