Ordered the lamb soup noodles and they were juicy, comforting, and super satisfying. The portion was huge; honestly more than enough for two people. Perfect for a cold Vancouver day. Also tried the Chinese burger. It was good, though the cumin flavor was a bit strong for my personal taste. Service was prompt and helpful, and there's plenty of parking which is always a plus. The place has a casual deli kinda vibe. Simple. Nothing much. But good food read more

Old Xian Road is a solid value spot if you're craving bold Xi'an-style flavors without spending much. The place isn't the cleanest, so expectations should be set accordingly, but the food delivers where it matters. The highlight for me was the lamb fried noodles -- flavorful, satisfying, and easily the standout dish. The Chinese burgers were decent: I tried the crispy marinated beef and the steamed pulled pork. Both had good flavor, but I was a bit surprised they came out cold, which makes me think the proteins are pre-cooked and assembled rather than freshly made to order. Overall, I'd rate the burgers around 3 stars, the noodles 4 stars, and cleanliness about 3 stars. If you care more about taste and value than ambiance, it's worth a visit. read more

Great price for the portion sizes. We couldn't finish it all and had to pack some of the chicken. Chili oil noodles are yummy, packed with flavour but also not too heavy so I didn't feel bloated after. $13.99 Chicken nuggets also crispy, not too salty either. $12.99 Only disappointment was the tomato egg pork noodles. The pork was kind of sweet? and didn't go well with the other stuff. tomatoes also made the whole thing really soggy. $14.99 read more

Always wanted to come here but scared of the parking lot. Not enough spaces for the number of businesses and patrons. My Coquitlam bestie drove and treated. Loved the braised beef with hand-pulled noodles. Didn't actually need dinner after this and a bubble tea for lunch. Will come again but maybe park elsewhere and walk over. read more

I was surprised to see the shop still quite busy despite arriving near the closing hour on a Sunday. The shop is spacious and bright. They have space to cater both bigger groups and solo dinners. There is parking in the plaza but not a lot, so plan ahead! The staff were quick to cater to customers arriving and they explain how much the waiting time was immediately. They also take both cash and card As soon as I was seated, they served hot tea. If you order a spicy dish, they give you an option of how spicy how you want your food (ie., mild, medium, hot spicy). I ordered a medium spicy No.45 with biang biang noodles (Hot Spicy Oil on Brised Beef Noodles), and the spiciness was not too bad at all. The sauce was just the right amount of savoury - there was no overpowering element, and I really enjoyed the balanced taste. The beef was tender and the cabbage still had a little crunch to it. The biang biang noodles were the highlight of this meal, of course. It's thick and chewy, and so fun to eat! Next time I'll have to try their cold noodles and dumplings! read more

We recently learned about northern Chinese cuisine with their hand-pulled wheat noodles. I looked for the best rated place in Richmond and called my Baiodi/cousin to join us. This was and amazing experience. A very unassuming restaurant in a mall filled with culinary choices. We were not to be swayed our mission was to go and experience the biang biang noodle dishes of the north. We were so hungry that we order a few starters, the crunchy potato and the cucumber with peanuts in chili oil both really yummy. My choice was the braised beef noodle soup with biang biang noodles, oh my god it was delicious!!!! We also had the veggies with chilli oil noodles and the beef with cumin and noodles. All very tasty and so filling. We didn't finish it all half of the noodle dishes came home for our lunch the next day. Well worth going to this place, food it great, service from staff is pleasant and the place is comfortable. read more

What a great find for specialty dishes with authentic Chinese (Xi'an) flavours! We've ordered take out a few times but have not had a dine in experience until now. I love how they offer different types of noodles for their noodle dishes. We picked the biangbiang noodle for the braised beef noodles, and tried the hand-pulled noodle for the Xinjiang chicken stew. Textures for both were great and I love how big the portions are. My toddler absolutely loved the Xinjiang chicken stew. We gave him a bit of the leftover sauce with some rice and he had two bowls. The cumin lamb burger is filled with lamb, and they cut it in half for you so it is easy to hold and eat. The cumin diced lamb is always a good choice and I love how it comes with veggies. The beef in the braised beef with potato was so so so tender and different from the braised beef noodles so do not be shy about ordering both! The thinly sliced village pork is delicious and just a bit spicy. My favourite dish this meal was the sweet sour eggplant. The slightly sweet and slightly sour is so appetizing and just had me going back for more and more. The place is quite roomy and sports many tables to dine in. There is a small parking lot shared with other stores. You can also opt for take out. Pay at the counter. read more

Miles and miles better than the location at Crystal mall, this location is an actual restaurant and the food quality is much much better. Liangpi here is consistently good. read more

We dined here at 1 pm for lunch. I had ordered from this place in the past at a different location. I got the lamb burger and I tried some of the lamb tripe dish. Their food dishes are so tasty and full of flavor. The lamb tripe was very tender. Ingredients were fresh. Prices are very reasonable and portion size was great. Service was ok. You can't expect too much especially at a small restaurant. The place was busy when I went but not to the point where I had to wait. I got seated right away. Only complain here is the small parking lot. I didn't bother parking inside and instead I parked in the residential area. I highly recommend trying this place if you have never been. I really like their food and definitely will be back. They have other locations in Richmond and an Old Xian at Crystal Mall Food Court. I prefer the sit down restaurant because it would be a lot more comfy. read more

With 4 locations in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, & Coquitlam, Old Xian's Food is a popular casual eatery serving up unique northwestern Chinese dishes. - Tomato Eggs & Soy Bean Pork Noodles (with BiangBiang noodle) - Cumin Beef Fried Noodle (with hand-pulled noodle) - Stewed Pork Burger - Soymilk I loved the texture of their famous thick BiangBiang noodle! It was extra thick, soft, stretchy, & chewy at the same time. The Cumin Beef Fried Noodle was also very tasty, albeit being a little on the oilier side. The spice-braised meat in the Stewed Pork Burger was tender & perfectly seasoned. "Rouga Mo", as the burger is called in Xi'an, is a very popular snack among the locals there. The sweetened Soymilk pairs perfectly well with this crispy burger! We were pleasantly surprised with everything we ordered -- the flavours were very unique & quite unlike other Chinese food we've tried before from other regions. Definitely will be back again soon to try other items on their menu! read more

Northern Chinese food seems to be getting more popular in North America, and I'm loving it. Finally got to try Old Xian Food on North Road, tucked in a small plaza with very limited parking but a lot of great restaurants. Old Xian brings flavours I've been craving, the savory, salty, spicy-umami goodness. Here is what we ordered: Braised Beef Noodle in Soup (we chose Biang Biang Noodles) $14.99 Fried Veggies in Garlic Sauce $18.99 Flavoured Gluten $6.99 Stewed Pork Burger $6.99 (add cilantro for $0.50) Pork and Chive Dumpling $10.99 Sesame Sauce Cold Noodle $12.99 My favourite items were definitely the Fried Veggies in Garlic Sauce and the Sesame Sauce Cold Noodles. All the other items ordered were delicious. I can't wait to try some of their other dishes. The space is cozy with at least 12 tables. But it seems that they get a lot of take out, due to the limited parking. If you're not used to Northern Chinese style food, then you may not know what to expect but just go for it. You may find something you'll love. 10/10 would go back again. read more

The food here is AMAZING - really authentic and similar to what I ate in China. The price also cannot be beat! We got two bowls of cold noodles and didn't really think it was going to be so big because one bowl was $8.99 and the other was $10.99. Both our bowls came overflowing with noodles and we wished we actually shared a bowl instead of ordering our own. The restaurant is small (only 9 tables) but the ambiance is nice and did not feel crowded. The service was pretty standard which is always appreciated! read more

So excited about this Coquitlam location cuz it's closer to home! It's a small parking lot and storefront, but the food is delicious! We got the spicy oil noodle with soy sauce pork, tomato and egg (biang biang noodles, so wide and soaked up the sauce perfectly), as well as stewed lamb noodle in soup, both were so good portions are generous and ingredients fresh. Staff were friendly and attentive too. read more
