Old Xian's Noodle House — Restaurant in Coquitlam

The table was sticky, and so was the menu paper. My friend and I ordered what the server lady recommended, but both dishes were awful. The noodle was stuck together like a clay ball, and the sauce and toppings were not mixing well. We had to add more salt and spicy oil, but still… The server didn’t come to check on us regarding water refill or food. We had to walk up to the counter to pay and wait for her to finish packing to-go orders for a few minutes. And of course, she forced me to pay in cash, so I did. She hesitated to return the change, and I was like ?? It was obvious she wanted me to tell her to keep the change, but no, I’m not leaving a 40%tip just bc you don’t want to return the change? especially when if the food and service were horrible. However, I did leave a 10% tip, and then the lady was like, "Huh? Okay? 🙄🙄". grow up lady. If you want to earn tip money, you gotta provide better food and service.

Huge letdown at Old Xian's Food.

Review: So, me and the boys hit up this spot. Big mistake. Service was a total trainwreck. I ordered a simple egg and tomato dish, and guess what? I watched everyone chow down while I got ghosted by the kitchen for like, an eternity (1 hr, no joke). When I finally flagged the waiter, they hit me with "Oh, it's still cooking" – yeah right. Then, plot twist, they asked me to order something else 'cause mine was apparently still in the Twilight Zone. My friends were done and dusted by the time anything happened.

Asked for a freebie for the trouble, got a laughable 10% off instead. Joke's on them – that's what they offer for a review. So here's me, cashing in on that. Heads up, the food's not even worth it. Do yourself a solid and swipe left on this...

Definitely must try and should you your stable food!

This place offers truly authentic Xi’an Chinese food. You can tell they didn’t cut any corners, from the marinating to the frying and stir-frying of the cumin lamb—it’s full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The hand-pulled noodles are a must-try, with a perfect texture that you won’t find just anywhere. The shredded potatoes are so light, you’d hardly think you’re eating potatoes, as the starch is minimal and the dish feels incredibly delicate.

The service is top-notch! From the warm greeting to expert menu recommendations, attentive tea refills, and thoughtful check-ins, the entire experience was seamless and heartwarming.

Parking can be tricky sometimes, but we had no problem finding a spot on a...
