I'm a huge fan of Xi'an Noodles! I've only tried their beef biang noodles but it's just so good I keep getting it. Noodles are wide and I would say the portion size is pretty decent for the price. This is literally so close to Westlake Station on the second floor of westlake center. I ordered through the kiosk and it was pretty fast service. Lots of seating around this floor too!!
Got off monorail stop at west lake and came down to Level two and saw this and happened to be lunch time and immediately I wanted to try! Menu is simple and the touch screen ordering is easy to use! I ordered intestines noodles with extra lamb. The decor is very authentic. There is plenty of sitting area since that is the food court with other restaurants also. The server was friendly, and the automated machine will called out the order number in both English and mandarin! The noodles are delicious and intestines are super yummy and soft!
Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. Noodles had the perfect thickness to provide a delectable bouncy chew. Sauce was aromatic with cumin, had just the right amount of spice to liven up the flavor, and a delicious sourness. Lamb was seasoned well, tender, and had no gamey odor. They gave plenty of lamb so each bite had a great noodle to meat ratio. Bun had a soft bite with a slight crisp from the toasted sides. It had a mild flavor with not too much oil, which paired well with the rich flavor of the lamb. The bun was perfect for dipping into the leftover sauce of the noodles and both were elevated by a helpful serving of vinegar. Service - 4/5. Everything is self-service from ordering through the kiosk, picking up the food, and getting any condiments. The staff don't really engage in conversation at all since it is designed to be self-service. I personally enjoy that kind of service style, especially for a quick lunch location. Value - 5/5. Dry biang noodles go for $14 while the lamb bun was $7.50. Food was delicious and the portion sizes were good. They really load you up on the lamb, which is highly appreciated. Excellent Shaanxi cuisine restaurant. Parking - Mall Garage/Street (Metered)
A I like the ramen here. You must self order because they don't seem to know how to use the cash register. I recommend highly.
I forgot how much I love these noodles!! I should have ordered online and picked it up but I was thinking they wouldn't be busy haha. Anyways I ran next door to get lunch and had to wait a bit but it was still pretty quick. I ordered the lamb cumin dried noodles. Noodles were perfect texture with a slight chew. Braised lamb was so yummy. Even better the next day. The staff was really nice and packed me extra chili oil without me asking for more.
really tasty, the broth was very flavorful and full of spices. However the noodles had a strange metallic type of aftertaste afterwards that was very subtle but definitely didn't ruin the food. self service was easy and the pickup time is really quick too. A great place for something quick and easy. Updated review: I got the lamb noodle soup and it was tasty. This time there was no metallic taste in it. The service was great as usual, quick and convenient!
I LOVE hand-pulled noodles and I get extremely excited when a Xi'an restaurant turns it out in the most unexpected of spots. While there's not much to Westlake Mall itself, this spot certainly needs to be on your to-eat list while you're downtown. While I'm not sure if they make all their noodles fresh, the noodle quality was certainly hitting the spot for me. You order at the counter and receive a number, and they'll call out to you once your food is ready. I ordered their Sesame Noodles ($10), which I knew was likely their only real plant-based choice. I expected a savory noodle dish with Chinese sesame paste and chili oil, and that was exactly what I got. They even checked the back to make sure that there were no animal products used in the dish. Considering this is inside a mall, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste and would totally return here for another round of noodles.
