" I had been hearing rave reviews about Little Chengdu for months, and I finally decided to check it out. My partner and I loved the ambiance—it was cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal. The menu was overwhelming with options, but we settled on the spicy fish and the noodle soup. Both dishes had fabulous flavors! The service though was not as good as I hoped; we had to ask several times for our drinks, and that dimmed the experience a little. Nevertheless, I would definitely come back because the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Little Chengdu really surprised me. I am not typically a fan of spicy food, but the flavors here are so vibrant that they can make anyone fall in love with Sichuan cuisine. The menu has so many options! I particularly loved their tea-smoked duck; it was flavorful without being overpowering. The atmosphere was bustling but warm. However, I can't give a perfect score as there was a slight issue with our order that led to longer waiting times. Still, I think it's a must-try for anyone who loves authentic cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the best Sichuan food I’ve had in a long while. I was blown away by the heat levels and the complex flavors in their dishes. I do want to mention the service was slightly lacking when I first arrived, which made me hesitant, but after we were seated, things improved significantly. The portions were large enough that I had leftovers to take home, which is always a plus. If you can handle the spice, this place is a must-visit! Looking forward to my next visit.

" I had a mixed experience at Little Chengdu. The ambiance was nice and clean, but I found some dishes to be a bit over salted for my taste. However, I can't deny that the flavors generally were strong and the authenticity was impressive. My partner absolutely loved the spicy chicken cartilage dish! While I personally enjoyed the milder choices more, I can't help but appreciate the variety. Service could use a bit of improvement, but overall it was a decent experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely meal at Little Chengdu, where the food tasted utterly fresh and vibrant. Their fish in chili oil is a dish worth trying if you can handle the heat. I felt the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service staff were attentive. It's a small restaurant so do expect it to be packed at times. Only downside was that the noodles seemed too oily for my taste but it didn’t ruin my overall experience. Highly recommend for lovers of Sichuan food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a wonderful dinner experience at Little Chengdu. Their spicy grilled fish was not only very authentic but their flavors were simply out of this world. The atmosphere felt friendly, and the staff were accommodating and attentive. Slight wait times are expected but well worth it once you take the first bite. Highly recommend for spice enthusiasts looking for authentic Sichuan experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Little Chengdu is phenomenal! Authentic flavors and just the right level of spice. I had the spicy fish dish, and it was just what I was craving. The atmosphere is cozy; I could definitely see myself making this a regular spot. However, the service left something to be desired—it was disorganized and slow. If they can improve on that, this place could be unbeatable! " (*Curated Review*)
