LA Late-Night Canteen: Crispy Sweet & Sour Pork

Craving authentic late-night comfort food? Head to Alhambra’s new spot Student Days Rice Noodles BBQ—I came for their clay pot noodles and ended up falling for their sweet & sour pork and grilled fish too! 🐟❤️ Went here with coworkers after a Friday shift and felt instantly transported back to college night markets 🏫🌙 The menu is full of nostalgic street eats: chicken skeletons, fried chicken tenders, crayfish, grilled pork trotters… every bite bursts with wok-hei energy and memories 🍢🔥 Must-tries: 🍜 Northeastern Clay Pot Rice Noodles — Rich bone broth, silky noodles, soul-warming to the core. 🍖 Sweet & Sour Pork (Guobaorou) — Crispy outside, tender inside, perfectly balanced sweet & tangy flavor. Dare I say… some of the best in LA? 😉 🐟 Spicy Grilled Fish — Fried then simmered, infused with bold spices and loaded with tasty veggies. 🍢 Skewers & Beer — Grilled chicken cartilage, “shi dan” (solid egg), all perfect with a cold drink! Open until 2 AM on weekends, it’s the ideal spot for post-work hangs or late-night munchies 🕑🍻 📍 Student Days Rice Noodles BBQ #100RestaurantChallenge #FoodInspo #LAFoodFinds #LateNightEats
