成都映象 Chengdu Impression

Wanted to get some lunch that was not our typical fare. How I miss working in the SGV because of the delicious options. Chengdu Impression certainly did not disappoint. We had the deal for two. Our selection the Pork Belly with pan fried veggies, seasonal veggies, and my fav sliced beef and tofu in chili oil sauce. Service was efficient, place is clean and the menu has many traditional dishes. Do yourself a favor and get some flavor!

Excellent Chinese food with a modern twist. We had the alumni get together in a big dining room that can seat 24 ppl. They can also accommodate karaoke! We ordered all kinds of meat, seafood, soup and appetizers. The lobster, fatty duck and sweet and sour fish are must-haves!

We went back to Chengdu Impression again, with bottles of wine. The pity was that everyone that night felt the dishes were not as good as before. It made you feel they had changed the chef. Let's talk about the food: 椒麻竹筍 Bamboo Shoots in Szechuan Pepper & Scallion Sauce - $13.99 Obviously not fresh bamboo, in a weird green sauce. Spicy, but without the numbness from Szechuan pepper. 5/10 映像蘸水牛筋 Marinated Beef Tendon with Chili Sauce - $22.99 Hard to bite. The chili oil dipping sauce was tasteless, with no flavor or aroma. 5/10 農家小炒肉 Wok-Fried Sliced Pork Belly with Shishito Pepper - $22.99 It was okay, but why use Shishito? More expensive than normal Chinese green peppers and tasteless. 7/10 酸菜魚 Sliced Snakehead Fish in Spicy Pickle Broth - $32.99 Full of pre-prepared flavor, and the

Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening at 5PM and was promptly seated. There is an upper floor to the restaurant for large groups that can be reserved. We had a small group of 3 and ordered several dishes to share. They were all a hit! 5/5 Szechuan chicken cold noodles was refreshing and had the perfect amount of spicy, savory, and texture. 5/5 Mapo tofu with minced beef was perfectly seasoned. Not too overpowering with spice or too salty. Tofu was the right texture because it held its shape well and did not disintegrate. So tasty with rice. 5/5 Dry fried diced chicken with chili and garlic is my favorite Szechuan dish. The chicken was perfectly fried and complimented the seasoning well. Spices was just right. 4/5 Stir-fried seasonal vegetables was baby bok choy with garlic. Texture

One of the top Chinese meals I have had. 🙌🏼👍🏼Those Szechuan peppercorns🔥 did their magic on my taste buds. 💦Lots of garlic. Ordered the lunch for two because it was much cheaper than ordering the dishes individually. I have about half as leftovers. The cold royal jelly noodles in chili oil was a great way to start. Refreshing and zippy. Beef and tofu in chili oil was also excellent. Big tender pieces of beef. The wok fried pork belly was probably my favorite, very spicy and fresh/vibrant. finally, the bok choy with lots of garlic was also very good. excellent service, friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place.
