I am from Xi’an and can attest to how authentic this place is! Everything I had was amazing, from the cold skin noodles that were perfectly seasoned and tangy to the hand-pulled noodles with various toppings that were so delicious! Highly recommend!

All the food I grew up with! Fresh made hand pulled noodles with delicious sauce. Highly recommend the Tomato Egg Noodles and beef noodle soup. The food comes out so quick and in such big portions! We were wimps and couldn’t handle the spice level. So be careful when you ask for 🌶️! It was also cool to see this mom and pop place show up on our favorite Netflix show.

Big Dan Xi-An Cuisine – A Hidden Gem for Authentic Northwestern Chinese Flavors Tucked inside the Shun Fat Supermarket at Pacific Asian Plaza, Big Dan Xi-An Cuisine is a hidden gem offering traditional, no-frills Northwestern Chinese food, especially the distinct flavors of Xi’an cuisine. While the location is a bit hidden, the restaurant has a prominent sign outside that helps guide first-timers. Once you step into the market, head to the left side to find the restaurant. Atmosphere The setup is simple and casual, with just a handful of tables and chairs. The dining area isn’t large, so expect potential wait times during peak hours. Still, the staff are welcoming and helpful, eager to walk you through the menu and recommend popular dishes. What to Eat Cold Noodles with Sesame Sauce: A crowd favorite, often sold out if you arrive late. It’s savory, slightly spicy, and has a signature nutty sesame aroma—a refreshing choice for any time of day. Chinese Pork Hamburger (Roujiamo): A crispy flour-based bun stuffed with juicy diced pork. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside—this is a must-try for first-time visitors. Lamb Soup: Surprisingly light and clean-tasting, not as gamey as I originally thought. Loaded with vegetables, tofu, glass noodles, and thin lamb slices, it's a warm and comforting option, served with an extra flatbread for dipping. It’s also a relatively healthy choice on the menu. There are also a variety of noodle dishes, ranging from light to heavily seasoned, and word is they’re all deliciously crafted and true to their Xi’an roots. Final Thoughts Aside from the modest setting, Big Dan Xi-An Cuisine delivers exceptional value and authenticity. Whether you're craving a quick, hearty meal or looking to dive into regional Chinese specialties, this spot is absolutely worth seeking out. A true hidden treasure for Chinese food lovers in the area!

Authentic Xi’an flavors at their best! The hand-pulled noodles are perfectly chewy, the broth and sauces are rich and aromatic, and every bite is bursting with spice and depth. Feels just like eating in China—absolutely delicious!
