"The menu here is similar to the Chengdu Impression in Lincoln Park, which is great news because the food at this casual Chinese spot is great. Their specialty is Sichuan cuisine, and dishes like cold noodle salad, shrimp with crispy rice, mapo tofu, and mala fish filet are all incredible. The dining room is airy and bright, and works well for a relaxed weeknight dinner. Also worth noting is that they do a fantastic job with carryout: Our scallion pancakes manage to stay crispy despite a 15-minute car ride." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor

"Set taste buds on fire with copious amounts of chiles and peppercorns. Lincoln Park’s Sichuan expert satisfies mala — the province’s famous mouth-numbing flavor — cravings with choices like mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, and dry chili chicken. They provide warming comfort during the cold season and leave a lasting impression. Orders can be placed online. There are also locations in Edgewater and Wicker Park. A sibling location in Bucktown called Chengdu Bistro focuses on dumplings and noodles." - Ashok Selvam
"Every neighborhood should have a Chengdu Impression. But until this casual Sichuan spot truly takes over the entire city, you can only find them in Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and the corner location in Edgewater. This one is the largest and least busy, making it perfect for taking a bunch of friends out for some great spicy Chinese food. Wontons in chili sauce and chewy dandan noodles are a must, and when deciding between dry chili chicken or tart and spicy stewed rabbit feels impossible, just get both." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Edgewater is the third location of this Sichuan go-to (there are locations in Wicker Park and the original in Lincoln Park, as well). Chengdu Impression features a smattering of dumplings, including fan-favorite Zhong’s dumplings in fiery red chili sauce, Sichuan wontons, and xiao long bao." - Naomi Waxman
