Yungui Garden (Monterey Park)

By in 01: San Gabriel, Favorite Food Entries

We went back for more Yunnan rice noodles (old entry). We got the right item this time. The delicious Cold Noodle. It taste very strong with bold, vinegary sauce, pickled cabbages and salted grounded meat. Their signature Across the Bridge Rice Noodle. Too bad the ingredients were mixed in the soup by the waitress before […]

Uni Spaghetti (I just have to get this): so good. The uni is fresh and creamy and not mixed in some cream sauce like some […]

Rikyu (Little Tokyo)

By in 06: Downtown LA

A traditional Japanese noodle place that serves soba and Udon in the 2nd floor of Weller Court at Little Tokyo. It was empty when we went in, while Curry House and Orochon Ramen (which I don’t get the appeal of, but to each and his own) in the same plaza were packed. There’re not as […]
