This was a good Chinese restaurant, kind of small inside but there is seating. Service was typically meh but the food was great. We were a group of 4 so we tried a lot of items. We ordered sliced marinated beef, lamb soup, biang biang noodles, cumin lamb flatbread, cumin beef flatbread, lamb skewer, noodles with tomato and egg sauce. They were all 5/5 in my book. Flavor was all there. Dishes were savory and delish. Portions were just right, no complaints. Prices are fair. No we did not get any food poisoning.
I got chicken skewers and a cumin lamb Flatbread and a milk taro drink food was good the chicken skewers are DELICIOUS and the Flatbread is big for the price. Staff are not native English speakers so have patience with them they are very sweet
The atmosphere was like you walk into Chinese culture! Staff greeting me as u walked in. And I was offered ice water or hot tea. I choose hot tea; I received the most robust, delightful, fragrant Jasmine tea. I knew it was Jasmine because I have the Jasmine Young living essential oil at home.
Order:
I had Biang Biang Noodle number 60, 3 Tapas and Cumin lamb Flatbread. The ingredients are vibrant and decedent. Noodles handmade and not over cooked. This restaurant also validates parking. The best Authentic Chinese food I've ever had. Being honest, growing up on Americanized Chinese food.
I still can't get over the tea. I'll be back forever!!
Really good taste!!! No public restrooms, I ordered the pork potstickers, there is fresh spices inside, very good. Ordered #91 stir fried cold noodle with the beef. The beef is close to a roast beef texture sliced thinly. The noodles were a bit too floppy for my liking but honestly the flavor is there, maybe someone was training in the kitchen and left the noodles soaking too long.
Came here 3 times in a week during travel. Very small restaurant and can get super busy. But the food is authentic, their noodles are really good. Most dishes has strong flavors, like the BianBian noodle and their braised lamb chop. But other noodles are actually not so heavy on sauce, instead you can taste the original flavor of the food itseld. The special thing is here everything taste like what they supposed to, instead all dishes taste a like. I think their cold green bean noodle (凉皮）and fried noodle （炒拉皮） are all very yummy. Their flat bread lamb soup and lamb soup noodles are white soup with plain taste. Their 羊杂汤 is also super tasty with strong lamb flavor.
I ordered biang biang noodles with wide hand pulled noodles. The noodles are soft and good but the soup lack beefy and spicy flavor. I wish they have soy sauce on the table but they don’t. Not thirsty after eating so that’s a good sign.
If you're looking for a heart warming noodle meal, look no further. Xian Cuisine is a great restaurant spot in the heart of Chicago Chinatown and definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend the biang biang noodles!
We ate at the restaurant on a Thursday evening. Only one other party was there but should have been packed. The menu was amazing with items not usually seen. Prices were more than fair and every thing we ordered was perfect. Don't miss the egg drop soup!!

We come to China Town once in a while for a certain cravings, but our first experience with this place is actually with its location at Naperville. Comparatively speaking the China Town location is much smaller in size and menu offerings. But the food quality is about the same.
I am not sure what all these 5 star reviews are all about, the food here is 4 stars at the best. The 5 stars are for the hand made noodles and maybe the pot stickers. Everything else is just middle of the road for me. The flat bread is ok, it is more less like a stuffed gordita. I actually prefer the Cubano over this flat bread for the texture. The ZhaJiang noodle taste is a little on the light side but perfect hand made noodles. The BiangBiang noodle taste is right on but there are not enough ingredients to match its $13 price tag (in China Town). We didn't try the skewers but I think the other specialized skewer restaurants in China Town probably have more to offer.
One thing I can say, the service is super fast and all of food came up within 10 mins back to back.
This place needs more attention. Their flat bread sandwiches (rou jia mo) is delicious. Bread is perfect. If you’re familiar with mainland Chinese food you’ll find these items on the streets of Beijing in the morning rush as people are off to work. Taste just like I remembered 10 years ago. The hand pulled noodles are yummy as well. There most definitely is a difference in fresh noodles over dried packaged ones. The lamb skewers are more meatier than other Chinatown locations. Staff is your typical Chinese Place, so don’t be a Karen and just enjoy the food!
