Since opening in Alhambra in 2013, chef Tony Xu has been nominated for a James Beard Award and has since expanded Chengdu Taste all over the nation. Xu also owns the chain of Mian restaurants, which specialize in Sichuan-style noodles. The aforementioned cumin toothpick lamb is a must-order, along with the boiled fish with green pepper sauce and mung bean jelly noodles. The brand hails from Chengdu, the unofficial hot pot capital of China, and boasts more than 1,000 outlets across the globe. Its hot pot broth is said to be made of 90 ingredients, including dozens of herbs, chile peppers, and peppercorns that have been steeped in a fatty beef-tallow base.

GF Wrinkled String Beans
Meizhou Dongpo’s braised pork belly dong po rou, dan dan noodles, and bang bang poached chicken are solid takes on the traditional dishes. In the Before Times, diners began each meal by making their own sauce from the ingredients on hand, including herbs, chiles, and garlic. Da Long Yi’s signature sesame oil is poured into each customer’s creation, a tradition specific to Sichuan-style hot pot. Diners can adjust their spice levels according to their preference — those who favor less spicy flavors might opt for the tomato soup base. When the food is served, the server opens a can of bright red Sichuan chile oil and pours it atop the stew.

Then, they pick their choice of spicy soup base and extra add-ons like quail eggs, spicy sour noodles, and udon. The dish arrives looking like a whole fish swimming in a pool of red chiles. Miàn, the Chengdu Taste offshoot, specializes in Chongqing-style noodles like zhajiangmian — hand-pulled wheat noodles tossed in fermented bean sauce, ground pork, and vegetables. Other specialities include its Huaxing noodles with fried egg in tomato broth, Chengdu hot-and-sour noodles, and beef pickle noodles in green Sichuan pepper soup. Chengdu Taste is arguably the most popular Sichuan restaurant in Los Angeles and single-handedly popularized cumin toothpick lamb.

Diners are given storage for their handbags, aprons for protecting their clothes, hair ties to pull their hair back, and plastic bags for any electronics. The version at Cheng’s is anise-scented, but not as richly saucy as I might have hoped. However, that does little to minimize the enjoyment of the ropey noodles beneath the sauté of ground pork, soybeans, and petite cubes of tofu. Xiao Long Kan excels at creating an iconic high-end classical Chinese ambience, combining unique menu items like crystal beef (brisket and egg) and varying spice levels with live guzheng musical performances.
Cheng's Famous Tiki Drinks
Xiao Long Kan is known for its “butter,” which is made of slabs of solidified beef tallow marinated with spicy and numbing spices. Maocai is a Sichuan specialty that hails from Chengdu in Sichuan province. It is a stew-like dish made of meat and/or fish and a variety of vegetables, and is topped with a soup stock made with mala sauce and chile oil. MLBB makes its Sichuan-style dipping sauce using a dried powder mix of minced chile and chopped peanuts. The server then adds a spoonful of the hot pot broth to the minced chile and peanuts to create the sauce. Hibiscus Tree allows diners to order from a number of set combinations or build their own version of the dish.
Xiang La Hui’s renditions of popular dishes, like mapo tofu, toothpick lamb, kung fu boiled fish, serrano pepper beef, and frog with chile and serrano, are also highly coveted. Szechuan Impression has a menu full of authentic Sichuan dishes, like mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, bo bo chicken, water-boiled fish, and even Hongxing diced rabbit, but the star dish is its tea-smoked pork ribs. In Sichuan, pork ribs are traditionally smoked with cypress boughs, but at Sichuan Impression, the pork ribs are marinated with green tea. The ribs are also marinated with dry chiles, scallion, and minced peanuts before being smoked.
Although there are some traditional dishes on the menu, like mapo tofu and dry pots, the most popular dishes all involve seafood, including the spicy crab pot, Dungeness crab, and squid with pickled chiles. The fresh Dungeness crab is stir-fried with loads of red chiles and Sichuan peppercorns and tossed with rice cakes, potatoes, and vegetables. Chef Tiantian Qiu is willing to make her dishes even spicier upon request.
GF Sam Shen Soup (For Two)
The broth is made by simmering beef tallow, green Sichuan pepper, red Sichuan pepper, and a variety of other peppers for more than four hours. The dipping sauce suggested for the Sichuan broth is the crushed garlic and sesame oil dip. Hip Hot in Monterey Park specializes in melding seafood from Cantonese cuisine with Sichuan flavors.
Also worth mentioning is that Szechuan Place’s dan dan noodles are dry, but tend to be more soupy than those at other restaurants. Anyone looking for more than the run-of-the-mill Sichuan dishes can try the mao xue wang, made of duck blood curd, tripe, chicken gizzard, and other organ parts simmered in peppercorn and red chile soup. Xiang La Hui has an extensive menu of authentic and refined Sichuan dishes. There are a handful of dishes that every Sichuan restaurant should be able to do well, and laziji is one of them. Also known as Chongqing chicken, it’s a famous Sichuan fried chicken stir-fry dish that is covered entirely in chile peppers, spicy bean paste, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and garlic.
The namesake Chong Qing handmade noodles are rolled fresh and doused in chile oil, and the biang biang noodles are covered in chile flakes, vinegar, and tossed in a spicy hot sauce. The best dishes at Rosemead’s Best Noodle House aren’t even noodle-related. Try the cold skin-on chicken, which is thoroughly dressed in a mouth-numbing mala sauce with crushed peanuts and scallions. Chong Qing Special Noodles is a no-frills, mom-and-pop shop that is sure to hit the spot for spice lovers.
The end result is a rack of barbecue ribs whose meat falls off the bone. Malubianbian, which hails from Chengdu, serves skewer-style hot pot. The restaurant has a cult following and over 1,000 stores around the world. MLBB — as it’s often abbreviated — only serves its signature soup base, which contains 19 herbs and is topped with an additional dose of chile, onions, and sesame oil. Even its mild variety is considered spicy for the average person not from Chengdu.
But I found a way to make the slightly dry version of the cucumber-topped dish irresistible. The crisp-edged pork-belly slivers repose in a mildly spicy chile oil, perfect for drizzling over the noodles. Combining the two dishes gave mild zha jiang mian a pleasant hot flash. With locations in Irvine, Arcadia, Century City, and Universal City Walk, Meizhou Dongpo is a restaurant empire in China. In California, however, the restaurant is mostly known as a higher-end Chinese restaurant that is almost exclusively located in big shopping malls or tourist locations.
