Excellent food and service. The atmosphere could be nicer but in a way, it's also pretty charming.

We went by to get a takeaway. It was quite cold outside, but the owner was very kind and offered us to wait inside and even brought us tea to warm us up while we waited. He was very considerate of our needs.
The food was good and portion sizes were large. Plenty of rice with the dishes as well. The spice level was good, a little zing to it without blowing your head off. I would get it again!

This has to be the absolute worst take you I have ever gotten. The order was either undercooked in some cases and over cooked in other items. The pork fried rice had a giant hole in the top of the container , spoiled all over the bag and had about as much flavor as a piece of cardboard.The steamed wontons where slimy looking and had little taste to them. The lomain had an almost a chemical taste to it. The egg rolls were burnt.The wonton soup was black had literally 3 wontons in it and if that be the case and it was a qt size I can only imagine how bad they are trying to rob there customers on the pt size. Over all I give this a 1 star and trust me if I could they would get a negative 5*

I thought the food was very good, nice spices and seasonings. The noodles and dumplings were especially on point.

Couldn't take pictures ate my food before I could
Food: I ordered a braised pork combo meal, chicken broccoli combo meal, and a small lo mein?. Combo meals come with white or fried rice and also a hot and sour soup?. I asked for no soup on one of the orders, and they instead gave me a egg roll?
Braised pork was soft and tender, the chicken broccoli was very flavorful, and the lo mein tasted like no other, very aromatic and umami. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that the pork in the fried rice was not diced bits of red dyed "pork' and actual soft pork. And the hot and sour soup had a coziness feel to it, I wanted more?

SERVICE: We came in last minute hoping that they would accept our order and they did!!?? They were very patient with us very enthusiastic aswell! As we were waiting for our food he handed a complimentary iced tea to test out and it was delicious ? will get one next time for sure!

In summary the food was DELICIOUS and I will be coming back again for more!! My only complaint is that I wished I could've had more of the soup ????

Wow! Definitely my new go-to for "Chinese takeout" food was hot, fresh, and flavorful! The scallion pancakes were savory and crispy, braised pork ribs were super tender and the honeydew bubble tea was light and refreshing! Also I love that the combo came with hot and sour soup!!! Everything was delicious!

The food isn't good the shrimp and broccoli ,chicken broccoli with garlic sauce tasted funny strange if you will .my daughter didn't want to eat it neither did I. It was a waste of money 66$ down the drain .I will not be back even though the skewers were pretty good and that's it

I find most local Asian dining to be the same, overly sweet and salty. Xian’s food has rich flavor without going over the top. Pungent, umami, bitter flavors are allowed to take the stage. I love the simplicity of the dishes. Definitely ordering again

If you are vegan or vegetarian, you need to try this place! I have been searching high and low for an Asian joint that actually cooks their tofu well. At most places, it’s rubbery & slippery with some sauce splashed over it. Here, you can tell it’s been pressed and/or baked — it has an incredibly firm texture and well-coated flavor (I got the sesame tofu). My non-vegetarian boyfriend also enjoyed his meal — he got a pork bun and General Tso’s Chicken with fried rice. We were thoroughly impressed and will be returning. Don’t let the unassuming exterior turn you away!

Vegetarian options: A large selection of tofu dishes and fun edamame varieties.
