Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: November 18 - Eater LA

"It’s hard to believe that some of Los Angeles’s most exciting Sichuan cooking hides on Pasadena’s idyllic Green Street alongside dental and chiropractic practices a stone’s throw from Pasadena City College. Here at Sichuan Street Food’s tiny, two-story walk-up, Chengdu-trained chef Yong “Leo” Zhu prepares the region’s greatest hits alongside deeper cuts made with bullfrogs and pig kidneys. My dining companion and I ordered some of our favorites like dan dan mian and twice-cooked pork, as well as the chef’s signature dishes, including boiled fish in rattan pepper and pig kidney salad. The twice-cooked pork was especially good with its balanced burn and long, thin strips. Also fantastic were the delicate kidneys prepared in a soy-based sauce along with plenty of fresh ginger and scallions. The kidneys’ supple and tender texture impressed me so much that I ate the leftovers just a few hours later." - Eater Staff
