Two words - Daniel and noodles !! Handmade that is ... Usually you find these kind of places on the west coast and I normally seek assistance with understanding the menu. Daniel made it so easy tonight for my husband and I . We've always said we wanted to try it - our 2026 is about doing it , not talking about it . He recommended the XiXia stirred noodle with beef and mentioned they make their own soy for it . I wanted to try the hot pot noodles . We got to choose wide or thin noodles (they're fresh !!). We got wide for the stirred and thin for the hot pot . We also ordered the pork , shrimp and chive dumplings . First of all - the handmade dumplings . DAng . I don't think I'll ever get BIBIGO again with this place so close . Melt in your mouth delicious . and they were large . We totally loved both noodle dishes . Stirred noodles were the hit - the sauce is homemade and they were wonderfully tender and dang that homemade garlic/soy sauce !! They should bottle it . The hot pot noodles were awesome . Like a lo mein but not even close because the noodles are handmade . And can we talk about the beef ? Not chewy at all . Lots of Chinese beef dishes have chew to them . This was melt in your mouth tender . We loved both love Thai food and my husband said this blows Thai paradise away( noodle dishes ) . I agree . Handmade noodles will always win . We'll definitely be back . And with family/ employees like Daniel , XiXia is sure to win and gain so many more customers . He is awesome !!!! read more

A local standout. I had lunch without a reservation with my family and a friend's family, and they handled our group well with two tables side by side with a space in between which made it easy to move around. We ordered a bunch of soupy pork buns (XLB)- hands down the favorite for the kids. They took a little longer to come out but everything else was quick. I got the Spicy Beef Stew Noodle with wide handmade noodles and baby bok choy. The Szechuan peppercorn spice hit just right-- tingly and balanced. The noodles were bouncy with a perfect bite, the bone broth was rich, and there was plenty of meat (a few pieces a bit tough, but still solid overall). Hubs got the Curry Chicken lunch special and cleaned his plate. Service was great. They default to forks, so ask for chopsticks and soup spoons if you prefer them. Ordering is through a tablet, which keeps things moving and you pay at the counter. Everyone left full and happy, which is really all you need to know. NOTES/TIPS: **Wheelchair-accessible. Easy parking in shared plaza lot. **Clean bathrooms. **Bonus: their takeout containers are high quality and reusable. read more

Xi Xia Chinese Cuisine - Spicy Beef Noodle Stew - Chinese Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

I was pleasantly surprised with the service, food quality and authenticity of the dishes. We ordered the spicy beef noodles, stewed pork rice, and dumplings and everything was phenomenal. The noodles were handmade with the perfect consistency and the stewed pork was perfectly tender. Our food also arrived very quickly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Chinese food. Hope they open more locations soon! read more

Xi Xia Chinese Cuisine - Chinese Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

Great food and service like the original location, we greatly enjoyed the many dishes we tried, including spicy beef stew, the beef dry noodles, garlic Bok choy, salt and pepper chicken, and orange chicken. But for folks that have been to the other location, you may want to double check that they have your favorite dish as my husband found they were missing his favorite stew and lamb dishes. This one did have some of the typical American style Chinese dishes, and the orange chicken was delicious. read more

Tucked between a Cold Stone and a kid's salon, XIXIA isn't a place you'd expect to find standout Chinese food -- but it quietly delivers. The inside is calm, clean, and low-key. I was greeted right away, told to sit anywhere, and brought a cold glass of water almost immediately. Service was kind, patient, and not pushy. They use a tablet to order -- the layout is simple, with photos for every dish. A printed menu would've helped with planning, but it's easy enough to navigate on the spot. I ordered: * Yibin Fire Noodles (+ fried egg) * Salt & Pepper Chicken The noodles had a mild kick and real depth -- garlic, preserved veg, and a smoky richness that tasted more authentic than expected for a strip mall spot. The fried egg was overcooked and unseasoned, but once I added salt and pepper, it held its own. The salt & pepper chicken was the standout. Fresh, juicy (felt like thigh meat), lightly crispy, and well-seasoned. It came with sweet & sour sauce in a silicone-lidded container I weirdly loved -- clean and easy to use. Solid 3.5 stars with clear potential to go up. XIXIA isn't flashy, but it's flavorful. If you're nearby or craving something more grounded than trendy, it's worth the stop. read more

Stopped in for the first time. It is a big improvement from the previous Chinese restaurant that occupied this space. Service is good and all staff was friendly. I got their Curry Chicken Over Rice and it was flavorful along with a nice presentation. I do feel it was a little pricey for portion size, however. They have an array of soups/noodles that I would like try. Looking forward to trying more items. read more

I am so glad this location came to Picktown! Love the food and the owner is a great host! I've tried several of the noodle dishes and each are top notch! It's hard to not order the same thing each time! Tho the place is small - it does a great carryout business. Stop by and try one of the noodle dishes-if you are a "pasta" lover you'll love this place!! read more

Another extremely average tasting meal. Chicken dry with barely 3 oz of protein, egg rolls still laden with grease. Went for takeout at my family's insistence, have reviewed here before and status of anything other than noodles remains unchanged. Prompt order preparation shows they care about service but not in food preparation and taste, extremely average tasting food. Cost of this dinner makes it a rather expensive mistake. read more

Xi Xia Chinese Cuisine - Receipt for proof and value for the dollar! - Chinese Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

I've been to Xi Xia's Henderson Road (original) location; I'm incredibly happy to see a family owned business set up shop in Pickerington - and it's NOT a pizza joint! Dine-in, the gentleman brought me plate-utensils and a touch-pad, you order via the pad, can pay when you're done; also can make additions/extras and/or subtractions to your dish; also nice if you want to add on to your meal while in the middle of eating. I got the Curry Chicken, comes with rice and a fried egg and the Coconut Lava Custard Buns. Absolutely delish! Their curry dish is my main go-to at their first Kenny Rd. location, and it was just as good here. A great amount of protein, the sauce was really good; any dish that comes with a fried egg always gets my attention. These were the most authentic custard balls I've ever had. The center is actually liquid from the yolk, which was a first for me. They're not as sweet as others I've tried, and I loved this. They are sweet, don't get me wrong, but they obviously don't rely on pure sweetness to draw in tastebuds. Highly recommend you try them. The owner Daniel came out to check on my meal; great personality! Chatted for a few, he described their process to picking Pickerington, and he's totally right: Henderson Rd/Dublin are already represented well, same for Polaris area; that leaves Grove City and Pickerington, and this suburb doesn't have authentic Chinese/noodle cuisine represented at all. Yes, the take/home plastic containers are so cool and unique here too! I've found my new local spot when I'm craving Chinese and don't feel like driving to the northwest part of town. read more

Food is really authentic and delicious. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and let me tell you, it was on point. The only thing I'd like it to be would be more spicy. Besides that point, it was delicious and I will definitely eat here again. read more

Everything! A wide variety of milks, teas . Boba, fruit drinks Beef wide noodles Hot and sour soup Steamed pork dumplings Spicy dry hot pot Wonderful food and service read more

So, I knew this location as Mr. O's but it's changed. I ordered the fried rice and an egg roll. The egg roll was delicious and tasted fresh! The oil was clean & it wasn't oily or greasy! The chicken fried rice was light, fluffy & delicious. I firhit yo ask for soy sauce but I got sweet & sour, homemade chili oil which wasn't very spicy & the spicy mustard. My food was under $15 & there's enough fried rice for pretty much two different meals! I will certainly be back & try the noodles@ read more

What an incredible addition to our community! We stopped by to try Xi Xia, as we were excited to have a new addition to the food offerings in Pickerington. We were greeted warmly and given such thoughtful service throughout. Daniel (one of the owners, I believe) provided such a friendly and engaging experience. He talked to us about our preferences and gave wonderful suggestions for our meal. We had a spicy beef noodle soup, garlic noodles with incredibly tender thinly-sliced beef, and crab soup dumplings. Each bite was packed with such depth of flavor, clearly house-made recipes. The hand cut noodles were absolutely next-level. The perfect texture and flavor. We can't wait to return many more times to work through all of the interesting menu items. It will be our top takeout spot for sure, but we really enjoyed eating in as well - we are so glad that they brought this gem to our community! read more

The needle in the haystack of franchise food valley of mediocrity. This is one of best culinary experiences in the area. It surprises you because most places are void of creativity. Here they are creating a high level of experiences. I want to try every dish on the menu!!! The customer service helped create an authentic community vibe. That's hard to find with copy and paste food establishments. It's a place that you want to hang out and chill for a bit, and enjoy the top quality creations. Oh and Dahmn... fresh made noodles!!!! Hell yeah! Spice levels not dumbed down.. F' yeah!!!! read more

I really wanted to like this place since there are not many good Chinese restaurants on the east side of town. There were 3 of us. You order at a table side kiosk that has pictures and if you click on the dish you get details. It was really annoying to scroll up scroll down click here click there. I prefer to see a menu all at once not on a tiny screen where I have to keep scrolling back and forth to narrow down my choice. Order is placed on the kiosk. They definitely don't understand that when people dine together they want to eat at the same time. Mine came out so I started eating. About 7-8 minutes later my son's came out and minutes later my husband's came out. I think they can only cook one thing at a time. I really don't remember the names of the dishes. My description did not say that it would be served cold so I did not eat it all since it wasn't good. If it had been steaming hot it would have been ok. I took one look at my son's dish and pretty and could barely look at. Like me he pulled out the meat ate a few noodles but couldn't bring himself to eat it . My husband didn't mind his - something breaded and fried with chicken but terribly spicy. Our server saw barely eaten food but didn't even care to ask if something was wrong. Glad we gave it a try but will not be back. read more

Ordered to the house with grub hub, best Chinese noodles I've had in a very long time. I tried both the wide noodles and the thin noodles. Both were great but I highly recommend the thin noodles, the texture and bounce was perfect. I ordered the spicy noodle soup and the Szechuan DanDan noodles. Both were fantastic. Order, if you got this far just order it! read more

Update from previous review: So, besides the flies flying around, I was charged extra for egg on my dish. The egg itself was cold and premade is my thought. In fact, I have a feeling a big batch of everything is premade and just microwaved as the orders come thru. The to go containers are no longer the high quality cool ones, and on my last visit, I ordered a homemade soy milk thinking it said homemade milk tea with soy milk. I paid for it but only drank like 1/5th of it. Not a fan of just drinking milk with dinner. I got a pop and actual milk tea instead. When I left, one of the workers there who had to be bothered to clear the table instead of microwaving food, serving cold eggs, and watching his phone made a comment (not in English of course) about me not drinking the milk. Frankly I think they are just phoning it on these days. Grabbing cash and putting out inferior food and experience. I have not tried their noodles which are supposedly hand made and good for cold weather but I doubt I'll make any special trips like my last two subpar visits. The food tastes "good enough" but, that's not enough for me to keep coming back. read more

Our first time visiting and it didn't disappoint. Dined on a Saturday evening around 6pm and most tables were occupied, but we were able to snag a table next to the window. We tried a sampling of things that had caught our eye when reviewing the menu. Started with Salt & Pepper Chicken, an egg roll, order of crab rangoon, and to round out the sampling we selected the crab soup dumplings. The dumplings were so tasty and rangoons were good too. We really liked the s/p chicken and its seasoning. Then for our main dish, we shared the Spicy Stir with vermicelli and we added spicy beef. It had amazing flavor and plenty of heat but subtle. To wrap up our meal we ordered the coconut lava custard buns. Overall, a great meal and the food was delicious from start to our leftovers. read more

Xi Xia is finally opened! I saw the coming soon sign a few weeks ago, so I've been on the lookout for their grand opening. I've been to their first location on Kenny Rd before so I know the food is solid. My go-tos are the Szechuan Dan Dan noodle and the stewed pork over rice. They're so flavorful! The spicy beef noodle soup is actually pretty spicy so it's great if you can handle your spice (I get it with the flat noodle). I got it as takeout this time and their packaging is so cute and convenient! I usually dislike getting soup noodle as takeout because it's such a hassle sometime to put it together at home, but with this, you can just pour the soup bowl right into the noodle bowl. No mess. 10/10 would recommend! I'm so happy with this addition to Pickerington. read more

This chinese restaurant is rated 4.9 stars on google. I'm a huge fan of Chinese food and good reviews, so, of course, I had to try it. It's located next to Coldstone in a Plaza on Hill Rd. I was able to place my order from a kiosk with a very quick and convenient process. On that particular day, the employee told me that the food might be a little slow because they were low on staff, so my husband and I just ran an errand and came back. Xi Xia specializes in noodle dishes, and the noodles are handmade in house. I tried the house fried noodles that came with broccoli, snow peas, beef, chicken, and shrimp. The flavor was excellent. I'm usually a person who puts lots of soy sauce on my lo mein to add flavor, but this actually didn't need any. The meat was tender, and it came in a pretty cool container. I'll be back to try more menu items . read more

I'm not one to leave reviews, but I just finished my second takeout meal from Xi Xia and I'm incredibly impressed. The first time, I had their stir fry noodles with chicken- very fresh and flavorful. The next time, I had the Orange Chicken- and it truly was the best Orange Chicken I've ever had... it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Their takeout containers are also the best I've ever seen, and they help keep the food fresh. My husband was also very impressed with the food and the service when he went to pick it up. We will absolutely be returning customers! read more

The 5 star reviews of this place are definitely from Americans who think the food is supposed to taste like that. I was so excited for this delicious looking meal, but my entire night feels like it's ruined. That sounds dramatic, but what they gave me was so jaw-droppingly bad that it kind of makes me want to cry. My mom works so hard every day to give us good food every day, and I wish I could grab her money back from Mr. Bill Yu's grubby, piss-stained hands. We ordered delivery, and happily took the delicious smelling food from our drivers hands, eager to eat, right? I opened that blue tin and found stuck-together, thick noodles (asked for thin noodles, biggest damn noodles I have seen in my entire life) and around five small pieces of what I can only assume are red-tinted scraps of cloth. Those "spicy" meat pieces felt like if bacon was just the fat part, but way chewier and really, really sad to eat. The noodles were the same, flavorless and incredibly chewy. I don't know if I was supposed to add my own sauces, but I am 100% they would slide off and pool at the bottom of the tin. And that was the whole meal, save for two tiny pieces of bok choy. This was our friday delivery meal. Oh, hey, egg rolls are also missing. Kill me. read more

Let me tell you, I was absolutely thrilled to learn that Xi Xia had opened a second location so close to me! I previously lived close to the trifecta of Chilispot/Xi Xia/Tensuke and was pretty sad that they're a good 30 min drive from the new place. But now, one of them has come to me! They have some new dim sum type items here that they don't have at the original location such as soup dumplings and har gow, and they do appear to be made in house vs frozen! The noodles are just like the original location, and the staff is so friendly! This will definitely have a place in our takeout rotation, just like it did before we moved. read more

Food is not great. Ordering is confusing on a tablet. No condiments on table. Paid extra for fried rice but got dry yellow rice with no vegetables and a very old dried up hard cooked egg on top. Wife order a soup that was tasteless with little beef. Charged a service charge without notice. Very expensive for small proportions. read more

Absolutely amazing. What a great addition to our community. I've eaten here twice. The service is great, the food is amazing and made with care. THEY MAKE THEIR NOODLES IN HOUSE BY HAND!!! It's not your normal run of the mill Chinese food and it is great. They also make their own egg rolls in house, which are great. The restaurant isn't huge but it has plenty of seating. I imagine they'll need to expand very soon. I highly recommend visiting them and giving them a try. read more

First time and I am so in love with this place!!! The staff is very helpful, super friendly, and love to teach about Chinese culture. The food tastes home cooked, the portions are large, the presentation is instagramable. The soup dumplings are so good and flavorful, noodles are saucey and flavorful. The inside is clean, has great lighting, and well decorated. All in all i would recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Had both the noodles with beef and chicken with rice. The chicken was great but the beef and noodles did not have much flavor. I also noticed that the portion sizes were extremely small. We had our meals to go and their containers were about half way filled. I've never had this small portion at a Chinese restaurant before. The chicken was the General Tso read more

Can't understand the five star review. Was this the first place you went to after getting out of prison. Good place to go to, if you are on a diet. First the good. They had nice carry out container, that's it. Now the rest. In the container you'll get one cup of your traditional Chinese fare, general tso, sesame chicken, or chicken with broccoli with two cups of rice. Small portions for a large price. It would be one thing if it was the best, but it's not. Apparently in western china salt is a rare commodity. When have you ever had to add salt to Chinese food. The lamb with hand pulled noodles, Hard pass. The lamb, not lamb, tough, no flavor, inedible. The "broth" is just white. Think watered down low-fat milk, no flavor, no seasoning. The noodles almost as tough as the "lamb". Not chewy and delicious, almost raw and not worth the effort. Had Chinese food all across the city and country, never again. Would rather go hungry than waste money on this place read more

Wow. This place is awesome. Authentic food. And it tastes great. Was met at the door by the owner. He seated us and explained the menu to us down to the region it was from. Food was excellent.
