Chengdu’s ever changing food scene has various offerings to be delivered straight to our doors. Whilst Sichuan boasts one of the most celebrated cuisines in the world, Chengdu is still lighter on quality international eateries than most cities along China’s Eastern Coast, and chuan cai doesn’t always leave us satisfied after a baijiu business dinner…

Lucky for us all, Chengdu’s exciting start-up culture is giving rise to many independent or family-run delivery services which, aided by the ease of WeChat and low sunk costs, means there’s a new menu finding its way to us almost weekly.

From cheesecake to chapatis, the Chengdu Expat team tests out Chengdu’s food delivery services.


Peter’s Tex Mex

With its large and varied menu, Peter’s Tex Mex is known for its generous portions.  This chain has over half a dozen restaurants across Chengdu so there’s bound to be  Peter’s not too far from you. Their portions sizes are on the generous side, which is especially good if you like salads and have been disappointed by the stinginess of the portion sizes at other eateries.

Rob’s MVP Pizza

Rob’s MVP Pizza is a new American run, no frills, pizza joint in Chengdu. Run by Rob from the States, the casual eatery has retro arcade games to keep you busy while you get your pizza fix – and a giant 110 inch screen to chill out and watch movies.

Rob travelled around America sampling pizzas from across the country (a hard job but someone has to do it hey), as inspiration for his pizzas at Rob’s MVP Pizza. They’re made with top ingredients, are real cheesy and arrive piping hot.

They also do a range of American style subs, drinks and sides like wings, wedges and fried mushrooms –  delivery, or to eat in.  Every week they have movie screenings on their giant telly (every Thursday), and twice monthly games nights.

Opening Hours: 5 p.m. – 12 a.m.

Address: NO.12, Chang Shou Lu, Wu Hou District, Xin Hua Yuan, Building 4, Room 204; 新华苑4幢204号

Yalla Yalla Kebab and Shawarma

Yalla Yalla (from the team behind Safari Dubai) is a hole in the wall shawarma joint, just a stones throw from Lan Kwai Fong.
They serve up freshly made flatbread with halal chicken shawarma, falafel, and Indian style butter chicken.

There are just 3 seats at the bar in Yalla Yalla, as it’s mostly geared up for delivery or take-away, but they’ll deliver all the way down to Hua Yang, so fear not if you live outside the third ring road.

The chicken shawarma wrap (32RMB) was tasty, but it was the falafel wrap (22RMB) that stole the show. Crusted with sesame, the light, crunchy chickpea parcels sit happily drizzled in tahini with crisp pickled jalapenos and salad. You can add avocado if you like, but why reinvent the wheel. If you’ve really had a rough day and fancy the ultimate indulgence – their Shawarma Submarine (58RMB) is layered French fries, shawarma and salad – grilled under a decadent layer of cheese. You wont have room for seconds.

Opening Hours: 11am– 10pm

Cheesecake Love

A decent cake in Chengdu isn’t easy to come by, but the ladies from Cheesecake Love (formerly of popular bakery Cakey Butta) make delicious mascarpone offerings that will deliver for free inside the Second Ring Road. For further afield addresses you will need to use UBER. Favourites are the red velvet, Nutella and the rainbow cheesecake – there are also specials offered regularly. You can buy some cakes by the slice, in 6inch halves or as mini-cakes – but this depends on the daily availability.
