Rolled the dice on the lunch list on a Wednesday and ended up on this place. The restaurant is located in the back corner of the plaza on the first floor. There weren't that many people there when we arrived slightly after 11:30. The front of the restaurant was served by one person. Very large menu with options for individual dishes or family style. We ordered the Shredded Pork with Sweet Paste Sauce, Noodles and Toothpick Lamb. Everything was pretty good and chili and spices were available at the table if it wasn't spicy enough. Portions were pretty good. The lamb was my favorite, and satisfied any craving I had for similarly flavored lamb skewers, especially for its price.
Tasty is a good word for the food here. The broth for the beef noodle soup is rich but not heavy and I think the noodles are homemade. My favorite was the meatballs with vegetables. The meatballs were super tender and the sauce was terrific! It came with four meatballs (most places only give three) and even had bok choy - a complete meal for me. It's a nice place with traditional decorations and good space. The lady who took our order was attentive and everything came out quickly. Good food, good portions, and fair prices. I will come here just for the meatball dish - so good!
Tasty Xi'an is tucked away on Diamond Blvd with cute calligraphic murals lining the walls and pre-Covid price points. Yeah. Service is prompt, attentive and no-nonsense. Overall, charming, low-key, and absolutely not to be slept on. My partner, whose favorite dish is and has always been spicy beef noodles, after one bite officially crowned their Spicy Beef Noodle as his new favorite, dethroning Noodle Street after a 3-year reign. And honestly... Fair. The broth is insanely deep and rich, and the wide hand-pulled noodles are fresh, long, bouncy, and soak up the flavor like they were built for it. As for me, it looks like my hunt for the perfect Spare Ribs ends here. Crisp on the outside (which I didn't even know was a thing for this dish), perfectly tender inside, and coated in a sauce that hits every pleasure center in my brain. I'd go back just for this dish. This and the Braised Eggplant with Green Beans. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was another win: crisp, light, and not cloyingly sweet. We also tried the Cauliflower Dry Pot, which was excellent, and overheard the table next to us raving about their Lamb Dry Pot.
Not too big of a place but both the food and price is good! Been here a few times now and I haven't been disappointed. If you look at the prices they can start off to about $8-$12 for each item, which is usually at least $15 now everywhere else. There is usually 1 or 2 people working and they are usually quite attentive. The place is modern and clean. I tried the "Speciel Hot Noodle" (yes it's spelled that way) and it was just a bowl of deliciousness in each bite of noodle. It didn't have meat, but it was ok because they have some sides you can order which was really good as well. Just note that you have to go order that as I don't really see those dishes on the menu. (Beef tripe. Seaweed, etc.) It seems like everything you order you can pretty much add a cooked egg, so if that is your jam don't hesitate to do so. Can't wait to try other bowls, looking forward to my next visit. Until next time!
Tasty Xi'an really lives up to its name. The food is always delicious, comforting, and consistently well‑made. Every time we visit, my partner goes straight for their favorites: the house special oil noodles, the fried fish, and the braised beef soup. The restaurant itself is peaceful, welcoming, and spotless. The dining area is always clean, and even the restrooms are well‑maintained, which says a lot about how much care the family puts into running this place. The food is consistent, the service is consistent, and you can feel the pride behind every plate. It's family‑owned, and you can taste the love in the cooking. Support your local businesses!! Tasty Xi'an has become one of our go‑to spots, and it never disappoints.
Had this place saved in case we'd be in the area & so glad that we did. It's a small place in a strip mall. Kind like a mom & pop which usually tends to be a hidden gem & this sure was. We ordered the beef noodle soup with thin noodles in a rich, flavorful broth, generous chunks of tender beef topped off with bok choy & cilantro which added the perfect freshness. The noodles were a perfect chew. We also ordered the tofu braised in soy sauce...loved the gravy which we took home to use it for loco moco. The Shanghai House sweet sour ribs was why we chose to come here because we love this Shanghai style better than the traditional American version. We thoroughly enjoyed this little spot & plan to come back
Xi an food is definitely different from mainstream Chinese food so even more reason to try it. We ordered from the specialty section of the menu: the lamb in pita, the hot oil egg and tomato biang biang noodles, the lamb with pita soup and tofu skin skewers. The two soup noodles bowls were huge, delicious and unique! The noodles are big and chewy and I love the lamb flavor! The pita is not your typical Bao or pita so try it! The sauce on the skewers was delightful. If you can't handle spicy, ask for mild. Like the decor as it explains where xi an food came from. On a Saturday night, most tables were taken. Great service and price! So glad we got to try it.
The basin lamb of mutton pita bread soup is now easily one of my top 3 comfort soups of all time. I was told the Chinese name is "mien ge da xian" which is loosely translated to dough drop soup. This makes a lot more sense because by no means do the little cubes resemble pita bread. The texture of the dough is so bouncy and chewy and the broth is so flavorful but in a light, refreshing way. It also comes with a spicy garlic sauce to spruce up the flavor if ever needed by I thoroughly enjoyed it on its own. There wasn't that much lamb meat as I had hoped, but the flavor compensated for it.
Great spot for Xi'an food. Very good value for what you're paying. Recommend coming with 2-4 ppl so you can order different dishes to share.
Great option for Xi'an food in the area. We came at 1PM on Saturday and didn't need to wait before we were seated. The handmade biang biang noodles had a great chew and the rou jia mou was bursting with the meat filling. Great portion for the prices and service was fast.
I'd say out of everything we ordered I loved the eggplant with green beans & chili oil noodles! The walnut shrimp was good, however, I'd definitely say it's on the smaller side compared to others. Nevertheless, it was still tasty! I also liked the ambiance of the restaurant! Lovely wall decorations and very clean. Service was quick and although the place is on the smaller side, I didn't feel cramped. Will be back again for the noodles!

Smaller side restaurant, located in a shopping plaza. Plenty of parking. Good service but may be limited in English. No problem, just point to the picture or item number. They quickly bring the dishes out after you order and regularly check in on the table and refill water. The dishes here are very good. Some typical Asian dishes but also some different flavors/dishes from the common Asian restaurant. The popular dish seems to be the Hot Oil Noodles. We got it with tomatoes and egg and it was really good! Great flavor and i think the noodles and freshly cut. Everything we ordered had great flavor. Portion sizes are good and the pricing is fair. read more

A parking spot is relatively easy to find in that area and the manager keeps the dining place clean. The service can be improved considering that my friends and I were sitting for an hour and they never came to refill my empty water cup. Their food tends to be on the saltier and oily side, but they taste good . However their ingredients weren't so fresh... read more
Came here with my family for lunch. Five of us. I was specifically in search of toothpick lamb with cumin and was very happy they had it on the menu. The food here is very authentic. You can tell by how many Chinese come here for lunch. The shop is on the smaller side though and it filled up quite quickly. Other dishes I recommend are the dumplings and the mapo tofu. Service was attentive but they speak primarily mandarin and May have issues taking your order so definitely keep that in mind when you're coming here for dine in. read more
A quality authentic Xi'an cuisine place! Beef Noodle Soup with hand pulled noodles hits the spot as do the Toothpick Lamb and Pork burger (done with right way with a crispy authentic way). Service was with just one waitress but things were rolling once the order was placed. Waitress was nice and friendly. Good seating areas which were nice and clean but could've used more condiments at each table rather than a select few. But otherwise a simple but decently ethnic style to the whole place. Just wish it were closer to where I lived because the prices are very good! read more
TLDR: Excellent noodles, especially the special hot oil one which features a tomato and egg flavor. The dish is lighter on the meaty side but very tasty nonetheless. Communication may be a little awkward if you're Chinese passing but not enough to ruin the experience. - - - - - - Tasty Xi'an has been on my bookmarks since last summer, and I finally ventured out to try it on a weekend afternoon. I enjoyed how aesthetically clean the restaurant is, and the wooden chairs and small tables reminded me of my visit to China many years back. I ordered the Special Hot Oil Noodle, which mostly features a thick tomato and egg jelly with bok choi and slices of meat. The noodles were of excellent quality and very chewy. The bok choi was fresh, and the meat was enough to be there but not be the main character of the entree. As someone who enjoys eating vegetarian, this was a nice meal that was lighter on the meaty side. The tomato was naturally sweet, and I enjoyed the mix of spices and garlic with each bite. The only parts of the visit I didn't enjoy too much was the assumption that I spoke fluent Chinese - ordering was not my favorite part of the visit. I'm also not sure why I didn't enjoy the taste of the water, and with only one staff member working I felt bad asking for water. I let my weak spice tolerance overcome me and proceeded to cough every other bite - oops! read more

YUMMM!! Love the taste and texture of the handmade noodles. It's super fresh and authentic but a bit oily for the soup. Of course I had to try the hometown style pork rouburg. It was on the front page of the menu calling my name! The breading was not too hard which I like but the meat kind of falls out. I didn't mind it much cus it was delicious. It wasn't busy when we got there so the service was fairly quick. There's parking right outside the establishment. read more

沒有人的幸運是憑空而來的，只有當你夠努力時，你才會夠幸運，這世界不會辜負你的每一份付出，每一份堅持，時光也不會怠慢執著且勇敢的我們～ 前陣子跟朋友來吃這家 ，說是陝西，其實很像川菜的餐館，在 Diamond Bar, 離我公司超近的，我記得朋友們點了不少菜，結果這名不經傳的小菜館倒令人驚艷，幾乎每道都很有水準，我最愛他們的牙籤羊肉，後來每次我去，這道已經是我必點的菜色之一， 這家菜色也有很多辣角色，我記得當天外面一百多度，但冷氣實在是有跟沒有差不多， 朋友吃著超辣的魚片？魚湯？ 汗如雨下， 辣的道地，應該跟洗三溫暖差不多了，我也是第一次吃飯，吃完跟卸妝應該相差不遠了，這家喜歡辣的可以來吃，不喜歡辣的來點也絕對沒有問題，推薦給大家! -- at 品味西安 Tasty Xi' An. read more

我打了电话问了下厨师是不是西安人，说是，且很自信. 于是我开了一个多小时过来试了一下水盆羊肉. 图1/2是上上来的水盆羊肉. 前台服务态度很好. 但单就这个水盆羊肉，这个水平. （目前在全美，还没吃到过西安的正宗水盆羊肉） 水盆羊肉：讲究的是清汤. 任何一碗水盆羊肉，只要汤不清澈，基本可以直接放弃不吃. read more

Did not know this place existed until it came up in my list of recommendations from Uber eats. Was craving some Xi'an food and decided to give this a try despite it being new, it didn't even show up on Google or Yelp with the initial search. We did take out using Uber eats so cannot comment on the ambience. Ordered: Stir-fried lamb with cumin burger Xi'an mutton soup Special hot chili oil noodle Everything tasted flavorful, pretty standard Xi'an style. The flavor is good, on par with most Xi'an places. They also have an extensive menu of other Chinese dishes. However I was a little disappointed that they do not have Biang Biang noodles, at least not on Uber eats. Still definitely worth a stop. read more
Did not know this place existed until it popped up on Uber Eats. Apperently it replaced Lu Ding Ji restaurant, which had replaced a nice family run Xian restaurant. I will miss having a Li Ding Ji in the area, but welcome back a close Xian place. Jumped at a chance to so take out. First thing I noticed was the menu did not have Biang Biang noodles a favorite of mine. So opted for the Special Hot Spicy Oil Noodle, Xi'an Mutton Soup and Stir fried lamb with cumin burger which all were very flavorful. A little on the salty side but exactly what I expected. Overall flavorful Xian food, has good potential will be back, for dine in. read more

Very small portion! I ordered their hot and spicy lamb chops, but 90% of the dish was actually peppers! This is horrible. Don't waste your money on this. read more
Ordered Togo & got pork dumplings and toothpick lamb. They didn't include any sauce making the dumplings a little dry and while they tasted good, the wrapping was breaking apart. The lamb was spicy & flavorful, but was super dry... maybe the experience in person is better. read more

I've had roujiamo from Xi'An before so when I saw the rouburge I was super excited to try some. It's good! The place feels very authentic. I wish I knew more Chinese to interact with the staff more or understand the menu. The pictures look great but the English translations make it hard to know what it actually is sometimes. The noodles were an okay choice. They had a good texture but the flavor reminded me of ketchup noodles that my dad used to make when I was younger. Not bad but I would pick a different dish next time. I think I'd come back for the rouburge. The location is in a nice plaza with plenty of parking. I came for lunch but I think it would be good for dinner because the dishes are on the heartier side unless you want the appetizer as a snack. read more

Pretty good. I tried this place a while back when it just opened. Got the same beef dish and it still holds up the expectation. Chinese burger is pretty good, flavorful and the bun is not hard like I had at other places. read more
Everything ordered here was delicious. Definitely order a soup with your meal. I bring a six-pack of tsing tao with me when I eat here and it isn't an issue. I also order the 50 frozen pot stickers to go so that I can reheat my left overs and refresh my plate. Everything is so good that the language barrier isn't that big of a deal. The servers aren't being rude they just aren't as used to people not speaking to them in their own language but they do their best to get you what you need. I'm usually the only person who speaks English everytime I'm here. read more
