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 fish felt the same. 5/10
蒜香辣子雞 Dry Fried Diced Chicken with Chili and Garlic – $23.99
Very good. We ordered it again. 9/10
麻婆豆腐 Mapo Tofu (with minced beef) – $16.99
Good, classic, with no drawback. I still couldn’t find the minced beef.
黑椒杏鮑菇牛柳 Wok-Fried Beef with King Oyster Mushroom in Black Pepper Sauce – $23.99
The worst dish. The presentation was not clean. I don’t mean the plate was dirty, but the entire output was not neat for a good restaurant. It looked like a sloppy roadside stall dish. 3/10
乾鍋培根花菜 Dry Pot Cauliflower with Bacon – $16.99
Acceptable, but with no Wok Hei (鑊氣) at all. 5/10
紅糖糍粑 Crispy Sticky Rice Cake with Brown Sugar Dip – $10.99
Good, the best of the night. 10/10
紅糖冰粉 Iced Jelly with Brown Sugar Syrup – $5.99
Good, my favorite dessert anywhere. 9/10

酸辣凉粉 Hot & Sour Jelly Noodle – $12.99
The texture was excellent, with a perfect balance between softness and firmness. It was spicier than average, with a good flavor and the strong fragrance of Sichuan red oil. 8/10
青椒拌茄子 Eggplant in Green Pepper Sauce – $12.99
It was acceptable, but the eggplant wasn’t as good as what you’d typically find in China. 7/10
夫妻肺片 Sliced Beef & Beef Tripe in Chili Sauce – $23.99
Very spicy, with the beef and tripe sliced thinly to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. 8/10
仔薑田雞 Stewed Bullfrogs in Spicy Ginger Broth – $36.99
There was an unpleasant smell, likely because the bullfrogs were frozen, not fresh. The ginger flavor was barely noticeable. Not recommended. 0/10
家常豆瓣鱸魚 Whole Bass with Spicy Bean Paste Sauce – $48.99
The taste was excellent, textbook-level cooking with a mild spice level. It was very good, though a bit on the expensive side. 9/10
油渣蓮白 Wok-Fried Cabbage with Crispy Lard – $15.99
The “crispy lard” had too much meat and wasn’t the usual golden color. The stir-fry didn’t have enough heat, which resulted in a lack of 鑊氣 (wok hei). 4/10
鐵鍋小炒肥腸 Wok-Fried Pork Intestine with Chili – $22.99
What a brilliant idea to cook pork intestine with rice cake! I’m familiar with combining two traditionally unrelated foods, but I would have never imagined pairing rice cake and intestine. It’s just those two ingredients—nothing else—but the taste was amazing. The intestines were soft, and the rice cakes were soft too, but in a different way. Really good. 8/10
麻婆豆腐 Mapo Tofu (with minced beef) – $16.99
Very classic texture and flavor, with no noticeable drawbacks. However, I couldn’t really taste the minced beef. 8/10
蘿蔔燉牛肋條 Beef Rib Finger & White Radish Soup – $28.99
The best dish of the night. The beef was incredibly tender and juicy, without the typical overcooked texture of long-stewed meat. 10/10

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 was crispy and not too soggy. A nice refresher to accompany the spicy dishes.
Highly recommended for a visit if you’re craving something spicy and savory.

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.

We came here on a Sunday, found there were a lot of guests going upstairs for gathering. We sat in the booth, which was comfortable and clean. 豆瓣鲈鱼is the must try – the same taste from Chengdu & Chongqing! Authentic and delicious!

We went for dinner. Food was amazing and so was the service. Even though they speak limited English , they made every effort to serve what we wanted. Great ambience . Street side metered parking . But pricey , but worth the experience. Will definitely visit again.

Every dish is spicy in its own way, fresh ingredients with great taste. Still using disposable silverware, probably a result of the pandemic. Service and decor lower than average for a Michelin guide restaurant.

Good Sichuan spicy food. The place is clean. They give you small free appetizers of peanuts and spicy cucumbers. The entrance and the parking are at the back (not on Huntington Dr.).

You’ll find all the classic Sichuan specialties here, tasting like you’ve been transported to Chengdu. Bold and authentic flavors, they don’t skimp in the Sichuan pepper. Favorites were the Ji Si Liang Mian (shredded chicken with cold noodles) and Suan Cai Yu (pickled vegetables with fish). They’re still serving with plastic containers though as a covid precaution I’m assuming. Also love the ambience inside and they have these big private dining rooms. Highly recommend
