LA | So Many Nostalgic Snacks Here! Just Like School Gate Flavors

Driving by and spotting “American California Beef Noodle King” totally cracked me up 😂. Turns out it’s the former Student Food Era. Gotta say, the prices here are super wallet-friendly. I expected mostly students, but the crowd was all ages—young, middle-aged, even seniors. Guess great value really does attract everyone! 👍 【Signature Braised Beef Hand-Pulled Noodles】 A new item! I was just here for snacks, but the staff insisted I try this—they even went back to Northeast China to master the recipe🍜. The broth is rich, and the hand-pulled noodles are wonderfully chewy. As a southerner, I’m seriously impressed! The beef is tender, flavorful, and the portion? Huge! 【Mixed Chicken Skeleton】 A classic Northeastern drinking snack 🍻. I can’t resist ordering chicken skeleton anywhere—gnawing on the bones is just so satisfying! Well-seasoned and highly recommended for bone lovers. 【Changsha Stinky Tofu in Soup】 Crispy outside, tender inside, soaked in savory broth—one bite and the soup bursts out! Authentic and delicious 😋. 【Qiaotou Spare Ribs & School-Gate Fried Chicken Strips】 Back in China, I’d always order these for delivery! Crispy, juicy, and generously meaty—sprinkled with cumin, they’re absolutely addictive! 【Fried Skewer Wrap】 My favorite! Skewers wrapped in a soft flatbread—so good! I loaded mine with cabbage, potatoes, ham, pork tenderloin, and grilled squid. Packed with fillings and perfectly seasoned. If I lived nearby, I’d have this for breakfast every day! 🌯 【Claypot Beef Tendon Stew】 Loaded with collagen-rich beef tendon! The potatoes are amazing too—great with rice or just the broth alone. 【Egg-Stuffed Pancake】 Golden and crispy, with fluffy egg layers inside 🥞. I added pork tenderloin and ham—soft egg, savory meat, slightly sweet notes… every bite takes me back to childhood street food vibes. 【Pork Tenderloin Skewers & Grilled Gluten Skewers】 Must-tries! Tender meat, springy gluten, brushed with secret sauce—so moreish! Psst… I noticed a ton of people picking up takeout, so I checked—they’re on 🍙 with new-user deals! Items like Northeastern Rice Wrap and fried chicken strips are even $0 for first orders 😍.
