I had a great time here with my friends - the staff was super friendly and accommodating. We showed up late and they seated us immediately- evidently we missed the big rush. We had many foods and ate family style. My favorite was the eggplant.

I went here for lunch the other day for a business meeting and really enjoyed the place...While the decor is simple and a bit dated, anytime you enter a Chinese restaurant and the back table has old ladies hand-making dumplings, you know you're in for some good eats.The lunch menu had traditional Chinese fare on one side and some more adventurous selections on the other. Regardless, the dishes we had at our table all went back to the kitchen clean...we all devoured our food and talked about how good each dish was.You can't go wrong here...and I can't wait to go back again. Oh, and get the dumplings...they really are THAT good!

This place just popped on my radar when I heard that the chef is a James Beard award finalist. Being that it was the Lunar New Year, it was a perfect time to check it out. The outside might look a bit run down, but the food is outstanding. They have a traditional Chinese menu and an American Chinese menu. The traditional menu has pictures to help see what's in the dish. We did a mix from both menus. From the traditional menu we had the Sichuan dumpling in red chili oil...do not miss this dish, it was our favorite! And I had the Sichuan cold noodle bowl. It had the right amount of spice mixed with peanut flavor. It was a simple dish but delicious. And they give you a huge portion for a very reasonable price. From the American Chinese menu my husband has the chicken egg roll and the General tso's. The chicken wasn't super crispy but the flavor on the general tso sauce was perfection. We also share a cup of the hot and sour soup, which has a pretty good kick!They have a decent amount of seating but a large portion of that is made up of 4 or 5 tables that seat probably 8 people. Those tables all had a lazy Susan in the center so that you could share dishes. We thought that was pretty cool. The other section is a mix of 2 and 4 person tables. It was about half full when we got there but it filled up while we were eating. When we left, there was a line at the front waiting to be seated. We really enjoyed our experience here and can see why the chef is up for such a prestigious award. Again, if you go, don't skip out on the dumplings!

First time here with party of six this place from outside doesn't do just because inside is so nice and comfortable. Remember me of chinese restaurants in Chinatown in New York or Philly. I feel so comfortable. I can speak in Mandarin. We brought a bottle with us. We order from traditional menus, starting with Soup-West Lake Beef Chowder. Appetizers-Sichuan-style Dumplings in Chili oil and Scallions Pancakes. Main course- Baby Bok Choy with Black Mushroom, Shredded Pork with Dried Tofu, Chendu Spicy Beef in Flaming Pan and Steamed Whole Fish. Celebrate Chinese Banquet with great friends. Highly recommended. Definitely coming back !

Was looking for a flavorful yet light, shareable plate for dinner. This place was great for just that. Service was quick and the staff was kind and answered all questions my family had. My favorite on the table was the pickled veggies and the beef casserole. The beer flavored duck was mostly bone, but it was still flavorful. We tried only the traditional Chinese, so next time we will be trying the American-style Chinese just because it looked good on other party's tables. Also, the TV was playing Cesar Millan's dog whisperer which was a great addition to the chill, family-style ambiance.

Chengdu Gourmet will always be one of my favorites. They offer the perfect variety of traditional Chinese and American Chinese dishes, and even the pickiest eaters will find something they love. In a large party, your food will be served to you on a large lazy Susan, making it easy for your entire party to share. We tried a bit of everything, and not a single thing disappointed. Our favorites were the Mao's Pork Belly, the Spicy Chicken, and the Szechuan dumplings (not pictured). There are menu items for all levels of spice tolerance, and you will leave with plenty of leftovers as the portions are very generous. We will be back again and again!

This place was unfortunately quite disappointing to me. It's possible that I just don't really have the palate for authentic Chinese food, but something about this spot just didn't click with me. I got to try out their steamed dumplings, pumpkin pancakes, chicken egg roll, and mango milk tea.The steamed dumplings were decent. Not great, not bad. Okay portion for price. The dough was pretty thin, meat was fine, but the sauce was more acidic than I'd usually like.The egg roll was a bit strange. It had a pretty strong peanut butter-like taste to it. Seemed decently fresh and they did provide some sauces on the side for it. They had mustard and duck sauce, but strangely, no soy sauce for some reason.The pumpkin pancakes came in a pretty small portion (3 little ones). They were pretty solid but not the most flavorful. A little crispy on the outside and a nice chewiness to them. I liked them but didn't love them.Finally, the milk tea was decent. The tea itself was quite tasty, milky, well made. But the boba they included on the bottom was definitely some of the worst pearls I've encountered in Pittsburgh. No chewiness left, just slimy and hard.All in all, I probably won't come back. I tried both this location and the one in the North Hills, and neither really hit the spot for me. Small portions and higher than average prices, but they do serve some unique dishes.

This is my go-to sichuan place in Pittsburgh -- it has a great variety of more traditional offerings and a great lunch special selection too. I tend to go for the double cooked sliced pork (with leeks) and the spicy fish soup. Their portions are generous and I often have leftovers for the following day.

Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but I was a bit disappointed by my meal here. We ordered the potatoes with hot peppers and vinegar, and there weren't any hot peppers -- it was mainly just sour. As for the eggplant with garlic sauce, it was fine, but it was more sweet than spicy. We were expecting Sichuanese-style food and more punchy, spicy food, but this didn't meet our expectations unfortunately.

Top pick for chinese food in the area. Coming from LA, did not expect to have comparable asian food but this place is solid. Asian ladies making dumplings and peeling vegetables on a big table in the dining hall, old man working the front register, feels right. Food is fast and delicious, the mapo tofu and crispy chicken are fire and def have a strong kick. Service is what you expect for an asian place.
