Description




What began as a single street cart is now a family-run fixture celebrated for its authentic Xi'an-style recipes. The menu extends to spicy cumin lamb burgers, dumplings, and a proprietary chili oil made with over 30 ingredients. While the intense, numbing heat defines many dishes, reviews note that the default spice level can sometimes mask the underlying flavors; fortunately, the kitchen allows diners to dial down the heat to a milder level. Filling beef noodles and cups of chrysanthemum tea offer a reliable way to round out the meal.
