“Food was great!! Servers were so kind and they have lots of seats. I especially loved the egg drop soup it was very viscous. Portion size is great, they give at least two servings.”
“I just moved to the area and I am so stoked to find this gem! The food and service here are outstanding. The main server is very friendly and explains menu items whenever I ask. The portions are huge if you ask me. Tons of flavor and spicy food. Very authentic, too. I highly recommend the Mala spicy lamb pot (huge and loaded with veggies and lamb), and I always get the garlic Chinese spinach which is amazing and the portion is huge (way better than the spicy green beans everyone bragged about). Also the spicy eggplant dish was excellent, slightly sweet and fish sauce with garlic and tons of hot peppers. I have to eat gluten-free besides soy sauce, so I can't try many of the popular noodle dishes, but I've been happy to order several soups and hot pots with the vermicelli starch noodles. I enjoyed the spicy hot pot with vermicelli, but I'd pass up the pork bone soup next time (one of the only dishes I've had there that lacked in flavor and depth...although the price was a steal!)”
“It has been a while since I had some genuine Shaanxi food. Xi’an Cuisine takes me back to the time I was having food back in China. Very traditional Shaanxi food is being served here. Besides the Biang Biang Noodles, there are a lot of great dishes to explore. Highly recommended 👍”
“If you have a craving for Shaanxi food, this is the place! The paomo, biang biang noodles, and lamd skewers were my favorites. Service was great and I can't wait to go back.”
“I had a great meal here with plenty of options to choose from and a variety of good prices! The mango shrimp was my favorite. The staff were very friendly and quick to refill drinks & bring out food.”
“If you are looking good Chinese food in the west loop this is for sure the spot. The staff was very friendly and did a great job at explaining the menu option, they were very accommodating to our diet restrictions & ensured we were satisfied with our meals. I had the tofu and has been one of the best ones I have tried even my known vegetarian friends were a fan. If you have a sweet tooth and want to try something trendy the drumsticks ice cream is also very recommended.”
“I’ve been looking for a solid, dependable Chinese place near where I live in west loop and I think I finally found it! I ordered the twice cooked pork and dry noodles, both of which I quite enjoyed. I feel like the pork had quite a punch to it if you aren’t prepared for the peppers (a welcome surprise though). Have yet to try this restaurant in person, but I’m glad to have somewhere nearby with solid, authentic Chinese fare.”
“推荐大盘鸡，土豆很入味，拉面够薄够筋道。 干煸四季豆，豆子很有嚼头，当地菜有特点。 麻婆豆腐超好吃，服务的小伙子居然自作主张，送我们三碗🍚。饭吃了两碗，后来上的美味的大盘鸡只能硬着头皮上。 我猜当地的面粉为了健康，含糠量高，面皮虽然劲道，咀嚼口感和味道却一般。 味道不错，价格实惠，分量足。 五星好评”
“The food is super good! High recommend! Will eat here again. Good food good atmosphere good service. Good for a group or just solo.”
“This place is so good!! Huge portions for the price and really clean and delicious. We got the orange chicken and Mongolian chicken dinners and they were both really good. One dollar noodle upgrade is totally worth it!”
“I had such a great experience here! The Biang Biang noodles are absolutely amazing—perfectly chewy, full of flavor, and authentic in every bite. The portions are generous, and the seasonings are just right, with that rich, comforting taste you hope for in a good bowl of noodles. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into both the food and the service. If you’re looking for authentic Chinese comfort food, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back”
