The human hair: I would totally ignore it if it was in the stuffing... But it was stuck in the middle of the dough. The process of getting it out really got me on my last nerve. I had to dig it out, multiple times, only to find out every time I did that, the hair was longer than I expected... then when I finally got to the end and saw the follicle at end of the hair, I totally lost it. A shame bc the flavor was nice and authentic, but I rather not risk getting traumatized by a dish I loved so much before I ordered in this place. Good luck. read more

I was so curious to try this place since I've never seen a Chinese food place combined with Texas bbq. I haven't tried the bbq yet, but I say for sure that their sesame cold noodles and Chinese pork burger are soooo good.. arguably my favorite place to eat near Millbrae! read more

Today we visited this establishment for the second time. The first time everything was very tasty, we were well served, we decided to take all in one for $35. We really liked it the first time, so we decided to come again. The second time everything was different: the service from the door was very rude. They sat us down and took our order very rudely; it was a woman who served us. She answered questions rudely, ignored me, there was a bad connection in the restaurant, I needed to call at work, to the question "can I have the Wi-Fi password?" she rudely replied that there was no Wi-Fi, but there was one,we used last lime. The food was not as tasty as the first time, this time the bbq were over-salted and there were too many spices, you can see in the photo, the lamb stank and gave off an unpleasant taste. They have meat in the top shelf of the drinks refrigerator, and all the cans of soda are covered in blood from the meat on top, there are so many viruses. It is impossible to even wash your hands in the restroom; the inside stinks and is completely unsanitary. If you don't want to ruin your mood and appetite, I advise you not to go to this establishment. read more

Food is authentic! Pretty difficult to find any other such restaurants in Pennisula. It's located in a small Plaza. Parking can be difficult. read more

Really 3.5 stars. It's predominantly a takeout place. Not bad but definitely far from great. Prices can be decent depending on what you order. Value wise it's not bad. Flavor wise though it's surprisingly lacking from all the reviews calling "authentic". It feels like stepping into a shop in mainland China with it's lack of decor and half hangout/half business vibe and miscellaneous storage out in the open. This is about as much I want to write about the place and about as much as you need to know. read more

I've missed Xian good food every day since leaving China years ago! I just moved back from LA and even there it was hard to find really authentic food. So happy I found this place! I'd never had a Rou Jia Mo with cumin lamb so I decided I'd give it a try. The cumin lamb was amazing. Nice and spicy and strong cumin flavor! The onions and peppers gave some nice freshness to it! The Pita was nice and firm on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. That is the perfect texture so that it doesn't fall apart from all the juices but is also still soft and has the perfect chew. The liangpi was amazing! I used all the sauce and it was perfectly balanced. The noodles were thicker than I'm used to but so nice and bouncy and chewy. Perfect amount of cucumber and sprouts. And the gluten pieces didn't feel heavy at all! I will most definitely be ordering from here more! I absolutely cannot wait to try the Paomo (lamb soup)! I haven't had a good one since my place in LA closed years ago! read more

Just look at how much meat they stack in these buns! I've been craving roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) for so long, and got the basic pork. It tastes like carnitas to me but in a fluffy pan seared bun! The burger was so juicy and satisfying. The noodles were refreshing too! Perfect pairing and the portions are huge. 10/10 read more

The Cold noodles were really good, it is actually not a soup. I recommend getting it with extra sauce!! the wonton soup was also good, we ordered it with a pork sandwich 。。 I will return as the food was good, plentiful Portions, and authentic Northern Cuisine read more

Food here is good. Soup is especially good. Apparently they have become really cheap with the lamb ribs though. They used to fill up the whole skewer and now they appear to cut them in half or maybe a third (-1 star). read more

I *love* Shaanxi cuisine. Its flavor profile is suan-la, ie. sour and spicy. Ever since I tried it at Xi'an Famous Foods in Flushing, NY, I've had my eye out on places in the SF Bay Area. Terra Cotta Warrior was decent (at least in the beginning - not so much these days...) QQ Noodle in Cupertino is fantastically delicious. But here comes a new challenger in Z-One. Because of the pandemic, they are to-go only - but they also have a single table outside that my wife and I ate on. We stuck with the classic dishes we knew: Xi'an Sesame Cold Noodles - It's the classic Xi'an dish - wide and thin noodles, gluten pieces, julienned cucumbers, bean sprouts, garlic, vinegar, chili oil and sesame paste. Just mix it all together and you have a perfect balance of hard-hitting flavors. This version is a little more tart and a bit more spicy than others I've had - in a good way! Chinese Hamburger with Pork - This seems to always be paired with the cold noodles. This one is stuffed with juicy, fatty, marinated (braised?) pork. It's a good amount of meat! I love how this one comes with diced jalapenos for a little extra kick. You can get this "burger" with other meat fillings too. Xi'an Lamb Soup with Steamed Bread - This uses torn pieces of the mo bread from the "hamburger" in a very home-y soup. As a result, the bread plumps up from soaking up the broth, and is a nice textural component to the dish. The soup itself is the most decadent, rich lamb broth I've had (vs. Terra Cotta and QQ) and there's plenty of lamb meat too. It's just done really well! My perfect dish for a cooler day. My wife and I are already planning on what to get the next time we go - try a different "hamburger"? Test the waters for their skewers which makes up a lot of the menu? Whatever the case, we were so incredibly impressed with our experience that we will definitely be back soon. This is our favorite new restaurant! read more

The taste of pork chinese burger was so good, 5/5, juicy and meaty. The burger is soft inside and crunchy outside and better than my expectation and will definitely come back for it. La Pi is fine, 3/5, a little bit salty than I thought and meat is tough. read more

Looking for solid food at a decent price? This is the place. Perfect for small or large parties, the meats are tender and the seasoning is great. They also offer options for those not interested in skewers, like pork buns, dumplings, salted duck etc.. I'll be back! read more

Had beef and pork ribs! Absolutely delicious!! I would highly recommend this place ordered ahead of time as the place was packed!! Waited 5 minutes! No problem read more

Are you kidding me? They really cook the crab stick with the plastic wrap in my food. If you like plastic infused food you'll like this place. Good luck on getting cancer read more

great food funky little spot will eat here again many times- bbq is super yummy go get some

I was recommended to try their AYCE combo so I went there today. However, the waiter told me that AYCE is only for at least two guests ordering together and they ran out of BBQ. The most ridiculous part is that right after answering my questions, the waiter checked with the cook about an online order that included plenty of BBQ stuff. So I checked with the waiter again to see whether BBQ was available and this time the waiter rudely responded that they did not have that. read more

Ordered delivery from here. Good: - Lamb Spine Hot Pot: this had a lot of flavor - 周黑鸭 Duck Neck: tastes like what I remembered Bad: - Chinese hamburgers: the meat + bun combo was too dry and a single hamburger was $8 - Lamb with pickled cabbage: this was pretty much inedible, they added way too much black pepper Overall, would probably not order again. read more

Great people and great food . The pork hamburger are delicious. The staff is very nice

Very very tasty I love the noodles and kidney skewers so authentic and flavorful. Great texture on the noodles too

Just okay. Things were premade and kept on a warmer. The sandwich bread was dry and crumbly. It may taste better if they were freshly made. Lamb skewers have a lot of chewy fat. read more

OMG Best Chinese Hamburger and Stinky Tofu. Extremely well flavored and tender meat. Fried stinky tofu in rich garlicky sauce. Good fast service. Been there three times and will go again and again. read more

Authentic Shanxi food as the name suggests. I've got the food from here twice and didn't regret at all. Chinese burger original version tastes exactly the same as in China except that it can be a bit juicer. Burger with lamb and cumin was also great. We also tried the lamb soup. Great taste! Even though the food is on the pricier side, but it's definitely worth trying and coming back. Parking can be a hassle given the small and overcrowded plaza but you can always find a spot in the neighborhood. read more

I love ordering here for dinner. The maoxuewang is super good and it comes with a side of rice. Also their wontons and sesame cold noodles are super delicious. The taste is super authentic and reminds you of eating in China! read more

Very disappointed, order the cumin lambs, poor quality lambs, very chewy; chicken feet has weird taste. The cold noodle(擀面皮）is tasteless. The service was rude. Never again! read more

Pork burger is good, but the woman works in there got bad altitude, service need to improve.

The lamb BBQ sticks were tender and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend! The rest of the food is ok. Service is *not* with a smile, and they use paper plates and plastic utensils even for dine-in customers, which is disappointing. read more

Tasty find for freshly made Sichuan food at reasonable prices. I ordered a mixed meat and tofu boiled in hot Sichuan chili oil dish ("Maoxuewang") that was authentic with nice flavors. I would like spicier and more mala (numbing peppercorn) flavor, but it was overall well done and definitely worth ordering. I went out on a limb bc I can't read Chinese and was going off the picture on the menu to figure out what was in it (I could tell it was an offal type dish from the picture.) Turns out it included pork intestine, pork blood, spam, imitation crab meat, fried tofu puffs, fresh tofu, and some leafy veggies. I typically don't like pig blood, but they did a really superior job; it had a really nice almost crisp texture, just enough bite to make it interesting and soaked in the flavor of the chili oil. I will return to try more off their menu. Seems like another banging locally owned spot is going on my list! read more

Very delicious! I love the grilled skewers here~ and very nice staff, I will definitely return and try all their food.

This is the spot if u want some originality for some local Chinese food, I have been getting to go here for 4 days straight already. The cold dishes is so good and the main dishes are outstanding too, the amount are great and more than the similar restaurant I been too. read more
