Best WLM Reviews
This is the type of Chinese restaurant that takes you back in time. When the decor of a restaurant was just as cool as the food. You are greeted at the front steps by two lion statues. When you walk in there's a koi pond on one side and a statue on the other. I was promptly and politely greeted and seated in a very comfortable 70's style orange padded chair. It was relaxing before it started. They brought me tea and my ice water. My water was great! I had the Hot and Sour Soup! A PuPu for one and ***Shrimp with Lobster Sauce.*** The Hot and Sour Soup was delicious. It was more of a lite broth but it had all the traditional flavors, mushrooms, tofu, golden needles and it had a nice little kick. I review a lot of Chinese restaurants and the Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was some of the best I've had. The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. The sauce achieved that perfect flavor without even close to being too salty or sweet. Very old school solid but elevated dish. I will definitely come back for this.
The PuPu platter. I'm usually not a fan of the doughy fried items. They do a great job with their Chicken Fingers. They have a nice crisp, the batter has a nice flavor and they were cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the shrimp, although there was more batter. The flavor carried it. The reason for the four instead of a five. I hope this gets read and worked on. The teriyaki was good, but the flavor was weak. Same with the spareribs. The chicken wings had a nice crunch, but lacked flavor and weren't as moist as some. The egg rolls were more cabbage and lacked flavor. I prefer the old school celery based. If you do go cabbage it needs some seasoning. Overall it was a really good experience. If you like Shrimp and Lobster Sauce make the trip. There was a lot of people eating there by the time I left. I'd like to try more entrées.
Very average. The server seemed tweaked out or something. Spit flying out of his mouth when he spoke but he was nice enough.
Food was just average, nothing to write home about.
No Egg Foo Young server here
My family and I enjoyed delicious Chinese food here. One of our family members is of Asian descent, and also enjoyed dinner here. I had the Orange Chicken and white rice - it was an ample portion and was delicious. Others (including young children) enjoyed pork fried rice, beef and broccoli, won-ton soup, and other dishes. I ordered Tea, and was surprised the teapot only came with one cup (despite there being 6 in my party). Perhaps Tea is not commonly included for all with dinner, as in the past?
Decor was very nice and the noise level was quiet. We enjoyed our dinner there, and would likely return when in the area.
Great food and friendly staff. The portion sizes are very filling! Can’t wait to go back!

SUMMARY:
In one word, I would describe Cheng Du as neglected. I decided not to penalize this restaurant with a low review because I believe in it. This is a call out to the owner to remind them of what a beautiful restaurant they have. With a little love, attention and elbow grease, Cheng Du has the potential to, once again, be amazing. The foundation for greatness is there it just needs someone who cares, to bring life back into the establishment. My wife and I stopped at this conveniently located (Rt. 9 West) Chinese restaurant on our way back to Worcester from Boston. The atmosphere was a bit in shambles and the food was ok. The staff was very kind and they did a pretty good job with service.
ATMOSPHERE:
The lighting, décor and artwork, were all beautiful. I appreciated the dark wood flooring which complemented the brighter and colorful walls. I was also a fan of the authentic Chinese art and sculptures scattered throughout. As I stated previously, the foundation is here. If management put some time into cleaning up the place, I have no doubt they’ll see a major improvement in customer satisfaction and in the business overall.
FOOD:
The variety of options was promising, the presentation was lovely and overall, we enjoyed our food but it was clear that there was no, dare I say the word, passion. The environment overall felt a bit lifeless, and it reflected in the food. If the kitchen can get it together and re-ignite the spark, I really believe that Cheng Du has the cooking expertise to dish out some appealing plates.
STAFF:
Our server and his partner did a great job overall. The food was brought out in a very timely and structured manner. We both appreciated that there wasn’t a long wait between the courses. I also appreciated that my waiter did refill my water without me asking. The service took a bit of a dip after all the food was delivered. The attention to our table disappeared but our waiters partner came and got us checked out.
Nice clean restaurant, friendly staffs
I am going to comment on the food, so they can fix it. We ordered the basics. Lo main, Fried rice, pork dish. Unfortunately every single one of them was way too salty. I would say they could probably use 60% of the sauce then it would be perfect. My guess is they had reduced the portion of the food (less meat, less veggies) but still are using the same amount of sauce. It was flavorful but WAY TOO SALTY. Very disappointed because I had high hopes. Too bad.
We ordered our food and 5 minutes later it all came out. Food tasted like it was made night before. The noodles tasted bad. I won't go back unless it's to play keno. The inside is beautiful though and they were friendly. Go at night or weekends maybe the food is fresh then.
Standard fare. Our party got the Chow Foon, Crab Rangoon, and a few other dishes. The food was slightly bland but otherwise pretty solid.
Tip: if you're sitting down and ordering, skip the mocktails, the cup is mostly ice and very little drink (I got the virgin strawberry daiquiri).
