    Rolled the dice on the lunch list on a Wednesday and ended up on this place. The restaurant is located in the back corner of the plaza on the first floor. There weren't that many people there when we arrived slightly after 11:30. The front of the restaurant was served by one person. Very large menu with options for individual dishes or family style. We ordered the Shredded Pork with Sweet Paste Sauce, Noodles and Toothpick Lamb. Everything was pretty good and chili and spices were available at the table if it wasn't spicy enough. Portions were pretty good. The lamb was my favorite, and satisfied any craving I had for similarly flavored lamb skewers, especially for its price.

    Meatball dish - so good!  And it comes with four (4)!

    Tasty is a good word for the food here. The broth for the beef noodle soup is rich but not heavy and I think the noodles are homemade. My favorite was the meatballs with vegetables. The meatballs were super tender and the sauce was terrific! It came with four meatballs (most places only give three) and even had bok choy - a complete meal for me. It's a nice place with traditional decorations and good space. The lady who took our order was attentive and everything came out quickly. Good food, good portions, and fair prices. I will come here just for the meatball dish - so good!

    Tasty Xi'an is tucked away on Diamond Blvd with cute calligraphic murals lining the walls and pre-Covid price points. Yeah. Service is prompt, attentive and no-nonsense. Overall, charming, low-key, and absolutely not to be slept on. My partner, whose favorite dish is and has always been spicy beef noodles, after one bite officially crowned their Spicy Beef Noodle as his new favorite, dethroning Noodle Street after a 3-year reign. And honestly... Fair. The broth is insanely deep and rich, and the wide hand-pulled noodles are fresh, long, bouncy, and soak up the flavor like they were built for it. As for me, it looks like my hunt for the perfect Spare Ribs ends here. Crisp on the outside (which I didn't even know was a thing for this dish), perfectly tender inside, and coated in a sauce that hits every pleasure center in my brain. I'd go back just for this dish. This and the Braised Eggplant with Green Beans. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was another win: crisp, light, and not cloyingly sweet. We also tried the Cauliflower Dry Pot, which was excellent, and overheard the table next to us raving about their Lamb Dry Pot.

    Not too big of a place but both the food and price is good! Been here a few times now and I haven't been disappointed. If you look at the prices they can start off to about $8-$12 for each item, which is usually at least $15 now everywhere else. There is usually 1 or 2 people working and they are usually quite attentive. The place is modern and clean. I tried the "Speciel Hot Noodle" (yes it's spelled that way) and it was just a bowl of deliciousness in each bite of noodle. It didn't have meat, but it was ok because they have some sides you can order which was really good as well. Just note that you have to go order that as I don't really see those dishes on the menu. (Beef tripe. Seaweed, etc.) It seems like everything you order you can pretty much add a cooked egg, so if that is your jam don't hesitate to do so. Can't wait to try other bowls, looking forward to my next visit. Until next time!

    Tasty Xi'an really lives up to its name. The food is always delicious, comforting, and consistently well‑made. Every time we visit, my partner goes straight for their favorites: the house special oil noodles, the fried fish, and the braised beef soup. The restaurant itself is peaceful, welcoming, and spotless. The dining area is always clean, and even the restrooms are well‑maintained, which says a lot about how much care the family puts into running this place. The food is consistent, the service is consistent, and you can feel the pride behind every plate. It's family‑owned, and you can taste the love in the cooking. Support your local businesses!! Tasty Xi'an has become one of our go‑to spots, and it never disappoints.

    Helen D.

    Had this place saved in case we'd be in the area & so glad that we did. It's a small place in a strip mall. Kind like a mom & pop which usually tends to be a hidden gem & this sure was. We ordered the beef noodle soup with thin noodles in a rich, flavorful broth, generous chunks of tender beef topped off with bok choy & cilantro which added the perfect freshness. The noodles were a perfect chew. We also ordered the tofu braised in soy sauce...loved the gravy which we took home to use it for loco moco. The Shanghai House sweet sour ribs was why we chose to come here because we love this Shanghai style better than the traditional American version. We thoroughly enjoyed this little spot & plan to come back

    19. Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup
    Anna H.

    Xi an food is definitely different from mainstream Chinese food so even more reason to try it. We ordered from the specialty section of the menu: the lamb in pita, the hot oil egg and tomato biang biang noodles, the lamb with pita soup and tofu skin skewers. The two soup noodles bowls were huge, delicious and unique! The noodles are big and chewy and I love the lamb flavor! The pita is not your typical Bao or pita so try it! The sauce on the skewers was delightful. If you can't handle spicy, ask for mild. Like the decor as it explains where xi an food came from. On a Saturday night, most tables were taken. Great service and price! So glad we got to try it.

    Authentic beef noodle soup. Mom & Pop restaurant. Great service. Highly recommended

    Food is good and authentic. We had the lamb noodle soup and braised beef noodle soup. Taste good . This is second time we are here. Very consistent flavor.

    28. Special Hot Oil Noodle
    Airi G.

    The basin lamb of mutton pita bread soup is now easily one of my top 3 comfort soups of all time. I was told the Chinese name is "mien ge da xian" which is loosely translated to dough drop soup. This makes a lot more sense because by no means do the little cubes resemble pita bread. The texture of the dough is so bouncy and chewy and the broth is so flavorful but in a light, refreshing way. It also comes with a spicy garlic sauce to spruce up the flavor if ever needed by I thoroughly enjoyed it on its own. There wasn't that much lamb meat as I had hoped, but the flavor compensated for it.

    Great spot for Xi'an food. Very good value for what you're paying. Recommend coming with 2-4 ppl so you can order different dishes to share.

    22. Special Hot Oil Noodle with Tomato & Egg
    Anna C.

    Great option for Xi'an food in the area. We came at 1PM on Saturday and didn't need to wait before we were seated. The handmade biang biang noodles had a great chew and the rou jia mou was bursting with the meat filling. Great portion for the prices and service was fast.

    The food is yummy, we ordered and it came out very fast. The inside of the store is open and minimalist.

    We've been exploring our new neighborhood recently and stumbled upon this hidden gem a few minutes…read moreaway from us. We were craving siomai and Peking duck for dinner. Fortunately, they serve both. We both love siomai, duck, and crispy salted squid so we ordered the trio. The siomai was fresh. Tasted as if it was just off a lunch cart. It's delicious and the serving size is quite generous. The price is unbeatable too. We really enjoyed its balanced taste. Sometimes, siomai can be a bit bland but this was packed with flavor. The Peking Duck was great too. Reminded us of our time in Hong Kong. Less oily but still delicious. The buns were great too. We both enjoyed every bite. The sauce was excellent too. It had sweetness to it from the pineapple sauce. The salted crispy squid is balanced. Salty yet a bit sweet. It's definitely more of the indulgent side of things. Best paired with rice. We skip the carbs that night, but we'll definitely order this again paired with something else. The service here is great. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. It doesn't feel like rushed service. Ambiance here feels like your typical Chinese restaurant. It's clean and you can tell it has aged over time. You're here for the good food though, not the aesthetics. This will definitely be our local go to. We genuinely enjoyed the food and can't wait to explore more of the menu during our next visit.

    My family has been here a few times, but I can't remember if I've ever been to this restaurant…read morebefore. Nevertheless, I was really hungry and looked forward to eating good Chinese dishes. I thought the food was adequate but not as good as dishes from other Chinese restaurants around the area. We got the chicken chow mein, fish fillet with sweet corn, and honey walnut shrimp. Steamed rice is available but for an additional charge. The staff made themselves easily visible and offered to take our order almost immediately. The chicken chow mein arrived lastly. We noticed this because we were finishing our two other dishes. The ambience was nice, but I noticed that our plastic tablecloth was a little tattered. The fish fillet with sweet corn came breaded. With sweet and savory flavor from the corn, it was good. It might've been better if the fish were not breaded. The flavor from the honey walnut shrimp was adequate, but I've tasted better elsewhere. My hunch infers that the shrimp quality could've been higher. The chicken chow mein's flavor was decent, but I've tasted better slurry from other Chinese restaurants. Our meal came with complimentary jasmine tea, which was quite strong and flavorful.

All of the items I've tried so far are great but I really enjoy dan dan noodles and the one here is amazing! It has a really nice, addicting heat to it. Another favorite are the beef rolls. It wasn't dry and there was a right amount of spread. The millet porridge surprised me (I'm used to white rice congee) - it was $1.99 and so comforting and cozy. It would probably be amazing to have when you're feeling under the weather. Also, when you order takeout, they line the container with foil for some items; it's a nice "not cheaping" out detail. In the age of trendy tiktok spots and consumerist gimmicks, it's refreshing to eat at a local mom and pop shop. Flavor Noodle House is run by an older couple, the kind woman is the server and her husband is the cook. (Note that she is currently recovering from an injury so please give grace and have patience when eating in.) I remember the first time I came here, I was moved by how nice service was. You can even feel the joy and kindheartedness through the phone when you're calling in to place an order. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, but good hospitality goes a long way. I will definitely be back!

    After trying multiple roast duck delis, I can confidently say Duck Palace is one of those places…read morethat quietly delivers exactly what you want--no gimmicks, just consistently well-executed classics this far east of SGV Let's start with what you're here for: the roast duck. This is where Duck Palace really earns its name. The skin hits that ideal balance--lightly crisp with a slight lacquered sheen--while the meat underneath stays juicy and flavorful without being overly fatty. It's not trying to be trendy or reinvent anything; it's just done right. The seasoning leans traditional Cantonese--savory, slightly sweet, and aromatic without being heavy-handed. I did not try the supporting dishes, but they had a good variety outside the roast duck. This is where you can tell whether a place is a one-hit wonder or a true kitchen. They had BBQ combo plates, stir-fried dishes, and various sides. Service here is efficient, is part of the charm. You're coming for good food, done well. Best to call in to reserve a duck ahead of time because they will sell out by mid-afternoon. The space itself is clean and straightforward--more casual than upscale--but comfortable enough for both quick meals and relaxed family meals. What I appreciate most about Duck Palace is the consistency. The price is reasonable for what you are paying for and the duck combo meal is enough to feed 2-3 people. Pro tips: - Go earlier in the day if you want the freshest roast selections. - Takeout holds up surprisingly well (the duck skin still has some integrity if you don't let it sit too long). - Great option when you want authentic flavors without driving deeper into the valley. - Discount for paying in cash Bottom line: If you're in Diamond Bar and craving authentic Cantonese roast meats, Duck Palace is a reliable go-to. It may not be flashy, but it delivers where it counts--and sometimes, that's exactly what you want.

    Man this place is good. The duck tastes just like the ones in Hong Kong. I didn't get any of that…read more"duck taste", which is amazing. Most duck places in SGV still have the gamey taste of duck. My friend got the salted chicken, and that was delicious too. Their sets come with cold side dishes and rice.

Keep that in mind if you have to go somewhere else after.
