16 Tongue-Numbing Sichuan Restaurants to Try in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Delicious Chengdu is an underrated spot that doesn’t get the credit it deserves. It doesn’t have the fancy marketing or accolades of some other big-name Sichuan restaurants, but the food is authentic and solid. The tiny, family-run restaurant has a respectable lineup of Sichuan specialty dishes, like spicy chile oil wontons, “couple’s beef,” kung pao chicken, mung bean noodles, mapo tofu, water-boiled fish, and chile oil rabbit. The dan dan noodles are a quintessential Sichuan noodle dish made with preserved vegetables, mustard stems, chile oil, Sichuan peppercorns, red chile flakes, ground pork, and scallions topped with peanuts, made dry-style and packing a punch." - Kristie Hang
