"Finding a gluten-friendly Sichuan-style noodle house that’s not in the San Gabriel Valley is like seeing a peacock show up in your neighborhood: surprising and kind of thrilling. This casual spot in West Adams from the Chengdu Taste folks stands out with trippy artsy murals, but one of the biggest draws is that all of the fried rice dishes, including an extravagant lobster variety, are GF. And while all noodles in their soups can be swapped out for the GF variety, there are three that are entirely GF, including our favorite tomato and beef noodle soup." - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder
