Cheng Du 23 - Preakness

Stopped in because it was rated the highest 4.3 of food options in the area, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered shrimp fry rice with scallions, onions and eggs $13 WORTH IT). The rice is 100/10. The best Chinese rice I ever had. General tso’s chicken $17 NOT WORTH IT, 5/10) lacked sauce and just wasn’t crispy. Plain pork lo mein $13 NOT WORTH IT, 3/10) VERY DRY AND HARD. And broccoli in garlic sauce $15 NOT WORTH IT, LACKED FLAVOR, my broccoli was swimming in sauce/oil, NO FLAVOR, 5/10). Overall they were nice, service was nice, but the dishes aren’t worth the price!

Forget the local Chinese restaurants...Chengdu is a step above, authentic Szcheun Chinese food. Fast service and excellent dishes. Heavenly Chicken, Jingling BELLS and Chilean Sea Bass are some of my family's faves.

I love this restaurant so much. My first time here was on Thanksgiving last year. I came early and had a delicious and quiet meal by myself. I have taken coworkers and my family here since then. The dan dan noodles are the best. Everything on the menu is great. I love getting the complimentary tea and the service by everyone has always been great.

So gross to find out bug on the noodles, never ever again ?

After having had lunches and dinners here several times, my last visit was disappointing. Placed our order and within LESS than 2 minutes our food was served. It was like it was it previously prepared, and not as good as I have had in my other visits. Shrimp with cashews, barely, and the sauce was gooie, sauteed green beans , limp and greasy. Maybe one more try to determine if it just was a bad night
