    Easy parking, cool vibes, great service, and I would say I don't doubt that Xian Noodle Place is…read moreone of the best if not the best Chinese spot in Pensacola. However, in writing this review, I have to compare to spots I've ranked with however many stars, which includes different spots around the country, and when compared to the rest of the field, the ballgame's a bit different. First off, I'm grateful Pensacola has Xian Noodle Place. There clearly aren't that many options here when it comes to authentic Chinese food (I was trying hard to find a place when I landed at the airport). When I walked in, the service was friendly and seating was immediate. There is a bar area and there is a large seating area. Trendy remixes of Chinese pop hits from years past were being played. This all is super cool. As people know from my past reviews, beef noodle soup is a big factor in my judging. And I saw beef noodle soup options on the menu here and asked about them, because I want to make sure I'm getting what I'm wanting here. I'll give credit to the server - she was completely honest that the flavoring of the beef noodle soup wasn't the hearty richly-seasoned version known in Taiwanese circles. So I ordered the roast duck noodle soup and soup dumplings instead. The roast duck noodle soup is absolutely solid. It does the trick. The broth is a basic chicken broth, noodles are fine, and the duck is plentiful, as one would expect. Good garnish, it's tasty and does the trick. The soup dumplings, I would say, are perhaps not what you would get at an establishment that makes their own. Again, it's tasty and does the trick, but likely about the same as if you went to your local Chinese supermarket and bought the soup dumplings from the frozen section and then prepped it at home. Total price after taxes and standard tip? Over $30. One person, one normally-sized bowl of duck soup noodles and five soup dumplings with sauce. I know Miami is extremely pricey for food, so perhaps this is a Florida thing, but $30 is a bit exorbitant for food that does the trick but isn't quite spectacular. Again, I'm sure there are other options here that are tasty, but considering the different factors, when comparing to others in the game beyond Pensacola, the bottom line is I'd say Xian Noodle Place is solid but not spectacular, and also fairly pricey for the level of food served.

    First time trying this restaurant. There was 4 of us for a late lunch early dinner. The restaurant…read morewas not that busy. It was decorated like a Chinese restaurant would be. Nothing too fancy though. The prices were a bit high. I ordered a curry dish. I was not too thrilled about the taste. Everyone ended up taking the majority of their food to go. I ended up paying for the 4 of us,and it was over $100.00. no way was this considered a top class place , more casual. One dish was a seafood one and it had imitation seafood in it. For the price it should have had some real scallops or lobster. It was fake, and a couple of pieces you had no clue what it was supposed to be. Everyone agreed when we left that there were better places in the Pensacola area and much cheaper. The food I'm sorry was not exceptional or anything I'd have to go back to get. ( Rating due to the service)

    Food isn't bad. They have sadly cut alot of options over the years. Sushi seems to get replenished…read moreat random long intervals. Other than the lunch hours, the food tends to sit too long on the buffet line. Service is really bad. You get your initial drinks. But after that, the only time a server visits your table is when they clear plates while you're away getting a new one. I usually have to get up and ask someone for the check. It's not a bad experience. Just not a good one.

    7/15/26 update:…read more I was in town in Navarre and brought my entire family here for dinner. After the good experience I had in the last few times. We came here on a Wednesday night and there was not many people in the parking lot. We were seated right away. I went up to get what I normally love here's. The crawfish. This time, the crawfish was cold and the inside were black and tasted horrible. It tasted not fresh. The frog legs were not stocked and I had to wait 30 min before they brought some out. I didn't try anything else because everything looked like it's been sitting out for hours. Waitress service was slow and I had to ask for my refill. I am not sure what happened here as I gave this place such a high rating, but not this time. The ice cream bar was super unsanitary and the water that is dripping on the spoon was nasty and dirty. I probably won't be back again when I am in town again. You can chance it if you're feeling adventurous.
