About 二娃冷锅鱼 erwa cold pot fish

Erwa Cold Pot Fish is a casual, authentic Sichuan eatery in San Gabriel known for its consistently good and flavorful food. The signature cold pot fish is not actually cold; the fish and broth are served hot but not kept boiling, which keeps the black fish slices super tender, smooth, fresh, and clean. The menu features many dishes, including the must-order golden soup tofu beef, described as rich, tangy, sour, comforting, and generous with beef. Other noted items are the spicy Champagne Fish, the Tomato Beef & Tofu Pot, Sichuan cold noodles, roasted duck, and appetizers like marinated shredded pig ears in five spice and slice beef with chili powder. The slice beef belly in spicy and sour golden soup is a favorite for being fatty and sour.

The flavors are authentic and packed with spice, with a warning that even a medium spice level can be quite spicy. Portions are generous. The interior has a good vibe. Service is generally friendly, warm, patient, and attentive, though it can slow down when the restaurant is very busy. It is considered a solid spot that never disappoints and is highly recommended for those seeking genuine Sichuan cuisine.
