    Youpo Noodles with Beef Brisket
    Tina T.

    So happy to see more Xi'an food popping up around SGV, especially when it's done this well. As someone born and raised in Xi'an, the flavors here felt genuinely authentic, and I already know I'll be back. We ordered the Youpo Noodles with Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef Sandwich, and Cumin Lamb Sandwich. The marinated beef sandwich was the standout. They absolutely nailed the execution, from the tender, flavorful meat to the texture of the bread. I would come back for this alone. It immediately took me back to eating rou jia mo from a street cart while walking around Xi'an, which is about the highest compliment I can give it. The noodles were freshly handmade, wonderfully springy, and completely soaked with flavor. The beef brisket made them even more satisfying. The cumin lamb sandwich was the only item I felt slightly on the fence about. The filling was good, but I personally wanted a little more seasoning and a stronger cumin flavor. The interior is spacious and clean, service was fast and painless, and there is plenty of parking in the lot. Such a great addition to Arcadia and easily one of the better Xi'an spots I've tried in the area.

    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

    This was my first time trying Xi'an-style cuisine, and it turned out to be a great introduction. A friend suggested the spot after our pickleball game, and we ended up ordering a wide variety of dishes to share: shrimp fried rice, beef dumplings, lamb and beef skewers, smashed cucumbers, garlic bok choy, wide hand-pulled noodles with a mix of meats, and a large chicken and potato dish, among others. Overall, most of the dishes were solid. The only one I could have skipped was the chicken and potato dish...it just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I think this was the dish that we took leftovers since everyone else also felt a similar way regarding that dish. The skewers were well-cooked, but the cumin flavor was a bit overpowering for my taste, and it lingered longer than I would've liked. With that said, there were definitely some highlights. I really loved the shrimp fried rice and the beef dumplings, but my favorite was the wide noodle dish with mixed meats. It was incredibly flavorful and hit all the right notes. I actually ordered it after noticing another table enjoying the same dish. Honestly, their reactions said everything and it absolutely lived up to the expectation. The owner was warm and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. The restaurant itself is very clean, with bright lighting and a modern aesthetic that makes it feel inviting. Parking is also convenient, with plenty of space available in the back garage. All in all, it's a spot I'd recommend for anyone looking to try authentic flavors from the Xi'an region.

    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

    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.

    Dumplings in vinegar sauce
    Irene B.

    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.

    9.Braised Beef Brisket Noodles-牛腩面
    Maria L.

    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.

    This is truly one of those places that keeps you coming back again and again. The kind of restaurant you still crave and can't wait to revisit. 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.

    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.

    Lesley Morena A.

    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.

    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.

    Menu ! Finally Arcadia have something good to eat

My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.

Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out.

We got to sit in one of the honeycombs on the wall which I definitely recommend for a date. Everything was so delicious with the exception of the spicy ramen, the chili oil was excessive and did not help incorporate spice into the ramen. We did not finish that entree. However the omurice was perfectly soft and pillowy, and we asked for original dressing sauce. The server was so nice and let me record a video as he served the dish! The drinks were very refreshing and the popcorn chicken was a great start to the meal. At the end, our favorite dessert was the matcha pudding.
