Xi'an Cuisine

Chicago’s Best Chinese Restaurants

"With locations in Chinatown and West Loop, Xi’an Cuisine is not just about the menu, but the talent in the kitchen to properly execute it. That means fried dishes are crispy, not scorched. Sauces are seasoned appropriately and chicken isn’t served overcooked and stringy. There’s both a more traditional X’ian menu section with noodles and an American Chinese section. Curiously, there’s a special stir-fried beef dish called the Moshe Moshe, named after the True West Loop Facebook group moderator. It’s a crispy, sweet, savory mix that’s worth ordering. Owners say it’s more labor-intensive than other dishes, hence the extra few dollars. It’s worth it." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
