I tried their vegetable and refreshing liangpi / cold noodles, and they were both delicious and, as the name implies, perfectly refreshing and the best possible meal for a hot summer day

Xi'an Cuisine — neighborhood chinese in Chinatown. Order the biang biang noodles. The kind of place your parents probably knew about too. Well-priced, owner on site. D “Juanito” H: "I am not sure what all these 5 star reviews are all about, the food here is 4 stars at the best" [$]

absolutely amazing! Found this place on Instagram, and the flatbreads do not disappoint!! get the veggie flatbread and the marinated beef! The waitress recommended a veggie noodle dish that was amazing as well! We've already gone twice in two days 😜🔥

Comida típica que debes de probar. No se compara con nada de comidas rápidas o comidas ya de cadenas. Comida realmente china. Las gyosas deliciosas tienes que probarlas. Las alitas de pollo también. La sopa una delicia que no te puedes perder. Lo único malo es que la mesera atiende bien rápido y en chino con inglés pero pues vale totalmente la pena!

Been here consistently for the past 8 years or so. Definitely recommend- quick and delicious food :) I have tried almost everything on their menu, and I believe you simply cannot go wrong here! The server is kind and helpful.

Yummy! The cumin lamb buns are top tier and the beef/chicken skewers are quite good.

A cozy spot serving flavorful Xi’an dishes. We tried the Biang Biang noodles, sesame noodles, and cumin lamb crepe - the Biang Biang was the clear standout with its perfectly chewy texture and rich flavor, though all dishes were really solid. The space has a warm mom-and-pop feel that adds to the charm.

I have no idea what we ordered, but everything was delicious. The lamb sandwich type thing and the noodles were my favorite! The server was very nice and offered me a fork and other items since I was struggling a bit with chopsticks. I kept using the chopsticks though.

Always our first stop when we come to Chinatown. Get a roujia mo with your favorite filling- you will be glad you did!

Came here for the lamb sandwich, which was super tasty, but tbh I think the marinated beef was even better. Service was pretty fast.
