I loved both the dishes we got - the wife's noodle and hand pulled house special. The wife's noodle's beef was super tender. Our favorite though was the hand pulled. It is on the oily side which many have mentioned but the pickled bamboo helps cut through that and is very needed.

I ordered the Laoxi Beef Noodle soup and thought it was a very solid bowl of beef noodles! The beef was flavorful and was springy without being very tough or hard to chew. The noodles had a nice chew to them as well and the soup was flavorful. Overall, I think this place makes for a very solid bowl of Taiwanese beef noodle soup in comparison to Din Tai Fung or other shops. I will be back to try the other items soon.

I loved the delicious flavors of the sauce, chashu, chives, seaweed, garlic, etc. The sauce is very savory and the noodles were thick too. I wasn't able to finish my bowl and took home a third of it. I wish I had room to finish it! The bowl is super heavy when you lift it so they definitely pack it up! I liked adding the spicy dashi powder to enhance the flavor a little bit more. Service was great. We order on a QR code and just 1 phone to place the order. The food came out quickly and they were friendly as well. The dining area has about 10-12 tables for small groups. It does get packed so come early! I highly recommend for the umami flavor!

At the end of the meal, don't forget to ask for a small bowl of rice to eat with any leftover sauce at the end. This is a hearty bowl that will give you food coma afterwards. Service here is always pleasant. You order with using the QR code on the table. Dining area is spacious enough for small groups. It gets really packed during lunch and dinner, so I recommend you come early.

XiAn Foodie 李老三 serves food that is not only delicious, but authentic and full of soul. The handmade noodles were impressive. perfectly chewy and springy, soaking up the rich sauce. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying! The lamb skewers, beef skewers, beef shank noodles, lamb & carrot dumplings, and oil-splashed noodles are all highly recommended. Everything was tender, aromatic, and clearly prepared with great care and attention to flavor and ingredients. Spice lovers will definitely be happy here, but even if you normally don't eat spicy food, you'll still find yourself going back for bite after bite. The restaurant itself is simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable, with the warm feeling of a beloved local spot. The service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly, creating a relaxed and welcoming dining experience. Especially after a long day, having a hot bowl of their oil-splashed noodles feels genuinely comforting. If you enjoy unique Xi'an cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You can taste that the flavors have not been overly adjusted just to appeal to the masses. Instead, the restaurant preserves the authentic spirit, warmth, and bold flavors of traditional Xi'an cooking.

The menu is fairly large with lots of ramen and non ramen options. Food came out quickly. I got the katsuobushi pork ramen and it was very salty. My husband and kids got a the chicken and to tonkatsu ramen and theirs were much more balanced. The appetizers were really good. We got the Japanese French fries, purple sweet potato fries, and agedashi tofu. I also like the variety of spices at each table. By 7pm on a Saturday night, the place was pretty full. Parking was easy, but the plaza isn't fully occupied with tenants yet. Overall, would recommend and come back to try other items.

I especially liked the beehive-style seating. It gives each table a little more privacy, making it a great place for date night. Or, in our case... another mommy-and-me date night. I was a little disappointed they didn't serve hot tea as I always order a hot cup of tea with my meal. We ordered two A1 Classic Combos ($24.99 each). Each combo came with a bowl of Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen, a steamed pork bao bun, and matcha pudding with red bean. Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen The broth was rich and creamy. Overall, the ramen was okay. Steamed Pork Bao Bun The bun was soft and fluffy, and the pork was tender. It was simply the highlight of the meal. Matcha Pudding with Red Bean Neither my daughter nor I liked this dessert. It would be a great addition if we had choices for the dessert. The service could improve. Aside from bringing out our food, there wasn't much interaction with the staff.

Food: Ordered the house noodle soup with thick yellow noodles and rice noodles. Unfortunately, the flavors do not taste the same as they did in their old location. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Service: The staff is nice. This is a very small operation compared to their old site so there is just one person handling everything outside. Environment: The store location is horrible in that if you're coming from the East it is hard to access. The parking lot is horrible and with very limited space.

I always order the Pork Kidney & Shrimp with either rice vermicelli (A) or flat rice noodles (C). The kidney is fresh with generous portions, pairing nicely with the light broth. It's a very comforting dish, and I find myself craving it quite often. Small note, but if you get it for takeout like I usually do, be careful when transporting it since the soup has leaked a few times for me. Their Taiwanese Beef Noodle is also worth trying. The broth is on the thicker, rich side, with a flavorful spice and large cuts of tender beef. The noodles are wide and chewy, which are my personal favorite for beef noodle soups. The shop itself may look small and unassuming, but their food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Please come and support this mom and pop shop, you won't be disappointed!

However, once you get inside, the food they serve is truly impressive. We tried the beef noodles and the dumplings (both excellent, as expected), but the real standout was the cold noodles.

Everything we ate hit every flavor note you could possibly want from a great Asian restaurant. I will definitely be back soon to explore the rest of their menu!

Who would've guessed that the BEST Beef Noodle Soup would have been in the middle of Arcadia. The BEST. And the pork & shrimp dumplings some of the BEST we've had in SF and LA top spots. The cold jelly dish (mung bean) is AMAZING. Who knew such a small unassuming mom and pop shop could rival some of the Michelin spots we've ventured to. But honestly, most food that's made like your Mama made it is obviously gonna be better than any restaurant you ever go to. This is like they just happened to have a restaurant in their home. The food came out almost immediately, that broth had been cooking to perfection for who knows how long. Every bite of every dish was PER-FEC-TION. Just WOW. Thank you Auntie!!
