This sentiment resonates across the reviews, with many praising the iconic Biang Biang noodles for their unique chewy texture and satisfying flavor.

One of the best Liang pi I've had, and the Biang Biang is also exceptional. My daughter enjoyed her non-spicy wonton soup making this is a family friendly choice. We will be back for more of the traditional Shanxxi food. Very reasonably priced too. FYI: the service is kinda meh, but I really don't care about service so it doesn't make a difference to me.

This is the MOST authentic Xian Shaanxi food I’ve never had in the states! The menu is extensive. Some said the rou jia mo (pork stuffed flatbreads), and pao mo (lamb stew with flatbread) here were even BETTER than the ones in China! The biang biang noodles were tasty and naturally vegan. There are vegan cold dishes as well. Hats off to the new ownership & management for the authenticity!

LOVED the classic liangpi and roujiamo. My only plead would be to leave the gluten pieces as bigger chunks instead of small dices _. The other hand pulled noodles tasted great as well. It was very convenient to order with the QR code at the table and see pictures of the items. Definitely will be back to try out more items on the menu.

Best Chinese noodle place in Austin. This restaurant recently changed ownership so ignore all the reviews from before 2025. It's now run by a couple who brings authentic Shaanxi regional cuisine, something the Austin area is seriously lacking. All of the flavors are spot on. The menu selection offers noodle dishes you can't get anywhere else in Austin bc most of our Chinese restaurants here lean towards Sichuan or Cantonese food. The wide noodles are handmade and cooked to an excellent texture. The spiciness is well-balanced and not overwhelming. The service is fast and the prices are very reasonable. We tried so many dishes: 1. The Traditional Liang Pi (#3) is highly recommended. The flavor and textures are on point with what you'd get in China. We asked for the cucumbers on the side and they were very accommodating 2. The #37 (Highly recommended hand-made noodles with pork, vegetable, tomato and egg sauce) is a must try. It takes the toppings from their three main noodle dishes and puts them all onto one. It sounds weird but they balance each other out into an absolutely fragrant dish. Highly recommended indeed! 3. The #28 (Spicy Hot Oil Seared Stewed Pork Hand Made Noodles) is the pure pork version of the #37. It's good but I think having the other two toppings elevates the flavor 4. The #42 (Classic Hand Made Beef Noodles) is the best beef noodle soup in Austin according to my Taiwanese husband who is super picky about his beef noodle soup. This place is on par with good noodle places we've had in NYC and Bay Area. We don't live close by but will come by regularly bc I absolutely love noodles.

We are so glad Austin now has this amazing, authentix Xian restaurant in addition to 2000 other Westernized places. We really recommend trying their liangpi and any handmade noodle dish. The noodles are heavenly thick and springy, extremely satisfying. The roujiamo (Chinese burgers), smashed cucumber salad, and tofu with 1000year egg are also delicious. Don't be afraid if you can't handle the spice just yet. They are willing to put chili sauce on the side for some dishes if possible. Sometimes they can be busy (with the food quality, of course), but everyone here always tries their best to make us happy.

Absolutely blown away by the food here. The pig ear was perfect texture for me( my husband would have preferred it to be sliced thinner). The meat was so tender and the mixture of peanuts, cilantro, onion, and celery was such a pleasant texture combo. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little spicier. 4/5 The Chinese hamburger/ classic stewed pork was so close to being perfect. The pork was so flavorful I could have eaten a whole bowl of it. The flatbread is what I’m sadly docking points on, it was good but I wish that it was crispier to add that nice contrast with the softer texture of the pork and crispiness of bread. Would I get it again? Absolutely. 4.5/5 The biang biang noodles oh my god they were amazing. We got the highly recommended noodles with pork and the cumin marinated beef with biang biang noodles. In my book both of these are 5/5 but I will say that I preferred the flavor of the marinated beef noodles versus the recommended noodles. On the other hand I loved the texture diversity of the recommended noodles. The thickness of the veggies, the bouncy texture of the noodles, and the soft texture from the tomato. 5/5 We arrived at around 1:20pm on a Saturday and waited about 20-25 minutes to be seated but honestly for the quality of the food it was worth it. We did have a little bit of a wait for food but I think it was just the time we went, how busy it was, and the freshness of the food. Also note that they switched owners about 3 weeks ago at the time of this review so try to ignore any negative reviews before 2025. I can’t wait to come back and taste more dishes from here.

As a huge noodle lover myself, I rushed over there later that evening with my dining group so we could eat. My biggest worry was that there would be a long line and we would have to wait. Fortunately, that wasn't the case but the tables were all filled with other Asians ordering noodles from the newly revamped menu. I ordered the traditional Biang Biang Spicy Handmade Noodles. The noodles were wide and chewy, the exact type of noodles that I enjoy and was searching for. I do recommend mixing the noodles with the vinegar sauce at the bottom so you get the full flavor of the dish. But I must warn you, the spice level on it was fire . On future orders, I may ask request for the spiciness to be toned down for mine because I was downing water like mad and reaching for the napkins constantly. Also tried out the Handmade Noodles with Pork, Vegetable, Tomato & Egg Sauce. This dish allowed me to try out multiple flavors at once so I could get a feel of their offerings. The pork belly was a bit dry for my taste, I prefer the melt in your mouth kind that is cooked in a slow gentle braise, but I understand that it could be time consuming in the kitchen compared to a quick stir fry. The tomato and egg sauce was good and the vegetables consisted primarily of bok choy and potatoes, which I enjoyed. They used the same exact spice as for the Biang Biang noodles, so I would recommend skipping the spice if you don't like spicy food. It was essentially the Biang Biang noodle dish with pork belly, potatoes, and eggs & tomatoes added on top. In my rush to order, I accidentally ordered the stir-fried Liang Pi instead of the traditional Liang Pi dish that I had intended to, but it was still tasty . The staff did confirm that they launched this new menu just one week ago to gauge interest in food from their hometown. I informed them that I would definitely return to try out the other handmade noodle dishes at the restaurant and for them to please continue offering authentic hand-pulled noodles as there aren't a lot of options in the Austin area! It Saves me from making a trip to Dallas and Houston.

Delicious!!! Will come back again! Food ratio to price was fair! The dishes were flavorful and freshly made. Get the crispy spicy chicken, cumin beef biang biang noodles, and beef tripe noodle soup.
