99. – Fielding Buck, Restaurant Reporter Nestled in an unassuming strip mall in Claremont is LA Kung Fu Noodle, a hole-in-the-wall Chinese eatery that specializes in noodle dishes and dim sum. While the spicy pork and shrimp dumplings are certainly a reason to keep going back, it’s the Dan Dan Noodles that keep me up at night.
For $10.99, patrons get a large serving with smaller bowls so the table can share (if you’re feeling generous). The noodles are so long they appear never-ending; the broth is spicy and has that numbing quality that lingers on your lips, courtesy of the Szechuan peppers; and of course, there’s that tahini (sesame paste) flavor that coats your tongue like butter.
All of this combined easily makes this dish the best meal I ate in September. – Emily St. Martin, Digital Features Editor Dole Soft Serve from Brian’s Shave Ice in Sherman Oaks,.
