This is probably my favorite Xi An food in the bay area. When I were having dinner with my friend, I suddenly found another friend was waiting for her take away and she was born in Xi An! The food is authentic and of high quality. The noodles are hand made. Highly recommend this place ;) read more

Xian Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

My personal favorite Chinese noodle place in the east bay/south bay area. I visit this place almost every month. Qishan Noodles with Ground Pork and Cold Noodles (Liang Pi) are my go-to orders. Qishan Noodles are flavorful with decent kicks of spice and sourness (from Chinese black vinegar). Liang Pi is also pretty good. I wish they could be more generous about the fresh cucumber and add a little smashed dried peanuts. For someone who does not like numbness from the peppercorns, I like its chilly oil. It does not taste super spice, but definitely adds a layer of flavor. There is always a waiting line even during the none-peak hours. If you don't like the northern style of Chinese noodles, you probably will not enjoy it as much as I do. Regard to the customer services, I am okay with the minimum attention as long as I get the tasty authentic food. If you have a mandarin speaker in your group, your dining experience will be better than your expectation. Solid 4.5 stars. Deducting half star due to the cash only payment method. read more

This is a fairly new restaurant in the Ranch 99 shopping complex. The inside is clean. Both booths and regular tables are available. We came by on a Tuesday evening so it was not too busy. Service is friendly although not very attentive. You are given an ipad to put in your order. I am not a big fan of this system. The food was surprisingly good. I plan to come back to try out more items from the menu. What we ordered: - Eggplants with pork and garlic: my favorite. Pork, garlic, eggplant were piled separately on the same plate. The server mixed the whole thing at our table. YUMMY! - Stir fried pea sprout: OK, on the tough side - Fish fillet (B2 on menu): good, portion size is huge read more

Ordered the Chili Oil Noodles w/ vegetables & pork- the flavor and texture of the noodles were great. The dish tasted really authentic and perfectly fulfilled my cravings. I ordered takeout and it was ready upon arrival so picking up was smooth and easy. Would definitely come back to try some more dishes! read more

Food is really oily, service is not good, spend those mount money felt not worth, I will definitely not be back!

Really horrible food and service... Even after they re-opened from being force closed? We had the cold xi'an LiangPi (rice noodles?), which was really oily and not as flavorful as some of the other options. For example, QQ Noodles / San Hao La Mian is a lot better at it. Lamb Pao Mo was salty and thick, the glass noodles are a little too brittle. It tasted fine at the time, but we were so thirsty that entire afternoon even after drinking water nonstop... Service is as bad as anyone else finds it to be. I'm not sure why they hate their customers? Conclusion: Food has too much MSG, service comes from your nemesis, fun experience read more

We stopped by since we wanted some lamb soup. It was ok. The lamb was good though. This is the place if you want some Xi'an food. However don't expect it to be very clean and comfortable. read more

The best Xi'an restaurant, a variety of northwestern pasta, Liangpi, Mianpian, and so on, are all great. People may appreciate the flavor, or just try something different here. Rough lasagna, genuine chicken are not the same as elsewhere. Just eat it. Talk about it is not the style of that area. read more

Suck ass service. Wait 1 hour for 2 noodles while another table came in only about 10 mins and got 4 noddles already.

Their service is really slow, thought they forgot our order since we got our last order right before we were about to leave. They also mixed up our order so had to wait a while for our 2nd order. Food was alright, the beef bun was really hard and the beef wasn't that interesting tasting. I got the Liang pi and the sour dumplings which was quite oily. I would only come here once to try their unique flavors but not sure I would come back since prices aren't that great for the quality and service you receive. read more

Only thing here worth trying was the lamb stewed noodles. Everything else was too oily and fatty. read more

First time here. My prediction. Is that this restaurant will not be around for long. The dishes are cater mostly for ancient taste buds. If they some key changes it may survive! "The beef soup is the only saving grace". Beef is tough. Sesame pancake is dry and tatsteless! It's my definition of dry and plain tasteless food! Service folks are young and inexperience! Good luck to the owner! read more

My husband and I love this place. We have been visited here so many times. If you tried Chinese northern food before and liked it, you must try here. Super authentic. A1,A7, B1 are almost a must every time. Remember the chef is good at all noodle dishes here. If you want to order fried greens, desert which are not typical for Xian, you should have right expectations. There is always a line except you either come in when they just open or late night. The three dishes we love, are good for takeout too. read more

Had the braised beef noodle soup, but 3 of the pieces of meat were spoiled. Spat out the first piece immediately and thought it was in my head. 2 other pieces had the same problem and the rancid meat taste lingered in the noodle soup bowl. Fast way to lose an appetite. Other reviewers mentioned the same thing with the meat, so something is going on with how the meat is stored in the kitchen. Noodles were decent, but if you value your stomach I'd recommend staying away from the meat. Service was as you would expect, nothing special. Napkins and utensils came out damp. Food ordering and delivery was disorganized. Had staff walking around holding dishes and asking customers if the dish they held belong to the table. Amidst the confusion, customers kept asking where their food was. What's the point in ordering when the kitchen seemed to be forgetting to make the dish. Intrigued by the number of people outside waiting for a table, the experience was quite disappointing. Not worth the time, hassle, and money. read more

For a Chinese person who has an extremely high tolerance for poor service, this place sure got me riled up, and left an extremely sour taste in my mouth (figuratively and literally) 1) food itself was okay - Terracotta Warrior in San Francisco has much better food for the same type of cuisine. HOWEVER the spicy beef stew noodle that I ordered had bits of RANCID meat in there that had obviously gone bad and should not be served to customers under any circumstance 2) my boyfriend's noodle dish never came when we were about to finish my bowl of noodles. When asked about the said missing noodles, we were told that it was being made. Then the waiter came and specifically told us in Chinese that we didn't need to pay for that bowl of noodles (不用付) and also gestured no to us. When the check came sure enough the bowl was tacked onto the bill. When inquired about his earlier statement, the waiter first asked if he was the one who said that (which he was), and then proceeded to tell us that we must have misheard, because he said the noodle bowl is more complex (比較複雜). Now, I may be better with English, but don't assume that my Chinese is bad enough that I didn't understand what you were saying and when you were gesturing no need at us. DON'T THINK YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE STUPID. I don't expect Chinese restaurants to give people discounts just because your food came late or they forgot your order, but if you said something I expect you to keep your word and not treat your customers as stupid. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. Good luck to your business, you'll need it. read more

This is going to be the closest Xi'an food I'll get from LA or China. I came here for some take out and ordered the spicy flat noodles and it was pretty tasty but definitely does not have the bouncy consistency or full bodied flavors I'm used to. Although its not the best, it'll have to do! read more

I have heard this place so many times and always see long line when I come to this area. Finally get chance to try it. The food is ok, not bad but doesn't worth waiting in the line for more than 30min Service is the main reason I gave one star. So hard to get attention of their waitress, no smile at all from anyone of them. When we come, they don't have 4 person table, so we are arranged at a 8 person table. Before we finish, two more people are arranged to our table. It's totally ok to share with others, but should you ask us first? So we told the waitress(owner?) we haven't finish. Instead of apologizing and explaining, he said it's impossible for you four take a 8 table. The way he said sounds like we are the one did the wrong thing. The way they treat customers really piss me off. I will never come back again. read more

I was pretty excited for a Xi'An style food but their service is absolutely horrible! First of all, either their Yelp page is wrong or the waitress is incorrect. Yelp shows they close at 930 but waitress stated 9. We got there at 835 for table of 4. The waitress said, we ll be right with you. Greeeat, so we stood there, for 10 mins, and she came back stating that they are closer for the day and will not be serving us. While we were standing there waiting, majority of the table were asking why their order is incorrect. So this place definitely need some serious management adjustment. I will say tho, the food looked good. read more

The server are extremely rude and I gave them 40 dollars ( 2 $20 bills) for a $24 meal. They DO NOT give me back changes!!! What's in their minds? Do they think I'll give 50% tips for the bad service? And when I ask changes, the server was kinda mad. For those people who call this place an authentic Xi'an cuisine, I don't agree with them. I grew up in Shannxi Area and this place is only a Okay Shannxi food, not authentic at all. They put way much garlic in their cold noodle. It suppose to emphasize on the spicy oil and the flavored spices water with hint of garlic but not the whole garlic!!! It's not worth the waiting time. If you really want that slap on your face then you should go to this restaurant. read more

Xian Kitchen - Found a toilet paper inside the noodle soup, so disgusting !!!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Milpitas, California

I've been to Xi'an several times and am always thrilled when I can find an authentic Xi'an restaurant. We arrived by 11:30am on a Thursday and were seated immediately. Even though we are not Chinese, we were greeted in Chinese (luckily I can speak some Mandarin). The four of us ordered several dishes - liang pi, special hot oil noodle, hot oil noodle with pork, shredded potato with vinegar, and eggplant with green beans. All dishes were delicious. The noodles were particularly yummy and chewy. At around 12pm, we noticed quite a line outside. Others have mentioned that the service left them cold, but I thought it was fine. No one checked in on us, and we could have used some water refills, but they weren't rude either. It wasn't difficult to flag down a waiter and get the check and our change. I'd rate the food between 4/5 and the service 3/4, hence the solid 4 stars. read more

They got a lot of improvements to be made with their whole waiting in line system. I got there at 8 and didn't get seated til 9:30 or so so expect the wait especially after grand opening. The guy monitors the papers and closes and opens the door on you. So awk. You have the option to leave your phone number so he can call which is helpful. So we got the burger which I do not recommend. The bun is too hard and the meat was mediocre. We got the regular basic noodles but asked to add pork. Omg best decision ever so I would definitely recommend it. I also got the egg tomato noodle which was sorta flavorless compared to my other noodle dish. We also had leftovers and when we ate it the day after, the noodles were so soggy. So if you get the right dish, then it will be bomb. Not sure if I'll come back if the wait is this crazy and if not, I'll go to qq noodle next door. read more

The is simply the best Chinese northwestern style restaurant I can find in the Bay Area. Very authentic. You can say that the waiters could be not as courteous as other fine dining places. But the food here simply rules your expectation! Suggestion: any dish is good here. read more

The owner is super friendly and 肉夹馍 is really good. Love their noodles as well. Try if you wanna have a taste of the western Chinese style.

I came like Sunday morning and get a table after 2hrs, the receptionist guy is really rude, always argued with the waiting customers, the attitude is so bad, when ppl asked questions, alsways said almost. He told me just like 30mins but actually I waiting like 2 hours more. Hope they can changed another receptionist Rest two stars for the good, it's good but I can taste lots of MSG, so thirsty read more

My Dumpling, why did you leave us? I loved your dumplings so much and really only decided to try Xian Kitchen to see what type of restaurant had the audacity to replace you. Unfortunately, Xian Kitchen doesn't even come anywhere close to how much I love My Dumpling. We tried three things - Hot oil noodle, cold noodle, and braised beef with tofu skin. The cold noodle was actually pretty good and I would definitely order it again. The braised beef with tofu skin was okay. The tofu skin was alright, the beef was very tender but the flavor and sauce was very lackluster. The hot oil noodle was too plain for my liking and the noodles were way too fat and thick. I get that the noodles were supposed to be thicker than normal but it just felt like someone rolled the dough out, got lazy, and decided to chop it into quarters instead of eights. Now on to what everyone else seems to be griping about, the service. The service is pretty bad. The servers are borderline rude. My boyfriend spoke to them in English and they just kept responding in Chinese. Yes, we get it. We look Chinese and yes we can understand you but it's a little rude to keep responding in another language as a server. Also, they never gave us water nor came back to check up on us. It took quite a bit of time to even flag someone for a check and then they never came back for the check either. We kept waiting and eventually noticed that all 5-6 servers were just huddled behind the counter happily chatting. Word of advice when you have a full restaurant, all of your servers shouldn't be behind the counter. There's bound to be a table out there that either needs a water refill or the check. They really need to up their game in terms of service because they could easily get higher ratings and a more loyal customer base. read more

Worst experience ever happened in a restaurant. The food was ok, nothing really special. But the attitude of the chef was unbelievable. I been waiting to use restroom for like 30 minutes(the restaurant is pretty small, I was able to see the restroom door from my table), seems like somebody drowned in the toilet. So I tried to knock the door again and ask politely to make sure there is really somebody in there. After a minute or so, a mid age kitchen staff looking guy came out with a provocative attitude said" wth u urging? Can't you wait?"(he spoke Chinese,but that's kinda what yelled). And I'm like" I didn't urge you, just wanna make sure there's somebody in it". But he seems doesn't want to stop, so he rose his voice and act like he's leading in a debate, then repeated what he said all over again. And I was tired of speaking to him, so I walked around him to the restroom. Really hope the owner could also knowledge the kitchen staff how to work in a service industry. If I'm the owner I wouldn't be happy to see my employee take a 30mins shit and bitch at customer for disturbed his marathon shit. Come on man, were u given a birth in there? You better learn some basic etiquette. read more

Food doesn't does authentic at all. Comparing the old Taste of Xi'an in Newark, this place is really not that good. The sesame pancake is tasteless. On top of that, the service is horrible as per most reviews mentioned. Definitely don't recommend. read more

Ordered through an app and waited for 2 HR on a Tuesday night! The cold noodle came with no sauce and no flavor - just plain noodle. Ordered 羊肉泡馍- which came with no lamb . Have to throw the entire order away - absolutely awful experience . If there is no capacity or if the store have been extremely busy then stop taking orders. don't treat customers like SHIT! read more

Food is awesome! I have traveled to Xi'an before, but thought this is even better than the food I had there, prob cuz I didn't find the right restaurants there :) price is reasonable and food is really tasty. But remember CASH ONLY! I saw other reviews complained about there poor customer service. However, I thought it was understandable given they just opened and if you compare with a standard Chinese restaurant service in the US, it's not too off from the average. Prepare to be on a long waitlist though. This place is pretty hot at least at this moment. read more

Love it! Comfort food. My favorite would definitely goes to the noodles. Food are a little salty than expected but I do have a lighter taste

Bad service and mediocre food. First, they messed up my order. Second I asked for wechat pay and they secretly marked up the total. My order totals 40 before tax and after tax it's 44. With 15% tips, it is 50.6. They he asked my how much I would like to pay I said 50.6. Then he converted it to RMB and said 361.5 yuan. I didn't check the math as i was in a hurry. When i came back, I realized 361.5 yuan is 53 dollars. So be careful people, I believe if they do this, they will have other dishonest behaviors too. read more

One of the worst restaurants ever. Waiters behave like Chinese gangsters. We ordered two tofu dishes, they can back after ten minutes to say there is no tofu today. So we ordered a stir fry potatoes as a replacement. Right after it, one tofu dish came up to our surprise, so we asked to cancel the potatoes. They said no cancellation is allowed. In addition, one stir fry noodle came so late we were thirty minutes into our meal. Then the final bill came, they charged for one extra noodle and two tofus, we told them they wrongly charged, they took those out, but demanded a full tip and put the tip amount on the bil. Since I was with a friend, so I didn't argue and just paid. Overall food taste was terrible too. Noodles were extremely hard, and the stir fry potatoes was soaked in white vinegar. TERRIBLE FOOD, MOFIA STYLE SERVICE. THE WORST CHINESE RESTAURANT EVER! read more

I gotta give five stars because the food was 4 stars, but an additional star when the waitress told a lady to go back outside and wait when she rudely came in and told a solo man if he could move or leave so she and her friends can have the table. (Of course he said no. No shits given). read more
