    9. Pork & Leek Dumpling
    Morgan H.

    We absolutely loved our meal here, and service was friendly and welcoming. As it was our first time, the woman who helped us made recommendations on which dumplings to order, and we selected the pork and leek variety for a more intense flavor. She also explained the sauces to us and when we combined them it made such a flavorful dip for the already flavor-packed dumplings. We really enjoyed them. We also split the House Special Fried Noodle. I was a fan of the wide noodles and the wood ear mushrooms, and this was my favorite dish that we ordered. That would have been enough food for the two of us but we couldn't leave without their famous Lao Xi'er Special Beef Noodle Soup. The broth was clean and balanced, the meat was so tender, and the noodles were the perfect texture. It won't be our last time here!

    Wife's special noodles
    Jeremy S.

    I tried this restaurant for the first time and enjoyed the noodles. The ambience was quiet, so it was easy to have conversations. We ordered the wife's special noodles (includes beef, ground pork, and tomatoes and eggs) and the house special noodles with fried, boiled pork. Portion sizes are generous, so leftovers can be expected. There was also a relatively short wait for the noodles. With little bowls provided, you can share the different noodle dishes. In terms of toppings, I enjoyed the wife's special noodles the most. There were a lot of tasty, tender beef pieces. I enjoyed the sauce and seasoning. The pork from the house special noodles was decent, but the dish overall was a little oily. However, I preferred shape and texture from the house special noodles. There was a nice chewiness to the noodles.

    Came back again and ordered the house special fried noodles and wife's special noodles. The portion is still pretty good at the price point. It was a bit greasy though. We came right when they opened so there was no wait. Staff was quick in taking orders and bringing out the food. It was not too loud inside, a good ambiance to chat while eating.

    Wife special noodle and house special fried noodle

    Came in at opening on a weekday and it took awhile for someone to come greet us (door was unlocked but no one was at the front). I ordered the wife's special noodle and the house special fried noodle. Both were pretty good, although I'm not sure if it's Michelin good. The wife's special noodles were saucy and the meat was very tender. It had a good flavor but was a tad bit salty. The fried noodles were good and my toddler really enjoyed them. They reminded me a bit of beef chow fun. Overall, pretty good food. It's a bit pricey but the portions are big. There's also plenty of parking in the back.

    This place has been on my bookmark for a little bit, so I'm glad that I got to try today. I definitely want to start with a positive. I really like their Lao Xi'er Special Beef Noodle Soup (mild spicy ) and Jelly Fish with Black Fungus. The beef was very tender and the noodle had a good chew. I did enjoy the jellyfish dish that was different from other places, just wish the pieces weren't as big. We also ordered Pork & Leek Dumplings. It was pretty average. We really didn't like the House Special Fried Noodle, which lack flavor and the Green onion pancake. The pancake barely had any green onions and was a little too dense. I think we would only come back for the beef noodle dish that was the start of dinner.

    Drove out to Arcadia specifically to try this place at the recommendation of a friend and I'm glad that I did! Decent portion sizes, especially for the price. I got the cold jelly as well as the cat ear noodle soup, and both were super delicious and filling. I feel like I love anything that comes covered in sesame sauce and chili oil, and they definitely did not skimp on the sauce for the cold jelly here. I was quite literally drinking the sauce after I finished with all the jelly pieces. I was also pretty surprised by all the ingredients that were in the cat ear noodle soup. There was a strong lamb flavor, and the texture of the cat ear noodles were nice and chewy. It was my first time having this type of noodle in an Asian dish, and would definitely come back again!

    I enjoyed the delicious food and the homey atmosphere with photos along the wall. The service was great with their 2 most popular dishes serving their part.

    Story behind the dish
    Miranda O.

    I came here to investigate this new restaurant that I spotted a few weeks ago when driving to the mall. It has two Michelin ratings, the latest was last year. I ordered the wife noodles dish, beef, tomatoes and eggs, ground pork over noodles and sliced squash, it was truly delicious. I was talking photos of the story behind the restaurant, posted meat the front door. The story of the wife dish was a couple of classmates that didn't know each other, the woman cooks this dish, and the friend thought to himself that it would be nice to marry the girl so that he could have the dish every day. It was a convincing story, try this dish out, I also ordered the green onion pancakes as a side dish. Parking should be available in the alley next the start of the outdoor mall. You need to walk to Baldwin Avenue to walk through the front door. You won't be disappointed if you came in for a meal, I left a happy camper!

    Jelly Fish with Black Fungus - wasn't quite for me but my friend liked it
    Hiromi R.

    My Asian foodie friend from the Bay Area came to visit and I let her pick a spot for dinner in the SGV. She picked Lao Xi - I've had this place bookmarked for a while so I was excited to check it out! Overall, I will rate the food a 4, and service 3. Flavors of the food were very good, and I enjoyed everything we ordered (except the jelly & fungus, that wasn't for me). We shared all these items: - Special Beef Noodle Soup - had to give this a try and I have no regrets. This was delicious - meat was tender, broth was tasteful and well balanced, noodles were good texture. The portions are generous, I took some home. This was a win! - Wife Special Noodle - not sure why it's called 'wife', maybe the wife of the shop makes it? *shrug* whatever the story behind it, it was also very tasty and flavorful. We mixed up all the ingredients together which really enhanced the flavor. I like this one! - Pork & leek dumplings - simple, one-bite dumplings that was a nice change from the noodles. I found them juicy and enjoyed with drops of soy sauce. - Jelly & black fungus - I feel they should change the name of this dish. "Fungus" isn't very alluring. I'm sure this is a refreshing salad to some, but just wasn't for me. The service needs some TLC. We weren't greeted when we walked in, weren't escorted to a table, and no one came to check in on us. Nothing bad happened, I just needed a bit more attention. I would likely come back with someone who truly enjoys authentic Asian food. It's worth a visit!

    Pickled vegetable fatty beef glass noodle soup
    Andrew L.

    This was our second time here, and we enjoyed the food much more this time. Unfortunately the full experience was more difficult to enjoy since we had two toddlers with us, and they were being very loud while the rest of the restaurant was pretty quiet. The pickled vegetable with fatty beef (酸菜肥牛粉絲湯) was good, albeit the beef was a tiny bit too fatty. The clear broth beef noodle soup was very nice, similar to a Korean sullungtang, and the pork and leek dumplings (韭菜豬肉水餃) reminded me of home. The chili oil and black vinegar went well with the dumplings and the beef noodle soup. Prices are not cheap these days, about $17 on average per dish, with the fatty beef soup being closer to $30 since it was a large bowl (pretty good value for how much we got). So we didn't get any of the cold dishes even though I wanted to try them. Next time maybe!

    Green onion pancake. Not bad but also nothing to write home about
    Vivi L.

    Been on my list for a while and finally came in on a Saturday for lunch. The noodles were to die for! I got the special with three toppings and it was so perfect and delicious. The meat sauce and tomato egg brought back my childhood memories the nostalgia! The beef cubes were so tender and flavorful. The noodles are perfectly al dente with a little bite. Not to mention the bowl is huge! This place is legit! The dumplings were good as well but I prefer some of the other SGV greats. Service is quick and friendly. No wait when I went around 1pm. This is now my go to when I get noodle cravings!

    Eggplant and minced pork noodle
    Karen L.

    Very good textured noodles. You can tell they make it in house. The staff was friendly too as a mom and pop local shop, although slow at times when it gets busy. The eggplant and pork noodle I got was very flavorful and the portions were extra large. Plenty to bring back home. Ample parking in back too. Recommend a try if you are in the area!

    Wife Special Noodle
    Sandy N.

    Been meaning to try this place, however, my expectations were not met. Came here around 7:40PM and was seated right away, but also felt rushed ordering. My fiancé and I ended up ordering Lao Xi'er Special Beef Noodle Soup and Wife Special Noodle. The beef noodle soup was a bit salty and the broth was very mild in flavor. The bok choy was cooked perfectly and the beef was very tender. I also really loved the noodles but I just couldn't get myself to enjoy this meal as the soup was the main component into tying this whole dish together. As for the Wife Special Noodle, it definitely had that tart and umami flavor from the tomato. Quite strong but it was also a bit too salty. I feel like the flavor for this is quite simple as eggs in tomatoes is a staple food for many. If I had to pick the two, I would choose the wife noodles because of it having flavor. Overall, there were definitely some pros and cons for me and I think I just left feeling okay about this place. I really do enjoy how fast we got our food ( less than 10 minutes) and the texture of the noodles though.

If you're planning to visit on a Saturday, I'd recommend arriving before noon to beat the lunch rush. Also I noticed they had a couple of private rooms on the way to the restroom. One thing that really stood out was the impressive variety of buns and dumplings. There were so many different options that I found myself taking more photos than mental notes! While I'm not enough of a dim sum expert to remember all the names, I've enjoyed dim sum throughout my life, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out.

Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

My dad unfortunately didn't know what to get but he ultimately decided on the hainan chicken. The waiter confirmed 3 of the same dishes and we confirmed. The food came but mine didn't and it seemed the waiter only put in 2 orders. Therefore, I had to wait but my uncle shared half his pork and chicken with me because it was a lot for him. Good thing they didn't put on my order because i wanted pasta and not rice and my sister and uncle asked for rice, so good thing i got mine after with mushroom sauce (black pepper sauce is surprisingly too spicy for me). I love the mixed vegetables, but sure what makes it good since it's just bland zucchini, peas, green beans, carrots, and corn. But goes so well with the dish. The mash potatoes were also good...I loved everything tbh... My sister and I each got a refill on our drink and I felt a weird aura from the start so u didn't ask for another. We had so much leftover since I ate most of my uncles dish and he barely ate but I'm so happy they still had great portions.

    Luscious Dumplings gave us another amazing dining experience! It had been about a year since the…read morelast time we ate here. We came in recently to redeem our SGV Food Passport for 1 order of the mixed pan fried dumplings. The parking is typically not bad around the evening time. The location is always busy and sometimes 80% full. They have maybe 8-10 tables inside. We came in and were seated quickly the staff was awesome she explained everything about our SGV redemption and we orders some XLB dumplings as well. We both redeemed our deals as ended up with 20 free pan fried dumplings. We got to try 4 types of the pan fried plates. We ate the chicken, shrimp & cabbage, fish and pork. These are some of BEST pan fried dumplings in the SGV. These tasted even better than the first time we came here. I'm happy they still deliver on quality of food and quality of service! Thanks again, Luscious Dumplings!

The broth is delicate but packs a mean punch of flavor, no restaurant has come close to a balance as good as this. If you have been to the OG luscious or one one dumpling, this is the exact same. - Pan Fried Pork Dumpling 13.5 The skin is thick and fried to caramelized heaven. I would say if you want a hefty dumpling this is the place. If you remember the original location, the dumplings taste similar but not fried as well. Still one of the best spots around. - Pork XLB 13.5 One of the dishes you just have to get when eating taiwanese beef noodle soup. No notes, a great XLB with thin skin that doesn't break easily! If you have never been here, you have to come. The chili oil is my sister's favorite that she buys a bottle every time we visit. My brother in law has me order take out every time I visit him in the bay, this place is truly that good. Ambiance isn't great but thats not the reason why this place is amazing, the emphasis is on the food. Bathroom rating is 4 stars, decent enough to use. Not much interaction with staff, you order with QR Code.

    So happy to see more Xi'an food popping up around SGV, especially when it's done this well. As…read moresomeone born and raised in Xi'an, the flavors here felt genuinely authentic, and I already know I'll be back. We ordered the Youpo Noodles with Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Sandwich, and Cumin Lamb Sandwich. The marinated beef sandwich was the standout. They absolutely nailed the execution, from the tender, flavorful meat to the texture of the bread. I would come back for this alone. It immediately took me back to eating rou jia mo from a street cart while walking around Xi'an, which is about the highest compliment I can give it. The noodles were freshly handmade, wonderfully springy, and completely soaked with flavor. The beef brisket made them even more satisfying. The cumin lamb sandwich was the only item I felt slightly on the fence about. The filling was good, but I personally wanted a little more seasoning and a stronger cumin flavor. The interior is spacious and clean, service was fast and painless, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. Such a great addition to Arcadia and easily one of the better Xi'an spots I've tried in the area.

    This is truly one of those places that keeps you coming back again and again. The kind of…read morerestaurant you still crave and can't wait to revisit. 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.
