Although it's most famous for its electrifying use of chilies and lip-tingling ChengDu peppercorns, the heart of the local cooking style lies in the artful mixing of flavors.Chengdu cooks excel at combining hot, numbing, sweet, sour, savory, and nutty seasonings to create an astonishing variety of flavors.Locals like to say, "each dish has its own style; a hundred dishes have a hundred different flavors." “un-Americanized, small-place street food originated from Szechuan China, awarded as "best heritage restaurant" by Jean Bancheet”Our Story Begins in Chengdu "Nearly everything at Da Mao Jia is designed to set your tongue alight with chile heat.

    First off, I would like to say that our server Fran was not only very attentive, but she was very thorough describing the food. She was also very patient with us individually to help us make our selections. We started with the Empanada De Tamalito which were outstanding. The entrée choices were Churrasco Escabechado, the steak was very tender much to my liking and the plantains really outstanding. We ordered four servings of Lomo Saltado and boy am I telling you my friends swore this was the best meal they have ever had. I can’t wait to eat my leftovers, I wanted so bad to eat the rest when I returned home but I was stuffed. Last but not least the dessert was chart topping, I don’t remember the name but ice cream was served with it. It is a must have. Overall for my friends it was their first experience at a Peruvian restaurant and they scored it a 10.

    Will never visit Chicago again without visiting. Please try the dumpling sampler. It was truly delicious. Service was amazing, food extraordinary, ambiance truly an experience. Notes - Get the dumpling sampler. - Order some hot tea with dessert. - Music can be load but the playlist/DJ was amazing. - Tables are close together, be prepared to shimmy around.
