Xian Gourmet Midtown | Flavorful, But… 🥙🍜

Just tried the much-talked-about Xian Gourmet in Midtown — and the food truly delivered, even if the experience had its quirks. Here’s the honest breakdown: 🥙 Roujiamo (Chinese Burger) The meat was incredibly tender, richly seasoned, and the fatty bits melted like heaven in your mouth. The bread? Toasted till tree-tree crispy outside, soft inside — absolutely delicious! 🍜 Liangpi (Cold Skin Noodles) & Biang Biang Noodles The liangpi had that classic chewy texture and balanced sauce. The Biang Biang noodles were wonderfully stretchy and springy — though the soup ratio was a bit high, making the dish slightly wetter than ideal. Flavor-wise, still a win! ⚠️ But Here’s the Catch… It’s essentially a takeout spot — no real service, no water served (bottled water is $1), and everything comes in disposable plates and bowls. We were the first table at 11 AM, yet waited 40 minutes for our food. Fully self-service — so tipping felt… optional? 🙃 📦 Final Verdict The flavors are authentic and satisfying, and prices are fair — but the overall vibe is more “grab-and-go” than “dine-in.” My advice? Order for pickup — enjoy those amazing roujiamo and noodles wherever you feel most comfortable. 📍 Xian Gourmet Midtown Atlanta #XianGourmet #AtlantaEats #ChineseFood #Roujiamo #BiangBiangNoodles #FoodReview #TakeoutRecommended #NoFrillsDining
