I really enjoyed the food here. If you like hand pulled noodles this a good place to go. There is a lot of lamb on the menu so if you don’t like the gamey taste then I would avoid the lamb dishes. Pretty reasonably priced and quick service.
Food: 4.25 stars Service/environment: 4 stars Value: 4.25 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: hand pulled noodles with spicy lamb, fried chicken leg
The two things you should definitely order here are the fried chicken leg and the hand pulled noodles. The chicken leg is stuffed with scallions which is a bit too much onion taste for me. However, you can easily take it out. The chicken is really juicy and delicious. The pulled noodles have that springiness that you want from this type of noodle and I enjoyed the light sauce it was in. Food is not what I would typically think of from. Shanxi restaurant as there was no 肉夹馍 or the pappardelle type noodle bolognese and felt like more Muslim style Chinese food. Food is really tasty though and looks forward...
Read moreVERY RUDE! Tourist better stay away!
We were recommended the restaurant by one of our friends. When we walked in during lunch time, the guy at the counter, a middle aged man says there’s no seats in Mandarin. We saw empty tables and diners leaving though so we told him we can wait. Then, he repeated the same three words for FOUR TIMES with a gesture suggesting us to leave.
We were curious and googled. Found out that they were on half day.
I mean come on, seriously. He could have explained that it’s closing time and we would have walked away happily. Instead, his limited vocabulary really puts us off.
Appalling.
Will never step foot on this restaurant.

Read moreI think they modified their menu... But I always make reservation in advance for boiled dumplings which are stuffed with pork, chives and spices. Here is the key to dive into their bilingual menu: check their Yi Liang Yuan Pao... for 5 dumplings. Must order their Meng Ku Cha Nai Tou... for Mongolian fried milky Tofu.. which is at last page - dessert. And Meat soup with their Pao No (traditional way to eat with the meat soup)... My favorite vegetable - Chin Pien Wa Wa Tsai... stir-fried cabbage (chinese specie - baby cabbage).. choose any dish you want from their pictural menu... Also like their His Chao Tofu with bamboo and vegetables... Xi'an Cuisine brings the ancient Chinese Cuisine back to our modern era! Nice...
