Had the lamb cumin flat bread and stir fry noodle, it was very good. Staff was friendly. I wasn't impressed with my lychee smoothie. It was okay, but Ive had better.
I got chicken skewers and a cumin lamb Flatbread and a milk taro drink food was good the chicken skewers are DELICIOUS and the Flatbread is big for the price. Staff are not native English speakers so have patience with them they are very sweet
The atmosphere was like you walk into Chinese culture! Staff greeting me as u walked in. And I was offered ice water or hot tea. I choose hot tea; I received the most robust, delightful, fragrant Jasmine tea. I knew it was Jasmine because I have the Jasmine Young living essential oil at home.

I had Biang Biang Noodle number 60, 3 Tapas and Cumin lamb Flatbread. The ingredients are vibrant and decedent. Noodles handmade and not over cooked. This restaurant also validates parking. The best Authentic Chinese food I've ever had. Being honest, growing up on Americanized Chinese food.
I still can't get over the tea. I'll be back forever!!

I ordered biang biang noodles with wide hand pulled noodles. The noodles are soft and good but the soup lack beefy and spicy flavor. I wish they have soy sauce on the table but they don’t. Not thirsty after eating so that’s a good sign.
If you're looking for a heart warming noodle meal, look no further. Xian Cuisine is a great restaurant spot in the heart of Chicago Chinatown and definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend the biang biang noodles!
Really good taste!!! No public restrooms, I ordered the pork potstickers, there is fresh spices inside, very good. Ordered #91 stir fried cold noodle with the beef. The beef is close to a roast beef texture sliced thinly. The noodles were a bit too floppy for my liking but honestly the flavor is there, maybe someone was training in the kitchen and left the noodles soaking too long.
Came here 3 times in a week during travel. Very small restaurant and can get super busy. But the food is authentic, their noodles are really good. Most dishes has strong flavors, like the BianBian noodle and their braised lamb chop. But other noodles are actually not so heavy on sauce, instead you can taste the original flavor of the food itseld. The special thing is here everything taste like what they supposed to, instead all dishes taste a like. I think their cold green bean noodle (凉皮）and fried noodle （炒拉皮） are all very yummy. Their flat bread lamb soup and lamb soup noodles are white soup with plain taste. Their 羊杂汤 is also super tasty with strong lamb flavor.
