I wasnt expecting the great food at this whole in the wall along Rt.9. Chatted up Me. Chen the waiter and he said this spot has been bere for 10+ years! You know the food was gonna be good because they played modern Chinese pop. Probably the best lamb skewers I've had in Boston because they were juicy, well spiced, and serving size was phenomenal. Hand pulled noodles had an amazing garlic spice. Spicy fish fillet = Not pictured: pan friend dumplings. Take a pass on these as they weren't impressive. read more

Wow can't believe it's been eight years since my last review but Shaanxi Gourmet still deserves all four stars. They're able to really hit the mark with what might be considered simple home cooking. Yeung chow fried rice has great texture and seasoning and is a heaping portion of rice. Lamb dumplings are definitely made in house with an amazing wrapper and tasty filling, along with a great dip. Chive pies are super thin with a ton of chive filling. To my surprise they now offer dim sum and serve it in the evening as well. We tried shrimp and chive dumplings and they were definitely made from scratch, with a green crystal skin and unique plump filling. They ran out of xiao long bao but I would be very interested in trying it again some day. Staff is awesome as usual. Super friendly and accommodating my awful chinese english. Great choice for authentic regional chinese food read more

A very homie type of Chinese restaurants that serve food that hits home. I love their fish fillet, string beans and lamb dishes I got. The staff were friendly! The interior features a classic American Chinese restaurant with some Chinese decoration that describes the origin of their cuisine. I'll definitely come back again!

Fast, friendly service. Reasonably priced meal that included noodle soup, pan fried dumplings, and sandwich. Noodle soup had good flavors that included black vinegar and spiciness and not too salty. Love the crispiness with the dumplings. Sandwich is good for sharing if you want a variety. Simple decor with cultural flair. Looks like the large framed artwork talks about food. read more

Very disappointing experience. The food came out barely warm and honestly tasted like it had been prepared ahead of time and reheated. Everything was bland and lacked freshness. The service was also terrible. The servers had an attitude like I owed them millions of dollars, and they seemed annoyed whenever we needed anything. They were not friendly, welcoming, or attentive at all. For the price, I expected much better food and service. Overall, the combination of lukewarm food, poor taste, and extremely unfriendly service made the whole experience frustrating. Definitely not worth the money, and I would not come back or recommend this place. read more

Went with my family on a Saturday night. Nondescript location in a small strip mall. We ordered multiple dishes to share and found the food to be full of flavor and very authentic. Large portions. Friendly staff. Basic decor. Booth design a bit clunky. Will be back. read more

Tasty hand-pulled noodles and dumplings close to Natick. We stopped by to try the liang pi, and also ordered the lamb dumplings and big plate chicken. I liked that the liang pi came with the chunks of wheat gluten. The lamb dumplings had good flavor but were smaller than I expected. The sauce they serve it with is excellent! While these two dishes were on the small side for the price, the big plate chicken more than made up for it. It was huge bowl chicken. We also got it with noodles and the noodles were mega wide. Very flavorful and tasty dish, and not too spicy even though it's listed on the menu with many chili peppers. When we came, it was very empty. Service was nice, normal. I liked the complimentary taro sago dessert soup at the end. The front of the restaurant is very unassuming. It's surprisingly large inside, but a bit rundown/homey. Overall, would stop by again! read more

Decent food considering the lack of good options in the area. Never a wait. Unfortunately inconsistent depending on which chefs are working. Too many gnats/flies flying around the tables while eating. One server/wait staff always sticks their thumb in the dish when bringing to the table / packing to go boxes. read more

Service was professional and friendly,and ambiance was simple and quite nice. And the food: Outstanding! The lamb was succulent and full of flavour and the noodles were delicious and guaranteed a long life. Even a simple dish like the cabbage was sublime! Definitely worth the drive to Metro West. Oh, great prices but no beer or wine. read more

Ordered the hand pulled noodles which had pork . Excellent noodles, flavorful broth. 1/2 I have for lunch tomorrow. Ordered the mini fried buns . Wow... mini fried donut taste and the dipping sauce was like eating honeydew donut crack sauce...super rich and must get recipe as intense dip for the mini buns . Appears the go to place for The Chinese people seeking authentic dishes... All food I saw walking by the table I saw was delicious and the beef or lamb skewers look to be a must buy . read more

Shaanxi Gourmet has delicious authentic Chinese food without having to drive into the city. The restaurant itself is very clean and casual and the staff are very friendly. They make everything in-house. I started with a lychee iced tea, delicious! My first plate was soybean paste homemade noodles. This was this noodles in a mouthwatering soybean meat sauce. The flavors were amazing! This dish also had fresh sliced cucumbers that tasted really good mixed into the dish. My next dish was pork intestine in a brown sauce. Pork Intestine, in general, is like eating extremely tender pork. It is delicious! This also had my favorite wood ear mushrooms, fermented black beans. This dish was a showstopper! I also tried their crispy orange sesame chicken. This was crispy, with nice flavoring without a heavy sauce. Definitely recommend! The egg rolls were a mix of cabbage, celery, and meat. They had a nice flavor. The duck sauce was traditional with a little spice added, possibly cinnamon. For dessert I had warm tapioca. It was also delicious! The restaurant quickly filled up. It seemed the majority of the guests were speaking Chinese! I take that as a good sign. Shanxi is part of Northern China. I think they do an amazing job honoring their food. This is a must try! read more

My family loves doing take out from Shaanxi Gourmet. We often order the good pomfret in brown sauce fish dish, shredded potato, and veggie delight. We've never dined in before so we thought we'd give it a try this time, and we had a great experience! The restaurant is quite big and there's plenty of seating. Customer service was excellent. We also tried a new dish - the pork dumplings. It was delicious and it's probably my favorite dish at Shaanxi Gourmet! They give free dessert (taro pudding so the tapioca) - it's delicious!

Very good authentic Chinese food. The Stead Cold Wheat Noodles are the best ever you can get in US. Must try!

I go to this restaurant at least once a month. Food and service always great at this Shaanxi specialty restaurant. Ambiance is good for the price range. read more

Everything was good. Cold noodles had a good amount of gluten cubes and cucumber with peanut /sesame sauce. Liang pi, a favorite. Eggplant with garlic was very generous. Good flavor and texture, not too soft. Fried intestines with celery excellent as always. This is the only Chinese restaurant I come off the Pike for. read more

Mediocre is the right word to describe the food here. It's not tasted bad but really nothing impressed us. The tofu is chewy, the beef is thin, not the right kind as it's named, the noodle soup tasted like vinegar. Service is okay. Environment is okay. read more

We like to come here about once a month for their dumplings, "Chinese hamburgers" (肉夾饃), hand-pulled noodles, leek pan-fried dumplings (韭菜盒子), and all kinds of other delicious food. (We also like the shrimp fried rice!). Good service, too. Nice and quiet. Highly recommended! read more

This place gets better and better every time I go. Now that they're open for dine in I think it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in MetroWest. GeLe chicken, Qishan noodles, and all their dumplings are must haves. read more

Love this place! The food is authentic, delicious and great for the price! Service is pretty good too. The Handmade Pork Dumplings, Chinese Burger and Sauteed Spicy Chicken with Handmade Noodles are my favorite! The potato and the sauce in the Sauteed Spicy Chicken are so good that my husband and I always want more, even though the portion of this dish is very generous (two full containers, enough for 4 people)! I like pouring some sauteed chicken on top of the handmade wide noodles, which were in a separate container. They closed their business for a while, and just reopened not long ago. The lady who picked my phone call today was so patient (I made multiple phone calls to ask questions and adjust the order). Definitely will go back there soon! read more

Fantastic authentic Chinese food from the Shaanxi province of China Not the "Americanized" version of Chinese food. My girlfriend's mom is from Xi'an, and so she was thrilled to find a place that serves authentic Chinese food in the Boston area (Not an egg roll in the house)! The fare is from Shaanxi province, hence the name. Dinner was amazing and we sampled many dishes. My girlfriend picked a few, and the nice young server made several suggestions as well. We started with some appetizers like Lazhi Style Chinese Burger (made from ground pork on a biscuit type of bread), Crispy Fried Dumplings, Lamb Skewers, and Roast beef w. scallion pancake. For our entrees, we had Shaanxi Three Delicacies, Eggplant in Brown Sauce, and a couple of other dishes that I can not remember the name of. I will post photos. BOTTOM LINE: If you want to taste authentic food from Shaanxi, this is a great place to go. read more

We love their noodles so much! Our go-tos are the spicy oil handmade noodles (thick pulled, super chewy and QQ to sink your teeth into), cold skin noodles, and qishan noodles. Flavoring for all is EXCELLENT. Well-balanced and full-bodied. Also good are their sizzling black pepper beef, stewed pig's feet (I know sounds scary but really tasty if you can brave it!), chili stir fried Napa cabbage. Shaanxi Gourmet boasts authentic Xi'an fare, friendly and attentive staff, clean and spacious interior. Though a drive out of Boston, we're regulars bc there's always parking and never any wait times -- a welcome respite from the hustle-bustle dining experience in the city. read more

Loved it! We are always on the lookout for authentic Chinese food and love spicy Sichuan style dishes. This was a great find. This was our first time trying Shaanxi food and now we are fans! I got the pan seared hand pulled noodles with chili oil and my husband got the spicy cumin lamb with rice. Of course we shared! Everything was super duper delicious and the spice level was quiet high. When they say spicy, they mean it! We've already decided to try other things on the menu! read more

I lost count trying to remember the amount of times I've visited Shaanxi Gourmet. This place has been a part of my driving route after shopping at the Natick Mall. There's only one dish I come here for and it's the Da Pan Ji, which literally translates to Large Plate Chicken. See pics to begin salivating. Food: See pic (65%) Taste to price 4.5/5 Quality to price 4.5/5 Portion to price 5/5 Average = 4.67 Service (20%) Friendliness 3/5 Promptness 3/5 Average = 3 Cleanliness (15%) Bathroom 3/5 Dining area 4/5 Kitchen area 4/5 Average = 3.67 Overall Score = [F(.65)]+[S(.20)]+C(.15)] = [3.04]+[0.6]+[0.55] = 4.19 What else to know: Although not really a Shaanxi speciality and more of a Xinjiang one, of all the places I've tried in the Boston area Shaanxi Gourmet has the best Da Pan Ji making it a hidden treasure since it's not even a highlight in their menu. I have yet to try their other dishes simply due to their Da Pan Ji literally being too large for me to get anything else. My GF and I always end up taking the rest home! For $21.95 + $3 for noodles, I can say it feeds about 3.5 people which makes it a steal of a deal. At this rate, I don't think I'll ever get the chance to try their main draws of Roujiamo (Chinese burger) and Paomo (Lamb Soup w/ Pita Bread). **If you enjoyed my review, follow or add me as a friend. I have tons of reviews like this. read more

Was very hungry so came in here to eat. We called ahead and asked them to prepare a couple of dishes beforehand for me to eat when I got there, and the waiter was able to accommodate. Was very impressed because when we walked in to eat after 5-10 minutes, they've already had the food ready to go. The food was delicious and similar to the Shaanxi food I enjoyed back in China. Will definitely visit again. read more

We picked up takeout from the restaurant. All of the dishes were delicious, the lamb had a lot of onions in it but it was still a nice portion. The mapo tofu was a lot soupier than I had expected and I also didn't realize green bean and eggplant would have tomatoes in it. Otherwise, one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

Maybe hand pulled noodle joints are just not my thing. I didn't enjoy my experience here at all. I'm not talking about just the food. We were seated right in front of the door and my kids were freezing cold. The servers were not tentative to our needs at all. It was a little busy and they were not able to handle it at all. Even the chefs had to come out in jackets to help serve food. Food was not good for my tastes. The pork belly was sliced extremely thin (think cold cuts thin) and the preserved veggies were damn salty! I love salty foods to begin with and even I thought they were salty as heck. Fried dumplings were cute...very small portion. I won't be back. They are lucky to be on route 9 where their place is highly visible and suckers like me will go in at least once. read more

This restaurant is a mixed bag. The food was tasty but the service was bad. They did not refill our water, and they did not come out with the check for a long time. The waiter was marginally rude and somewhat disrespectful. I wasn't sure whether the young children were those of an employee or a guest but they made a huge racket. Far worse was that the adults were actively encouraging this as they were filming the children and their antics. It made it impossible to enjoy our food for quite long time. The place seemed to cut a lot of corners. They ran out of candy available to guests as they leave. There were parts of decor that needed some fresh paint. We noticed that the waiter provided awful service to the other guests too. So perhaps they have a loyal clientele who do not care about the bad service. If you want an intimate dinner you will not find it here. If you are hungry and just want take out or don't mind bad service then you will find this establishment tolerable. read more

My wife had tasted some the food from this restaurant when boss bought lunch and really liked so wanted to try. We got the lamb skewers (takeout is off skewers), fried tofu with veg home style, Fish fillet stew with Chinese sauerkraut (pickled mustard green), Boiled beef in Sichuan sauce, and my daughter got the hot sour vermicelli soup with pork intestine. The lamb skewers were good, nice spice level with cumin. The fried tofu with vegetables was sort of a classic dish for us and we liked it. Little spicier than most places but nature of the Shaanxi food I think. The fish fillet stew was really good. The pickled mustard greens is a favorite of my daughter and wife and often used as a condiment in such things as congee. Not quite sure what the fish is here but this is a superb dish with a bit of heat. The pickled greens provide some relief from heat. The boiler beef in Sichuan sauce is a classic with a lot of heat. really good dish if you like that heat. The hot sour vermicelli soup with pork intestine the daughter liked, i tried the intestine and it was good. The daughter prefers it crispy but that is another disk really. The place is take out only still during these covid times. I did a pickup and service was good and the order was ready quite quickly. Will get food from there in the future for sure read more

Both of the dishes I just finished were completely delicious. Mixed Vegetables Boiled in Hot Spicy Sauce was spicy and numbing with added flavor from a large dollop of chopped garlic that sat in the middle of the bowl. Vegetables included broccoli, lotus root, baby bok choy, wood ear mushrooms and button mushrooms. Note: this dish is not vegetarian. The bowl comes with several large thick slices of ham and fish balls, both of which add to the flavor. The second dish was Braised Chicken with Chestnuts. The chicken is served on the bone in a deep, rich braising liquid replete with chestnuts, large slices of ginger, and star anise. read more
