wild ginger just is a solid spot to eat at. the length and texture of the hand pulled noodles are so satisfying to eat, and the place is pretty small so you can hear the loud smacking sounds of the chef making the noodles in the kitchen! so cool!!!my friends and I actually got a cold noodle dish on the house when we visited for dinner :) they are just so kind like that!the spicy dishes are actually not really that spicy which doesn't hit the spot for me exactly but still super enjoyable. i remember when they first opened like 6+ years ago, it was pretty spicy for me so either my spice tolerance has really gone up (it definitely has over the years), they toned down the spice for the customers, or both. either way, each time I come I leave full and satisfied!

Great hole in the wall spot. Atmosphere is not fancy which is how I like it. Limited seating. Limited vegan options but great flavor. Not sure why but the owners kept bringing us dishes to try.

Wife was graving some hand cut noodles and wanted to try this place out. Small restaurant serving up some authentic flavors. Got the Lamb Malatang, wife got the Spicy Cumin Lamb in Sauce.Both were delicious and the noodles had the texture that you only get from fresh made noodles. The malatang at medium spicy is a good medium, and the broth had a nice savory flavor.Also got the cold Numbing Spicy Beef, while not as numbing as I expected from szechuan peppercorns, it was still tasty and would get it again.

Service was friendly, hand pulled noodles were delicious, dumplings were mid. Overall great spot for some authentic food and don’t be afraid to split the noodle dishes between 2 with a side order of something else.

Good stuff!Had the biang biang noodles with spicy tingly beef. It was all tasty. The beef may have been the most tender I've ever experienced. Plenty of tingling without being too hot.

This restaurant is our favorite for food from Xi'an, China. We eat here on a nearly weekly basis. The hand-pulled noodles are especially delicious! The staff are very friendly, and even ran after us after one visit to return my wife's cane, which we had forgotten. Their food is authentic Xi'an food.Vegetarian options: I'm a vegetarian, and I can attest to the numerous, great vegetarian options.
This place is delicious. Even though they messed up our most recent order and didn't offer to make it right, it's the only time they've messed up an order and we like their food enough that I'm still giving them 5 stars.

We all enjoyed our meal at this cute little cafe. The dish that we especially liked were the Dandan noodles. Service was great. Easy street parking.

I used to love this place. And then they started putting less meat in their meat dishes and the vegetarian dishes are as much as the meat dishes. The value just isn’t there anymore. I’ll just stay on the peninsula and eat there.

Well, to start with this place is slightly overrated on yelp. 4 1/2 stars for the quality of service and the design / comfort of the place - no way! Yes, Tammy didn’t do a good job. Sorry.My current rating goes to the quality of food only, which was on the relatively decent level. On the other hand, we had to serve ourselves the plasticwear (so called silverware) and the koits, as when the food was served we had nothing to eat it with. High chairs were stocked in the bathroom, were I couldn’t find the changing table, but a whole lot of restaurant attire storage, which seemed pretty cluttered. BTW, wait to the bathroom goes through the kitchen, where the food is cooked. The place overall does need some renovation.Food overall was well done. My native significant other picked some authentic soup and so called “Chinese burgers”, which were delicious.Would gladly give this place another try to increase the star rating with hope for improvements.

Malatang at the very spicy option produces a satisfying if not slightly too oily- though rich broth, which hides a nice rich flavor deep in the bowl. Nice variety of toppings though one thing of note is that I felt your selection of meat, in my instance lamb, is a bit lacking in the volume department. Could do with more at the price point. Very friendly service I was really happy with it. The dumplings are also a welcome addition, and I believe freshly made as that take a while to be brought to the table.

Delicious. Spicy lamb dumplings were my favorite. So fresh and flavorful. Was given spicy cucumber salad on the house. Slight spice and full of flavor. Enjoyed the spicy and tingly beef and the spicy cumin lamb in sauce. The hand pulled noodles are delicious. The beef was super tender and amazing. Would probably try a different sauce next time. Liked the lamb sauce a little better.
Simply amazing!
