"Dan dan noodles at Sapp Coffee Shop are a Thai interpretation of a Sichuan classic. The peanut sauce is present, the chili oil is applied generously, the ground pork is stir-fried with fermented soybeans. This is fusion food that works because the kitchen understands both traditions."

"The noodle is served cold — this is a Thai presentation, not the Sichuan version. The peanut sauce is underneath, the chili oil floats on top, the combination requires mixing. Once mixed, the dish has a complexity that is worth the effort. The portion is generous by LA standards."
