“ I got the beef stew with thick noodles and I asked for extra spicy and they delivered such a wonderful dish. It was so spicy that it had me in tears and my lips tingling. Such a ride. I have a high tolerance for spicy and never felt this before. The service was exceptional. Woman at the counter was very nice and helpful in cleaning an area up so I can sit. The area didn’t really need cleaning but she did it anyway. Very nice. Truly am glad I stopped by ”
“ The beef burgers and the pork burgers are my favorite items there, the noodles look amazing though I’ve never tried. The burgers are loaded with meat and flaky and crispy just perfect. Prices are good and the vibes are chill and employees are helpful. ”
“ Lunch at Bites of Xi'an 西安美食 I ordered a Roujiamo, also known as a Chinese burger, originating from Xi'an cuisine. It has stewed lamb with bean sprouts seasoned with cumin stuffed inside a crispy flatbread. I paired it with this very spicy noodle dish called You Po Che Mian. It's made of thick yam noodles swimming in a flavorful broth well seasoned with chili oil, sichuan peppercorns, cilantro, scallions, and other 'you po' spices. It also contains leafy greens called bok choy and ground lamb. This Xi'an cuisine for lunch was a solid choice, cause baby they don't play when it comes to spices and let me tell ya the flavors sure did hit the right spot for me cause ya girl loves the heat #chefyoshi #travelchef #patisseriechef #brunchathome #foodandtravel #internationalcook #foodandtravelblogger #foodcurator #cuisinetour #digitalmagazine #personalchef #fromscratch #recipegoodness #culinarian #farmtotable #globalcuisines #journeyinfluencer #xiancuisines ”
“ Good cheap eats. I ordered the appetizer of spicy crispy chicken & pan fried pork dumplings. The chicken was very crispy but wasnt spicy at all. Overall the flavor was good. The dumplings had a nice sear and gave a good crunch when biting it. FYI drinks are not cold. The restaurant was a bit warm. ”
“ Stellar beef noodle soup. The hand pulled noodles have a great chewy texture, and the flavor was yummy as well. The taste is a bit on the ma la (numbing) side, but still tasted good. Reasonable pricing as well, and place can be bustling at meal times! Nice location near Central Park. ”
“ Beef noodle stew spicy was incredible! One of the best meals I've ever had. Got the tea in the red can based on another review and definitely recommend. Small location with only a few tables but the food is amazing ”
“ Not alot of seating, but This place is a great lunch spot. I ordered the popular stewed beef noodle soup w.pulled noodles. I prefer the regular noodles. The soup was flavorful and the spice was perfect, it wasn't too spicy. ”
“ Completely underwhelmed by lack of tap water for my thirsty child. Asking for an extra bowl to share a noodle soup will cost extra 50. We ordered N1 & D5 and was shocked by the food coloring green of the veggie pan friend dumpling. Eat in food is served by take out plastic. Tables are sticky and dirty. The hand-pull noodles were impossible to separate. Thanks but no thanks. ”
