Everything was so good I forgot to take a picture before we dug in Service was 100/10. I believe we spoke with the owner and he was super sweet and attentive and explained items on the menu and made recommendations. We were seated almost immediately after placing order and food came out in a timely manner. Place was super clean as were the bathrooms. Got a free upgrade for salad and drinks. Definitely going back to try other items on the menu. read more

UPDATE: owner replied to my original review below, honestly sounds like the reply was AI-generated. However, hopefully positive changes are made and xibei eatery improves. I really wanted to support and like this spot....but a lot has to improve. Here is my take: The way the ordering system operates right now sucks. You have an order at the front system, but don't have someone dedicate only to the register. You don't even have a bell or something to notify the staff that there are customers in line, so customers either stand there sheepishly waiting or they go have a seat and are escorted back to the front to order. Just really inefficient and baffling. I could tell that the Chinese customer that arrived right after us was pissed when he got escorted back to the front. Next, the person taking orders at the front has good energy and was the only positive thing about my whole experience. I really felt bad for her because she had to both take orders at the front, handle payment, and serve dishes. You have this girl running around everywhere knowing that if customers get pissed, its probably going to be at her, unjustly, because that girl is one of the only people customers are interacting with. Regarding the food: if you're going to serve those oil splashed noodles, figure out the portion or serving bowl. The current bowl ya'll are using is too deep and better used for soup noodles. The amount of noodles you give is not set up to soak up the oil and flavor since the oil just sits at the bottom since the bowl is too deep and noodles are too thick to be able to mop up the flavor. Ya'll are adding new menu items when you don't have your main menu items figured out yet. This impacts your front of house as well as your customers because there are so many items with modifications yet whatever comes out to the guests is subpar. Also, I ordered the side-size of the braised pork belly and rice, all that came out was the pork which is confusing. Figure out your identity, your portions, and your staffing. I want to root for this spot but this first experience was genuinely really bad. I came here with my brother and spent 60$ for 2 people and we left baffled+ disappointed. i just remembered the cashier's name: Blue. Blue was great, and had good energy. Treat them well and get them some support. Ya'll are wrong for having her run around while handling ordering and cash handling. If ya'll can't handle running 3 tables competently, how are you supposed to handle a rush or a weekend properly? The food wasn't horrible, but there are so many details about the food that have to be figured out. Please read my review and please make changes. read more

XIBEI Eatery - Beef Short Rib Oil Splashed Hand-Pulled Noodles- - Chinese Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The food at Xibei is very flavorful. The Mapo tofu (side) is a great item to order to have as an appetizer as well as a flavor topping for some of their non-spicy noodles. The brisket in the Brisket Hand Pulled Noodles dish is very tender and the balance of garlic and chili oil leaves a gentle heat throughout eating the dish. The XLB (soup dumplings) are very light with a good amount of ginger flavor in the broth to help ease the nerves. The service is very attentive to make sure everything is up to par. The music isn't too loud so it is a nice relaxing place to go after work. read more

Great local place with oil splashed noodles and xlb! The noodles were chewy and had the perfect amount of chili. We got the rib bone too and the meat was tender and had a great umami flavor. The employees were so accommodating towards us and were quick with service. read more

The noodle bowls are the thing here and you should bring a bib so your shirt stays clean! We ate the dumplings and cucumber salad too! Solid meal with good service! read more

Yummy yummy food and friendly service! Was very attentive and helpful. Food came out quick and was very delicious.

Food was very flavorful. I recommend the Braised Beef Hand pulled noodles. Mark is very welcoming and friendly.

It's a brand-new restaurant, and I tried their signature dish: the short rib with flat noodles. The set comes with a house salad and green tea. First, the noodles were undercooked; the center was still white when it should have been translucent. Second, the rib wasn't tender at all and definitely didn't fall off the bone. Third, the salad and jasmine tea were just average--nothing special. On a positive note, the garlic butter noodles were quite tasty, though a bit too oily. Service was good. The inside seating was clean and tidy. read more

solid quick bite, definitely get the oil splashed noodles for your first time. Staff is really nice and the interior is clean.

I used to come here when it was a boba place, then an offshoot of Northern Cafe, and now I hear this is a big chain from China? I had the short rib Noodle and it was pretty tasty, good portions, a little spicy. The bowl is huge. They have a ton of other noodle dishes and soups. Also nice decor! read more

Excellent food. Short rib noodles and soup dumplings were delicious. Place is beautiful and staff is very kind! We will be back!

Pulled noodles taste great. They also have interesting teas and juices. Worth a trip. Easy parking.

The short rib noodle dish is verrry good. The meat falls off the bone and is packed with flavor. The garlic and chili oil noodles are the perfect match - good texture and not too heavy. Have no idea what they put in the salad dressing, but it'll make your tastebuds orgasm. Also highly recommend the coconut mango slushy with half sugar and mango sticky rice cakes. Even though they're soft opening, the food has been very consistent. Although staff is still training, they're very friendly and helpful. They clearly take pride in their food and experience. read more

Service was great and attentive! We got the iconic oil splash hand pulled noodles with minced pork and brisket beef. The noodles were amazing and they were generous with the portions. Would definitely come back again! read more

We found this place on Yelp while we're on a short vacation. It's only about 10 minutes away from Great Wolf Lodge. The place is inviting with very nice servers and great ambiance. Food is amazing! We got the "Beef Short Rib Hand-Pulled Noodles", "Minced Pork Rice Bowl", Shumai and Xiao Long Bao. Everything tasted great! Even my 6 year old loved the food. We will definitely be back again when we're around the area. read more

Yummmmy and great service. The food was very fresh with the right amount of flavors. They have many choices of dishes as well

Amazing customer service, good deals going on right now and recommended our dishes. Food was also good, the noodles were delicious. They did get the order wrong initially, but immediately corrected it when we asked! Clean restaurant and friendly staff. Jasmine Green Tea and Rose Grape were amazing read more

I was walking by the plaza and was curious to try this new restaurant-and it did not disappoint! Their oil splashing noodles were simple yet so tasteful-better than any other chili noodles Ive tried before. Their popcorn chicken was also super good and brought a nostalgic feeling (although a tad bit spicy). I also tried their passion fruit drink and it was nice and refreshing-especially on these hot days. I forgot to take pictures when the food arrived, but these are the pictures of my to-go containers (good quality containers). Will definitely be back :) -Oh and the service was fast! read more

This place opened up near where I live and I've been meaning to try it out. We ordered beef short rib oil splashed hand-pulled noodles, beef brisket noodle soup, xiao long bao, and golden berry juice. Beef is super tender for both of them. We really like the hand-pulled noodles and golden berry juice. Service is really friendly. Clean and bright ambiance. read more

Went back for another round at Xibei after a solid first visit, and they delivered once again. The shrimp and zucchini shu mai was a pleasant surprise, better than the shrimp and uni. The xiao long bao also exceeded expectations, with a great broth and delicate wrapper. One annoyance was on the hand pulled noodles I added extra veggies which is just extra bok choy. They didn't add them so I had to ask a server for them. The same thing happened on the last visit but the server brought them out after I'd already finished my noodles. Aside from the service issue, if you've been on the fence about Xibei, it's time to give them a try. read more

Excellent food, great atmosphere. The hand pulled wide noodle has excellent chew and good flavor. It's not super spicy, but a warm tingle that reminds of home in the old country read more

New store. Good food and very friendly staff. Baos and soup dumplings were very good and reasonably priced

Excellent food! We really enjoyed everything and will be back, the hand pulled noodles were awesome.

If you're looking for authentic, expertly crafted noodles and dumplings in Santa Ana area, this place is an absolute must-try! The food quality is top-tier, and the service is fast and attentive. read more

Amazing food! Server was very attentive and was very kinda as well. The chili oil in the noodles was addicting and the noodles were made with such care! I'd go here every week if I lived closer. My girlfriend and I got the minced pork and beef brisket oil splashed hand pulled noodles and both dishes were more than enough for 2 people. The quality was amazing and I can't wait to come back and enjoy again! read more

Our server was incredible tonight. She was great. She helped us with how much to order. Love the decor.

I wanted to try something different and this place came up as suggestion. Walking in, the ambience was like an urban coffee shop mixed with a family owned restaurant. Service was friendly and fast so I had high expectations already. Food came out in less than 15 mins after we had sat down. We ordered the short rib oil noodles (which we saw them hand pull in the back), the shrimp and uni shu mai, the xiao long bao, and the chinese pork sandwich. The noodles were nice and bouncy and pair well with the short rib and chili oil (8.9/10). Shrimp and uni shu mai was rich in flavor and the wrap had a satisfying chew (9.5/10). Xiao long bao was creamy but had a thick wrap (7/10). The pork bun was decent, kind of lacked flavor and/or sauce (6/10). Overall, this place is highly recommended and I hope to come back very soon! read more

new chinese noodle and dumpling place in santa ana! the beef brisket hand-pulled noodles was quite yummy! and all the dumplings were decent as well! the only thing that i was a little mixed on were the drinks; got the jasmine green milk tea and the mango coconut smoothie. the jasmine green milk tea was fine, but the mango coconut smoothie had a VERY strong grapefruit taste to it that just wasn't for me. all the servers were nice, though. and the aesthetic inside was clean and contemporary. overall, a nice place to satiate those noodle and dumpling cravings! read more
