Taste of Chengdu - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. After driving for an hour, we were refused service. The reviewer explicitly states, "Asian people please DON’T GO to this restaurant as it does not serve Asian at all. " This indicates a discriminatory experience.

I finally found a great Sichuan Chinese food place in Orlando. The food was truly excellent, and I believe it was the best Chinese I’ve ever had. I ordered my food extra spicy, and the waitress and chef were attentive, asking about my preferences and if any modifications were needed. However, absolutely none were necessary – it was so good! My first visit, I enjoyed the Sichuan wontons and the Sichuan braised beef stew. The dishes were so delicious that I returned the very next day for the wontons again, along with the Sichuan dry wok fried chicken and the minced chicken baos. The bao buns were the best I’ve ever had, finally offering ample/extra filling. This place is easily comparable to some Michelin-starred restaurants I've tried in Orlando. The service was excellent, and the food was perfect. Having eaten extensively in Orlando and often been disappointed, this restaurant was a notable and welcome exception. It truly deserves the highest level of recognition in the city.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. It's one of the best fast Chinese places in the area. The food was great, and I was pleasantly surprised that my stomach, which usually can't handle takeout Chinese, felt perfectly fine afterward. I can tell the ingredients are fresh and of great quality.

My experience at the restaurant was great! I tried the Szechuan pork dumplings, bao buns with chicken, and beef in hoisin sauce, and all were super solid. The atmosphere is pretty good, though like another reviewer mentioned, the lights are quite bright. Turning them down a bit would elevate the experience. Overall, the food and service were great. I will definitely be coming back for sure! 😋

I had expected more from a restaurant with a Michelin bib. My experience was a mix of highs and lows. The spicy mapu tofu was excruciatingly spicy, to the point my mouth was numb, while the cabbage dish had essentially no flavor. On the positive side, the service was good, although I felt the server could have been more knowledgeable about the menu, especially regarding spiciness due to a medical issue in our party. The restaurant itself is beautiful, though the lighting felt a bit too bright, almost hospital-esque, and could be dimmer at night. It was a cool experience overall, and I HIGHLY recommend the Mongolian beef; we wished we had ordered two! Despite the beautiful setting and good service, the disappointment with some dishes led to an average rating.

My experience at this restaurant was generally positive. The food was good, though I found it to be a little expensive. The staff was friendly, and the place itself was nice and clean, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. I would say the atmosphere and service were top-notch, rated 5 out of 5. The food also received a good rating of 4 out of 5.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had an amazing time enjoying the authentic Chinese food. My absolute favorite was the Dan Dan noodles, which I highly recommend if you are craving that delicious peppercorn spicy taste.

My experience at this restaurant was truly excellent. I enjoyed a variety of authentic Sichuan dishes, including minced beef soup, mapo tofu, Octopus Mala, and Laziji Chengdu chicken. The food was all excellent and genuinely authentic Sichuan cooking. The servers were also really nice and helpful, going out of their way to assist me when I forgot something. I will definitely return!

You saved the day for us two Quebecers who stopped in Orlando during a 52-hour bus trip to Montreal. We had very good food, specifically the fish. The service was very good and friendly. Thank you!

I generally like very few Chinese dishes, but I absolutely love Mapo tofu and stir-fried green beans. Both dishes were fabulous here. The Mapo Tofu was unique as it didn’t contain pork, unlike most places. The Szechuan pepper provided a perfect, addictive numbing sensation. We also tried the Lzian chicken, Beijing chicken (which was my least favorite), and braised brisket. The braised brisket was incredibly spicy, making my ears feel like they were on fire! The Beijing chicken was the least spicy of the dishes. Overall, the rest of the dishes were really perfect.
