About Xi An Gourmet

Xi An Gourmet is a cozy spot for a warm and comfortable meal. The menu offers a good selection of dishes, including stir-fried noodles, scallion pancakes, spring rolls, and shrimp lo mein, all at a reasonable price with large portions. Popular dishes like fried tomato and egg, and beef brisket stew with potatoes are flavorful and savory. The restaurant also features Northwestern Chinese dishes such as Da Pan Ji (chicken served in a big plate) and Big Plate Chicken (大盘鸡), which is prepared excellently with marinated chicken, stewed potatoes, and wide, hand-pulled noodles soaked in a rich, spicy sauce. The food often features dry peppers, herbs, and spices, offering bold, earthy flavors that are satisfying and multi-layered.

The service is efficient, and the owner is super friendly, providing extra items like vinegar and homemade chili paste to enhance the experience. Customers have noted that the restaurant is very cheap, with most dishes costing around $20 or less, and large portions make it a good value. While the restaurant is quite small and can have long wait times during rush hour, many find the authentic northwestern Chinese flavors well worth it. Overall, Xi An Gourmet is a great place to enjoy delicious, authentic food, and the friendly atmosphere, especially the chili paste, adds to its charm.
