Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that Chengdu Restaurant in Short Pump will be open for Thanksgiving. If you haven't been, it's the only place in all of Southern/Central Virginia to have authentic, spicy Sichuanese food - would highly recommend coming over and giving it a try :) Thank you so much!

It used to be, but unfortunately their cooking style has started to cater to American palates the past couple years. Still tasty but only Chengdu will bring you to tears

Hard to say exactly, but the food is sweeter and not as rich with flavor and spices as Chinese food should be. Whenever me and my Chinese friends went we were always a tad disappointed.

More importantly, however, is that Chengdu has really tasty authentic food - worth a visit at the very least

Do they have the fried eggplant appetizer?

What should a first timer order?

What do they do best?

What can I get there that I can’t get anywhere else?

Only place in Virginia? Get the duck out of here with this bullshit advertising. There are dozens of places in VA with authentic food. Falls church alone has tons....

Sorry brah, this place was pretty ratchet when I ordered. Ketchup-esque butt sauce with a bunch of chilis doesn't constitute Sichuan cuisine but props for the r/hailcorporate post I guess.
