    I've been here twice and was very pleased with both food and service. Also they have some amazing dine in specials where you get a ton of different dishes huge portions for an amazing price! The inside of the restaurant is also clean and beautiful. If I lived close by I would be a regular here.

    I think the duck combo feeds a family of 6 just fine but may want to add maybe 1-2 other dishes for filler. The combo was good but it was missing a few extra filler as most of the item in the combo was fairly smaller apps. The place itself was clean and service was friendly. Would come back :)

    Service is excellent for Chinese restaurant. Waiters do not give you attitude at all!! +++ Food presentation is excellent. See pictures. Conveniently located in the Arcadia Mall with plenty of parking underneath in basement parking lot, restaurant is accessible from parking via escalators. Deco - top notch. Nice chairs and tablescape. I wish waiters would explain each dish to us, what it is and how it's significant to that part of China!

    My father is visiting from Asia and was celebrating their anniversary! We saw that XiBei finally opened here at the Santa Anita Mall and we were all so excited to try. Between the four of us, we shared seven dishes - Jellyfish Salad, 1/2 Peiking Duck, Mapo Tofu, KungPao Shrimp, Green Beans, Cold Noodles, and Grilled Eggplant. Everything was delicious, and I do have to say that the food was quite authentic. I did take away 2 stars because the service was mixed. We had made a reservation for 4 PM and received a phone call at 1 PM asking us to come earlier - I've honestly never encountered this situation before / it kind of defeats the purpose of making a reservation. When arriving, we did have two male servers who were AMAZING and tentative. Another note on service - when we ordered the 1/2 duck, there were not enough condiments and sides (hoisin sauce, cucumbers, onions, wraps). My father asked if we could have an additional set, and the female server rudely explained that we would have to pay for an additional set. We have 0 problem paying for an extra set; however, the tone of the response was unsettling. Restaurants have to understand that people come to try the food, but we always return for the service!

    Located in the Shops in Santa anita next to Haidilao hot pot. Very Spacious inside. Friendly attentive and speedy service. Plenty of parking. I like the combo meal here. Supposedly for 4-5 ppl but big portions so 6-7 ppl is ok. We got the peking duck combo meal which comes with a salad, steamed shrimp with vermicelli, sweet & sour pork rib, pepper beef, and broccoli dish plus dessert! There are other combos to choose from as well. Different varieties like beef, crab, fish head etc.

    Beautiful decor great service and awesome family combo meal deal!! We ordered the $108 meal with their famous peking duck and were wow'd with the feast!! It started with a light salad with soy-ginger dressing, then they brought out the spicy, fatty beef slices, Shanghai short ribs, garlic-sautéed broccoli, garlic shrimp vermicelli, and sticky-rice dessert. The Peking duck was served in two platters; each person got a small sauce plate. The Duck was sliced perfectly, and the meat was tender, as a good Peking duck should be! Since there were only two of us, we ended up taking most of the food home. The staff were so nice and helped us pack fresh Peking duck sauce. I would definitely visit again wth friends for the duck!

    XIBEI serves an authentic Chinese cuisine. There are ample parking spots in Santa Anita Mall. The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere and relaxing vibes. It was clean and organized. They have indoor seating. The menu includes Oat noodles dumplings with choice of protein or with pickled vegetables, Pecking duck, seabass, simmered beef stew, pork ribs, soup, Chinese street food like shumai and Xiao Long Bao and more We ordered; - Oat "WOWO" Honeycomb shaped Oat noodles with sweet and sour sauce 5/5 - Stir Fried Oat Noodles With pickled vegetables 5/5 - Northern Style Flatbread 5/5 - Broccoli Garlic 5/5 Everything was flavorful and delicious. The staff were genuinely warm and friendly. The service was fast. We had such a great time. Definitely, I will be back to try more of their delicious dishes.

    First time here and my dad had to call to reserve a seating and duck. The largest table they offer was for a party of 6, so we had to split into two tables of 8 because my mom wanted to order two separate combo sets. We can also order à la carte dishes on their iPads but we ordered combo meat sets. We got short rib combo and duck combo, one for each table. The combo came with a salad, soup, pork short ribs, garlic shrimp with vermicelli, kungpao chicken, broccoli, and the meat of your choice. Dessert was sticky rice with some sweet dipping sauce that only my dad liked. Rice must be ordered separately or we had to ask for bowls of rice. Salad had a nice tangy and sweet vinaigrette, mostly iceberg lettuce and various other vegetables. Soup was very mild and flavorful, it had tofu, Napa, mushrooms, and small shrimp. Broccoli was good, still had a crunch/bite with firmness and savory sauce. Garlic shrimp was strong with garlic but coupled with vermicelli balanced it well. Kung Pao chicken was sweet and slightly spicy, I ate the most of this dish as it was delicious. Short rib was great, very delicious, not the most tender short ribs, but was still great. I didn't try the dessert as i wanted to focus more on savory dishes. The only downside was the wait time for duck, we already finished our side of the combo while the other table was waiting. By the time it came out, they were pretty much done, so we ended up taking the rest home. Overall, a nice dinner for a small group of close friends or family. Maybe a good choice for large groups for their private rooms but it does require a minimum spend.

    XiBei seems like a decent spot for Chinese food. I came here for dinner recently and tried one of their sets. The set with the duck is the most popular but they run out so order in advance if you want it. I couldn't order the duck so I opted for the set that featured beef instead. FOOD All of the dishes that were a part of the set were good. The value is good too. The set cost less than $100 and it was enough for four. RESTAURANT The inside looks pretty nice. A few of the tables on the side have the picnic table cloth that people have been mentioning. Apparently, all of the tables used to have this type of table cloth. Now, the only tables that have them are off to the side and aren't for customers to use. I thought it was funny when I saw these. SERVICE Staff were good here on my visit. They were attentive and the kitchen seemed really efficient. PARKING It Arcadia Mall parking so it's plentiful and free.

    XiBei Signature Golden Millet Sticky Rice
    Bella S.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon ~2pm without reservation. We had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated at a table, which was not bad. Once at the table, you place your order on a tablet. XiBei serves Northwestern Chinese cuisine. The ambiance is casual, but the aesthetics of the place was a bit weird with Chinese banners hanging from the ceiling and picnic table cloths that didn't match anything. We ordered the Beef Rib Value Set ($98), which comes with... 1. Xiebei Signature Salad (3.5/5) - the salad wasn't very fresh, but the dressing was light and vinegary 2. Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs (5/5) - the pork was tender and came off the bone easily. It is also marinated well in their sweet and sour sauce, which had a good balance of savoriness and honey-like sweetness 3. Mongolian Sliced Angus Beef Rib (5/5) - of all the dishes, this was probably my favorite. The beef was tender and smoky in flavor. I loved the cumin spice seasoning that you dip the beef it as it complimented the smokey flavor well 4. Scallion Grilled Whole Sea Bass (2.5/5) - the sea bass was very fishy and tasted like farm-raised fish. It was cooked well though as it was tender on the inside and super crispy on the outside. The chili pepper seasoning it was served with was good 5. Kung Pao Chicken (2/5) This has to got to be one of the worst Kung pao chicken we've ever had. The sauce was way too sweet and vinegary + it was not spicy at all. There was also an off-putting flavor to it that we couldn't quite pinpoint. 6. Stir-Fried Green Beans (2/5) The green beans were cooked well, but like the other vegetable dishes, this one also lacked any flavor or proper seasoning. 7. XiBei Signature Golden Millet Sticky Rice (4/5) - the sticky rice with millet was quite sticky, but the golden millets had a pleasant millet flavor. The majority of taste comes from the sweet osmanthus dipping sauce. ------------- Additional Items that we ordered ... 1. Beef & Onion Dumplings (4/5) These dumplings were huge. The dumpling skin was not good - too thin and easily ripped apart. The meat filling inside also fell apart too easily due to the large amount of onions mixed into the meat. The flavor was decent though - beefy and garlicky. 2. Stir-Fried Broccoli (2/5): The broccoli itself was fresh and steamed to perfection, but it lacked any flavor. We ordered the garlic option and there was no garlic or garlic fragrance whatsoever. 3. Dry Pot Cauliflower with Pork (3/5): There was nothing special about this dish that tantalized our taste buds. The cauliflower was cooked well, but lacked flavor as it did not pick-up the savory sauce that it's served in. The pork in the dish was good though as it was able to absorb the sauce. 4. Mongolian Cheese Bing Bread (5/5) Pleasantly doughy, chewy and cheesy 5. Oat "WoWo" Honeycomb shaped oat noodles with sweet & sour sauce (2/5) Sadly, they did not make this dish right. It is supposed to be easy to tear apart each honeycomb noodle so that you can dip it in the sauce, but their version is all stuck together. Instead of dipping the honeycomb noodle in the sauce, they douse the sauce over the honeycomb noodles. The sauce itself was not good - it literally just tasted like sweet and sour spaghetti sauce when it should really have a good spice fragrance to it. 6. Xibei Style Lamb Shumai (3.5/5) A unique dish where they turn traditional shumai, which usually contains pork into one that contains lamb meat. The shumai skin was doughy and thin, which was nice because it doesn't make you feel full quickly, but the lamb meat was very gamey 7. Northern Style Pork Bun (3/5) The Rou Ja Mou bun was not flaky and lacked that fragrant doughiness. The pork was ok, but the sauce it 's marinated in was too sweet. 8. Housemade Yogurt with Osmanthus Fermented Rice Soup (5/5) Beijing-style yogurt, which is tangy and not as thick as Greek Yogurt. It is topped with a good amount of osmanthus flavored fermented rice, which adds sweetness and the floral osmanthus flavor. I do recommend getting this as it's sure a treat.

    I had to update my review because this place just got a serious glow-up! They finally got rid of those old picnic-style checker tablecloths, and the dining room looks so much more upscale and sleek now. We came in for dinner with a group and ordered one of their set menus for 6 people. It's honestly an incredible deal, it comes with a whole Peking duck and a bunch of great dishes, including the shrimp with vermicelli, beef in soup, broccoli, salad, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a 6-item appetizer platter. The food tasted fantastic, though the portion sizes for the set felt a little light for 6 fully grown adults. To make sure everyone was full, we added an order of their famous braised noodles with pork ribs, which absolutely hit the spot. The service was highly impressive and completely matches the new elevated vibe of the restaurant. We had such a great experience that we're actually coming back again next week for a birthday celebration. Highly recommend checking out their new look!

    I came for a birthday dinner with my family, and I have mixed feelings. First off, the food is very good, but it's not great. Considering the prices here, I expect to be fully wowed. Instead, I felt like the food was just good and the portion sizes were a little too small to justify the cost. The combo sets can be more cost-efficient, but even then, I don't think it's enough for 6 or more people. Maybe stick to the combo sets if you only have 4-5 people. The service and ambiance were also just okay as well. We were seated on the right side of the restaurant, seemingly apart from everyone else, and it was a weird vibe. The waiters also brought out our dishes in the wrong order, like dessert came before the entrees and duck, so it was kind of confusing. Personally, I think the food is worth a try once for the experience, but I don't think this will be a consistent go to type of place.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while after seeing tons of ads on it on Instagram. Overall, the experience was pretty good, though it did start off a bit awkward. One older server was fairly rude, and with limited English, the interaction was confusing, he insisted we needed to be members to order, which turned out not to be true. Aside from that and some very mid-level service, the food itself was excellent. What I tried: Shredded Chicken Oat Noodles - Hearty and delicious. Simple, clean flavors done well. I really enjoyed this dish. (4.5/5) Mongolian Beef Rib-Bone Platter - The true winner of the night. Fall-off-the-bone tender, incredibly flavorful. Easily the best bone-in beef I've had. (5/5) Stir-Fried Vegetables - A bit pricey at $18, but it tasted good. My mother-in-law thought it was slightly salty, but I personally liked it. (4/5) XiBei Signature Chilled Golden Millet Sticky Rice - A very unique dessert. Light, interesting, and definitely worth trying. (4.5/5) Overall, what started as a strange and slightly frustrating experience turned into a solid meal thanks to the great food and nice ambiance. It was likely a one-off service issue since 3 out of the 4 servers we interacted with were great, but it only takes one to affect the mood. Still, the food made it worth the visit.

It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

    4/5 vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful:…read more Lin's Club is a small family owned restaurant located in that cramped plaza at the intersection of Sixth Street and Duarte near the border of Arcadia and Monrovia. They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

Interior: The interior is quite spacious and has a very rustic feel to it. The tables were slightly sticky but the dishes and utensils seem pretty clean. Service: You order everything on a tablet and the servers will bring it over to the table and put them all onto a plate for us to share. They did not really tell us what they were bringing so I was not really sure exactly what I was eating. Food: Some of the skewers were huge in terms of portions and some had very little food on it. I wasn't exactly sure what I was eating but the food was decent. Definitely give this place a try if you like Chinese skewers.

    So happy to see more Xi'an food popping up around SGV, especially when it's done this well. As…read moresomeone 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.

    I liked this noodle spot way more than I thought I would! It looked like just another noodle spot,…read morebut they really do have good noodles! We had a party of 8, but they were able to accommodate us with a reservation made in advance. Also, they are halal, so it's great for eating here with friends who might have that dietary restriction. After getting seated, you scan the QR code on the table to place your order. I shared the Youpo Noodles with Fried Eggs with Tomato and the Youpo Noodles with Special Beef Paste. Both were very flavorful, and I loved the texture of the noodles. They were perfectly chewy. We got "mildly spicy," and it was just right. But be warned, I heard that ordering spicy is VERY spicy, so choose your spice level with caution! Parking can get tricky here since there's only a small parking structure, so make sure to allow extra time for that!
