"Co-owned by Sichuan native and Drexel graduate Mark Rao, this hip and modern Sichuan spot in Powelton Village has laid-back vibes with a cheery, playful panda mural by Chinese artist Chenlin Cai. Executive chef Jack Xue (formerly of Jane G’s) trained in Chengdu in the 1970s; here, he spoils diners with crispy, gooey twice-cooked trotters doused in leeks and fermented broad beans, sour and spicy beef soup with glassy noodles and pickled mustard greens, cumin Mongolian lamb, and diced, baked chicken thighs loaded with celery and peppers." - Ernest Owens, Diana Lu

"Expect spicy Sichuan fare at this West Philly spot that boasts about its love of peppercorns. Must-try dishes include the slurp-able dan dan noodles, the chile-laden mapo tofu, and any of the dry pot meals. Chengdu offers takeout, delivery, and indoor and outdoor dining." - Jillian Wilson

I’m pretty obsessed with the food here. Everything is so genuinely spicy and delicious that it reminds me of all the good eats from my childhood. As a Sichuan native, I can attest that the flavors here are about as authentic as it gets outside of China. I’ve been here twice thus far and even though there are still many menu items I’ve yet to try, I’ve loved everything and always look forward to trying more. The ignite noodles are one of my favs! I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the mood for delicious, authentic Sichuan flavors.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! I enjoy every meal I purchase from Chengdu. It's great that you can now request the level of spiciness you desire. They prepare the most flavorful food.

This place is a hidden gem. The taste and presentation is top notch. Pork belly with garlic purée is delicious. Not many Szechuan restaurants can bring my memories in Chengdu back. Sweet water noodle is just the same as what I had in Chengdu. This is definitely one of the best must try Chinese spot in Philly.

Great Chinese cuisine. Food was great, comparable to Han Dynasty but with more traditional American Chinese dish options. I ordered the (mild spicy) chicken fried rice w/ chicken and broccoli. OH MY was it good! I will definitely order from here again!! And service was pretty good also.

They have an enormous delicious vegan dishes, I have tried almost all of them. Tofu dry pot is flavorful, mapo tofu is the best in town, dried tofu sheets with green peppers… their tea collection is also very unique, The milk tea and jasmine taste so good!

Chengdu famous food has been my go to spot for wonton, Dan Dan Noodles, wonton soups and Garlic sauce eggplants since I moved to UC three years ago. Recently they made their ordering system digital which is very convenient and gave me a chance to learn more about their extensive menu! People are friendly, fast causal style. They also work hard since they are always open. No matter bad weather or late night. It’s a hidden gem for sure. I’ll be selfish if I just enjoy it without letting more people to learn about it. Chengdu famous food is an unique, must-try spot!

Very authentic and spicy Sichuan cuisine that stands out in a scene already well known for this style.

Dropped my kids off this weekend nearby. We had a great experience here. Fast casual setup but with really delicious authentic Szechuan food. Service is quick and efficient, we need to come up to the front desk to check out.
