I loved both the dishes we got - the wife's noodle and hand pulled house special. The wife's noodle's beef was super tender. Our favorite though was the hand pulled. It is on the oily side which many have mentioned but the pickled bamboo helps cut through that and is very needed.

I ordered the Laoxi Beef Noodle soup and thought it was a very solid bowl of beef noodles! The beef was flavorful and was springy without being very tough or hard to chew. The noodles had a nice chew to them as well and the soup was flavorful. Overall, I think this place makes for a very solid bowl of Taiwanese beef noodle soup in comparison to Din Tai Fung or other shops. I will be back to try the other items soon.

A big plus for the convenient location, easy to find and comfortable to stop by even without planning. I liked that the kitchen is open - you can see how the food is prepared, and it's clearly clean and well-maintained. That builds trust in the place. The food and menu are solid overall, with a good variety and quality at a good level. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Overall, a good spot I'd come back to.

The staff was efficient, the place was clean, and the price wasn't too expensive. Cons: the food just wasn't amazing. It's not something I would recommend to friends or family. The spicy beef noodle soup lacked flavor and the beef wasn't tender at all. The qinghao cold noodles were better but I wouldn't come back here just for that. Overall, it was a bit disappointing flavor wise.

The lady at the cashier was so sweet and friendly. She patiently introduced me to their menu and food, made recommendations. I'm very pleased by her customer service. It is a small to medium restaurant, nice and clean throughout. Very welcoming like a family restaurant. It was a to-go order and they packed the food pretty well so the noodles don't get soggy. The flavor is so rich with layers, beef is braised so tender and the portion is super generous. My family and I enjoyed everything very much. I can't wait to go back and try more.

The beef pieces were tender as well, no tough pieces at all, which is always nice. The cold noodle was a surprise for us. It's hard to find good sesame cold noodles and Xiang Ji has one of the better ones we've tried. Also got the Braised Combo Plate, which came with egg, seaweed, bean curd, and peanuts. Everything was good but still not a fan of soft peanuts! A lot of people had a bowl of beef noodle along with dumplings, but we were too full to try the dumplings. Definitely want to try next time!

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.

This is our go to noodle spot…read more My family and I really appreciate this location. They give great hospitality and the food is good every time. Never misses a beat. The food is good and tastes clean. We've pretty much ate everything on the menu like a TRUE fatty. We like the chicken wings app that has this nice curry with a hint of spicy rub and the side sauce gives this good balance of some kind of sweet chili ketchup? Our go to is the beef noodle or the short rib noodle (same same but different) and the tomato egg noodle. The tomato egg noodle gives the childhood nostalgia of the Chinese egg tomato dish that I'm sure majority of Chinese family makes for dinner. The noodles are def fresh every time. More recently we were adventurous and got the build your own stir fried noodles and yum. I highly recommend this chain.

Extremely flavorful and the noodles had an amazing bounce to them. I'll definitely be back to try new items. I also got the pumpkin cake and that was delicious too. A bit oily since it's fried but yummy.

Popcorn Chicken was excellent and portion was very generous for under $10. My wife described it as more like a cross between chicken karaage and popcorn chicken. It had good amount of seasoning without being spicy or overpowering, and tasted fresh. Beef Noodle Soup had good broth without any MSG attack. This dish can be upgraded to spicy soup if desired. You also have the option of going with flat rice noodle, round rice noodle, or ramen noodle.
