  • I stopped by here this past Sunday evening with my wife for dinner. I had been looking forward to trying out Chengdu Gourmet ever since I first heard about it a couple of years earlier and had bookmarked it on Yelp. The restaurant itself is located on Forward Ave in Squirrel Hill and the front of it makes it seem somewhat small. However, once you are inside, it's actually quite a big space as it is rectangular in shape. It's decorations are somewhat simple and the walls are decorated with pictures of some of the chefs food. For dinner on this evening my wife and I decided to start off with a couple of appetizers and went with the Sichuan dumplings in red chile Oil as well as the scallion pancakes. Our appetizers came out together but our waitress had misheard our scallion pancakes as sweet potato pancakes and so we had to send them back for the right food. In the meantime I was able to try the dumplings which were good. The outside wrapper was cooked nicely and the filling was pretty flavorful. Surprisingly the red chile oil wasn't too spicy and my favorite part of the sauce was the black sauce (Tamari or soy sauce?) underneath the oil which added a slight touch of saltiness and sweetness to the dish. After I had finished with the dumplings our scallion pancakes made it out to us and they were worth the wait. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside while still being warm made them pretty perfect. For our dinner entrees I ended up ordering the three pepper diced chicken while my wife went with the happy family. At Chengdu Gourmet they actually have two menus, a traditional one and a normal one. The reason that I mention this is that the traditional one has pictures of most of the food giving you a good idea of what you are ordering which is nice. The three pepper diced chicken probably wouldn't have been my first choice if I hadn't seen the pictures but after I did I realized that it and its sister dish the diced chicken reminded me of one of my favorite dishes Chingqung Chicken. Whenever it came out to us it looked exactly as it had on the menu. Loads of three different types of peppers (finger hot, bell and dried red?) on top of a sizable portion of fried chicken. As for the taste, well it was delicious. Spicy enough that I could really tell it's presence but not enough to make me down a glass of water while eating it or immediately after. My wife was also really pleased with her happy family and the amount of food that came with it, especially the shrimp, scallops and lobster tail. The bottom line for me is that I would eat here again in a heartbeat. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals here and I loved the fact that we could get both traditional and American Chinese food.
