"Quiet Green Street is home to one of Los Angeles’s most exciting new Sichuan restaurants. Chef Yong “Leo” Zhu trained in Chengdu for two decades before heading stateside to open Sichuan Street Food in Pasadena, which occupies a two-story building with a bustling kitchen. The menu includes popular dishes like dan dan mian, mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork belly, and stir-fried lamb with cumin, along with regional specialties like Mama’s pork trotter soup and bullfrog with Sichuan pepper and chiles." - Mona Holmes
