Chengdu Gourmet（一）: An Honest Review of Pittsburgh's Sichuan Staple

Having sampled several dishes at Chengdu Gourmet, I noticed the flavors closely resemble other local Sichuan spots like "Yue Bai Wei" — though generally oilier and priced slightly higher. Here's my detailed take, with all dish names sourced directly from Uber Eats. 🥢 Dish-by-Dish Breakdown 1. Double Cooked Beef Chengdu Style Sliced beef stir-fried with spicy green peppers Flavor was decent but didn’t leave a strong impression A solid but forgettable choice ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2. Beef Rib Teppanyaki Good black pepper seasoning However, each rib was paper-thin and extremely oily Left my stomach feeling uneasy long after the meal ⭐️⭐️ 3. Beef in Hot Spicy Broth An authentic version of the Sichuan classic Each slice of beef soaked in that thick, numbing-spicy broth Flavorful and satisfying — a standout dish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🧾 The Verdict Chengdu Gourmet delivers traditional Sichuan taste but leans heavy on the oil and light on value. If you're craving that mouth-numbing mala kick, it’s worth a visit — but order wisely and maybe keep some digestive tea handy. #ChengduGourmet #SichuanFood #PittsburghEats #SpicyLovers #HonestReview #FoodiePGH #ChineseCuisine
