The joy of discovering a great place to enjoy your favorite cuisine is an experience to be savored.
Chengdu Delight is a whole bunch of joy. On my first visit here earlier this evening I was absolutely transported to the Sichuan capital with wonderful memories of my dining experiences there.
The fiery dishes prepared perfectly are not to be missed (some may need to wash them down with a large dose of Pepto Bismol). But isn't that why we love Sichuan cooking.
My lamb with cumin was cooked to perfection. While my palate was being treated to heavenly taste, I was struggling to keep up in wiping my brow: the sweat was coming down like a monsoon.
Complementing my meal was fresh watermelon juice which I had developed an affinity for during my numerous visits to China.
In addition to great cooking, this restaurant has a very pleasing decor: not overloaded with all things Chinese.
Service is friendly and prompt.
BTW the majority of the customers were Chinese. Always a good sign when one is looking for authenticity.
This place is going to be in section A of my restaurant Rolodex.
