"Founded as a pop-up in early 2020 by chef Robert Lee (who previously worked in San Sebastian, New York City, and Los Angeles), the shop opened its first permanent Citizen Public Market location in 2023. It specializes in Xi’an-style biang-biang mian, with a signature tingly cumin lamb noodle tossed in chile oil, and has since expanded the menu to include Xi’an tomato noodles and Szechuan garlic noodles. The Culver Citizen Public Market outpost will close at the end of June (announced via Instagram on June 22), while the Downtown LA location will remain open." - Rebecca Roland
