PP Pop
A popular Taiwanese hole-in-the-wall in Monterey Park, known for long lines and a classic, no-frills bowl of spicy beef noodle soup: braised beef, egg noodles, bok choy, a moderate amount of heat. The beef roll (a green onion pancake wrapped around beef and coriander) is worth ordering alongside it.

What we'd do at PP Pop
"If it's your first visit, get the spicy beef noodle soup: moderate heat, moderate beef flavor, but the beef itself is the standout: super tender. Add the beef roll (a green onion pancake wrapped around beef and coriander) if you want a second thing to split."
