It is located inside of the Sheraton hotel and everything inside is quite modern. The restaurant has a lounge steakhouse vibe to it. We made reservation using Resy for a Wednesday night. We ordered the Omaniku menu set which comes with 11 items and added a number of add ons to make the menu more spectacular. I recommend to try everything. Food tasted delicious, presentation was memorable, and the staff were spectacular. The drink menu was limited but had great options. I will definitely be dining here again!

A typical fancy omakase meal that I'm not sure if I would come back…read more The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat). I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part ... and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense

Saw a new place opened up in Arcadia and I had to try it! I've been seeing suancai fish restaurants…read morepop up and I've always been curious - I'm glad I gave it a try because it is soo good. It wad pretty empty on Saturday at 11:30am but it got busier around 12pm. I had no idea what to order but the employee was really nice and gave me a few recommendations. She told me to pick a soup flavor, then a fish type, then 2 toppings for the soup. I decided to get the traditional laotan suancai soup and I chose the basa fish fillet and vermicelli and evoki mushroom to add in my soup. It came with a bowl of rice. I also added a side of crispy pork and coconut lava balls for dessert. I didnt really know what to expect but I was really impressed with the flavor of the soup. Its hard to describe but the soup was tangy, refreshing, and had a spicy kick to it. It pairs perfect with a hot bowl of rice. The crispy pork was also very good, flavorful. I also really enjoyed the coconut lava balls - they were the perfect sweet treat after all the savory items. Portions are generous and the employee helped me pack up my leftovers. I would say that the price is pretty good for the amount of food you get! Will definitely be back to try more souppppp!

There is a great mixture of sushi and yakiniku courses as well as some super refreshing palate cleansers between servings. The yakiniku literally melted in the mouth - yep that meat is special :) While it's not cheap here, the quality and taste really are worth it.

The course featured both A5 Japanese and American wagyu and there was a lot of attention to detail throughout the meal. We started with the wagyu tartare and hamachi and both tasted super fresh. The steamed egg with abalone was silky smooth and comforting, while the cod was rich, buttery, and fatty in the best way. I also enjoyed the fresh crudité with the red miso dip as a lighter bite in between courses. The meats were definitely the highlight. The beef tongue was thick and flavorful, and I especially liked the scallion kosho because it balanced out some of the richness. The ribeye, short rib, and chuck were beautifully marbled, and the fresh wasabi was a nice touch that complemented the meat well instead of overpowering it. We also ordered the bone marrow rice on the side and I'm glad we did. It was rich, packed with flavor, and had chunks of meat mixed throughout. Our server also brought out birthday shots poured through the bone marrow which made the experience extra fun and memorable. Finished everything off with mandarin sorbet and vanilla ice cream which was refreshing after such a rich meal. Overall a fun dining experience with quality ingredients and good service.

The hospitality is genuinely warm and welcoming you're treated like a regular even on your first visit. This was actually my first time ever trying Chinese skewers, and wow what an introduction. The skewers are made to order, incredibly fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Every skewer comes out sizzling, packed with bold, smoky, savory flavors that are completely addictive. The food was so good that I almost forgot to take a picture, which says everything. It's the kind of place where passion for food and community truly shines through. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend we will definitely be back again!

Really hope good things for this newer, still in modeling, family business…read more. Its tucked away in a pretty dead plaza and doesn't even have signage yet. You can tell they're trying to be thoughtful about the decoration and both the staff seemed very warm and welcoming but the meat tasted either overcooked or not the most fresh (which makes sense with how tricky running a good business could be today), the flavor was a bit too intense.. even with alcohol I don't think id enjoy the overly seasoned msg&salt mixture.. both mild and medium spiciness tasted the same, and as much as I adored the super fluffy and friendly cat, I dont think other guests would be cool with it jumping onto our tables or shedding so much of its super soft fur everywhere! Good luck, though!!

Tried a majority of the menu items and so far, everything was yum and tasty! Ambiance is your typical Asian setting service...but still quick and efficient. This location also has private rooms if you are looking for a room for a small event. Room for three tables max.

Note: This review is solely for the service. Wait...what service?…read more I happened to spot this place while running an errand, and decided to give it a try. Walked in... then walked right back out. There was an older Asian lady with a short pixie haircut working the front. She looked like the only person around. I stood there for a few minutes waiting to be served. She looked at me. I looked at her. She walked back to the register. Then she went to serve a table and looked at me. I looked back. Then she walked back to the register and turned her back to me. I walked over to the menu. She looked at me again. I looked back. At that point, it felt like we were in one of those romantic K-dramas where two people keep exchanging glances... except nobody ever said a word. Then she went to help someone else without so much as a "Hi," or an "I'll be with you in a minute." So I took the hint and walked out. For the first time in my life that I left a restaurant without ordering because of a silent staring contest. That was definitely... interesting. Onto the next adventure.

So happy to see more Xi'an food popping up around SGV, especially when it's done this well. As…read moresomeone born and raised in Xi'an, the flavors here felt genuinely authentic, and I already know I'll be back. We ordered the Youpo Noodles with Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Sandwich, and Cumin Lamb Sandwich. The marinated beef sandwich was the standout. They absolutely nailed the execution, from the tender, flavorful meat to the texture of the bread. I would come back for this alone. It immediately took me back to eating rou jia mo from a street cart while walking around Xi'an, which is about the highest compliment I can give it. The noodles were freshly handmade, wonderfully springy, and completely soaked with flavor. The beef brisket made them even more satisfying. The cumin lamb sandwich was the only item I felt slightly on the fence about. The filling was good, but I personally wanted a little more seasoning and a stronger cumin flavor. The interior is spacious and clean, service was fast and painless, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. Such a great addition to Arcadia and easily one of the better Xi'an spots I've tried in the area.

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.
