I googled most of the restaurants in Chinatown and it looked like my high school GPA (not even a 4.0) so this place coming directly from the mouth of my pharmacist.

Great authentic spot for Xi'an style noodles! I ordered the biangbiang noodles with beef, which was…read moreone of their dry noodle dishes. I'm pretty sure their noodles were hand pulled, as they were very chewy (in a good way). The beef was also pretty good. There was some bok choy in there as well. Although I really enjoyed this dish, it wasn't exceptional enough to get to a full 5 star level. The restaurant gets very popular / busy during peak hours, but we were still able to get a table for dinner with no wait on a weekend night. There is a lively atmosphere and it was comfortable seating. Our waiter was friendly and the service speed was fast. Overall, I would highly recommend Xi'an BiangBiang Noodles if you are interested in some tasty authentic noodles.

The taste was flavorful. The portion size was generous. The price was reasonable. The hole-in-the-wall vibe was wholesome. And the fact that they straight up started talking to me in Mandarin was like... yeah y'all are totally authentic. I don't really have stuff to say about the individual dishes because everything that I have attached to this review is a hit, and for anyone coming through, it will pretty much just be a choice of preference on the meat included in the noodles. Whichever type of meat one likes will be the noodles that one should end up going with. I chose the beef flank one, and there was just a lot of tender beef flank included in my broth and I was happily eating everything and drinking the broth ferociously. You just can't go wrong with whichever you choose. This would definitely be a place that I would recommend anyone around the area! 10 out of 10 without a doubt.

Delicious, comforting and warming.

Decidedly non-generic Chinese food with a focus on chicken, lamb, and noodles…read more We came here while headed back from a birthday party and interested in exploring something different while out and about. This place didn't disappoint as it could easily have been a good Chinese place in New York City, where that's more common. I'm not qualified to say whether it's authentic Xinjiang food, but it was certainly not your average Chinese restaurant and we were almost the only non-Asians in the restaurant for our full time there. The place was also nice enough on the inside to be a decent date spot, if not the most romantic place. It's definitely nice and not a hole-in-the-wall. The seemed to specialize in noodles, Dapan chicken, and barbecue lamb. We got some of each. The standout was the Dapan Chicken which was spicy and deliciously seasoned and not sweet at all. The chicken and potatoes were excellent, but do prepared to get the chicken off a few bones. We also got the beef noodle soup with the wide hand-pulled noodles. The noodles were amazing. The beef and broth were pretty darn good good, but I'd like to explore what else was there to see if I couldn't find an even better set of flavorings to put on top of the noodles. The chef's special noodles weren't quite as good. We got the slim noodles, which we didn't quite like as much and the sauce was a bit sweeter than I'd normally like. The cumin lamb barbecue skewers were also really good although you might want to avoid the pieces that are mostly just fat if that's not your thing. The flavors are all fantastic. The kids devoured an order of plain slim noodles and our son tried both the barbecue lamb and Dapan chicken, which was really nice. The service was fast, friendly and happy to give us advice about what to order. We'll definitely be back.

I also had the Yippee fish cakes for appetizer, and that was okay - accompanying sauce was slightly bland, but that was fine. The Sesame Banana Fritters came with Vanilla Ice cream, and a sugar syrup, which having something similar in the States, I would suggest pairing the bananas with coconut ice cream with no syrup, but I still finished it, so it was good.

The sake one was my favourite but I'll be back to try a few more. The food was good, kind of Japanese style tapas. A few of them seemed vegan friendly. The tempura seaweed was really crunchy and salty, perfect to go along with cocktails. The staff were really friendly and helpful, nice fast service. There are tables in a back area but we just sat on stools at the large common table in the front. The table is really wide so you don't feel like you're having a conversation with the people across from you though.

I also asked if they could give it a bit of a kick to try and sink my blossoming cold and they kindly obliged. Not too hot, but enough to give it some warmth. Omnomnom!

The restaurant is very clean, nicely decorated and it's front tables open to the sidewalk, with a couple of tables outside. Also the price was very reasonable. I'd like to give these nice people 4 stars for all the above, but the main entree failed to satisfy.
