The late Jonathan Gold was a tireless defender of Chong Qing Special Noodles, which sits a bit hidden away from SGV's main drag. It's worth finding this noodle shop, which has more types of dishes than three restaurant menus put together. The noodle soups and flavor-laden dan dan noodles are worth ordering.

The family-run operation is now Rosemead's hub for Indonesian fare with beef rendang, lemongrass fried chicken, and grilled pork satay. It's a takeout model where all food is prepared and pre-packaged, so order early or walk-in and try your luck. —Mona Holmes

Tony Xu's enduring Sichuan restaurant can be inconsistent with the level of spice it puts into its dishes, but when they're spicy, the heat can be unrelenting (and awe-inspiring). The mung bean noodles, spicy wontons, toothpick lamb, and eggplant dishes are the highlights.

One of Southern California's gifts is an abundance of Taiwanese breakfast spots. Operating since 2010, Huge Tree Pastry's pan-fried omelette, hot soy milk, and crullers are only a small sample of what this diner excels at.
