There were so many classic Chinese Shanghainese dishes that's hard to find elsewhere these days. Unfortunately, when we got the dishes, they were just so so. The dishes all tasted fine but either not exactly the right color or the right taste that we'd expect. I think it's fine as an ordinary Chinese restaurant but we were a bit disappointed as we were hoping for the first class Shanghainese cuisine.

However, it keeps falling apart as you try to pick it up with the chopsticks... BEEF RICE NOODLE ROLL: 8/10 It tastes fresh and I enjoyed this one m dish the most. However, the sauce came in a plastic sauce container and was on the bland side. I preferred dipping it with hot mustard and soy sauce... PORK & SHRIMP SIUMAI: 7/10 I only tried half a piece and stopped. I'm not sure why but, it tasted like it was too dry and it was small as well. The filling of the shrimp and pork wasn't as juicy as it should be so I stopped eating it... TARO CAKE: 6/10 I took one bite and had to stop because it was TOO SALTY. Did someone drop a bag of salt into this dish while making it? SERVICE: 9/10 Good Service. They also speak English! They are attentive and will come around if you need more napkins And Togo boxes... AMBIANCE: Instead of carts they have trays being circulated. It's really peaceful, calm and quiet at this location.

You walk in thinking, "I'll just grab a quick bowl," and suddenly there's a noodle master stretching dough like he's training for the Olympics. Their Lanzhou-style noodles? Fresh, chewy, and honestly a little too good--they'll ruin instant ramen for you forever. The Lan noodle soup is so rich and savory. The died mixed noodle feels like a warm hug... if hugs came with chili oil and a kick that sneaks up on you. It's a small, busy spot, so yeah, you might wait--but don't worry, the line moves fast. Plus, it gives you time to emotionally prepare for choosing your noodle shape. Thin? Wide? Triangle? This is not a decision to take lightly. One wrong move and you'll be thinking about it halfway through your bowl like, "I should've gone wider."

They have a small and large sweet and sour chicken rice plate. I had gotten the small size just to try it out, but it was surprisingly good (5/5). The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.

The restaurant is considered an upscale fine dining establishment and while that is correct; the vibe here is very cozy and comfortable- rather welcoming and not a snobby environment . You can dress up or casual (dress down). Beautiful modern open space dining area and private dining room are available. Kid friendly restaurant is a plus.

We decided to try walk-in because we had kids and seniors that wanted to eat early. Arriving at 5:30pm they said they can accommodate us in the back room. It was a bit crammed, but we fit. The back room seemed like an addition to the nice restaurant in the front. Minimal decor with a few booths and tables. It felt like we were dining in the servants quarter. The food was okay, but expensive. We probably won't come back when there are many restaurants that are either better value or have nicer ambiance.

The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

I wasn't a huge fan of the beef chow fun because I found it a little bland for my taste. The service is efficient, and while the interior is a little dated (peep the advertising placemats), it was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking available in the lot. I also enjoy their Hainan chicken which was tender enough - which I was delighted to find comes with a salted egg and some lightly pickled vegetables. Their beef cube dish is also good - the beef was tender, and the accompanying mix of onions, mushrooms, basil, and few jalapenos tastes great over rice. Their menu is huge and I definitely want to try more items next time!

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.

Overall, most of the dishes were solid. The only one I could have skipped was the chicken and potato dish...it just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I think this was the dish that we took leftovers since everyone else also felt a similar way regarding that dish. The skewers were well-cooked, but the cumin flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste, and it lingered longer than I would've liked. With that said, there were definitely some highlights. I really loved the shrimp fried rice and the beef dumplings, but my favorite was the wide noodle dish with mixed meats. It was incredibly flavorful and hit all the right notes. I actually ordered it after noticing another table enjoying the same dish. Honestly, their reactions said everything and it absolutely lived up to the expectation. The owner was warm and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant itself is very clean, with bright lighting and a modern aesthetic that makes it feel inviting. Parking is also convenient, with plenty of space available in the back garage. All in all, it's a spot I'd recommend for anyone looking to try authentic flavors from the Xi'an region.
