This Week’s Must-Try Dishes from Eater LA Editors: October 5 Highlights

The Eater Los Angeles editors dine out frequently, bringing to light several standout dishes worth mentioning. Here’s a roundup of their favorites from the week.

First up, the chicken cold noodles from Steep in Chinatown are perfect for battling L.A.’s heat. These noodles are served in a generous bowl with carrots, cucumbers, and chicken breast, drenched in a savory peanut sauce complemented by a sharp vinegar kick. For a heartier meal, chewy tofu with garlic sauce or housemade pickles can be added. A guava oolong tea with oolong jelly is a refreshing drink option.

Next, at the Pines Modern Steakhouse in Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, the crab cake starter dazzles with generous crab meat and a light, fresh salad, all under a unique Ritz Cracker crust. Meanwhile, at Los Compadres in Norwalk, their enchiladas verdes are filled with tender chicken and topped with a tangy verde sauce alongside well-seasoned rice and creamy beans. To quench your thirst, their tamarita margarita offers a delightful balance of flavors. Lastly, @stra Pizza served an unexpected yet unforgettable Hot Hon3y Pepperoni pizza at a dance party, featuring a perfectly charred crust and a savory, sweet combination, making it one of the best pizzas sampled in recent times.
