Just had lunch at the Rosemead edition. Shared the toothpick lamb, boiled sliced fish in hot sauce, and The Catholic Church Chicken. Hadn’t had the chicken before and was pleased to find out that it was a cold chicken dish. All three dishes were fantastic, though given the fact that it’s currently a billion degrees I think I liked the chicken’s combination of cool temperature and spicy heat the best.

Just wanted to bump this thread. I’m going on Sunday aside from the toothpick lamb what are the must orders at chengdu taste? Bo no chicken? Water boiled fish?
Please advise!! I want to order everything unfortunately there are only 6 of us.

if going with a large group get the chicken-veg skewers in green pepper sauce to start things off.

Anything really, whatever strikes your fancy and the fancy of members of your party.
Do they have bobo chicken? I thought that was a Sichuan Impression thing.
That written, good recommendations, but also…
Boiled fish with green pepper sauce, definitely second this one
Diced rabbit with younger sister’s secret recipe
Mung bean jelly with chili sauce
Won ton with pepper sauce (numb taste)
I even love the stir-fry intestine dish

anything fatty/slippery textured seems to match up well with spicy.
Thanks for all the recs.
We had the green Chile fish, mapo tofu, tooth pick lamb, mao chai, pork hock in red chili oil and the bobo chicken.
Everything was super delicious and prices were very reasonable. Can’t wait to visit again to try other things on their menu.

Went with a party of three for lunch Thursday. Toothpick lamb, mapo tofu, and Arden lettuce were all as good as when I had them at the other branch.
Chicken with wild yam, jujubes, and whole garlic cloves (fully cooked) was delicious and the seasoning was unlike anything I’ve had before. Is the wild yam the potato-like chunks or the thinly sliced stuff that might be dried mushroom or a soy thing? (Should have taken a picture of that.)
Even though we ordered only four dishes we finished only about half. The next table had long skewers of cauliflower, lotus root, and I don’t know what else, I’ll look for that next time.
If we are talking specifically about Kungpao Chicken, I think Delicious Chengdu has a better one.
