"Xi’an Noodles has been slinging some of the city’s best Chinese food since it opened on the Ave in 2016, with success bringing more recent expansions to downtown’s Westlake Center and Bellevue. Bowls of wide, hand-pulled biang-biang noodles are made from scratch every day. They’re delightfully springy, and the simplicity of hot chile oil showcases their texture best, though meat toppings like spicy cumin lamb are also available." - Jay Friedman
