And I could be wrong as someone who is not Chinese, but this is a very popular spot even for solo diners (all Chinese btw). Their sliced potato and pig ears have the PERFECT mala buzz spice. I would not recommend their cucumber dish as it's pretty bland and devoid of punchy garlic notes especially juxtaposed with two fantastic sides. Their spicy beef noodle soup is fantastic. Get the wide noodles. They're chewy, uber long, perfect texture, and my mouth is watering just typing this out and thinking about it. Bring your friends, even your Chinese friends. You won't be disappointed.

She also explained the sauces to us and when we combined them it made such a flavorful dip for the already flavor-packed dumplings. We really enjoyed them. We also split the House Special Fried Noodle. I was a fan of the wide noodles and the wood ear mushrooms, and this was my favorite dish that we ordered. That would have been enough food for the two of us but we couldn't leave without their famous Lao Xi'er Special Beef Noodle Soup. The broth was clean and balanced, the meat was so tender, and the noodles were the perfect texture. It won't be our last time here!

This place has been on my bookmark for a little bit, so I'm glad that I got to try today. I…read moredefinitely want to start with a positive. I really like their Lao Xi'er Special Beef Noodle Soup (mild spicy ) and Jelly Fish with Black Fungus. The beef was very tender and the noodle had a good chew. I did enjoy the jellyfish dish that was different from other places, just wish the pieces weren't as big. We also ordered Pork & Leek Dumplings. It was pretty average. We really didn't like the House Special Fried Noodle, which lack flavor and the Green onion pancake. The pancake barely had any green onions and was a little too dense. I think we would only come back for the beef noodle dish that was the start of dinner.

You walk in thinking, "I'll just grab a quick bowl," and suddenly there's a noodle master stretching dough like he's training for the Olympics. Their Lanzhou-style noodles? Fresh, chewy, and honestly a little too good--they'll ruin instant ramen for you forever. The Lan noodle soup is so rich and savory. The died mixed noodle feels like a warm hug... if hugs came with chili oil and a kick that sneaks up on you. It's a small, busy spot, so yeah, you might wait--but don't worry, the line moves fast. Plus, it gives you time to emotionally prepare for choosing your noodle shape. Thin? Wide? Triangle? This is not a decision to take lightly. One wrong move and you'll be thinking about it halfway through your bowl like, "I should've gone wider."

I like how they have expanded their menu with additional options other than simply noodle options…read more We tried their pork pan fried dumplings (3/5) since the skin was overpoweringly thick, but the filling was decent. They have a small and large sweet and sour chicken rice plate. I had gotten the small size just to try it out, but it was surprisingly good (5/5). The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.

For him he thinks that was a good enough portion because it tasted a bit too creamy for him. For me it wasn't enough! It was soooo deliciousssss. Dry noodles here for the win! Worth the $18! Service was okay, we didn't needed too much this time around but they have enough people that you can wave down. And they have the whole water for yourself to refill. Would definitely come back. Already craving for another as I am writing this review.

Didn't want to cook dinner so decided to order some takeout from Menya to eat at home. It was my…read morefirst time ordering takeout from here but I dined in before and enjoyed their ramen noodles. I placed my order through their website and ordered the original Nagoya Mazesoba non-spicy with poached egg (15.29). I selected the earliest pick up time and then headed to the restaurant a few minutes before. However, to my surprise, the staff told me that my order wasn't ready yet and would need another 10 to 15 minutes. This is already after the 15 minutes of the promised due time when I placed my order, so I had no choice but to wait outside the store. This made my experience annoying because now I waited a total 25 minutes for my food. They should not have put an asap ordering with a due time if their kitchen wouldn't be able to meet the time. It seemed to me that their kitchen forgot to cook my order until I arrived at the store and they noticed the order, because my order was ready 10 minutes after I arrived and waited outside. The only good thing is the staff was nice enough to bring out my food instead of letting me go inside to get it after the time they told me passed. This is why I had to drop a star in my review. As for the noodles, it is similar to my memory of how it tasted. The sauce is very flavorful and a bit greasy as you get to the last couple bites. But the portion is still a bit small and also the noodle texture seemed not as chewy and soft. It might be because it is takeout or the kitchen was in a rush to cook it. But overall it was just alright and not as good as I remembered. If I do come again, I will dine in to see if the noodles taste any better. Because of this, I definitely would just recommend dining in. Dining in also gets the free bowl of rice.

XiAn Foodie 李老三 serves food that is not only delicious, but authentic and full of soul. The handmade noodles were impressive. perfectly chewy and springy, soaking up the rich sauce. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying! The lamb skewers, beef skewers, beef shank noodles, lamb & carrot dumplings, and oil-splashed noodles are all highly recommended. Everything was tender, aromatic, and clearly prepared with great care and attention to flavor and ingredients. Spice lovers will definitely be happy here, but even if you normally don't eat spicy food, you'll still find yourself going back for bite after bite. The restaurant itself is simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable, with the warm feeling of a beloved local spot. The service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly, creating a relaxed and welcoming dining experience. Especially after a long day, having a hot bowl of their oil-splashed noodles feels genuinely comforting. If you enjoy unique Xi'an cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You can taste that the flavors have not been overly adjusted just to appeal to the masses. Instead, the restaurant preserves the authentic spirit, warmth, and bold flavors of traditional Xi'an cooking.

This was my first time trying Xi'an-style cuisine, and it turned out to be a great introduction. A…read morefriend suggested the spot after our pickleball game, and we ended up ordering a wide variety of dishes to share: shrimp fried rice, beef dumplings, lamb and beef skewers, smashed cucumbers, garlic bok choy, wide hand-pulled noodles with a mix of meats, and a large chicken and potato dish, among others. Overall, most of the dishes were solid. The only one I could have skipped was the chicken and potato dish...it just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I think this was the dish that we took leftovers since everyone else also felt a similar way regarding that dish. The skewers were well-cooked, but the cumin flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste, and it lingered longer than I would've liked. With that said, there were definitely some highlights. I really loved the shrimp fried rice and the beef dumplings, but my favorite was the wide noodle dish with mixed meats. It was incredibly flavorful and hit all the right notes. I actually ordered it after noticing another table enjoying the same dish. Honestly, their reactions said everything and it absolutely lived up to the expectation. The owner was warm and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant itself is very clean, with bright lighting and a modern aesthetic that makes it feel inviting. Parking is also convenient, with plenty of space available in the back garage. All in all, it's a spot I'd recommend for anyone looking to try authentic flavors from the Xi'an region.

Food: Ordered the house noodle soup with thick yellow noodles and rice noodles. Unfortunately, the flavors do not taste the same as they did in their old location. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Service: The staff is nice. This is a very small operation compared to their old site so there is just one person handling everything outside. Environment: The store location is horrible in that if you're coming from the East it is hard to access. The parking lot is horrible and with very limited space.

I always order the Pork Kidney & Shrimp with either rice vermicelli (A) or flat rice noodles (C). The kidney is fresh with generous portions, pairing nicely with the light broth. It's a very comforting dish, and I find myself craving it quite often. Small note, but if you get it for takeout like I usually do, be careful when transporting it since the soup has leaked a few times for me. Their Taiwanese Beef Noodle is also worth trying. The broth is on the thicker, rich side, with a flavorful spice and large cuts of tender beef. The noodles are wide and chewy, which are my personal favorite for beef noodle soups. The shop itself may look small and unassuming, but their food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Please come and support this mom and pop shop, you won't be disappointed!

The only con is I felt very thirsty afterwards. I didn't even drink the soup. So I think it might have some msg or something to make the soup more flavorful. I usually don't feel as thirsty when I had other Guilin noodles from other restaurants. The ambience is inside of a food court so it's super casual and simple.
