    Authentic Xi'an food. They just changed their menu from last year i feel like the new menu is better. A lot of the sauce have those salty and sour taste so u wont get sick of it easily. My favorite were the noodles and the fried bun with green onion. Funny enough, the chef actually came up with the fried bun snacks so it wasn't even a real dish LOL but i love it! As for the dumplings, they are SO big and the soup is slightly acidic so u dont need a side of soy sauce / vinegar. Portion is very generous and the workers are sooo friendly. Parking is in the back shared with 85 degree bakery

    Wow, this is my first time trying Xi'an cuisine--and it was surprisingly delicious! The sesame sauce was so fragrant, and the very first bite was amazing. The youpo noodles had such a great chewy texture too. If you like noodle dishes, this is definitely worth trying. I personally don't eat very spicy food, so I probably couldn't fully experience the flavors--but I feel like it would taste even better if you can handle spice The restaurant is nice and clean, very spacious with high ceilings, plenty of parking in the back the waiter is really friendly and nice~ I would definitely come back

    Natalia J.

    This spot is going to be seeing a lot more of me now that I've tried their liang pi. I've been once before my most recent visit last week, but they were out of the liang pi during dinnertime so we settled for some of their dry noodle dishes (also very good) but nothing compared to the liang pi. This is a dish I was craving for sooooo long and this did exactly what I hoped it would. I would opt not to get both the peanut cold noodles and liang pi because they're identical but the peanut one was a little more heavy (not a huge fan) and I'd recommend opting for the liang pi without the braised beef (also a little heavy and too salty). A perfect refreshing summer combo is the smashed cucumber and the liang pi - you cannot go wrong.

    First of all, nice service! Love that they got a parking lot right behind. The portion is huge here. The fried noodle is so great. Cumin lamb is tasty. Beef burger (肉夹馍) is good size but not as flavorful. Price is very fair and the restaurant is very clean.

    Great service, easy parking in structure, overall great experience every time I've been. Get the youpo noodle in special beef sauce. It's a flavor bomb and the noodles are super chewy. The cold noodle in sesame sauce with beef comes in at a close second. Perfect for a hot day, it's super refreshing and they don't skimp out on the beef. Dumplings were delicious as well. Never had it in vinegar sauce but I actually quite like it since you can just eat it directly without dipping in anything. Their beef skewers were also great. Honestly don't have much to critique on. I will probably become a regular.

    My first time at this restaurant. My group and I ordered the following items (and my ratings for each:) 1) Beef sandwich: 3/5. A good amount of meat inside a Xian style flatbread. Taste was okay, but I think the flatbread is a bit doughy. 2) beef skewers: 4/5. Good taste 3) beef wrap: 3/5. Taste average. I have had better. Not enough meat. 4) sesame sauce cold noodle: 4/5. Good taste 5) braised beef brisket noodle soup: 3/5. Taste average. I've had better. The broth could be more flavorful. 6) Youpo noodles with braised beef brisket, beef paste, fried eggs and tomatoes: 4/5. Good taste Overall, we enjoyed the meal even though not everything was as delicious as we would have liked. Service staff were friendly and efficient. We would come back to try other dishes.

    I've been here alone and with a friend, and each time the food is incredible. Also, the woman server is very helpful because I only come after work when everything looks delicious; she helps me decide.

    Walking in there was already a language barrier, but that is totally okay and understandable. There were only a few tables occupied and it still took our server 10-15 minutes to greet us and take our order. The beef hamburger and wrap were the same meat. It tasted exactly like corned beef but extra greasy. Oil and grease was dripping out of our food and down my hands. Not my cup of tea.

    Their food is genuinely SO good! Best Xian food of all of sgv. Their burgers are to die for and they r packed packed packed with meat. Staffs were friendly and welcoming - mom and pop hospitality. We recommended so many friends and families to try this place already. Def will be back!

    Youpo Noodles with Beef Paste
    Bella S.

    Located in the same plaza as 85 degree bakery. Parking is in the back of the structure. Service was pretty good; prompt and friendly. Food came out relatively quickly. 1. Marinated Beef Sandwich/Rao Jia Mo (4.5/5) Tender, marinated beef stuffed in their famous crispy, baked flatbread. The beef was perfectly seasoned and had a nice smokiness to it. 2. Cumin Lamb Sandwich/Rao Jia Mo (3.5/5) Spicy cumin lamb stuffed in their crispy, baked flatbread. The lamb was not too gamey and the cumin flavor was nice, but it was a bit masked by the spiciness, which just numbs your tongue and mouth. 3. Sesame Sauce Cold Skin Noodle (3/5) Cold wheat flour noodles tossed in sesame sauce, cucumber and bean sprouts. This is a refreshing dish to eat during a hot summer day. The noodles are chewy and fresh and the cucumber slices add a crunch factor. Not bad, but definitely, not the best I have had. I personally feel the sesame sauce is a bit too watered down, so it didn't stick to the noodles very well. 4. Xi'an-style Flatbread (5/5) You can tell they make this in-house and it's freshly baked. The outside is nice and crispy while the inside is nice and doughy. It has a very nostalgic, fragrant, dough-flavor. 5. Youpo Noodles with Special Beef Paste (3.5/5) The hand-pulled noodles were QQ, but the sauce was lackluster. They were a bit skimpy on the beef paste, which made the dish feel under-seasoned. Not worth $16 IMHO 6. Pickled Beef Shank (5/5) Super tender, smoky beef that is dry marinated. Highly recommend getting this appetizer 7. Smashed Cucumber Salad (4/5) The cucumber was fresh, crunchy, and refreshing. The seasoning did not stand out though; needs a bit more chili sauce and garlic. 8. Sauce Mixed Radish (1/5) YUCK - over marinated and super duper salty. I am someone who loves savory foods and craves salt all the time; so for me to say this is too salty, it's all the way too salty. If you have high blood pressure, definitely stay clear of this 9. Lamb Skewers (2/5) The lamb was good, but the cumin salt they put on it was also too salty 10. Imperial Mirror Cake (2.5/5) It's supposed to be a traditional Xi'an Muslim dessert made from glutinous rice and shaped like a mirror. I think it is infused with red bean and brown sugar. Overall, it was very dense and sticky + not a lot of flavor. Would not get this again. 11. Cold Wu Mei Drink (5/5) Freshly in-house made, prune juice. It's super refreshing and had a good balance of sweetness and tartness. Pairs well with the Xi'an-style meal.

    Came here for dinner. Portion sizes were massive and the food was tasty and the price is good. Will be back if I'm back in the area. Massive parking structure part of the plaza. Apparently this place is also Halal!

He patiently guided me through the vast selection of items on the menu and kindly answered all of my questions. It was only right that I ordered Theo's favorite: Jim's Breakfast Burrito. I watched as he swiftly and deliberately entered in my order, wasting no time selecting the combinations of buttons on the screen. If I were to describe my experience at Jim's with one word, without a doubt it would be "reassurance." When I took a seat facing the counter, I saw other customers who ordered after me receive their food as I continued to wait. At first, I felt uneasy. Did they forget about my order? Just as I was ready to ask about the status of my breakfast burrito, the young soul called me up to ask about my choice of salsa. Next to him was my burrito, carefully wrapped in the finest parchment. I gave my final "Thank you's" and "Goodbye's" as I departed an experience I will never forget. It was an absolute honor being served by Theo. This gentleman has a very bright future ahead of him! Will definitely become a frequent customer here at Jim's!

    Come for the food, but LOOK AT THIS PLACE…read more Okay, I have to start with the atmosphere because this place is absolutely STUNNING. The second you walk in, there is so much to look at. The woodwork, the hanging wooden plaques, the Japanese-inspired décor, the trees throughout the restaurant, the lighting, and especially the little honeycomb-style booths built into the walls. It almost feels like you've stepped into this little Japanese village rather than just another restaurant. Whoever designed this place understood the assignment. I went during the week, so thankfully it wasn't very crowded, and my friend and I were able to sit upstairs in one of the honeycomb booths. If one is available, DO IT. It made the whole experience that much more fun, and you get such a cool view of the restaurant from up there. Now, FOOD. I ordered the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice with curry sauce, which comes with chicken fried rice wrapped in that beautiful fluffy omelet, topped with pork tonkatsu and curry. When they bring it out, they actually ask if you'd like to record the presentation before they cut/open the egg--which, obviously, YES. It's one of those little touches that turns ordering food into an actual experience. And it was BOMB. The egg was fluffy, the pork tonkatsu had that crispy texture, and everything worked really well with the fried rice and curry. The curry itself isn't particularly spicy, so if you're someone who doesn't tolerate much heat, don't let the word curry scare you. It had plenty of flavor without being hot. Personally, I like my food SPICY spicy, so I added some extra spice to mine, but that's completely personal preference. I also ordered the Thai iced tea, and that was delicious--fresh, creamy, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted with the meal. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the food, but I think the atmosphere is what pushed the experience over the top for me. The restaurant itself is just SO COOL. There are restaurants where you eat, leave, and that's it--and then there are places where you're looking around the entire time because you keep noticing another little detail. KYURAMEN was definitely the latter. Good food + Thai tea + an omurice presentation + sitting inside a freaking honeycomb booth overlooking this gorgeous restaurant? Yeah. I'm coming back. Tip: If you have the option to sit in one of the elevated honeycomb booths, absolutely take it. It makes the experience.

Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. When we asked for recommendations, he pointed us in the right direction.

The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The Yakitori Platter was a great choice because it let us sample a variety of grilled proteins, and even the grilled zucchini was incredibly delicious. The presentation of the Tonkatsu Omurice was impressive, and the curry sauce was well-balanced with just the right amount of spice to complement the crispy tonkatsu. Overall, we had a great dining experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Until next time, enjoy!

Other then that, I'd recommend using the drive-thru instead of dining in. It's way faster, and you won't have to deal with the cleanliness and long waits inside.

We started off with drinks, girl next door; vodka, elderflower and blackberries, a mezcal drink which I can't recall but both drinks were good! For starters we ordered the bacon wrapped dates with bleu and mascarpone cheese and tempura green beans. Our entrees for the evening were the poblano burger with side salad and the chicken breast with mushroom risotto and broccolini. There was no room for desert otherwise I would've gone with the bread pudding. This is definitely a must try if in the Monrovia area.
