Our server that day (short lady) was very rude. I had the scallion pancake while my wife had the noodles and she gave her water but not me. She wouldn't even look my way when she was giving water to my wife. I thought maybe she assumed because I'm not eating that I didn't need water? Until another couple came in, and looks like they ordered about the same things a noodle a side dish, but they were each given water.

We ordered the wife's special noodles (includes beef, ground pork, and tomatoes and eggs) and the house special noodles with fried, boiled pork. Portion sizes are generous, so leftovers can be expected. There was also a relatively short wait for the noodles. With little bowls provided, you can share the different noodle dishes. In terms of toppings, I enjoyed the wife's special noodles the most. There were a lot of tasty, tender beef pieces. I enjoyed the sauce and seasoning. The pork from the house special noodles was decent, but the dish overall was a little oily. However, I preferred shape and texture from the house special noodles. There was a nice chewiness to the noodles.

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.

I was recommended to visit this restaurant by a colleague at work, and I saw an ad for it from…read moresocial media as well. The noodle had the right level of thickness for me personally, and the portion size was adequate. A complementary little bowl of white rice was given too to finish off any leftover meat or sauce in the bowl after the noodles were eaten. The restaurant was pretty clean, and the employees were welcoming and attentive. I will happily come back when I'm in the area!

We ordered two of their signature bowls & one mentaiko cream bowl. We also got their signature fries which came with meat and cheese on top. It took quite a while for the food to come out but I didn't mind. I was very impressed with the presentation of their bowls when it arrived. It looked so delicious & I love how they give a full soft boiled egg! The signature bowl was a bit too salty for my taste & had a bit too much ginger. The mentaiko cream bowl was lighter but still had a lot of flavor. Overall, it was pretty decent & the service was great. I'm not sure if I would come back again since it's a bit far from where I live & the food was just okay.

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.

We also tried their Pork Tonkatsu Omurice combo that includes 1 drink choice of Thai Tea or Amazing Lemonade which is what I got. Everything in the combo we ordered was actually worth the price. I love their ramen broth and the noodles here. We liked the popcorn chicken also, it was juicy on the inside and flavorful. The omurice is something that we don't have in San Fernando Valley so I was happy that I get to have this and I love how the omelette was perfectly cooked. It really pairs well with the pork tonkatsu with curry sauce. The Amazing Lemonade really taste refreshing, it taste different that the regular lemonade. The 2 desserts was a perfect way to end the meal. I live the mtcha pudding because you can really taste the matcha flavor in it. The Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly is also really good if you want something on the lighter aide of dessert, it isn't too sweet or creamy. We also ordered drinks to go from the Tbaar and got the Amazing Milk Black Tea (large) and the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea & they all came with bobas already. SERVICE: They're staff/servers were all nice and very attentive, they really provide great cuatomer service. AMBIENCE: The inside is so aesthetic, I love the Japanese modern vibe. The restaurant is spacious, lots of seating, great for families with kids and big groups and clean. I'm glad I saw this place in yelp while we were driving by.

Review is for hu tieu or house special noodle soup only. If you like Kim Kee/Ky, Sam's Noodle…read moreStation, or Mien Nghia style rice noodle soup, Macky's still got it in flavor and value. Complimentary hot tea is ALWAYS a plus. They give almost 2 pork kidney slices, 2 shrimps, 2 fishballs, 2 mixed meatballs, a whole lotta chicken, around 3 slices of pork, and a spoonful of ground pork. Their broth is pretty light at this location (really similar to the Kim Kee near Rosemead Blvd and Garvey Ave), but their ground pork (I suspect it's Taiwanese-style because it's a braised flavor) added a good savory flavor to balance the soup. It was very heartwarming for a cold night, tastes like childhood, and brings me a refreshed, satisfying breath ~ like finishing a bowl of pho. When they had the other location more north, I felt it was kind of pricey. At $12.99 right now, I think it's a great value for a variety noodle soup nowadays. Please go support this small business! I don't want to see it close. They also expanded their menu with more Taiwanese dishes to cater to the locals. I will be back for the tasting.

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.

This one was good and the only thing I would come back for. They had various stuff dumplings. The pork dumplings were a little bland. The beef dumplings were good but were not out of this world.

We had to ask for things more than once. They do have a self service sauce station for your dumplings sauces.
