This place is a hidden gem. Staff there are nice and welcoming. The authentic flavors of the Middle Chinese are to die for. Lamb soup is my favorite but every dish I have tried during my 3 visits was delectable. Only thing needs to be improved is the short menu, just few options available. Best local Chinese food around!!
I love me some Xi'an cold noodles. These taste just like the authentic thing. It's nice to be able to get them in Fairfax instead of trekking all the way up to Rockville. It's the only dish I order, so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. And there's no wait time to buy the noodles.
I think this place is underrated. They have a limited menu, so it's not a Xian Famous Foods level yet, but I ordered the pork burger and biang biang noodles and I thought both hit the mark. The burger was similar to ones I've had in China, the bread in particular was thicker and softer than I expected it would be. The noodles were spicier than I expected, but I like spice so that was a positive for me. The noodles were thick and doughy, and the sauce wasn't too runny. IMHO the quality was better than noodles I've had at Xian Famous Foods in NYC. I had a good experience and will go back.
So glad I tried this place out! Had been looking for biang biang noodles in the area and this place delivers on the biang biang noodles. Also gotta try their “Chinese burger.” It was such an unexpected dish and so exciting to eat!
They didn't have half their menu available. Why bother going if that's the case?
Half of the menu was unavailable and what's offered is bland and unimpressive. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Dined in; ordered the noddles and the burger. All the bowls and utensils were all disposables... Very little meat in the noodles. The restaurant doesn't have forks... Noodles were poor. The burger was surprisingly good. But it tastes like carnitas in a chinese toasted bun. Probably won't come back again...

I am from XI'an and I am so happy to find a restaurant from my city. I've tried the cold noodles, meat burger, and the Qishan noodles. I like all of them, but the meat burger especially is my favorite. It was a lot of juicy delicious meat and definitely filled all my stomach! The boss was super friendly as well. Looking forward to try other dishes in the future. Recommend it!
Drove 20 mins to pick up my Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb soup羊肉泡馍. Didn’t expect that I had to cook it myself. I was told to boil my soup and noodles for 6-7 minutes. I suppose the chef wants to ensure the flavor and tenderness of the food. But they might forget that for Chinese food takeout, people are looking for convenience. The lamb was frozen. And the worst part, the lid of soup container wasn’t fully closed. 3 stars for supporting this new restaurant but for a takeout food, it is a disaster.
