Updated April 2026
Alexandria's Sichuan scene is a mix of specialized artisan kitchens and high-heat neighborhood favorites. While the anticipated Peter Chang location in South Alex is currently targeted for fall 2026, these verified spots are the current champions of Dan Dan Noodles (dandanmian) in the city.
