It would be a compliment to call the food mediocre. Service is bad enough to hurt your feeling when you thinking about the tips you have to give. Delivery took 90 minutes to get cross 6 blocks. I would give 0 if Yelp has it. read more

When Covid hit every place shut down and Chinese restaurants were hit particularly hard due to Fear and prejudice. Chungdu1 was no different. SO, I was so happy, when permitted, they implemented Social Distancing and Curb Side pick up as they are our Go To Place. I was craving their spicy Lamb Dumpling!! SOOO GOOD. And unlike so many other places, I am NOT bloated by over salted food. read more

FINALLY there is an authentic chinese resturant with amazing spicy foods. I came here and was pleasantly surprised that there were tables to dine in. It's small but the staff is very friendly and welcoming. The menu is divided where one side is mostly standard americanized chinese foods, adn the other side is the traditional spicy stuff, aka the real. treasure. I've already eaten here 3 times and my favorites so far are the spicy braised fish, baby bamboo, and 3 pepper chicken. All i can say is that i'm glad this place is here and i hope it's here to stay. read more

This review for just to go order only. My husband and I had... 1, cold chicken in spicy sauce 2, cheng du style cold sesame noodles 3, Dan Dan noodles 4, Okra with garlic sauce Okra dish were the best for my taste so far. very flavorful, not too salty, oily. just right. I loved it. other then that, all were pretty good but I felt "something missing" in the flavor. it's not came from because of spiciness or hotness. me personally LOVE hot & spicy food. it doesn't bother me at all but I didn't taste deepness from the dishes and it was a bit sad to me because I've been waited to try this place! since this place is out-side of delivery limit to my house, I don't think I'll have myself a chance to buy some food at this moment but maybe some day later... read more

Good Food and bigger portion than expected. Ready for pickup super quick which was nice. I would go back.

The go to dinner spot for my husband and myself, authentic Chinese food. Especially their braised fish fillet with chilli sauce and egg plants with garlic sauce. The portion is also huge that we always have left over for another one or two meals for the next day. The pork dishes could use some improvement, however. Overall, it's a great place to order authentic Szechuan food! read more

This review was based on two lunches I had at this place. We were excited to have Chengdu1 in the neighborhood considering the lack of good sichuan food in the Newport area. But let's just say you need to be choosy in terms of what you order off the menu because of some dishes are better than others. But in my opinion, even the good dishes are just average compared to similar places in Manhattan. Things to order: Fish fillet in chili oil (水煮鱼） Cumming Lamb (孜然羊肉) Lamb dumplings (羊肉水饺) Thing to avoid: Spicy dry pot (麻辣香锅) This is an UNauthentic version of the classic Spicy Dry Pot. It was very saucy and tasted weird - nothing like what I expected from a good 麻辣香锅 Decor： It's mostly a takeout place with a very small dinning area. Tip: They give you discount if you pay cash read more

Ordered takeout as was curious how this stacked up against other Szechuan places in the area. We ordered the braised whole fish with hot bean paste, the double cooked pork, pumpkin with ginger scallion for us and chicken wings and chicken and broccoli for the kids. Overall, it's okay - but I think King Szechuan wins over this place on all fronts. Everything lacked robust flavor. The whole fish was nicely braised but the sauce lacked the punch you in the face flavor, and didn't have any veggies (King Szechuan loads the sauce with lotus root, and yummy veggies that soak up the sauce). The double cooked pork was on the dryer side, so had more chew than one would expect for double cooked pork. The pumpkin had no ginger or scallion flavor whatsoever. Food is okay if you need a quick szechuan fix but I'd probably go for King if you have the option. Grand Sichuan has gone a bit downhill in recent years so this might be on par. read more

Was expecting great food since I miss sichuan food. As the name was chengdu ( a city in sichuan), I decided to give it a try. As2. Chengdu Style Cold Sesame Noodle was okay. And the Triple Pepper Chicken smelled like fish oil through and through. Like they cooked the chicken and fish together in the same oil in the same pan at the same time. read more

Got take-out. The string beans and fish were pretty good, but the fried rice and fried crab were mediocre. Would not recommend getting the dan dan noodles. read more

I recently moved to the area and tried out Chengdu1 while craving Chinese food one evening. It's outstanding. Huge fan of their Spicy Lamb, but pretty much everything I've ordered from them has been great. Highly recommend Chengdu1! read more

Best Szechuan food in the area, way much authentic than chef tan. Will definitely come back. What we ordered: 夫妻肺片/ 水煮鱼片/ jiao y an pai d read more

Food quality has been relatively consistent throughout the pandemic. Service is prompt. My favorite dishes are steamed whole fish and many of their spicy Sichuan style appetizers. Also love their dim sum menu read more

Hands down my favorite place for Chinese food. It's a small shop with limited tables, but the food quality is excellent. read more

Updating because the owner or manager called us back. We requested a refund of the delivery fee as the food arrived over two hours later and the food arrived cold. He refused and said it was a third party service charge and he couldn't give us a refund of the fee (not our problem). His solution to the problem was to tell us (loyal repeat customers) to order our dinner at 4 pm next time if we wanted dinner at dinner time because they are busy. read more

The delivery guy is very rude. I paid $3 delivery fee for my 20 bucks meal. The delivery guy demanded a tip even though I already paid the delivery fee. He didn't leave and kept asking for a tip until I paid him another $3 as "tip" on top of the already paid $3 delivery for my 20 bucks meal. Watch out for that when you want to have your order deliver. read more

Was really looking forward to trying this place after seeing several good reviews. After an hour and a half waiting for my food I called and was told that my order was never placed and they cannot locate it. I checked my bank statement online and saw a debit for the charge however they still could not find my order that I was charged for they told me they would call me later to see if they can figure it out. Five minutes later a delivery person came with the food now an hour and 35 minutes waiting for the order, the food was completely dried out and cold. I called back and proceeded to have a 20 minute argument and he told me what I ordered was supposed to be dry! As if I never had general Taos chicken before! I told him that they can credit me for the two chicken dishes that we inedible and I would pay for the rest even though I was not eating it. He continued to argue and said a driver will come pick up the food and that it better be not eaten! Within two minutes a driver was there! Meanwhile they took and hour and 35 min to originality deliver it! He examined the food to make sure nothing was missing... oh and they told me that they would never take an order from me again... sorry who's loss?!?! Part2 couldn't make this up if I tried!!! They just called me as they were examining the returned food.... he said he is charging me for the dumpling I ate! Which was two bc my husband and I ordered to actually eat!! He thought I didn't eat any of it...then he talked about the rice, I asked him how much each grain of rice he would charge me! I've never ever been through this ridiculousness in my life!!! read more

The general tsos chicken was rubbery and inedible. The vegetable fried rice had zero flavor. How can you mess up such basic dishes? If a Chinese establishment can't make the basic dishes edible then that is not a good sign. Never again. read more

I ordered the delivery from this restaurant, and it took about 45 minuets to get the food delivered. I would say it is very fast for Friday night. The food is authentic and tasty. But the scallions pancake is over burnt and there are black spot here and there. If I eat in the restaurant, I would return it. Food portion is on the small side. We ordered about 40 dollar food and we ate all. Overall it's not bad read more

What we encountered went from unfortunate and odd to unbelievable, rude, and unsanitary. I hate to leave bad reviews, as my family owns a small business and I know the struggle. However this has to be posted. We've been patrons of this place for over a year. It's our favorite restaurant in the area and we go very often. But a couple weeks back we ordered a delivery. They happened to deliver the wrong thing...first time ever. My husband called them up and was like "Hey, you sent us the wrong thing, can you make another?" They said "There's no way it's wrong, we put the food there itself, if it's wrong why can't you just eat it? Eat it!" He replied "Yeah, but it's not the food I ordered, can you send the correct order? We don't even like this dish!" to which they replied "it will be 2 hours" (odd since they are always around 40 minutes). They seemed very angry. We had nothing to eat...so we ate half the food and waited. When they arrived 2 hours later, they insisted that they take the food back with them...to do an "exchange". This struck us as very odd. We'd never heard of such a thing (this is similar to what they expected Christina S. to do). My husband reluctantly gave the food back. Later in the day they called him over and over on his phone, presumably bc we had eaten some it, but he didn't pick up. We could not figure out why they insisted on exchanging food. After a while my husband went back again to eat there. As he was waiting for his order, one of the owners literally started badmouthing him to another customer. After he confronted that owner about this, they said statements like: "Why do you act like American customer?," "You're just like those (n-word in Chinese)", "you think customer is god but why don't you understand? We're losing money on you" but the WORST THING WAS "We need exchange, we need the WHOLE THING back, you can't touch the food and we might use it again!" finally we put two and two together... this is a DANGEROUSLY UNSANITARY practice...reusing food that has already not only touched a customer's table but in their HOME!!! Imagine what could have happened if we had a sickness and handled the food in a way that contaminated it?! If I had a bad flu and had breathed on it as I opened the container to see it? Please take your business elsewhere...perhaps to Manhattan or another Chinese business. And I will be contacting a food inspector about this. I'd also mention that after this argument the boss tried to physically push my husband out the door. Thanks for reading! read more

Unfortunately my soup dumplings was undercooked. Lost my appetite for the night and ordering in the future. read more

Their wonton soup saved my life. I work on a truck all day in the cold and this $4 soup was amazing and warmed me right up. Thanks Chengdu1 ! read more

Came in tonight and ordered some takeout because this is my usual Saturday night spot. Very busy which is good, but tonight it was a disappointment. Ordered my takeout and sat down, two couples came in afterward and ordered to eat in and got their food way before my takeout was ready. When I asked the young man who normally is at the register; he gave me an attitude. Seems like it was ok for me to wait and then when I asked about my food, they rushed it to the point of it not even being edible. My vegetable friend rice was beyond oily. I will not be going back. read more

Read a lot of good commends about this place. It's not authentic Chinese food, really disappointed

I asked about where their ingredients come from and I received a very rude and false response saying it's from China!!! I then specially asked if all their ingredients were from China and I received another rude yes answer!!! This was an insult to my intelligence and a flat out lie!!! They then later admitted it wasn't all from China. And when I asked where it came from they just told me something like supermarket. I want to know what I am eating!!! That's how they treat their customer. Absolutely don't recommend!!! read more

Food was bland and not authentic. Attitude of employees are also horrible. Generally would not recommend here.

if i could, i would give no stars. I found plastic paper in my meal, so disgusting. Will never order from here again.

This review isn't going to be on the food because we didn't get that far. We were so excited to try this place while we were celebrating my Mom's 70th. The waitress was the rudest I have come across in my life! I've had rude service before and was able to get through a meal but this woman by far was the worst EVER!!! She would cut us off as we were ordering with her attitude that things were not available (which we wouldn't know) and once she took our order she walked off with this face that made me, my sisters, nephew and my Mom say fuck this we will not eat here! I never in my life have walked out of a restaurant but I would never eat at a place that treated their customers so awful! It was unreal and I still can't even put into words on how she treated us or how we felt. Now that I am reading their reviews it looks like we dodged a bullet. I wouldn't want a hair in our food which seems to be a norm there. read more

If here have "0" star optional, I think I'll do that , terrible services ,oily foods, and extra fee (they charge delivery fee & delivery tip ) read more

Taste is good but took 2 hours to deliver last time I ordered from the store directly. The driver from the store was extremely rude, shouting and staring at you for tips in addition to delivery fee even if they were late for so long. I will never order delivery again. read more

Excellent place in a unspotted location, introduced to me by lovely girlfriend. Our favorite here is the braised fish slice, so good!

Would give a rating of 0 if I could. Horrible speed...placed an order from 1.5 hour ago and still no food. No way to track delivery, the receptionist does not speak English. Will never order again. read more

I reduced their rating from five to two. I want to be fair so I will still say they cook good food. However, they are well deserve a one star for the young owner's lack of respect and manner. Consider it a piece of advice to them from a loyal custumer who will never return. To the young owner: When you receive a photo showing a robber band in a slow cooked soup, first thing you should do is apologize rather than wait till the soup get cold, yet you waited till next day when i remind you to do so. Secondly, you probably want to offer anything like a replace or a refund, but you let it passed cause you prob don't care since you are running a business with almost no competition in the area. However, the reputation is something that you don't want to mess up anytime when you are in such business. I will save the photo for everyone's appetite. read more

Be careful with their price on the menu! They have 3 different prices depending on type of nation. Like Asian vs American. I found that tend to be very discriminated. Also their dish isn't very fresh especially their vegetables. I would recommend grand Sichuan or ling long xuan for real Chinese food around this area. Nice people with good service! read more

Great Food. Authentic Schechuan Chinese!! No need to go to Chinatown!! Another jewel in JC!! Try it!! read more

fantastic, a very traditional sichuan food restaurant, what can I say, if you are tired of eating fake Chinese food, you really should try this. read more

Welcoming staff, nice food variety & quality both. Good this is you need not take the same plate to get more food from the buffet area (maintaining lot of hygiene) but the place has compromised over the files in the dining area too. Observed flies on lot of food items & in buffet area & in the dining too. Overall good place to try Chinese (Sichuan style which is my personal favorite). read more

Very nice. Both dishes i had, shredded pork in garlic sauce and baby bok choy with black mushroom, are delicious and healthy. Suitable for take out! read more

Mediocre Szechuan food. Some dishes fix the craving, some are a miss. Ingredients are not always good and fresh. Glad to see it open as another Chinese food option, but some days I just don't feed adventures enough risk the disappointment. Hope they will improve in the future. read more

Excellent hole in the wall outbound from NYC. Interesting authentic menu and plenty of spice. Looking forward to returning!!
