When dining at Chengdu Taste, the signature and most highly recommended dish is the Toothpick Lamb with Cumin, which is celebrated for being aromatic, spicy, and juicy. For those who enjoy a numbing "ma la" experience, the Boiled Fish with Green Pepper Soup and the Boiled Beef in Hot Sauce are standout choices. Other popular favorites include the Mapo Tofu, lauded as some of the best in Los Angeles, and the classic Sichuan-style Fried Chicken with Dry Chili Pepper. For a well-rounded meal, diners often pair these intense flavors with Sautted String Beans with Garlic or the cold Mung Bean Noodles. If you are feeling adventurous, the restaurant is also known for traditional specialties like the Bobo Chicken skewers in red chili oil and the Spicy Rabbit. Be prepared for a full-throttle Sichuan experience characterized by lip-tingling spices and fire-engine red chili oil.
