Chengdu Taste
Full-Throttle Sichuan
Chengdu Taste does not negotiate with your spice tolerance. This Alhambra Sichuan restaurant has been packing in crowds for years without once softening its approach, and the dining room smells like chili oil and vindication. Toothpick lamb, heavy with cumin, is the move that everyone talks about. The Michelin Bib Gourmand is on record here, and lunch is the local's trick for skipping the line that forms most evenings.

Toothpick lamb
“Toothpick lamb, intensely aromatic with cumin and chilies, remains the house signature, but the crispy-crusted beef is a formidable rival.”

Shredded potato
“Even the vegetables show precision, as in the shredded potato, julienned and cooked to a crisp, al dente snap with chilies and acidity.”
