I wish I had an answer to that question. Never had the General Tso's there but since the China Inn closed I've had cravings for several of their dishes like Shanghai Dumplings, Ants Climbing a Tree, Sczechuan Beef, and Dan Dan Noodles to name a few.

Unfortunately I doubt any of the take out joints have anything that matches the Inn. When Louis Yip opened China Inn back in the 1970s it was the first local Chinese restaurant to offer more upscale and specialized fare beyond the Chow Mein and Polynesian style spots. Chengdu Taste makes some pretty good Sichuan stuff but it's a different style menu than China Inn and doesn't fill that void. With luck maybe somebody has a good suggestion.

Honestly one of the worst feelings is when your favorite restaurant closes down lol. Kind of sad I’ll never find a place as good

Chengdu Taste

Recently had from Quan's Kitchen in North Attleboro and it was the best I've had in a while. Not overly saucy, white meat, actually spicy, broccoli cooked perfectly. Bit far to go but worth it!!

I’m about 20 minutes from there I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!

I miss the orange chicken from Shanghai on Thayer st. Those were the days

This is the correct answer. Best Chinese food and some of the best food period in town.

Chengdu Taste might have the best food in the world. If aliens came to Earth and gave us one chance to convince them not to destroy our planet, I would give them a plate of Ma Po Tofu from Chengdu Taste.
