Website said open until 9:30pm. Came in at 9pm and they took our order. Food came out in 5 mins and then at 9:15pm they kicked us out while we were almost done eating.
The food was also bland and flavorless with not much spice compared to other Xi’an food.

The posted closing time is 9:30 PM, but staff started rushing us to leave at 9:15 without giving any prior notice. We had to hurry and finish our meal, which made the dining experience uncomfortable. The noodles were also very salty. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

The food was tasty and reasonably priced. I got a crispy burger with pork and pork and 12 chive dumplings for about $15. The crispy burger was really crispy and the pork in it was very juicy, and I wish they put a little bit of bell peppers in it though, but maybe that’s just my personal preference. The pork and chive dumplings were very tasty. The green color of the wrapper looks a bit artificial and a bit unappetizing, but it doesn’t affect the taste at all. Still one of the better crispy pork burger and pork and chive dumplings that I have had, and considering such a reasonable price, I would definitely be back.

Prices were great for the area. I had a stewed beef noodle soup dish and the flavor was great. Server was very friendly. I look forward to coming back.

I had a very unpleasant experience. The soup tasted like tap water mixed with Clorox, which is extremely concerning and completely unacceptable. This wasn’t just about flavor, it raised serious health and safety concerns.
I would strongly recommend that the restaurant review its food safety standards immediately. I will not be returning.

The noodles are not very chewy and the taste is not very fresh either.

Cucumber noodles were a surprise hit. Incredible. Got dumplings on the side too, and found they went super well with the cucumber noodle sauce.
Beef soup entree was good, but not a 10/10 like the other items. I kept craving those cucumber noodles long after leaving. Love the spiciness, the flavors were incredible. Peak NYC Chinese food. At least from a tourist perspective.

They are located a block from Port Authority Bus Terminal.
The food was legit, served in a large bowl at a good value.
I will come back for sure.

They won't let you use the restroom even if you're a customer.

You know, when you see a restaurant in New York City that's never busy... probably should take a lesson from that. I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon- place was empty. And, every other spot, was packed. The staff are efficient but completely unhelpful, or friendly for that matter. The food was meh. Supersalty, noodles in my beef noodle dish weren't cooked through. Dumplings were decent. Learn the lesson I did- just because you can get a seat, doesn't mean you should get a seat. In this case- keep walking.
