At this East Village outpost of the popular Philly Sichuan chain, the chile oil that goes into this fiercely addictive dish is made from scratch. The noodles are plump and soft (not stringy and gooey), and the heat of the chiles is balanced with soy for sweetness and sesame for mouthfeel. Have one bite, and we guarantee you’ll have another. Finish the entire bowl, and you’ll be lining up outside for your fix with the rest of the dan dan addicts within a week.
