Description

This Western Chinese spot leans into the savory, cumin-heavy flavors of the Xi'an region. Beyond the signature hand-ripped bowls, the menu features Liang-Pi cold skin noodles and dumplings. The taste profile is mature and savory—not sweet like typical Chinese-American fare—with a heavy presence of oil and spice. You can opt for less oil and order via touchscreen. While the burgers are popular, some diners note inconsistencies in their meat-to-fat ratio. Ultimately, it is a menu built for those who appreciate a baseline of spice, keeping prices low through a limited menu and quick self-service.
