"Ding’s Garden brings Rowland Heights–style Sichuan cold appetizers to Pasadena, and its beef tendon is one of the most highly regarded in the area — salty and spicy with a thin, ribbon-like texture interlaced with little grassy bites of cilantro — while gelatinous-yet-chewy pig ears are a welcome companion; small rounds of bean curd can feel a bit lost, but a healthy hit of mala spice rounds out a pleasant overture to their popular beef noodle soup." - Crystal Coser
