    Minced Pork Oil Splashed Hand Pulled Noodles
    Jessica G.

    Taking place at UCLA's busy food alley sitting alongside with plenty other eateries. Decent dine in spot for small to medium group. Their signature was the very wide hand pulled noodles, coming with different kinds of proteins. It didn't turn out as spicy as it looked, which for me was actually better. We got the minced pork one and really loved it. Huge portion with perfect noodle texture and generously topped with flavorful chunky minced pork. I did add extra chili oil provided on the table and paired it to the Xiao Long Bao. My highlight was more the noodles than the XLB as I wished them having more broth inside.

    great northwest authentic chinese food! must try the short rib oil noodle, shrimp uni shumai, millet sticky rice dessert, and mango coconut smoothie (heytea mango boom dupe). classics are also the xlb, smashed cucumber, and any of the braised rice dishes. personally i love the braised chicken! prices are fair and its a great alternative to din tai fung (always a wait). plus, they have unique drinks/desserts not offered there!

    Very lackluster experience, they seem to be in soft opening still and figuring out smoother operations but that wasn't a big problem. The employees are still very kind and attentive Food however felt a little overpriced, the portions seemed huge but it was really just the excessively large bowl (at least for the handpulled noodles). Xiao long bao had a lot of soup but skin was a little thick, cucumber salad was really mild in flavor, chicken handpulled noodles were pretty dense and every so slightly undercooked but I likes the flavor of the sauce. I just think maybe there was just a tad too much chili powder and/or it wasn't mixed in properly because mine had layers of dry powder on it I would come back though to try the butter noodles and rice options, maybe it was a one off experience

    I had high expectations and was excited to see an authentic regional chinese cuisine come to Westwood, but alas no; watered down for the Westside community as usual. The flavors of the sauce was meh and the noodles were over cooked. The dumbing were cute but the flavor of the meat was weird. The dumplings and house signature dish came to $35 for a very mediocre meal. I don't mind paying, I just hate bad food.

    Great experience coming here and enjoying the food. Looks like they're new still and are fully up and running now, service was great and attentive. They do accept card/tap to pay. Noodles are heavy! That feeling of freshly made and I loved it! This was the noodles splashed in chili oil, I got just noodles only because I also ordered a lil treat. Noodles can be shared. Definitely will be returning, great ambiance.

    Butter Garlic Noodles with Beef Sauce
    Larry Y.

    New kid on the block in Westwood! Came here two times across two weeks, after being disappointed that they ran out of hand-pulled noodles the first time I was there. Overall, good vibes but bland and oily food. Scallion Pancake (2/5): Starting with the appetizer, the pancake was dry and flaky, and the taste was pretty bland. I prefer my scallion pancakes oily and flavorful. Butter Garlic Noodles with Beef Sauce (3/5): The noodles were alright, but I wish they added more beef sauce since the noodles tasted pretty bland without the sauce, and there was definitely not enough sauce to cover the entire dish. Beef Short Rib Oil Splashed Hand Pulled Noodle (3/5): The following week I was really excited to try the signature oil splashed hand pulled noodles, but I was left disappointed after trying them. The noodles, while hand-pulled, stuck together in clumps of two for the most part. The sauce for the most part was all oil and spiciness, and since the noodles were so thick and don't absorb flavor as well as thin noodles, left me feeling like I was just consuming spicy oil for the most part. The saving grace was the beef short rib which was well cooked and falling off the bone. Overall, mid food but I expect them to still have ok business in Westwood where the options for Chinese food are slim. Elsewhere, they probably wouldn't survive long. I personally wouldn't be back unless my friends really wanted to go again.

    Delicious and tender beef rib bone Noodles texture was too thick and chewy and didn't absorb sauce and flavors well. I just ate the rib and tossed most of everything else

    I have never seen UNI dumplings before and they might be my new favorite thing ever this place really surprised me, everything was not only comforting but SO GOOD! Service was amazing the servers were very attentive and kind to us, this place is new they haven't been opened for long but the parking in this location is limited but we parked at a lot in the area. Nice booths to sit in, would come again for sure!!

    Newer restaurant in the Westwood area, the inside decor was very modern and AC was very strong which is great for summer right around the corner. Staff was very friendly and attentive which I appreciated. I ordered the short rib hand pulled noodles which I found a tad underwhelming tbh. The noodles were lacking in flavor I was expecting more, I had to add more chili oil for flavor and spice. As for the rib it was served on the colder side when I got my food which was a bummer. The xiao long bao were fine but they're a one and done thing imo.

    The food at XIBEI Eatery was flavorful, and beautifully presented. I especially enjoyed the authentic Northern Chinese flavors that are not always easy to find elsewhere. The service was attentive and friendly, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and perfect for gathering with family and friends. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous.

    Yay more noodles spots in Westwood! They had the hand pulled noodles which is what I've been hoping for. We tried the dry noodles hand pull and also the butter meat noodles. Both were different in flavors and different noodles. Also tried their pork appetizer which was really crispy, just didn't have any sauce to accompany it but we dined in so just use the chili oil and soy sauce. the hand pulled noodles were large and very long and pretty good, I only wish it was a more on the chewier side since I like it al dente. But the favor was great. The beef bone was pretty tasty but wasn't fall off the bone enough. Sauce was spicy and had a bit of numbing, I'm surprised they didn't ask for level of spice. The butter noodles were very slippery and buttery and the meat sauce was really good. It was different from what I thought. Service was fast and since they just opened, I think they were still figuring out a few things especially when we asked for more water and box to take leftovers. Ambiance is casual, since its in Westwood after all. Lots of seating and very clean inside. Can go with groups or solo too. Will definitely be back. I want to try some of their drinks as well. Will try the soup dishes next time for sure. Overall, recommend!

    This is a solid UCLA spot that is affordable and delicious. There's plenty of seating and it's super clean. We were seated promptly and ordered a ton of items to try. Here is what we got and what we ranked them: Passion fruit green tea: 10/10 Mango coconut milk smoothie: 1000/10 Golden berry juice- 7/10 (it was tart, which I liked but too tart for my hubby) Beef brisket noodles- 9/10- huge portion! Butter noodles with beef sauce- 10/10 Dan Dan noodles- 7/10 Scallion pancake: 6/10 Beef and onion shumai- 10/10 Shrimp, zucchini and egg shumai- 10/10 unique delicious combo Shrimp & uni shumai- 9/10- surprisingly delicious Cucumber salad- 8/10- very refreshing Overall, I think the spot was great for university students or anyone that lives in the area. It's affordable and the service is great! Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

The chips were actually really delicious, crispy and nicely seasoned/salted. They were really addicting! We split some dishes for the table. The brussel sprouts, tostada de atun, and the atun Pacifico ceviche. These were honestly all just okay, none of us were blown away. The tostada had a beautiful presentation but the flavor was a little smoky which I wasn't a big fan of. I also got a pescado taco which was decent. Best thing was honestly probably the chips haha.

The skewers were all seasoned nicely, although they were a bit hard to eat since they were so big. Starting with the pork belly wrapped cabbage skewer, I don't believe the cabbage added any sustenance to the dish. I did like the bacon wrapped tomato skewer since the pop of acidity and freshness from the tomato paired well with the fat from the pork. Chicken Karaage, 9.1/10: definitely the best dish here. Chicken was fried perfectly, and was warm when it came out. The batter was not too thick or heavy. Season well with enough space.The lemon is a must for acidity and brightness. And of course they kewpie mayo is a nice touch. Tonkotsu Ramen, 7.5/10: the pork broth was rich and deep. The noodles were nice and chewy and firm clinging onto that broth. However, the portion was a bit small for the price. I was caught off guard by that. Granted, this place doesn't boast about the ramen. Overall, this wasn't anything mind blowing. Stuffed chicken wing, 8/10: stuffed generously with ground chicken ginger scallions and seasonings. The outside skin was flavorful crispy and savory. The temperature of the wings were pretty good too. Solid.

I was a little bummed they had run out of sushi rolls, but they made up for it with the tuna crispy rice and tuna tartare, which were both excellent. Funny enough, both still had sushi elements, so I'm not sure how that worked, but I'm not complaining. For entrees, we ordered the branzino and shrimp curry. The food was very good -- maybe not the best I've ever had -- but the ambience and service elevated the whole night. What might've been an 8.5/10 meal became a true 10/10 experience. I'd definitely recommend Gemma for a date night, anniversary, or anyone looking for a beautiful rooftop dining experience in Beverly Hills.

    We came here for a firm event for dinner. The ambiance was nice, and there was plenty of seating…read more Service was good. The food however was so-so. That may have been because of the buffet style food. Some foods like the hangar steak and beef sliders were good. But everything else like the veggies and fish and salad were meh.

    It's been a few years since I have dined here... The ambiance is still great. Tucked away near…read moreCentury City, the entrance is quiet and feels hidden away. Entering the restaurant there's an open air patio in the back with lovely greenery and lighting. The decor and service is lovely, but unfortunately the food hasn't improved too much since my last visit a few years ago. While sounding good on the menu, I felt the flavors were lacking especially at this price point. We were pretty happy with the raw items, the hamachi, oysters and scallops. The scallop crudo felt like it should have been served with some chips or some vessel... We were just scooping scallops, cucumber and avocado out with some forks. The pork belly came and was presented well, but the pork belly itself was quite bland. The skin is crispy, most of the flavors came from the pickled carrots and vegetables. The hanger steak was cooked well, but it was way too salty. It was paired with this orange dip with maybe gojuchang?, fried potatoes pieces, roasted turnip, dill and pickled onions...it didn't work and it just tasted like a salty 58$ mess. The crispy brussel sprouts were for sure crispy.. and there was a big bowl of it....but it was way too salty/acidic with no sweetness to balance it. We gave it a second chance since we loved the vibes, but we were quite disappointed again and will likely not be coming back....
