" I’ve visited a lot of Chinese restaurants, but Chengdu Taste really stood out for its authenticity. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes that captured my attention. The cold noodles provided a refreshing counterpart to the more intense flavors of the hot dishes we ordered. My only complaint would be the slightly aloof service; overall, worth the visit for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Szechuan food outside of China! I had the pleasure of visiting Chengdu Taste recently, and I was blown away. From the fresh ingredients to the authentic cooking methods, everything was top-notch. I loved the Dan Dan noodles and the braised pork. They also had authentic pickled vegetables that complemented the meal perfectly. For anyone who craves real Sichuan cuisine, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant might be small, but the flavors are enormous! The dishes are prepared with such authenticity that you feel as if you’ve been transported to Sichuan. We ordered a mix of dumplings, noodles, and their famous fried lamb with cumin—everything was superb! A little crowded, but the ambiance gives it a real neighborhood feel. Highly recommend for anyone looking for genuine Sichuan food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fascinating culinary adventure at Chengdu Taste last week! The food had a burst of flavor in every bite. However, during my visit, many of the dishes were quite spicy, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. Yet, the fried lamb with cumin stole the show! In terms of service, the staff was friendly but could be a little quicker—nothing too alarming though! Overall, I was quite satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I came to Chengdu Taste based on recommendations, but my experience was mixed. The food had potential—especially the dumplings and spicy dishes—but the service was inconsistent. Some servers were friendly while others seemed uninterested. The pricing was fair, but I was hoping for a bit more attention to detail. I might give them another chance but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've never had such authentic Szechuan food in this area before! The menu is filled with exciting options much closer to what you would find in China. The restaurant is small but cozy. The only downside is the sometimes inattentive service; however, the food remains the star of the show. Highly recommend trying their spicy dumplings and cold noodles! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chengdu Taste has quickly become my go-to spot for Sichuan food in Rhode Island! The flavor in each dish is so robust and authentic. I particularly love their spicy wings and the braised beef. The atmosphere is cozy, although it can get crowded. Service can be hit or miss, but I always leave satisfied with the food. Definitely a place to check out if you’re hungry for great Chinese flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
