Xi'an Famous Foods 西安名吃

I got the cold noodles which is one of the few vegan options. The noodles are tasty. They are quite authentic.

Large portion too. Good value for money.

Honestly the noodles are pretty decent and the pork is nicely done but the dumplings leave a lot to be desired. The dumpling skin is so thick that all you taste is the wrapper and the meat barely has any flavor. I would just stick with the hand pulled noodles that are pretty tasty. The chrysanthemum tea also works well cooling off your palate

The hand-pulled noodles are incredible! Super flavorful and spicy (maybe more spicy than your average noodles). Portions are quite decent, and service is fast. Restaurant is clean, so dining in is a pleasant experience.

Ever since I left NYC 7 years ago I dreamt of coming back to Xi’an, and it seems its popularity has gone to another level in recent years and I am so happy for them!!

The hand pulled noodle is just unmatchable, nothing beats a family recipe passing down from generations.

Tried the dumpling for the first time cause I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on the menu 7 years ago. It’s a solid dumpling meaning it has a lot of meat packed inside the hand rolled dough.

Oh I only wish they franchised to other states ..

The blend of sour and spice is PHENOMENAL!!! Every dish has the perfect blend to keep you hooked. Definitely jam packed with spice but not overly spicy. We loved everything we tried and the food came out fast which was great. The server at the window was helpful in deciding my spice level too

Delicious thick wide hand pulled noodles with a ton of bounciness to the bite (in a good way). Definitely rate the noodles as authentic to Xi'an cuisine especially with the spice blend mixture. Would highly highly recommend to anyone who can handle at least some spiciness, both the flavor and spiciness come from the sauce so if you choose less or no spicy it will have little taste to it due to the minimal amount of sauce.

The burger however is a bit lacking. The meat filling is wonderful and reminds me of Chinese cumin lamb skewers with the meat flavor and texture, but the bun is dry and has a very slight chemical taste to it, like there is too much baking soda or something. The bun is toasted and crispy which is nice but the flavor and dryness has a lot of room for improvement (compared to similar buns I've had in China and other restaurants).

Food to price ratio is really good, the portion sizes are real big, recommend getting just one dish instead of what I did with noodles and a burger which ended up being too much.

The noodles are sooo good and loaded with flavor! Been here on the reg, highly recommend.

The restaurant is self order and open seating so it’s great for dipping in to get a great meal. The process overall is easy to order and they are pretty fast prepping the food. Staff make their rounds regularly to wipe down tables.

The pork and lamb are really good, but the lamb is easier to eat than the minced pork. I had more pork left over and the lamb was devoured. The tea drinks are really good and not sweet with a hint of flavor.
