"Cantonese or sichuan dishes may be more abundant in Atlanta, but the city isn’t limited to the two regional cuisines. Enter Xi’an Gourmet House in Midtown—a small but mighty venue with the same outstanding quality as their original (and very popular) Duluth location. Their biang biang hand-pulled noodle selection (specifically the dry spicy cumin lamb version) should get a golden noodle plaque or some kind of best-in-class designation. And if your eyes gravitate toward the “burger” part of their menu, don’t resist. They’re actually rou jia mo, and these meat-in-a-bun snacks make the perfect appetizer as you wait on your noodles to cool. Even though most people come here for takeout, Xi’an has free parking (with their menu code) and is a chill place to post up for lunch in the usually hectic Midtown." - candy hom
