Great new place for noodles. Their long flat oil splash noodles have a great flavor. We also ordered XLB, and the popcorn chicken. Those were okay, but the prices were excellent. Sticky rice was also good. Highly recommend. read more

Food was great! We loved the hand pulled texture of the noodles and spiciness of the sauce. The drinks were good as well read more

Great service, friendly staff, amazing noodles! Not your typical Chinese eatery. Must try

Tried this place for the first time yesterday. The hand cut noodles had decent flavor but my dad Dan noodles were overcooked and a bit of a starchy mess. The house salad for $9 was underwhelming read more

XIBEI Eatery - Minced Pork Oil Splashed Hand-Pulled Noodles- - Chinese Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Finally something took over where the Bite Mi was located. The hand pulled noodles caught our eyes, and we finally got a chance to stop and try their food. Since they are still in their soft opening phase, it seems like they might have a limited menu still. We ordered a few things for takeout since they were taking professional pictures of their food. We ordered the oil splashed noodles, the scallion pancakes, salt and pepper chicken, hot and sour soup, and a jasmine milk tea. The oil splashed noodles were the star of the meal. You can really tell that the noodles are hand pulled and made to order. Just a heads up, they the pack quite a punch, so be warned. The salt and pepper chicken was standard, just also packed quite a kick compared to others we have had. The scallion pancakes were nice and crispy. The hot and sour soup was quite good, and we got a generous portion for it being the small size. The jasmine milk tea was good, not too sweet but a tad bit over steeped. We also got two jumbo dumplings with our order, an offer they have for their soft opening. You can see them being made fresh. Definitely a great place to get some delicious Chinese food, just be warned; it can get kind of spicy. Looking forward to trying some of their other dishes soon read more

XIBEI Eatery - So good. - Chinese Near Me - Santa Ana, California

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
