Reviews of Xi'An Food Bar 西安饭庄

T. Y.

Seriously delicious dishes and great prices. One of my top Chinese noodles restaurants.

B. F.

Amazing food. We had pulled noodles with pork. The lamb burger was also delicious. Definitely can highly recommend and will go back. The staff was very friendly.

J. W.

Went to the place first time to try typical Xi An cuisine. I ordered lamb soup with glass noodle and a stuffed lamb bao bun. The food was delicious and I enjoyed it. The place is very simple decorated and if you are looking for typical Xi An street food, this is the place to go. The restaurant is a chain and you can find the food bar all over Auckland and Hamilton. The staff were friendly and helpful.

How did I end up here when I was looking forward to going to Amano for our Friday date night, Haha 😂 My partner needed to do some work after our meal, so we need something quick. Standing near the ANZAC Ave traffic light, we noticed this little gem. It turns out to be a memorable night - the food was rustic and authentic & we both couldn’t stop talking about the thick hand pulled noodles afterwards. They are sooo fresh, chewy and silky - it’s out-of-this-world!! 👍👍Did you know you pay $4 extra you can add their delicious braised pork to any noodle - we did and it was simply amazing😋. There isn’t your Hip Group style immaculate service, but you really just need to place your order and wait for your food to arrive before stuffing your face with all the deliciousness, get your own water; plus the lady who works there is loveable too!! So in conclusion - if you are after some yummy Chinese food, you must try this place & you will love it ! 🎊🎊 If you are after some romantic ambience, this is unfortunately not the place...

K. v. B.

Definitely delicious and worth the price. The noodles had a spicy broth at the bottom that got all mixed together and was really good and was quite filling. Wasn't much of a selection with the drinks fridge though

R.

One of the best noodle joints around Auckland. Absolutely love the hand-pulled noodles. I make sure to come here whenever I get the chance to visit! The portions are very good for the price you pay.

s. s.

Attentive staff, quick and easy order, fast service, incredibly chewy hand made noodles made to order with different flavors of topping. We had mince sauce topping hand made noodles, lamb soup with vermicelli. Huge portion, adorable, delicious. I recommend.

S. K.

Delicious hand pulled noodles for an amazingly cheap price ($13). They have pork and lamb. Would recommend the pulled pork.

Э. Ш.

Love their noodles (my fav with cumin lamb) :) Very friendly staff too.

J. F.

delicious, authentic Chinese noodles. Highly recommended

M. L.

Reasonably priced. Really huge portion for its price. The kitchen is open to customers' views. Staff are friendly. I haven't tried everything on the menu but the food here is overall good and authentic. Highly recommended!

D. W.

OK, so this place is more of a simple cheap eats place. But the beef noodles I had was the most authentic tasting Chinese food I've had since eating in China.

N. E.

This place might be my favourite place to eat in the world out of 3 countries i've been to. Shame they don't do delivery or I would order every day

K.

First time visit. I am loving this place already. Noodles are hand made on site. Dishes are yummy and of good values. If you like spicy food this the place. Staff are friendly too.

J. P.

Phenomenal food, cheap - every meal has been outstanding. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something different as it all is fantastic. Noodles are phenomenal and it's cheap for the quality and portion sizes. Don't be afraid to get wild with the vinegar and soy to add that extra depth of flavour. Must try.

R. D.

Excellent authentic food, great value for money and friendly service

L. H.

Great food, reasonable price!

O. L.

The noodles here are super tasty, and the portions are super generous. Amazing cheap eat in Auckland city. Approx $12 for a huge bowl of noodles. I highly recommend the hand pulled noodles with Xian style braised pork. Friendly service too! Can’t go wrong here if you’re hungry, or looking for a great meal on a shoestring budget.

C. P.

Their hand-pulled noodles in spicy sauce is incredibly good. Big portions.

F. N.

Great Hand Pulled Noodles, honest flavours. Fresh. Coming from someone with many years of eating Sichuan Spicy food. We ordered takeaway. Friendly service. Recommend the pork hand pulled noodles (spicy), lamb cumin noodles, and the cucumber Salad

T. B.

the food is more like home made, nothing fancy, but tasty. I really enjoyed it. But the room is shabby, needs a good clean and some decoration. Everything is too basic.

A. Y.

Get a cumin lamb burger to snack on if you’re ever feeling like something between a meal or a snack. Otherwise their hand pulled noodles are so chewy and doused generously in sauce. The price is just ridiculously justifiable and they’ve done some renovation so it’s a lot nicer than what it was before if you’re thinking of dining in. I’ve been to Xi’an and the food from this place is as authentic as it gets!

J. P.

My wife and I get cravings for this place once a couple of weeks. Something about the texture of the hand-pulled noodles, that just go so well with the braised pork with a tinge of spice. Really nothing like it. Don't let the outward appearances fool you. It looks really shabby and run down, but the food is always dependably good and the customer service is excellent compared to other Chinese places. Prices are also very good on a student budget.

J. B.

It's hard to go wrong here. The Chinese burgers always make me happy. Maybe stay away if you have any kind of food intolerance lol.

B. C.

Delicious. Love this place. The braised beef and handmade noodles is my fave dish

F. E.

This message comes from a place of love as Xi'an has, over the years, given me and my friend group so much joy, it truly does pain me to write such a review. Recently, Xi'an made the decision to leave the tables naked of condiments and rid its beloved #37 dish bare of bok choy. The decision to replace bok choy with cabbage has left many baffled and upon months on continuation, it is clear that this was not a seasonal change. To top off these decision made by the Xi'an executives, four of the last five times I have visited they have been out of stock of hand pulled noodles, a mistake like this can be forgiven once, maybe twice - but 4 times is, to be frank, utterly inept. The situation of out of stock hand pulled noodles is something that is the tip of the iceberg for the wider systemic issues of the Xi'an supply chain and logistics operations. My final point to raise, the proverbial grind of salt in the wound (salt that is now not placed on the tables but left for customers to serve their own), is that I arrived at Xi'an Dominion Road for a romantic date with my Main One at 8:50pm and they turned us away - despite the advertised closing time of 9:30pm. Xi'an, please, please, sort out your ways. I love you and I have sent countless people through your doors - if the service doesn't lift, my recommendations will become a reflection of myself and may adversely affect my tender confidence and esteem amongst my peers. With love, Frazer

We are regulars - the food for years is in consistent good taste. We normally order a Rou Jia Mo and beef noodle. My son loves cucumber. We also love Liang Pi. The prices are reasonable. Only down side is parking can be tricky in CBD area.

I. T.

This is probably the most unique Chinese restaurant I've visited. Most of the dishes were lamb based and it was super spicy. I tried their lamb burger (just $5 ). It was better than most traditional burgers and instead of buns they had some sort of flat bread which made the dish taste even better. My wife tried their lamb noodle soup which was good, but nothing to rave about. Overall this place has good food for cheap prices.

Y. B. T.

Great authentic Xi'an noodles. Friendly staff too!

G. W.

For takeaways at least, wow that #21 lamb broth and homemade noodles tasted good 🤤. The second pork one not as much, but loving the thick noodles. It's definitely older feeling inside and a bit unsightly, but for the food and price, it's worth coming back.

W. P.

Super yummy hand pulled noodles! Cucumber salad with chilli garlic oil a new discovery - a great compliment!

M. Z.

Amazing staff, they really know what they serve and they are happy to tell you something about it. We ate hand-pulled noodles with pork, some sour sauce and coriander, and it was a fantastic, authentic food. If you like real Chinese flavors, eat here!!!

Y. P.

The price for what you get is unbeatable. Hand pulled noodles and large, generous portions. I paid less than $12 for a huge bowl of noodles and pork.

J.

Very small place.not very clean but the noodles are very authentic. Great food

W. C.

Had handpulled noodle with braised pork. Nice spice. My parther had the spicy noodle soup. Good taste. My children had the mince pork noddle. The sauce was slightly in the salty side.

D. L.

Their noodles are amazing. The shop's environment has improved since I last visited, it's now a bit cleaner. Previously I would have taken a star off for the sticky floor, now it's a solid 4.

r. s.

The best thing to try here is the pulled pork with hand pulled noodles. This dish is flavorful and the noodles has a rich texture and the chilli oil with garlic adds an sumptuous taste.

R. K.

Their Hand Pulled Noodles with Xi'an style Braised Pork is GODLY! Couple that with their chilli sauce and OMG! I could eat that for days! It's also my wife's favourite dish. Also try their Chinese Burger with Braised Pork, Xi'an style Clear Jelly with Sauce, and their Sliced Beef with Ox Tongue in Chilli Sauce. Actually try them all! All of their branches are the same in terms of quality and quantity of food.

K. M.

Best Xi'an Restaurant outside of Shaanxi !!! ... My Chinese husband and I (a blonde aussie) dined at this restaurant for the first time two nights ago. It was so good we decided to go back the next night. ... The lamb cumin burger filling was the best Ive ever had (although I prefer a steamed bao, not a fried case) . The braised meat in noodle was incredibly flavoursome, and the cold noodle was just so good. The fresh hand pulled biang biang noodle was amazingly authentic. .... Yes, it doesnt look like much, and foreigners arent going to feel comfortable here. It pays if you are actually Chinese, because it seems the staff dont like foreigners. I absolutely loved the rawness and authenticity of a bare kitchen out in the open that you just dont get in the western world. Id get fat and happy on a daily diet of their noodles :) :)

M. B.

This is absolutely the best food I've had in Auckland. Great service, low prices, such an excellent restaurant. Every dish I've tried here has been amazing--especially the noodles. Best in the city!

I.

Delicious hand pulled noodles with just the right amount of chew, and very well seasoned braised pork lightened with fresh cilantro and bean sprouts.

T. B.

Not expensive and tasty hand made noodles.The place doesn't look like much but I would highly recommend trying the braised lamb burger and the pulled pork noodles (the portions are huge) !

H. H.

Love their Chinese burger, especially the pork one. Authentic and tasted exactly the same as the one I had in Xi An.

D. T.

Very simple place however food was very good. Would be great if they could introduce more vegetarian options, at the moment only 1 is available

S. B.

Not a lot of English on the menu, but go with your gut and pick from the pictures. They do noodles so well youd be hard pressed to go wrong

D. T.

Food so so...

(Translated) Lots of food on the plates with affordable prices. The food is spicy and is not like that of the Chinese restaurants in Spain, it seemed more real Chinese food. The noodles were good (2 and 28). And the cold meat salad (61) very rich. The tables were a little sticky and there are no services. Of the few stores open on 01/01/2018. (Original) Muchísima comida en los platos con precios asequibles. La comida es picante y no es como la de los restaurantes chinos que hay en España, está parecía comida china más real. Los noodle estaban buenos (2 y 28). Y la ensalada fría de carne (61) muy rica. Las mesas estaban un poco pegajosas y no hay servicios. De los pocos locales abiertos el 01/01/2018.

(Translated) Good stuff and good taste. I used to go to the most frequented shop. The last two visits really made me feel that the service was really bad. For the first time, I was a guest in the whole store, and the two shop assistants would rather play with my mobile phone than give me tableware. The second time, there was only one of my guests, who sat for 10 minutes. No one came up to say hello to me. I didn't even hand over the menu. Should never go again. I still gave you 3 stars for the delicious food. (Original) 东西不错，味道也很好，曾经我最常去的一家店，最近的两次拜访真的让我觉得服务真的变得很差很差。第一次，整个店就我一个客人，两个店员宁愿在那里玩手机也不给我餐具。第二次，只有我一个客人，坐了10分钟，没有一个人上来招呼我，连菜单都不递，玩手机的玩手机，聊天的聊天。应该不会再去了。看在东西还挺好吃的份上，还是给你打了3星
