The Youpo noodles and stewed Ma Shi taste great. I recommend this Xi'an restaurant. 喜欢面食的可以试一下，肉夹馍也还算不错，酸辣粉不很推荐。
We loved it! Hand pulled noodles and super fresh fish. Family owned small Japanese restaurant that I am happy to support. Small authentic Japanese restaurant. Highly recommend
We ordered noodles in soup with beef as well as pork. Pretty good. The pork hamburger and cumin beef hamburger are good, slightly pricey. We also ordered the sushi combo that comes with 1 special roll and an assortment of 6 nigiri (mix and match salmon, eel, or tuna). The salmon nigiri was fresh, and the rest of the sushi was good. The service was great. The waitress had good recommendations, as well as spoke mandarin, english, and cantonese. I ordered 2 salmon and 1 tuna in the combo, but the chef swapped 1 salmon for tuna by mistake. He apologized and gave me two more salmon nigiri, pretty generous and great attitude.
We came on a Tuesday evening and it was quaint and empty but service was nice and welcoming. They answered our questions regarding to the certain dishes. Friend ordered the #10 spicy chili oil noodles with pork w/ vegetables and I ordered the #19 cumin lamb noodles. I enjoyed my dish's flavors, but I'm not fond with the noodles. It had a nice bite but not as chewy like these typical noodles would. As for my friend's dish, it's a bit bland and the cut of the noodles were a bit confusing (some are small, some are big where it's half cut). We felt bad that the noodles cuts were inconsistent and some of the noodles were thick which didn't soak in the flavors very well. I do like the value of this place so we'll give this place another chance again later on.
We love this quaint place with the chef coming to greet and talk with us! He's so nice! Most of all, the food was so delicious! We had the spicy fried fish, which was fried super crispy, then cooked in the sichuan soup with tofu, spam (yay!), cilantro and other veg you can choose. Their pork bun was so yummy! The bun was the right thickness n the pork was super juicy, flavorful and tender. The beef noodle soup was good with a twist. Overall, it was a really good experience.
This is a family owned restaurant and I have to say that there's sushi is phenomenally delicious and definitely would recommend their sushi. I also got their Chinese cuisine and really love the way they made the food. This is also a very eco-friendly place and the people that are very nice and are willing to accommodate anything to our needs, which I found very Happy for I definitely recommend you coming here and there is a lot of parking as well.
This is a hole in the wall restaurant in an unassuming plaza, but the food we ordered really hit the spot! We got the Xian Style Cold Noodle with Chili Oil, Beef Noodle Soup, and Spicy Dragon Roll. The cold noodle dish was delicious - had some mild heat and the tanginess was refreshing. We also enjoyed the beef noodle soup which was homey. We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!
Tasty food. Friendly owner. Highly recommended! P.S. the noodles were so tasty that I forgot to take pictures at the beginning.
Finally tried this hole-in-the-wall Chinese/sushi restaurant that I've been curious about! Employees speak Mandarin but I was able to order by pointing. The Xian Style Cold Noodle with Chili Oil and Cold Noodle Sesame Sauce were delicious - perfect noodle texture and a delightful sesame sauce with a hint of vinegar. The Salmon Lover and Pink Lady sushi, despite the slightly mushy rice, won me over with the quality and presentation. Located in an unassuming plaza, this spot did not disappoint. Will come back to explore more of their menu - a hidden delight in our neighborhood!
