Chong Qing Special Noodles | Infatuation Score: 8.2 | SW Score: 9.1

Though the decor and vibe leave a lot to be desired, it won't matter when you'll inevitably slip away into Szechuan peppercorn laden space beyond our mortal realm at some point during the meal. Noodles bounce, tastebuds sing and foreheads sweat in this temple of all that is good from China's heat forward southwestern province.

Highlights:
Nearly the entire menu
Cold chicken (Yes, I know. Trust.)
Namesake noodles

Lowlights:
You will be miserable here if you can't handle/don't like spicy
This might as well be in San Diego if you're driving from the west side
