" I visited Chengdu Gourmet expecting an authentic experience, and luckily, I wasn’t disappointed! I had the ginger chicken and the cumin beef, both packed with amazing flavors. The decor offered a comfortable, laid-back vibe that made the meal even more enjoyable. I also had some difficulties with the service, as our server was a bit inattentive at times, but it didn’t ruin my experience. Overall, it’s a great place I will return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am thrilled to share that my dining experience at Chengdu Gourmet was absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the spicy lamb on the flaming hot plate and it was an absolute spectacle. The flavors were rich, and the lamb was tender with just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed their double cooked pork, which was heavenly with its soft texture and savory taste. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive; they really made us feel welcome. The space was lively yet comfortable, a perfect spot for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Highly recommend diving into the authentic menu as it really showcases the richness of Sichuan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience did not live up to the hype. I was excited to try Chengdu Gourmet after hearing about the famous dishes, but the flavor was lacking. While the presentation was aesthetically pleasing, the taste itself was a different story. Service was decent, but nothing to write home about. I may consider returning for the unique authenticity but would approach it differently next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here and was impressed by the authenticity of the menu. The spicy tofu and a cilantro dumpling appetizer were both excellent. However, the dining experience was marred slightly due to the wait times for food, which were longer than expected. The staff was friendly but needed to be more proactive. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would come back to explore more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had another meal at Chengdu Gourmet and it was delightful! I focused on ordering from the authentic menu this time and had the best time trying all the different flavors. The spicy ribs were incredibly good, full of taste and heat. The staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations on what to try. The ambiance was comfortable—definitely a place to enjoy a casual meal with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Chengdu Gourmet, I fall in love with a new dish! Previously, the spicy beef was my favorite, but the last time I tried their twice-cooked pork, and it blew me away! The layers of flavor are something you won't find at Americanized Chinese spots. The authenticity is most definitely there. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I appreciate that they give us an option to choose from their authentic menu as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Chengdu Gourmet after hearing about it from a friend. However, I found the experience to be just average. The flavors in the dishes just didn’t hit the mark for me, and the service was on the slower side. I will say that the interior was nice and the restaurant had a pleasant ambiance. Maybe I’ll try going back to see if things have improved. " (*Curated Review*)
