Authentic Xi'an food. They just changed their menu from last year i feel like the new menu is better. A lot of the sauce have those salty and sour taste so u wont get sick of it easily. My favorite were the noodles and the fried bun with green onion. Funny enough, the chef actually came up with the fried bun snacks so it wasn't even a real dish LOL but i love it! As for the dumplings, they are SO big and the soup is slightly acidic so u dont need a side of soy sauce / vinegar. Portion is very generous and the workers are sooo friendly. Parking is in the back shared with 85 degree bakery

Menu ! Finally Arcadia have something good to eat

This spot is going to be seeing a lot more of me now that I've tried their liang pi. I've been once before my most recent visit last week, but they were out of the liang pi during dinnertime so we settled for some of their dry noodle dishes (also very good) but nothing compared to the liang pi. This is a dish I was craving for sooooo long and this did exactly what I hoped it would. I would opt not to get both the peanut cold noodles and liang pi because they're identical but the peanut one was a little more heavy (not a huge fan) and I'd recommend opting for the liang pi without the braised beef (also a little heavy and too salty). A perfect refreshing summer combo is the smashed cucumber and the liang pi - you cannot go wrong.

First of all, nice service! Love that they got a parking lot right behind. The portion is huge here. The fried noodle is so great. Cumin lamb is tasty. Beef burger (肉夹馍) is good size but not as flavorful. Price is very fair and the restaurant is very clean.

Dumplings in vinegar sauce
Irene B.

Great service, easy parking in structure, overall great experience every time I've been. Get the youpo noodle in special beef sauce. It's a flavor bomb and the noodles are super chewy. The cold noodle in sesame sauce with beef comes in at a close second. Perfect for a hot day, it's super refreshing and they don't skimp out on the beef. Dumplings were delicious as well. Never had it in vinegar sauce but I actually quite like it since you can just eat it directly without dipping in anything. Their beef skewers were also great. Honestly don't have much to critique on. I will probably become a regular.

9.Braised Beef Brisket Noodles-牛腩面
Maria L.

My first time at this restaurant. My group and I ordered the following items (and my ratings for each:) 1) Beef sandwich: 3/5. A good amount of meat inside a Xian style flatbread. Taste was okay, but I think the flatbread is a bit doughy. 2) beef skewers: 4/5. Good taste 3) beef wrap: 3/5. Taste average. I have had better. Not enough meat. 4) sesame sauce cold noodle: 4/5. Good taste 5) braised beef brisket noodle soup: 3/5. Taste average. I've had better. The broth could be more flavorful. 6) Youpo noodles with braised beef brisket, beef paste, fried eggs and tomatoes: 4/5. Good taste Overall, we enjoyed the meal even though not everything was as delicious as we would have liked. Service staff were friendly and efficient. We would come back to try other dishes.

Walking in there was already a language barrier, but that is totally okay and understandable. There were only a few tables occupied and it still took our server 10-15 minutes to greet us and take our order. The beef hamburger and wrap were the same meat. It tasted exactly like corned beef but extra greasy. Oil and grease was dripping out of our food and down my hands. Not my cup of tea.

Their food is genuinely SO good! Best Xian food of all of sgv. Their burgers are to die for and they r packed packed packed with meat. Staffs were friendly and welcoming - mom and pop hospitality. We recommended so many friends and families to try this place already. Def will be back!

Youpo Noodles with Beef Paste
Bella S.

Located in the same plaza as 85 degree bakery. Parking is in the back of the structure. Service was pretty good; prompt and friendly. Food came out relatively quickly. 1. Marinated Beef Sandwich/Rao Jia Mo (4.5/5) Tender, marinated beef stuffed in their famous crispy, baked flatbread. The beef was perfectly seasoned and had a nice smokiness to it. 2. Cumin Lamb Sandwich/Rao Jia Mo (3.5/5) Spicy cumin lamb stuffed in their crispy, baked flatbread. The lamb was not too gamey and the cumin flavor was nice, but it was a bit masked by the spiciness, which just numbs your tongue and mouth. 3. Sesame Sauce Cold Skin Noodle (3/5) Cold wheat flour noodles tossed in sesame sauce, cucumber and bean sprouts. This is a refreshing dish to eat during a hot summer day. The noodles are chewy and fresh and the cucumber slices add a crunch factor. Not bad, but definitely, not the best I have had. I personally feel the sesame sauce is a bit too watered down, so it didn't stick to the noodles very well. 4. Xi'an-style Flatbread (5/5) You can tell they make this in-house and it's freshly baked. The outside is nice and crispy while the inside is nice and doughy. It has a very nostalgic, fragrant, dough-flavor. 5. Youpo Noodles with Special Beef Paste (3.5/5) The hand-pulled noodles were QQ, but the sauce was lackluster. They were a bit skimpy on the beef paste, which made the dish feel under-seasoned. Not worth $16 IMHO 6. Pickled Beef Shank (5/5) Super tender, smoky beef that is dry marinated. Highly recommend getting this appetizer 7. Smashed Cucumber Salad (4/5) The cucumber was fresh, crunchy, and refreshing. The seasoning did not stand out though; needs a bit more chili sauce and garlic. 8. Sauce Mixed Radish (1/5) YUCK - over marinated and super duper salty. I am someone who loves savory foods and craves salt all the time; so for me to say this is too salty, it's all the way too salty. If you have high blood pressure, definitely stay clear of this 9. Lamb Skewers (2/5) The lamb was good, but the cumin salt they put on it was also too salty 10. Imperial Mirror Cake (2.5/5) It's supposed to be a traditional Xi'an Muslim dessert made from glutinous rice and shaped like a mirror. I think it is infused with red bean and brown sugar. Overall, it was very dense and sticky + not a lot of flavor. Would not get this again. 11. Cold Wu Mei Drink (5/5) Freshly in-house made, prune juice. It's super refreshing and had a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Pairs well with the Xi'an-style meal.

Came here for dinner. Portion sizes were massive and the food was tasty and the price is good. Will be back if I'm back in the area. Massive parking structure part of the plaza. Apparently this place is also Halal!

Noodles were awesome. Simple but fresh. The cumin in the lamb was a bit off, still tasted good. Sunday at lunch and only one waitress, things were a bit on the slow side.

A lovely place in Arcadia for Xi'an food and it's relatively new. Parking is in the back and the entrance is on the right before the restaurant. I don't know much about the authenticity of Xi'an food in China but the food here is very delicious. The vibe is also cozy and local. The noodles in their You Po noodles are made in house and you could see it through the kitchen window. They can do mild spice which was perfect for me. The dumplings in vinegar are really good. Rou jia mo is another signature that the server recommended to me. The meat inside was very juicy. I also really love their soybean milk just because it's full of real soy flavor and it's not sweet! The server told me they made the soy milk in house and it's just like soy milk I remembered from Asian market.

You po noodles with tomato and egg
Ada Y.

Noodles are super chewy and delicious all around. Very good bite on the handpulled noodles. The dumplings were also delicious with a good amount of filling inside. *Keep in mind: The service is super slow and pretty much nonexistant. The ordering pad doesn't work so you still have to order via server. They were also very distracted- my order was ready for easily 5 minutes with the chef inside ding-ing the bell so many times and I'm just watching the bowl steaming about to get up to get it myself. In the end, I did end up just getting up to get utensils myself and both servers didn't even look up/ know.

Reminds me of the burgers at Carl's Jr. and Burger King - a classic style, no frills burger. Cooked fresh, large and filling. Fries are plenty enough for even two people. This is a solid, no nonsense place if you're hungry and on a budget. Check it out.

We found ourselves at Chef Darko's pop-up, which turned out to be an awesome one-man operation set up in a random parking lot in Sierra Madre. Chef Darko told us he's cooked all kinds of cuisines over the years, but recently decided to do his own thing with this burger pop-up. We went with his OG smashed burger, though he also gave a strong recommendation for the chili hot dog. Maybe next time! We grabbed seats on the outdoor patio connected to the brewery, which was perfect because it meant I could enjoy my meal with my pup by my side. Chef Darko personally brought over our burgers, served on his house-made ube buns. He tells us the buns are baked fresh daily using ube straight from the Philippines. The burger came topped with cheese, onions, pickles, and mayo. For someone like me who doesn't usually go for burgers, I loved it. The pickles had a little kick and were nice and crunchy. Even my husband, who's usually not into bread, couldn't stop raving about the ube bun. He even ordered a second burger right after finishing the first! Next time, I'll see if I can ask for grilled onions instead of raw, but other than that, the OG smashed burger was a total win. We're definitely coming back.

Tonight we decided to switch things up a little, and hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Normally we prefer the quarter-pound patty, but this one was slightly thicker, which definitely made us feel full a lot quicker. That said, the burger was still super juicy, had the right filling-to-meat ratio, and came on that perfectly soft bun that holds everything together without falling apart. Solid choice. I stuck with my usual chicken breast salad, and it was delicious as always. Fresh, satisfying, and dependable -- although I'll admit I'm still not a fan of bell peppers, so those got politely pushed to the side. One thing I have noticed over time is that the fries seem to be getting a little smaller in portion each visit. I also miss the thicker-cut fries from about six months ago -- those were my favorite. The current ones still do the job, but the old style definitely had my heart. Overall, this is still a definite must-try spot if you're craving a good burger. Consistent, satisfying, and always hits the spot. Happy eats!

This last visit was frustrating enough that we won't be rushing back. We came in just before 6:00 PM with a babysitter and a limited window. The restaurant wasn't busy, maybe five tables, but service was completely off. Our entrée took about 45 minutes. It was comped, but no one acknowledged the delay. No apology, no explanation, nothing. We also got the wrong side (fries instead of onion rings), and while it was corrected quickly, it added to the overall feeling that no one was really paying attention. The bigger issue was how absent the service felt. Our server never came back for a second round of drinks, and I had to go to the bar myself. When I mentioned it, the response was basically that the server was busy with another table, which felt dismissive given how long we had already been waiting. No one was busy. By the time food arrived, it was around 6:45 PM. The problem wasn't just the wait, it was the lack of communication or basic hospitality the entire time. I actually emailed the restaurant directly after our visit and never heard back, which is disappointing and honestly says a lot. At this point, it's hard not to feel like they just don't really care about the customer experience or about keeping people coming back. It's a shame, because the place has potential, but right now it doesn't feel like it's being taken seriously.
