🔥 Cheng Du Chinese Restaurant | Authentic Sichuan Flavors in Richmond

Craving bold, numbing, and aromatic Sichuan cuisine? Cheng Du Chinese Restaurant in Richmond is a go-to spot for those who love authentic Chinese flavors — think mouth-tingling peppercorns, fiery chili oils, and dishes packed with depth and character. 🌶️ Why It’s a Standout: ✅ True Sichuan Spirit – Not toned down for Western palates. Expect real ma-la (numbing-spicy) heat and complex layering of flavors. ✅ House Specialties Shine – From dry-fried green beans to mapo tofu and crispy whole fish, the kitchen knows how to handle spice and wok hei (breath of the wok). ✅ Comfort in Every Bite – Whether it’s dan dan noodles, cumin lamb, or hot pot-style soups, each dish feels hearty and satisfying. ✅ No-Frills, Focused Dining – The vibe is casual and authentic — you’re here for the food, not the decor. 🥢 Must-Try Dishes: Mapo Tofu – Silky tofu in a spicy, savory, numbing sauce with minced pork. Sichuan Boiled Fish – Tender fish fillets swimming in a fiery red broth with vegetables. Dry-Fried Green Beans – Blistered, salty, and studded with minced pork and preserved vegetables. Cumin Lamb – Fragrant, slightly gamey, and packed with toasted cumin and chilies. Scallion Pancakes – Crispy, flaky, and perfect for sopping up sauces. 📍 Visit Notes: Location: Check current address in Richmond (often in the West End or near Short Pump). Spice Level: Can be adjusted — but for the real experience, go for “Sichuan spicy.” Portions: Generous and shareable — great for family-style dining. #ChengDuRestaurant #SichuanFood #RichmondVA #ChineseCuisine #SpicyLovers #AuthenticFlavors #WokHei
