    L2.Dry Pot Cauliflower w.Cured Pork
    Miley D.

    Absolutely loved this place! Wow! It was our first time and it was really good. I was a bigger fan of all our appetizers than our entrees but we still had a great time! 1. crispy green beans - it had a kick to it and it was all made crispy and hot - I could eat this whole order by myself twice and eat it as my entree! So good! 2. Fried rice - wow, yes! So so so good. It was served hot and perfectly seasoned 3. The pork dry pot with Brussel sprouts were delicious! It was served hot and perfectly seasoned 4. Biang biang pork noodles - these wide noodles are made by hand and definitely tasted fresh. I'm not a big fan of wide noodles so I had a few bites and was satisfied! 5. General tso chicken - was very very good. It was crispy but with great sauce. It also came with dry roasted broccoli that was very good too! We will definitely come again!

    Shrimp fried rice and Mongolian Beef

    I really enjoyed this place. I ordered takeout on a Saturday night- shrimp fried rice, Mongolian beef and egg drop soup, everything was steaming hot and soo flavorful. I would get all those items again. The wait time honestly wasn't bad either, about 20 mins. The place was clean too and nice staff.

    I have been coming here off and on for years, ever since they first opened. Let me start off by saying that this is one of those places where I go to for very specific items. These items include the dip noodles in garlic sauce, which are wide hand pulled noodles with a side of garlic sauce, and the stir-fried bean jelly. The hand pulled noodles are always so fresh and bouncy, with a nice chew to them. Their garlic sauce is probably one of my top favorites in general. They don't hold back on the garlic, and the sauce has a nice kick to it without being too spicy for my tastebuds. Their stir-fried bean jelly was recommended to us on our first visit and we never looked back since. Something about the texture and taste just works well together. An item worthy of an honorable mention would have to be the hand pulled noodles with cumin lamb. However, this dish is super spicy for our taste buds so it's not a must order every time. Whenever we've been here, service has always been friendly and helpful in general. The ambiance is lowkey and comfortable with Chinese décor throughout the whole restaurant. Overall, this is a solid spot if you're looking for authentic Chinese food. They don't skimp on the flavor or spices!

    Broke our Xmas tradition and went out for Chinese for dinner on the 25th and I was tasked with finding a great spot to try. I previewed the menu photos and couldn't make up my mind on what to get so like we've done in the past is just go overboard and order lots . So glad we got there just after they opened (special hours 4pm - 8pm just for Xmas dinner), because it got really busy after 5pm. One thing we noticed is that they could have had more wait staff to get around to the patrons (2 weren't enough to handle the influx of diners). All in all we thought everything was perfectly seasoned (not salty like we've had at other places), but balanced well. I took the other reviewers tips and made sure to get the famous flat noodles with the lamb / cumin and that dish was the star of the night for us. Definitely coming back to get it again and try other recommended items!

    Amazing authentic Chinese food!!!! Tofu was so silky and tasty and the Jasmine Tea and great. Didn't add the biangbiang noodles to the pictures because we inhaled it before I could take a picture. This will surely be our go-to Chinese spot.

    I almost always opt for Mexican food...but not this night. We were hungry...we had options...then my best friend said "there's a pretty good Chinese place up here, let's do that." I was initially against it,...I wanted a burrito, but I gave in. This is a sit and order at your table place. We were greeted quickly with a smile. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Lots of seating inside and everything looked clean and inviting. The plates are definitely shareable, but we figured that out after ordering. I got the Biang Biang Noodles with Pork and it was really good! Nice and spicy with thick slices of jalapeño. My friends ordered other entrees that I tasted and liked them. They also ordered the Fish Pot...heads up, that is a HUGE! But wow, it was good. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'll come back....I need to try more here.

    The sweet-and-sour chicken dinner was good. I need to venture out and try more things. The waiter was very helpful and professional. Ambience was like you walked into Asia. The restaurant was very clean and authentic.

    The only place for good hand shaven noodles now that Nan Zhou is gone! There's a young man who works here who is always so friendly and helpful. I had cumin lamb noodles and dry-fried string beans. The noodles are so good! Next time I'll ask for spicier and try some of the other noodle options. Plenty of parking and easy to grab takeout or get a table.

    K01. Classic Twice Cooked Pork with Shaanxi Buns
    Amanda C.

    First time eating here in person! Pretty busy on a Saturday night walking in at 6pm. Spacious restaurant with a lot of large tables for bigger parties. There was live classical Chinese music playing as well which is pretty cool! The food here is pretty good and we would return for it. We ordered the water boiled fish which is a HUGE portion and too big for 2 so we had plenty of leftovers lol. Be careful, it's spicy. The biang biang noodles with pork and noodles with cumin lamb were delicious. My only gripe is that they're a bit understaffed. The wait times in between ordering weren't terribly long, but the 2 staff on the floor were quite busy and we had to remind them for bowls of rice to eat with our fish. Sometimes it's hard to get their attention.

    Cold pork slices in garlic sauce
    Dong T.

    Finally made good on my intentions to come back to this place for another go after having swung by during the Covid-19 times and only having access to their restricted menu. We ordered the fish water boil, shaanxi style burger w/ pork, biangbiang noodles (stir-fried noodles w/ pork), and the cold dish sliced pork in garlic sauce. The water boil was average, which I cannot fault them as this is traditionally a Szechuan style of cuisine. Theirs does not have the tongue numbing spice nor whole peppercorn that is typically found...so we screwed the pooch by ordering it and expecting something else. Good but we shouldn't have ordered it here tbh. The burger was unique, flaky, crusty, doughy, but the flavoring of the meat stuffing inside was odd. Sour, off-putting flavor, while I was expecting something on the more savory side. The noodle dish was the best part of the meal. Which I was truly hoping that it would be as they claim to specialize in hand pulled noodles and I was craving hand pulled noodles for a long time. I would definitely come back here again to try other offerings in their noodles section. And definitely order another main entree course that should be more of their specialty. I'll absolutely update my rating as I feel I just did not order the more of the true gems this place has to offer.

    An excellent restaurant that brings a true sense of home. The flavors are authentic and reminiscent of hometown cooking. The service is outstanding, and every dish is beautifully presented, delicious, and full of aroma. Highly recommended!

    Dry Pot with Duck.
    Joyce W.

    "The culinary history of Shaanxi cuisine is one of the world's longest, and one of the richest too. According to written materials, the first major features of Shaanxi cuisine, such as its diverse ingredients, refined cutting and cooking techniques, and rich flavors, could be traced back to as early as the West Zhou Dynasty, a few thousand years ago." ― chinatours.com It's Thanksgiving Day and I had no plans for a turkey-and-honey-glazed-ham dinner until the day after so no yummy dinner was being made on the big Turkey Day. I wanted some good eats without having to cook though so enter: Shaanxi Garden! We got the Water Boiled Fish in Spicy Oil, Dry Pot with Duck (my substitution for the big turkey bird for the holiday), and Beef with Vegetables. The three of us dug into a very moreish water boiled fish. I enjoyed eating rice with the sauce more than anything. The Dry Pot with Duck was interesting. It wasn't what I imagine but I liked it. As for Beef and Vegetables, it was pretty standard so no complaints. Shaanxi Garden is a great place. It was super busy the night we went and the service and food didn't suffer at all despite a full house. Give them a try!

    C01 BBQ Lamb Soooo delicious, don't be fooled by the slightly small pieces of meat.
    Scott P.

    Such a gem, and I hope they move to the west valley so that I can come here all the time. Biangbiang is just such a unique texture and flavor, and a lot of their specialties here are things that you just can't find elsewhere.

    We arrived about 6:30pm on a Sunday evening, parking was ample and easy. We entered the restaurant…read moreand were greeted immediately and offer to select our table. We grabbed a private table near the window to enjoy the sunset. We ordered the Papaya salad as an appetizer to share, my friend had the Tom Yum soup as an entree and I had the Green Curry spicy. The salad and soup were ordered medium heat. We had water with lemon and shared a Asahi beer. The Papaya salad was delicious, fresh and had a little heat. The Tom Yum soup was excellent, creamy, wonderful coconut and lemon grass flavors. The Green Curry was one of the best curry dishes I've ever had. Deep and complex flavors, creamy coconut offset the heat perfectly. The atmosphere was causal and relaxed. The server was friendly and helpful in answering a few questions we had about the menu. Never had to ask for water refills as service was very prompt. We look forward to returning very soon. Highly recommended for excellent Thai cuisine with bold flavors!

    I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed Mae-Khong Thai Tapas & Bar yet, we're practically regulars! The…read moreservice is always fantastic, with a warm and welcoming team that makes every visit special. The Mojitos and Tang Gua cocktails are incredible and perfectly complement the food. We've tried so many dishes, including the spicy Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, Spring Rolls, Gai Tod, Kanoom Jeeb, Shrimp Summer Rolls, Tom Kha, and Drunken Noodles, and I honestly haven't had a bad dish yet. Everything is consistently flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Mae-Khong has become a favorite, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
