Xian Sushi And Noodle - Austin

Google biang biang noodles, asked some people where In Austin you get hand pulled biang biang noodles they said here.Ordered biange biang noodles. Got Garlic bok choy soba noodlesAlso the tiramisu is rock hard frozenThe fried tofu is super good though

I dined in here and ordered two rolls during lunch that was supposed to be 13＄. The server took forever to bring out my food then I waited awhile for the food. However upon paying for my order I kept the receipt and noticed the money in taken from my bank account was not the total at the restaurant. They charged me 38＄ and then refused to identify the charges. For whatever reason they never provided a reason as to why this occurred. Be wary of this place. They run backend charges or add extra items to your bill after payment.

No idea how this place would have 4 star. I would give 0 if I could. The food does not taste fresh, especially the chicken feet taste very old and dry. After informing the server, they insisted that’s how they taste. The ribs taste fatty, and chewy. I ordered a lot of food to try, but ended up with tons of leftover. They charge for to go box without letting you know first. Not recommend this place.Update: We got food poisoning the same night. I guess when you suspect something is not fresh, shouldn’t eat them. Terrible!

Was a really great stop for lunch today mid-shopping.Quick and polite service, super solid food (I had the ginger broccoli with beef), and ella fitzgerald radio.Seat cushions were a little light on cushioning and table could have felt cleaner (it was definitely sanitized but not fine dining pristine).Solid spot that I'll remember for next time!

It has been several years since I've written a review for Yelp, but Xian Noodles made me come out of my self imposed retirement just to spout off. Having had Xian Noodles a few times at their old location which this location appears to have replaced , I thought I had a pretty good idea what I was getting into: somewhat overpriced but good quality, tasty Chinese with interesting options as well as semi decent sushi. Now they're just overpriced. Starved, I ordered a few different items for the fam: Dan Dan Noodles, mapo tofu, soup dumplings and sesame chicken for the kids. The only item that seemed to match the flavor and quality the price demanded were the dan dan noodles. The sesame chicken for Americanized Chinese food was as good as you'd expect anywhere else, but for a few dollars more. The soup dumplings tasted fine but they also seemed reheated and since they were takeaway, had slid together and combined into one giant mega dumpling that was difficult to eat properly. Not their fault, but I have to wonder if they're any better in the restaurant itself. Since this was takeaway, the rice for each dish was packaged up in to go containers. But when you imagine a Chinese rice to go container, how large are you imagining? Are you imagining a tiny box barely large enough to fit a fortune cookie? If so, you win this round. Never have I seen such a stingy portion of rice. You would have thought they were rationing for the end times. Two of these mini cartons, with enough rice for half of a dish. But the insult to my favorite dish was the mapo tofu. I can only imagine this is not something regularly ordered, or the only dude who knew how to make it was out that night. This is not a dish you get a lot of deviations from, in my experience. What I expected was the dish that has been consistent across multiple restaurants for years now. What I got was a giant bowl of what looked like 90% chili oil and 10% dishwater. Floating inside the thin, greasy broth were a bare few chunks of tofu, and weirdly sparse ground pork both of which are normally the stars of the show. The bulk of the dish instead was made up of limp bok choy ??? which I've never seen added to this dish and was flavorless and slimy from the oil. The whole thing came across as a bowl of leftover grease and tasted like it, not the thickened, curry like tofu dish I was expecting. This was an abomination. I managed to eat a couple of pieces of tofu before giving up. It was nasty. Is this an outsized, dramatic reaction to one bad dish? Maybe but for nearly $100 after tip, I could have spent a third of that at our nearby Chinese takeout and actually eaten what I ordered. We had gone to Xian specifically because someone had a craving for their noodles, and maybe that was where we f'd up not ordering noodles all around instead of rolling the dice. But if you have something on your menu, maybe know how to make it? Or if this is some special deviation, maybe have someone tell you it's good before you slop it out to customers? In closing, Xian probably has a few things that keep people coming back but I certainly won't be.
