Cheng Du Restaurant
Reviews
my husband and I LOVE Cheng Du! The place has been updated and looks great! However, we found that eating there gives us less food. Take out loads the food on! So we do take out at least once a month!!! have eaten at many Chinese food places and this is superior. The mandarin platter, the crab Rangoon, the peking ravioli, general tso's chicken!!!
Used to be excellent. Major makeover ruined it.
My husband and I went to Cheng Du recently and ordered Japanese cuisine. We sat at the Sushi bar. I ordered a cucumber martini and it was awful because they put soda water in it so it had a bubbly fizz to it. Who puts soda water in a martini!? The only reason would be to save them money by watering down your drink, and yet they still charge $9, the same as most restaurants would charge for a good martini. As for the food, we ordered two maki rolls, one being a simple avocado roll, which we normally love, but here it was dominated by too much rice, no sesame seeds, and you could hardly notice the avocado...it was a tasteless ball of sticky rice. The shrimp tempura maki was decent, but the shrimp was much smaller than other Japanese restaurants. We shared the skewered meats and the chicken was disgusting, fatty, and gross...we couldn't even eat it. The scallops wrapped in bacon were equally nasty with nearly raw bacon wrapped around an overcooked scallop, the only tasty skewer was the shrimp, but again, very small shrimp--and you only get two. The soba noodles were tasty and if we didn't have that we would have walked away hungry. We would NEVER step foot in this place again. There is nothing worse than spending your hard earned money on lousy food. In our opinion, these people have no business being in the food business. They need to spend their money on a real chef and better quality food instead of putting it all on the decor!!! You can't eat the ambiance folks....get your priorities straight if you want to have a good reputation! We love Japanese cuisine and have been to many Japanese restaurants in this area and beyond, but this is by far the worst we have ever had!
I was order Steamed Pork Dumplings and Stir Fired Chinese Eggplant. I like these a lot.
