Cheng Du Street Food

This restaurant is a must-visit if you love bold, spicy flavors. The food was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat—flavorful, not overpowering—and every dish tasted fresh and well-prepared. The spice levels were spot on and really stood out compared to other places. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to help with recommendations, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Orders came out on time, and everything was served with care. Overall, a great place for spicy food lovers with top-notch service. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌶️

This place! First try! But it’s turning to My favorite Chinese Szechuan restaurant in the downtown Toronto! Every dishes are so tasty! I have to say I definitely love how big the portions are! And I’m so thankful for the their warm service☺️ There are non-spicy foods and spicy foods. So Feel comfortable to try! 5 stars ⭐️ restaurant 👌👌👌

Loved the authentic Chengdu flavors here! Every dish we tried was delicious, with that perfect “wok hei” you’d expect from real Sichuan cooking. The retro-style décor adds a nice touch, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. I especially liked the small detail of offering mouthwash after the meal — very thoughtful. Overall, a great spot to experience genuine Sichuan cuisine. Toronto just keeps getting better, with more and more authentic Chinese restaurants popping up!

This is my 2nd time here and it’s just as great as the first time! Everything we ordered was so good. The service staff were friendly & hospitable as well, Andy was also very friendly & nice by giving us napkins when he saw that we were sweating from the spiciness of the 辣子鸡. 😂 The portion serving was also very generous! We always have a great time here.

The food here was simply delicious. The food had a kick to it, but it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy. The spiciness worked well with the flavours. The portions were generous, perfect for sharing, and the service was great.

Absolutely loved Chengdu Street Food! The dishes were delicious and authentic, with very reasonable prices. Huge shout-out to Andy — he went above and beyond helping us figure out the menu, and was incredibly friendly and patient the whole time. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and warm service!

The restaurant has good service and ambiance. The food is good as well, however they add some spices that creates a tingling sensation in the mouth. They add this spice in pretty much all the entres so I think that needs to be improved as you cannot eat all the food with the similar taste. We ordered a potato appetizer and it was raw so definitely that needs to be cooked all the way as well. Other than that, we had a good dining experience.

Delicious, authentic Sichuan food with great service. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 only because they don’t take reservations, and there’s no way to join the queue online.

I recently visited Chengdu after days of craving authentic Chinese food, and it absolutely hit the spot. Right when my group arrived, the staff greeted us with hair ties, clothing protectors, and wipes. We asked for recommendations, and the server kindly warned us that their spice level runs much hotter than other Chinese spots in the area. She wasn't kidding. I ordered the Chicken in Fried Chili at a medium spice level, and it still packed serious heat but in the best way. The standout for me was the eggplant dish. It had the perfect balance of sweet and sour, which helped with the fiery kick from the chicken and rounded out the meal beautifully. The waitress also mentioned that their soup-based dishes are extremely popular, but be prepared those are known to be even spicier. A quick heads-up for anyone planning a visit: avoid peak hours if you're not a fan of long waits. My friend and I came during dinner rush and waited about 1.5 hours. They don't take advanced Yelp reservations, so I recommend putting your name down and exploring Chinatown while you wait. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my experience and would absolutely recommend Chengdu to anyone looking for flavorful, authentic, and unapologetically spicy Sichuan food.

Came here on a Saturday night and it was packed. We added ourselves to the waitlist around 7pm and were seated at about 8:30pm. It was raining, but thankfully there was a small indoor waiting area where we could stand and stay dry. Once inside, the restaurant felt spacious and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and even walked us through the menu, pointing out their popular dishes. We ordered the stir-fried eggplant and the deep-fried chicken with hot chili. The eggplant leaned a bit on the sweeter side, but it was cooked perfectly, not mushy at all, and tasted amazing. The chicken had a lot of flavor and definitely spicy. We asked for it to be made less spicy, so I can only imagine how intense the full spice level is! Portions here are huge, so it's a great spot to come with a bigger group to try more dishes. Even with just the two of us, we had plenty of leftovers to take home for the next day. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

Authentic, authentic, authentic. 從品味到服务，绝对值得五星好评。我们打包回去的猪蹄汤，在冰箱放凉後第二天并没有出现结成肉皮冻的情况。目前没有证据，说不上是里面用了什么网上传说的科技狠活，还是有什么不知道的原理。这是目前唯一存疑之处。

If you love spicy and flavorful chinese food - this is the spot. This place jumped straight to the top of my list as one of the best Cheng Du cuisine in Toronto. Fittingly situated in Chinatown Toronto, this place has it all. From the numbing sensation to the high spice tolerance. They even have drinks where you can't find elsewhere. The staffs were so amazing. Constantly checking up on us to ensure we are doing good, and asking if we need anything. Expect some wait time though as this place does get packed. Well worth the wait in my books, and will definitely return!

Came to eat after visiting Casa Loma The restaurant was pretty popular and busy. Service was pretty quick. You can request your food to be very or less spicy. The food was spicy but was really delicious and filling. The rice was mildly spicy than I thought it was going to be. The soup tastes very similar to homemade soup.

Officially one of my favorite Sichuan restaurant in Toronto. As a spicy food lover, I was so excited to try this place after my mom raved about it. She repeated mentioned the spicy fish after she had it with friends and she's usually very nonchalant about most restaurants. I tried it for the first time as takeout but my mom insisted we needed to have it again fresh at the restaurant so, lo and behold, we went for lunch. She is right. The dish is so much better as dine-in. We went not long after they opened on Saturday so we were seated quickly. The restaurant had a homey vibe and decor and the servers were really nice. They came to check on us and gave some nice recommendations and asked if we wanted to adjust the spice level. I would recommend lowering it if you don't eat spice often. They offered bibs, which is a blessing for a messy eater like me, who was worried about my light colored sweater. They also offered some fruity mouthwash along with the candy when we got the bill, which I thought was a nice touch. The food is the highlight. Everything we got really hit the spot. Fish fillet is soft and tender but still flavorful. It comes with these awesome glass noodles and the portions are great. The chicken is also well seasoned and tender and since I love smoked bamboo shoots, you just can't go wrong. Unsurprisingly, the fish is my favourite. I heard the spicy fish fillet with Sichuan pickle is also great, so I thinking I'll try that next time. Highly recommend.

If you like spicy food this is the place for it! But you can adjust the spice level. The food is flavorful. The service is good and they provide bibs during dinner. It was Saturday night and was quite the long lineup. We waited one hour for a table, however they provide tea and small snacks while we waited. Made waiting much more pleasant.

I stumbled on this restaurant when I was researching about another restaurant in the city and decided to give it a try. I am so happy I decided to give this restaurant a try because the food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience dining here. We came here a bit after 5 and got seated right away without waiting. Right after we sat down, the waitress informed us that they only accept canadian debit cards and cash, which was not a problem for us. The waitress helping us was extremely friendly and gave me a hunch or recommendations after looking at the menu. I informed her that I was Cantonese and expressed my worries about handling the spice, she was so kind to adjust the spice level for me. My favorite dish of all times is stir fried green beans and I really enjoyed this dish at Chengdu! I am so glad that we decided to order this without spice. The fish fillet with sichuan pickle in spicy sour soup was so delicious and fresh! This restaurant makes it so well, better than any I've had thus far. The stir fried chicken was extremely well done as well but too spicy event at the mildest spice level. For people who can handle spice, definitely order this! We got seated in a small room at the back of the restaurant so it was quiet and away from the rest of the crowd. Overall, the food was sooo good and I would love to come back!

To everyone saying they've spicy food, can you handle numbing too? Sichuan Chinese food is a whole league of its own when it comes to spicy - they use a lot of chili and pepper corn, which makes your mouth go slightly numb in the process. This amplifies the entire spicy feeling!!! I tried a bunch of dishes and it's not for the weak: - stir friend beef aorta with gasho melon and red chili - sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce - stir fried pork kidney and liver with chili - general tso chicken - Shanghai noodles The beef aorta was quite interesting as l've never had it before! It was pretty good! If you can't tolerate spicy food, the chicken and noodles are perfect for you

Service is fast and be try nice worker. Amazing authentic food coming from someone from Chengdu where the dishes originate from. Ambience brings nostalgia to childhood in china. Modern look with traditional Chinese look as well.

Delicious, authentic Chinese food. The mapo tofu is excellent. It's a no frills restaurant but definitely worth checking out.

On a grand scale of Chinese food worldwide probably a 7 or 8 out of 10. On Chengdu scale prob 3 or 4/10, and thats being overly generous. Severely underspiced. We asked for spice level 8/10 for native eaters, was barely mild on the gringo scale. Service very condescending under a veneer of hipness. Save ur money for restauranteurs who r professionals and happy to see u and dont presume u couldntve possibly had this type of food before and by necessity have to dumb it down. Lolz.

food was flavorful and large portions for a reasonable price. we got the hot and sour soup, vegetable fried rice, spicy garlic eggplant and, beef and broccoli. all were delicious but the beef was a touch oily. the service was excellent! our waiter, CJ, was friendly, funny and attentive. restaurant was clean and the food came out very quickly. portions are large and ideal for sharing with a group. would definitely come back!!
