    If you come here expecting service, lower your expectations--because it's basically nonexistent. You order from a kiosk, find a seat, and maybe get a cup of water if you're lucky. Add in the constant sound of someone in the kitchen hacking up a loogie, and it's definitely not the most pleasant dining soundtrack. But the food is good.... The broth is rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly spicy. The meat is tender and well-seasoned, and the noodles are cooked just right with great texture. Come for the noodles, not the service--or the ambiance.

    Hot oil biang noodles & braised pork biang noodle soup
    Alyssa L.

    Came here for a weekday lunch with a friend while on the east side and this is my new go to spot for biang biang noodles now! I LOVE any type of noodles but in particular, biang biang noodles are my favorite. The only other place I like to go for these types of noodles is in cap hill and parking sucks but the restaurant is in the same plaza as boiling point so there is plenty of free parking. We ordered up on the self service kiosk and we just picked any table to sit at. our food came out pretty quickly too. The restaurant was pretty empty that day but the waiters were attentive about checking in on us. Both the dishes we ordered: Hot oil biang noodles & braised pork biang noodle soup were delicious! The noodle soup was savory, and the warm broth was exactly what we needed on a cold day. The noodles were fresh, long and chewy. The hot oil biang noodles were very flavorful and not too spicy, which I appreciate since I don't like mala spice as much. I wasn't too hungry this day but I wanted to try the dumplings too. I will definitely be back!

    Spicy Cumin Pork Biang Noodles, Spicy & Tingly Beef Biang Noodles
    Kimmy L.

    My friends and I started off the new year with long noodles (and long life) at Xi'an Noodles and had a fantastic meal. Xi'an is known for their hand pulled Biang noodles, with many noodles nearly a foot long! We all went to UW years ago and so we had all been to the University location when they first opened up and were excited to try their new location in Bellevue. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday night and we were the first ones there. You order at the kiosk and choose either dine in or takeout accordingly. For many dishes, you can also choose from three different spice levels: Less spicy, regular spicy, or extra spicy- we opted for regular spicy to compromise for everyone's heat preferences. My three friends and I ordered the... - SPICY & TINGLY BEEF BIANG NOODLES ($13.99): if you like Szechuan pepper, this dish is for you! It's savory, slightly spicy/tingly and has the perfect amount of oil (personally I would get extra spicy for this one). The beef is also thinly sliced and tender. We liked this one so much that we ordered two plates of it! - SPICY CUMIN LAMB BIANG NOODLES ($13.99): This dish was great too and was less spicy than the beef noodles. You could definitely taste the cumin and the lamb was well-marinated too. - BRAISED PORK BIANG NOODLES ($13.99): this dish was 100% mild (hence no spicy in its name). It came with pork shoulder which neatly shredded when pulled apart (probably could've used a fork though)- it was just salted and honestly reminded me of Kalua pork. While 85 wasn't my favorite dish of the night, it's a good option for those who have zero spice tolerance. - HOT OIL BIANG NOODLES ($13.99)- this dish was unique from the others as you could tell it had a little vinegar and tang in the sauce. It didn't come with any meat, but came with a few pieces of bok choy which ended up being our vegetables for the night (aside from the cilantro served on the other noodle dishes). - SHRIMP, PORK, AND CHIVE DUMPLINGS ($11.99 for 10 dumplings): the dumplings were steaming hot and while not that big, they had good flavor and were nice and moist. Nothing to write home about, but they were solid dumplings. Service was great and our waiter was very friendly. They also gave us free mango tea to go with our meal. My main complaint (-1 star) is that they don't have too many vegetable options on their menu- it would be nice if they had garlic green beans or offered plates of bok choy or other vegetables to go with the heavy carb/meat meals. While they have a Vegetable Biang Noodle dish with tofu, it honestly looked kind of plain and didn't come with spicy sauce. The total with tax and tip came out to just over $100, which split among four people is definitely reasonable for dinner in downtown Bellevue for the amount of food we got. They have a parking lot shared with Boiling Point and Snowy Village as well as a few other businesses in the plaza. The interior is clean and they share a bathroom with Snowy Village next door. The tables are a little close together, but not uncomfortably close by any means. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

    hand pulled noodle spot, order at kiosk, self serve seating, small parking lot and inside seating space. food came out pretty quick. get your own water and had mango tea complimentary to drink too. - braised pork biang noodle soup: chewy noodles, inconsistent thickness, pork is tender and given generous amount, soup is clean - cumin beef bun: flavor of beef is good, bun is too soft - lamb skewers: juicy, great flavor - cucumber salad: crunchy, not much flavor - shrimp, pork, chive dumpling: lots of chives, basic and good - pork intestine: chewy, tender

    Walking in, it was easy to place an order at the kiosk. We immediately found a seat and were given utensils. The noodles and sauce were delicious, though the meat was a bit on the dry side. The ambiance was clean and modern.

    Paid a revision to this location after a three year hiatus - usually go to the U-District location - and they've really improved! Maybe they finally worked out the kinks but the portions were larger and the noodles were cooked perfectly! I usually go for the dry version with beef but the person next to me said his soup version was awesome too! In the past we've had their dumplings and have been consistently good. The service is no frills and you self order at the counter screens then choose a table. The servers will bring out the water. The interior is very clean and be sure to stop by next door for a bingsoo after too!

    It's been a while since I been back here and it's a solid 4 star. Obviously doing take out for the noodle won't be as good as having it fresh but it was still decent The flavors was good and even though there was chili flakes it wasn't spicy at all. The burger was also really good. Service was standard. Food was ready on time . Parking is ok, they have a parking lot but the spaces are small. The place has a few seatings and it's pretty quiet for the most part. Definitely nice having a location on the Eastside.

    Spicy cumin lamb biang noodles
    Vinh M.

    I've been to the location at the UW Ave about 11 years ago. Not sure when this one opened up in Bellevue but I'm happy that the quality hasn't gone anywhere since! I got here with two other friends at around 6pm on a Friday night. This place also shares parking with nearby businesses, and it gets full around peak hours. You order your food at the kiosk nearby and servers bring your food to you. Inside has tons of seating for mostly 2-4 people per table, and has a very casual atmosphere. I ordered the spicy cumin lamb hand-cut noodles along with some beef skewers. My friends also ordered their noodles, one of them getting the spicy & tingly beef and the other getting braised pork. We all had a chance to try each other's meats, and you honestly can't go wrong with whichever you decide to get; all of them fit perfectly well with the noodles and spices they add into each of the noodles. The braised pork could even be spicy - this was the only dish that wasn't spicy - and it's still taste just as awesome! For my dish specifically, the lamb was tender and did not have an overpowering gamey taste, and there was a perfect ratio of meat to noodles. I also love my spice, and the level added here was just right and more. Beef skewer was also delicious too; it was even spicier than the noodles, and I just wanted more. In terms of other aspects, food came out pretty quickly, and service was prompt and fast. Pricing is very reasonable for a dish that fills you up, only about $14 per plate before tax. Highly recommended especially if you're looking for quick but richly flavored hand-cut noodles!

    Garlic Cucumber Salad / 凉拌小黄瓜.
    Maxine L.

    I love me a chewy chili noodle. I was honestly craving Chinese cold noodles (Liang pi) which is the only reason I came here, but for some reason, the cold noodles wasn't listed on the tablet you order from, so I ended up getting the chili noodles instead. I later asked the worker where the cold noodles were, and he had to manually do something on his tablet for it to show on the big tablet. Oh well. I'll try the cold noodles next time. Anyway, experience! I love the big parking lot. I love that you just order from the tablet in front and then sit. The place itself is small and super casual. The chili noodles I ordered were very flavorful and the noodles were thick and chewy. They were quite uneven also, so probably cut funny? But doesn't affect the taste, just the aesthetics. So still a 5/5 for me! The cucumbers were refreshing and really addicting haha. Could've been marinated for a liiiittle longer so it could soak up more flavor, but love them as is too. You'll see me here again for sure! I need to try their Liang pi!!

    Wonton in spicy sauce
    Mattea D.

    Ordered at the kiosk and confirmed dining (not takeout) - food was quick and pleasantly spicy! Ordered wonton in spicy sauce, spicy lamb noodle (with side of veg) wood ear mushrooms, and a water. Restaurant was mostly full but plenty of seating. Easy in, easy out. I wished my noodle had more cilantro on top and didn't realize the extra veg would just be a side of steamed vegetables (I thought it might be on the noodle dish?) still fun to get Biang biang noodles when they're unavailable at home.

    Mango tea
    Kelly L.

    Xi'an Noodles in Bellevue is a solid place for a quick lunch. I ordered the beef rice noodle stone bowl with a side of lamb. Both were flavorful, though the meat was slightly on the dry side. They also gave out free mango tea, which was refreshing. Service was impressively fast, my food was ready within minutes after ordering at the self-service kiosk. The restaurant itself is spacious with comfortable seating, and since I didn't come during the lunch rush, it was quiet and relaxing.

    paomo (diced bread in lamb soup)
    Tony J.

    The Xi'an noodle location in downtown Bellevue. In the plaza north of downtown, next to the Boiling Point. Very bright modern and simple interior with white and off-white color walls. Small restaurant that can seat 30 people. Not too busy during dinner time in the middle of the week. The place shares the restrooms with the Snow Village dessert place next door. You order at the kiosks at the front, and they bring food to your table. The menu is Shaanxi/Xi'an specialties like hand pulled noodles, skewers etc. I got the paomo which is diced flatbread in a lamb soup. Never had it before so wanted to give it a try. It was a big bowl of soup. The lamb soup was pretty hardy and had a decent amount of meat, which tasted like it's been cooked in a soup. Has coriander, green onions, wood ear and vermicelli for some extra aroma and textures. The diced bread didn't taste anything out of the ordinary. They hold their shape well in the soup, and just like a regular starch. It was $15-16 before tax and tip, so not expensive. Overall, decent place to get a relatively quick meal.

    Vegetables Biang Noodle Soup / 蔬菜汤面.
    Thomas R.

    I passed by this place several times as I live pretty close by and had been wanting to go. I have seen it both be empty and completely full so no it isn't one of those places that is always empty. I love the decor style inside very clean minimalist but very pretty, similar style to my old house lots of white and bamboo/wood. We came during lunch and it was completely full. I got the spicy biang noodle soup and it was delicious. The wide noodles which can sometimes be hit or miss were cooked great, not too chewy not too mushy but firm enough to bite into. The broth was delicious spicy but not like overly spicy just to be spicy it was very flavorful. The beef seemed to be high quality beef not generic just toss in whatever beef. Overall I love this place and will be back.

When I arrived, the restaurant was about 1/3 full. The place was pretty quiet and didn't seem very lively, but there were others that showed up after me so that seemed pretty promising. The server sat us down but didn't mention about the QR code on the table so I sat there for about a min or two before I noticed. The whole menu and ordering was done all on your phone for the whole table. Not very much interaction. We ordered the spicy BBQ chicken skewers, the stewed beef rib noodle soup, and the normal beef flank noodle soup. The order came out relatively fast. The spicy BBQ chicken skewer was not what I expected. I was expecting a skewer like a kabob, but I received a few skewers with what seems to be thin pieces of ground chicken. The flavor was alright, but the chicken was VERY dry, which made it hard to enjoy. My stewed beef rib noodle soup wasn't bad. I got it with normal sized noodles and some beef flank on the side. The noodles were fine, but the soup could've been warmer. I was expecting a hot bowl of soup. The flavor was lacking a little, but it became much better after I added some chili oil. The rib meat wasn't bad. It had a a couple bites that were a tad tough but the flavor was kinda there. Honestly the extra flank pieces I had were better. Much better overall and it was pretty tender. I didn't really try my friend's bowl, but she got her soup with wide noodles. They were a bit wider than she expected. She made note that her noodles did seem undercooked and they had a slight doughy chew to them. She said it would've been better if it was cooked a little longer. Overall I enjoyed my soup. There are some things I would change, but I think it was a good first experience for something I've never had before.

The space is small and a little narrow, so seating can be pretty limited. My parents and I were lucky enough to grab the last table, and we ordered 4 items: the dry noodle with scallion oil and braised pork chop, the secret dumplings, large wonton, and salty soy milk (dumplings and wonton aren't pictured). I was most curious and most disappointed by the scallion noodle and pork chop. The portion size seemed too small to justify its price point, and I felt the pork chop tasted dry. The noodles however, had a great flavor, so if I were to try the place again, I'd only go for the scallion oil noodles. The dumplings were amazing. They were a little pricey but worth the cost, and worth the restaurant name. The dumplings were larger than most dumpling places I've been to, and the meat and soup inside were super flavorful. The wontons were also good, though it can't beat the pan fried dumplings. The salty soy milk was a very unique experience- it was thicker, rich and flavorful than other salty soy milk soups that I'm used to. It almost has an umami, seafood-ish taste to it. Though I'm not a big fan of soy milk, I enjoyed this dish more than expected! After our meal, we got to choose some magnets to take home, which was a creative and sweet gift. For the overall price point, I don't think I'd be coming here regularly for a meal. I may drop by for choice items like the pan fried dumplings!

We would both recommend the pan fried wontons way over the pan fried dumplings. There is plenty of parking and you just have to walk in and order with a QR code and then pay at the front when you're done. I didn't try their noodles as they seemed a bit expensive. I would return for the tea egg and wontons!

From the moment you walk in, the cultural atmosphere stands out--many of the patrons are Asian, and on my visit, a few were even dressed in traditional garments, which added a vibrant, lived-in feel to the space. It's the kind of detail you can't manufacture, and it speaks volumes about the restaurant's credibility within the community. The interior itself is fairly average--nothing particularly modern or upscale--but it doesn't detract from the experience. If anything, it keeps the focus where it belongs: on the food. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. There were only two servers handling the floor, and they were clearly stretched thin. Ordering is done digitally, which helps streamline things, but you can still feel the strain during peak times. That said, the food started arriving quickly--our tofu noodle dish came out almost immediately, while the beef dish lagged behind a bit. Presentation leans traditional in a charming way. The plates and chopsticks have that classic, no-frills aesthetic that complements the overall vibe of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. First, a word of caution: spice levels here are no joke. If you're sensitive to heat, you'll want to dial it down. But if you can handle it, the flavors are absolutely worth it--rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. The tofu was exceptionally soft, almost silky, and clearly freshly prepared. The noodles matched that texture perfectly--tender, well-cooked, and comforting. Pricing is another strong point. For the quality and portion sizes, it's very reasonable, making it an easy spot to revisit without hesitation. Overall, Nine Noodles is a great pick if you're looking for authentic flavors, a culturally immersive atmosphere, and solid value. It's not about fancy decor or polished service--it's about good, honest food. I'd definitely come back.

It's always busy around mealtimes, but luckily there are plenty of seats, and we rarely have to wait. We also order takeout from here pretty often. For our most recent order, we got two personal combos (main + appetizer + drink) through a Chinese app, which frequently has discounts. I'm a big fan of their takeout containers--they keep the noodles and soup nicely separated. The takeout bag is super sturdy, and the popcorn chicken has just the right amount of spice to really hit the spot. That said, I'd still recommend dining in, because the food is easily about three times better. I also think the portion of popcorn chicken is more generous when you dine in. Plus, if you finish the soup, you'll be very full. My go-to order is the fatty beef tomato soup with rice (I know, I know--it's a noodle place, but I like it better with rice).

I think there was one waiter that was helping out the entire store. This was already off to a bad start. I go ahead and order the combo along with a few other stuff from the rest of the group. So the food starts coming out as expected which was good. Then the appetizers got stuck in prep. Which I was like ok that happens it's busy and they might be understaffed. But then I had to ask for the drinks so already it's off to a bad start. The drinks came and felt watered down. So let's talk about the food real quick. Its ok. But after the third time coming I have noticed a decrease in the quality of the paired dishes and the amount you get. Also there was a strong feeling of over teasing with a lack luster flavor profile. So to add the final straw, we were all done and had to wait 15 minutes for the last side dish to come. I tried getting it canceled or get some credit but the chaser said no and so we waited. Could have been much better in all aspect.

    This has quickly become one of my favorite Chinese restaurants for spicy food. I've been here twice…read morenow and enjoyed every dish I tried. I've come for both lunch and dinner, usually shortly after they open, and never had to wait. Just looking at the crowd, you can tell this is an authentic place. As someone who travels to China frequently, this restaurant definitely meets my expectations. The Hunan-style spicy dishes really satisfy my craving for bold heat and flavor. I've tried the stone pot spicy tofu with meatballs, 梅菜扣肉 (braised pork with preserved vegetables), spicy lamb, stone pot black pepper beef, stinky tofu, and the fried oyster mushrooms. I loved all of them. These are the kind of dishes where you can easily finish a big bowl of rice--and still want more even when your belly is already full. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. Service was prompt, and one small detail really stood out to me: during my first visit, they actually replenished the napkins mid-meal. With spicy food and the inevitable runny nose, that level of thoughtfulness is appreciated!

    Been here a few times already. One of the best mapo tofu in the area! It's perfectly spicy (I…read morehaven't been able to find a spicy enough mapo tofu here), super flavorful, and very authentic. I'm also a fan of the 沸腾鱼 here (not sure what the English name is), which was one of my favorite dishes from childhood that is really, really hard to find done right outside of the Bay Area. For such an authentic restaurant, I'm also impressed with their high-end decor, quick service, and cleanliness. You definitely wouldn't expect it to be so good walking in! Continues to be one of my regular stops.

    This is seriously a hole in the wall place. It's right next to YGF but it seems like no one knows…read moreabout it. There's only a few seatings here so mostly people do take out. We came during lunch and was the only people there. We got: Mongolian beef lunch specials -- came with fried rice and egg drop soup A dry noodle dish with minced beef and veggie Pan fried dumplings Honestly they weren't the best but they weren't bad either. It was actually nostalgic of home cooking. Portions was really good considering the price. You can't really get an entree with fried rice and soup for $10-12 these days...but this place has it and good portions Dumplings could have gotten more flavors but not bad. Noodle was my favorite hands down. My little boys love them too. I hope this place gets a little more business as I can see myself coming here often when I'm lazy of cooking but want something like a home cook meal

    This is a no-frills kind of restaurant with 3 kiosks to order from before you sit down. You can…read morealso order from a QR code on the table but it didn't work when we went in. The food overall is average, quite oily and salty overall. The garlic green beans were REALLY oily, don't recommend. Their portion sizes are very generous for the price though! An okay spot, but one of the worse restaurants in a plaza of great restaurants.
