"Special Beef Noodle Soup With places like Mian, Sapp Coffee Shop, and Golden Deli, LA has an abundance of spots that serve excellent beef noodle soup across lots of different cuisines. We think it’s time to add the version at Luyixian to that all-star lineup. This Shanghainese noodle shop in Alhambra makes a kind of soup you eat on a Monday, dream about all week, and then have again on Friday because your body can’t go any longer without it. The dark, cloudy broth is rich and spicy, and thin, chewy noodles soak up the intense flavors as you eat. Thick chunks of braised beef tie it all together—they’re so succulent that chewing is an optional activity. " - nikko duren, garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
