"Located on the second story of a West LA strip mall, Sichuan Impression has a massive dining room than can accommodate a group of just about any size. But the real reason you need to come here is because this San Gabriel Valley original serves the best Chinese food on the Westside, period. Whether it’s the sinuses-clearing mapo tofu, the crowd-pleasing spicy wontons, or the tea-smoked pork ribs that’ll ruin all other ribs for you, this is food that brings people together, because even when the conversation starts to lull, you can always talk about how good the food tastes." - brant cox
