delicious food, but the staff is a bit inattentive. I asked for tea, but they brought me water. Mongolian beef is very tasty.

Authentic Xi'an and Sichuan cuisine. Hand pull wide noodles are delicious. Lots of spicy dishes for spicy food lovers.

Adding upon an earlier review -- Salt pepper smelt (3/5): The fish was too strongly fried and tough to chew. I felt like the flavor profile was more dominated by the breading used to fry the smelt than the smelt itself. Fish fillet in chili oil (4/5): The texture of the fish was good, though I would have preferred it without the breading on the outside and for the chef to use a little less oil.

Very clean and super fast service! The cold dish and cold noodle (liangpi) came out in less than 5 mins after ordering. Everything came out within 10 minutes of ordering! Try the pick 3 side dishes for $14.99, they give you large portions and it's a great way to try different side dishes. We got (seaweed, shredded vinegar potato, and pig ears). All three had great flavors and was perfect to get you ready to eat more. The liangpi or cold noodles are a xi'an classic and the gluten squares soaks up the sauce perfectly. Make sure you add chili oil to really bring out the flavor! Lamb skewers was very fresh but a bit sweet I think the chef may have westernized it a bit to fit the western pallet. The meat on the skewers were well cooked and generous in portion. The biang biang noodles is a must, especially if you like the chewy hand pulled noodles! Very authentic in taste. We also ordered a lamb guabao or lamb stuffed bun but it was eaten so fast no picture was available. 100% get the stuff bun! Over all it was a great experience and I only taken some points off because of how lightly seasoned the liangpi and lamb skewers were. I was craving a heavy seasoned sodium bomb of a meal today so it may have impacted the decision a bit. But the light season makes the meal healthier so it may appeal to others. One thing to remember, driving in may be a bit confusing because of all the constructions. All in all, definitely check this place out for some authentic Xi'an food!

You know the food will be good at an Asian restaurant when most of the patrons are Asian! That's all we saw when tried this place for the first time... So we were optimistic upon arrival. Our server was nice but I I'm not 100% sure he understood my questions clearly enough to provide guidance on food selections. So we went with dishes we "knew". The food was good, especially the Mongolian beef. The smelt was okay, but I prefer the smaller, crispier smelt I've had at other places. The noodle dish was very good, particularly the texture of the noodles themselves. I believe the noodles are made from scratch. The sauce was tomato vs. soy sauce based. It was tasty, just different. The portions were healthy and we had leftovers for another meal. If you are in the neighborhood.... Give it a try!

Went here a second time since my fiancé and I were around the area. This time we seat down and ate inside the restaurant. Let me tell you it was PACKED. However, we were seated right away and also got our food quickly too. We ordered the crab Rangoon, pork shrimp siomai and biang biang noodles. Honestly, you can skip out on the appetizers. The noodles were the star of the show! I'm a home cook and tried making this before but I can't get the texture right. These fresh noodles were amazing and chewy. We ordered spicy but it wasn't too spicy to be honest. Really good service despite being busy and inexpensive too. I would come here again.

Ambiance: 5/5 We came on a Monday around 4:45pm and were the only ones inside until around an hour later hahah. The inside was pretty spacious and would be great for groups of friends or even for a date. Service: 2/5 We were a little disappointed with service today because we had brought in a small bottle of beer and no one mentioned anything about a $15 BYOB fee to us until we were about to order. We had already been given glasses for it and were drinking it before all three servers rushed over and hassled us about the fee lol. In the end, we compromised and they said they will waive the fee if we ordered two beers. The whole interaction was just not the most professional and could have definitely been handled better, but it is what it is. Food: 5/5 Everything was so delicious!! Our favorites included the cabbage (MUST TRY!), lamb neck in tomato broth (it's a special order and not always available), and the lamb stir fry. The only dish that wasn't good were the cucumbers. It's legit just some chopped up cucumbers (not marinated or anything) with some black vinegar; do not recommend getting lol. We also tried the passion fruit green tea which was refreshing and not too sweet. Overall, we would definitely come back and try other yummy dishes.

We ordered take out from here on a Wednesday around noon. The guy who answered the phone was very friendly and great to talk to. Food only took around 20 minutes after we ordered for it to be ready. When we brought the food back everything was very well and tightly packaged. We shared the following items: DRY CHILI CHICKEN: Great item! Chicken is well fried and the chilis really make it so fragrant. BIANG BIANG NOODLES: The noodles are perfectly cooked and the large surface area really soaks up the sauce. The meat both ways in the noodles are tasty and love that there was also some bok choy as well. Definitely get this dish. SALTED EGG YOLK EGGPLANT: I've always been a huge fan of salted egg yolk eggplant but unfortunately this was not that good. It is way too sweet but at least the eggplant is well cooked. SHRIMP AND PORK WONTON: Ehh the wontons are just ok, more skin than meat unfortunately. The soup itself is light and nice though. All in all, a solid lunch option in the area!

Not ganna lie, I was very impressed with this place considering it being in Naperville. I had a nice dinner with my friend :) The layout inside is pretty spacious with awesome art on the walls. The place slowly filled with locals and their families - there were lots of kids running around. The food was really good and tasted authentic. It's fall now so soup was the way to go. I got the shrimp and pork wonton soup (small size). The small is more than enough for 1 person - waiter said the small has 10 wontons. I added chili oil for spiciness and color because this soup is naturally not spicy. Overall very delicious and I would recommend to anyone who lives in Naperville looking for authentic asian cuisine!
