Dry mix noodle and Beef Noodle Soup 牛腩面
Ellen H.

Really delicious noodles. The texture was great. Beware, the dry mix noodle "mild" is VERY SPICY. The soup noodles are good though. Service is quick and it's definitely more of a take-out vibe.

Been wanting to try this spot. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or eugh. I got their pork rou jia muo, saozi noodles, and beef noodle soup to try. The pork rou jia muo had a fluffy pan fried bun that reminded me of the bing my grandma makes and was filled with savory tender umami pork. The sao zi noodles had savory meat, bright cilantro, crunchy bean sprouts, tofu, soft potato bits, and qq noodles. The beef noodle soup was really comforting and had a savory flavorful broth, tender juicy beef, crunchy boy choy, and soft noodles. Tastes authentic and yummy, Portions are massive, and prices are fare, this place is pretty good. Pork Chinese burger $6.25 Saozi noodles $15.75 Beef noodle soup $16.25

Popcorn chicken

This is a quick and casual Chinese restaurant that's quite cozy. You order at the front cashier and they'll call your number to pick up. Rice isn't available, but you could go next door at Hodori to order steam rice for takeout. I tried the beef noodle soup, popcorn chicken, and fried chicken cutlet. You can between wide or thin noodles for the soup. I thought the broth was savory, a little salty, with tons of braised beef chunks and noodles. For the price you're paying, the bowl had so much food. I couldn't finish it. Both the chicken cutlet and popcorn chicken were tasty. Crunchy on the outside and tender inside. I would definitely go back and try a different type of noodle soup. Compared to the prices of restaurants nearby, this place was pretty reasonable. If you're looking for something quick, come try this eatery.

So Good

I came here with my hubby and Coco our samoyed so we had to look for a place to eat with an outdoor patio. Well we are so glad we found this noodle place...

Dumplings and Beef Noodle Soup 牛腩面
Alice W.

Came in here for lunch during the weekend. My husband and I got the beef noodle soup and dumplings mostly for our toddler. The portion size was pretty great! We were able to feed our kid and share the beef noodle soup together. (We weren't that hungry.) for $25 for the soup and the dumplings wasnt bad. We thought the portion was pretty fair and the amount of noodle and beef were great. The soup felt a little light so we added vinegar. We prefer less salty though so didn't mind. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Self serve water (no ice). They had high chairs for kids. Overall, easy place to get a quick meal.

Guilin Soup, $14.95 prior to tax

Qin West Noodle is located in the promenade at The Shops at Arcadia. You can find Qin West Noodle across from 3 Cats and also from Cha Redefine. Qin West Noodle also has some outdoor seating, in which you can dine with you dog, like my husband and I did this past Sunday. Because The Shops at Arcadia are currently running a special promotion called Dine & Discover (where participating eateries and tea shops are providing discounts and/ or special items with your purchase), we ended up decided to come here for lunch. We arrived a little before 1 pm. My husband waited for a table outside while I went inside to order the following: Guilin Soup, $14.95 prior to tax- I ordered this for my husband to be mild in terms of spicy-ness. My husband didn't think it was spicy at all but he has been trying to consume less spicy foods. He liked the soup and thought it was flavorful. I didn't get to try any. He thought the meat was good but wished there was more. Zhajiang Noodle, $13.35 prior to tax- I didn't want a soup dish and went for a dry style noodle dish instead. I really liked this dish. It was very saucy with pork and flavors of tomato. I also really liked the sliced cucumbers. The noodles itself was really good and had a nice chew to it. The portion size of this dish was big enough for 2-3 people to share. --------------------------------- (Total= $20.64 after Dine & Discover Promotion of $5 off each dish above). Please note that the above total also included a 2.3% transaction fee. This is where I am rather disappointed and annoyed with my dining experience. I paid cash purposely to avoid the transaction fee but yet I was still charged. I did not realize this until way later, after I had already paid and ate my meal. It even says I paid cash on the receipt too... So if you do pay cash, you want to make sure you check that you are not charged the credit card fee. There is some limited seating inside but you may also be able to find a table in the Eat Alley or just around the promenade. Utensils, napkins, water, etc are all self serve. After you pay, you are given a number and you have to wait for your order (whether you ordered to go or for dine in. You can also ask for a plastic lid if you want to take your food home if you dined in).

beef noodle soup
Lucy M.

3.5/5 Zhajiang Noodles $14 a bit too salty. Has leftover meat, which meant great portion, but part of the reason was saltiness. Overall Qin West has some good deals here and there but the taste is rough around the edges ... you will be able to find a better of version of what they offer elsewhere. They are a no tips place so that can be refreshing. FYI extra charge for using credit card.

Beef Noodle Soup 牛腩面 and  Zhajiang Noodle 炸酱面

I've gotten the beef noodle soup several times across the years and it's been consistently great. The price is reasonable and portion size is generous. Would certainly recommend Qin West if you want traditional Chinese noodles and quick/convenient service.

Assortment of dishes
Peter D.

Not sure if this is a hot take, but I genuinely enjoyed my visit here. I thought all the food tasted fresh, and all the items had a very fair price point. It's really hard to find noodles without a soup broth, so having noodles with vegetables on their own made me happy. The service was also super quick. The person taking our order helped my dad navigate all the non-spicy items on their menu. This place is located within the Santa Anita mall, and it was very clean inside. I would definitely go back again!

Beef Noodle Soup 牛腩面
Katie C.

Came here for the Dine & Discover promotion so they had $5 off their Beef Noodle soup which ended up being a great deal! At first the worker there didnt know how to apply the discount, but after the manager stepped in and was able to give us the deal. Service was quick, food was ready in about 5 minutes after ordering. Casual dining spot with indoor seating. Can be a little cleanlier. Portion was huge, came with tons of beef & noodle, free side of chili cucumbers, and a pink lemonade.Noodle texture had a nice bounce, left feeling very full and I had leftovers that I ate for my next meal. (4/5) Definitely worth it during the promotion and I believe I ended up paying ~$12 for the whole meal, which is so affordable in this economy. I was satisfied with this meal though standard (3.5/5) if there was no promo going around.

Food

For a noodle spot, I thought the food here was okay. I saw that they were advertising summer items only available during the summer so decided to give those a try. Chicken Cold Noodles - I thought this was pretty tasty but it also was very simple. It comes with chicken breasts and basically its cold noodles with chili and a few other ingredients. It's refreshing and overall I liked it. (4/5) Fried Chicken - This was new and the flavors were good but I also felt it was a tad lackluster. The chicken wasn't as juicy as I thought and because it comes with the whole thigh there are a lot of bones to go through. It's not something I'd get again personally. (2.5/5) Overall this spot is okay but it's not something I would crave. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get our food as well which was a lot longer than I expected.

Menu 2 - 5/2025
Angela C.

Came by here for dinner with the family and we ordered a couple dry noodles, and couple soup based noodles. Beef Noodle Soup Guilin Soup Dry Mix Noodle Chicken Cold Noodle Popcorn Chicken The noodle soups were pretty good, but the dry noodles were very salty for me personally. Popcorn chicken is good - but you can't really go wrong with fried chicken pieces. One thing to note is that you get extremely good value here. The portions are HUGE, they come in huge paper bowls. My teenaged boys are usually garbage disposals for food, but even they couldn't finish the noodles and we took everything home and enjoyed it again for lunch the next day. Don't expect nice decor here. There are a few tables inside and out, but there are bags of containers and lids throughout the dining area - apparently the dining area doubles as storage. You can help yourself to ice and weird tasting water from their old water machine by the cashier.

Cold Dish - Summer Chicken Noodle
Louise P.

A solid place for a quick meal! The noodles were good quality and we left satisfied with leftovers. We ordered the seasonal summer cold noodle chicken dish and the beef noodle soup. The soup itself was well balanced and the beef was incredibly soft and melts in your mouth. One of their best sellers for a reason! The cold noodle was quite refreshing, but I thought the chicken was a bit salty. I couldn't get enough of the chili oil peanuts they add to the dish. They're super addicting! The service was nice and fast. The ambience is very casual with a few spots inside and outside. Great deal for the price and quality! Good for a meal break during your shopping trip.

I met a friend here for dinner and had a great dine-in experience. We both ordered their "Original Nagoya Mazesoba" $15.29 and got their Karaage $8.99 to share. It was my first time here and I figured the famous original dish is always good. The noodles are thick, and all of the strands had their own little bounce to them, just the way I like it! It arrives unmixed so I also enjoyed vigorously mixing it myself and seeing it all come together. I especially enjoyed popping the poached egg on top and seeing the egg oooozing, paired with the minced pork, green onions, chives, dish powder, seaweed, and garlic. They have really perfected the recipe here to make the perfect dry noodle dish! If you dine in, the servers will also bring you a scoop of rice. I didn't really understand it at first as to why, but I later finished my noodles and thought "oooohhhhhh!" FYI the rice is used to pick up the rest of the delicious sauce left on the bottom of your bowl and it makes for an extra carb-filled surprise. The perfect way to end a noodle dish by the way, with rice for more carbs, duh! My only feedback, and I was indeed warned by my friend, is that the noodles make you a little thirsty. My friend told me she thinks its their fish powder seasoning that somehow makes you just feel like you need to chug a glass of water, so just make sure to bring a little extra water with you, haha! Also, fair warning here since you made it this far to reading this long review. The seats were very loud to move around in the dining area, and we can just about hear every squeak the metal chair made when anyone moved their seat, too! Other than those things, the noodles are a life I've already been raving about Menya Hanabi to my friends and will definitely come back!

The highlight for me is definitely the spicy hand-pulled noodles with slow-cooked beef brisket. The noodles have that perfect, chewy pull, and the brisket is super tender and packed with flavor. Don't skip the pickled cucumber either--it's crisp, refreshing, and balances out the heat of the noodles perfectly. It wasn't crowded at all when I went, which made for a relaxed meal with quick, attentive service. The only slight catch is the shared parking lot, it gets pretty busy with all the other restaurants in the plaza, so you might have to circle once or twice during peak hours. Still, definitely worth the stop if you're craving legit Xi'an eats in the area.

We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!
