The Chinese Laundry Truck Now Dishing Sichuan Cold Noodles Downtown

Have you spotted Downtown’s newest food truck cruising around lately? It’s called the Chinese Laundry truck, and it’s been floating in and around the Arts District for a few weeks now.

As the name implies, this is pan-Chinese food, served up either straightforward — cold Sichuan noodles, say — or fusion-ized, as is the case with their cumin beef cheek tacos. But hey, they’re actually making the tortillas to order.

For now there are a few semi-dedicated stops along their weekly route, including lunch runs to the Two California Plaza building. Thursday nights are for the Arts District Farmers Market from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., while the rest are mostly TBD on a rotating basis. You can follow along on Twitter of course, just like the old days.
