XiBei Is Serving Sincerity 🫣 A Feast for Just $25 Per Person

As an Inner Mongolian, it’s wild that this was my first time trying XiBei! I’ve wanted to for a while, but held back after the earlier controversies — didn’t want to ruin the fantasy. But when I saw this insanely tempting deal at the mall, I had to try! We ordered the $98 set for 4–6 people — 6 dishes + a whole Peking duck! Unbeatable value, and the service was great. Feels like XiBei is now humble, sincere, and eager to please — hope they keep it up 🙏 🥟 XIBEI 📍 400 S Baldwin Ave #2045, Arcadia, CA 91007 🅿️ Free parking They have 3 budget-friendly set menus — averaging ~$25/person. We got the $98 set, which includes: 💥 As an authentic Northwesterner, here’s my honest take: 🥬 XiBei Big Salad — Loved this “Northwest-style salad”! The vinaigrette is classic, veggies are fresh (purple cabbage included — a local favorite). Crisp, tangy, and refreshing — a safe but tasty start. 🐑 Hand-Torn Lamb in Broth — Clear-broth lamb demands top-quality meat. This batch was a bit too lean — needs more fat and longer stewing for that rich, fragrant taste. But no gaminess! Already gave feedback to the manager — they said they’ll improve. 🍙 Oat Noodle Nests — Such a Northwestern carb! Chewy, low-fat oat noodles with tomato sauce — gets better the more you chew. Fellow Northwesterners will appreciate this! 🍡 Golden Millet Cake — My favorite dessert! Made from millet and sticky rice, fermented naturally for 72 hours. Soft, fragrant, dotted with raisins and cranberries — subtly sweet and not cloying! 🐟 Sour Cabbage Fish, Sweet & Sour Ribs, Dry-Fried Green Beans — Solid homestyle dishes. Nothing groundbreaking, but reliable within the set. 🍗 Peking Duck — We all loved it! Comparable to Meizhou Dongpo’s version — a whole fatty duck, super satisfying! Served with their house-fermented yogurt — a perfect tangy finish. 🍖 Lamb Spine Hotpot — As someone who cooks this often (a Northern winter essential!), it was tasty — though could be richer with fattier cuts. At today’s prices, $98 for this spread is a steal — perfect for when you’re craving Peking duck, homestyle dishes, and Northwestern specialties in one meal. Also eyeing their Tajine Braised Noodles for next time! 😋 #XiBeiLA #BudgetFeast #PekingDuck #NorthwesternCuisine #ArcadiaEats #LAFoodDeals
