The Noodle Nazi from Dai Ho Restaurant 大和滷味

Minced Meat Dry Noodles.

This place has been around for almost 10 years. Dai Ho’s owner, in its early days, was notorious for being mean to the customers. Everyone in the community knew he wasn’t the most cordial, yet people kept coming back. As he has gotten older, he has softened up and the noodles have remained the same, arguably the best in Los Angeles.

There’s a couple of options, in my humble opinion, are the must-order dish – the Dan Dan Noodles and the Minced Meat Dry Noodles. These two noodles are dry noodle dishes, which means, it isn’t served in a soup broth. The Dan Dan Noodles either come in spicy or not so spicy, which are my favorite. The peanut spicy sauce gives a creamy texture in this meatless noodle carb meal. Then there’s the Minced Meat Dry Noodles in which I remember from my childhood from the small restaurants in Taiwan. This non-spicy noodle with ground beef or pork is also one of their popular choices. Also. their Beef Noodles Soup is quite good as well, including their spicy version.

And a last note, their plumb drink goes great with the spicy noodles. And make sure you try some of their cold side dishes.

What to Order: Dan Dan Noodles, Minced Meat Dry Noodles
