Lao Xi Noodle House earned a Bib Gourmand for its Shaanxi classics. The signature wife's special noodle features hand-shaved noodles, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and pork in a rich broth. Their boiled dumplings have a thick wrapper and savory filling that's perfect for dunking in chili oil.
Chongqing Special Noodle in San Gabriel lives up to its name with a numbing, spicy sauce made from Sichuan peppercorns. The noodles soak up that spicy oil and highlight each peppercorn tingle. If you come with three people, you get a free side of saliva chicken, cold chicken in chili sauce. A must for anyone who loves serious heat.
If you're looking for value, Fuxing Spring in Monterey Park is tough to beat. Their lunch specials run from 10 am to 5 pm and come with soup, hot tea, and huge portions, all for around $13. We got the curry beef rice plate and had leftovers for dinner. The claypot rice takes 25 minutes, but the crispy bottom layer is totally worth the wait.
