“ We had the best meal at Chengdu Gourmet 2 today! The food was some of the best Chinese food we’ve had the Pittsburgh area! Some our favorite dishes included the pork belly bites, ho fun noodles, and sesame chicken, but we truly enjoyed it all!!! We will be back soon! ”

“ The seasonal four course dungeness crab feast is truly remarkable. The garlic breaded and fried crab legs course was the juiciest crab I've ever tasted. I will remember it forever. It's worth the price for a special occasion. ”

“ Do you want authentic Asian food but are not sure where to go? This little hideaway has a treat for you, trust me. The food is so flavorful and meticulously prepared that it deserves a photo shoot all on its own. The sushi is incredibly tasty, but my all time favorite here is the tofu. Don't make that shriveled up face. It's delightful, succulent, and prepared with shrimp and scallops combined with broccoli and peas. Say it with me, yummy You won't be disappointed. The staff are exceptionally polite and willing to accommodate you, the location is convenient, and the cost is quite reasonable. What are you waiting for? ”

“ We had an absolutely incredible experience! The staff is some of the nicest and friendliest people ever. They really go out of their way to provide hospitality and great atmosphere! My family and I stopped in for a quick dinner! They were so patient with my kids! We got 2 orders of chicken and broccoli to split and I got a brown sugar bubble tea! Both were completely finished! Definitely will be going back to try a lot of their appetizers! Because they looked so good!! ”

“ I had the best solo dinner date—amazing food of authentic Sichuan cuisine from @chengdu_gourmet2 Chengdu Gourmet, McKnight Road I had some delicious wonton soup and lettuce wraps for my starters. then my entree I had the perfect Szechuan chicken and vegetables dish I’ve ever had. Chengdu Gourmet, a James Beard-nominated restaurant, serves bold, authentic Chinese cuisine that captures the spirit of Sichuan cooking. Many dishes are crafted by hand, and each bite offers a rich and unforgettable taste of tradition. #relaypittsburgh #chengdu_gourmet2 #chengdugourmet2 #pittsburgh #pittsburghpa #coldbrew #pittsburghfood #pghcontent #thingstodoinpittsburgh #pittsburghconent #besties #makeup #contentcreatorpittsburgh #pghcontentcreator ”

“ Ok, it was last Saturday night and they only had 2 service people. So they literally ran. It was our first time to visit that restaurant. And the food was so good! Soooo good! I haven't had great Chinese food for a very long time. I would say this restaurant is very competitive to Chinese restaurants in Chinatown in Philly! The eggplant and potatoes dish is very good! (地三鲜) I was hesitant about ordering that dish because I had a few bad experiences ordering that dish in other restaurants! And it was very unexpectedly good. The potato and eggplants got deep-fried before they stir-fried them. So, the key point of the pepper was making this dish so good because they actually had some smoky flavors. So this dish is very authentic. Basically every dish we ordered was so good! The pickled pepper beef is authentic and the quantity is bigger than I thought. I would recommend this restaurant to my Chinese friends. ”

“ It is wild that in this unassuming strip mall off of McKnight Road sits a James Beard-nominated Sichuan restaurant. Chengdu Gourmet has multiple menus of offerings, which range from authentic Sichuan to dim sum to homemade noodles to a more American take on Chinese. We both ordered from the authentic menu, and the pork belly dish and my green beans and eggplant vegetarian dish couldn’t have been better. The cucumber salad appetizer we ordered was so fresh and the sauce was delightful. We had wonderful milk and fruit teas (so much real fruit in my tea), and I took a sweet-and-sour chicken from the American Chinese menu to go that lasted the recipient for three meals. Everything is prepared with such care and served really beautifully. They were very focused on making sure every diner had the best possible experience; there was so clearly a great deal of pride in the restaurant and its food. One small thing that isn’t my favorite but may entice other diners, there are live lobster tanks at the back of the restaurant from which I believe you can order fresh lobster. I’m told the chef here is well known in the Sichuan culinary community. I am from the South Hills, opposite the North Hills location of this restaurant, and will happily cross rivers/bridges to visit here again. This place is legit! ”

“ I had an excellent experience at Chengdu Gourmet! The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming—spacious, bright, and clean, with live seafood tanks adding a unique touch. The crowd included families, groups of friends, and couples, making it a great spot for any occasion. The service was outstanding. The waiters were friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to assist with the menu, helping other tables understand their options. We tried the pork intestines with silk tofu and the spicy whole roasted fish, both of which were flavorful and spicy. The rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy, and sweet, complementing the dishes beautifully. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for those craving authentic Sichuan cuisine. They offer a huge menu that also includes American Chinese, dim sum, and sushi, but the Sichuan dishes are what they’re truly known for. Definitely worth multiple visits! ”
