Signature biang biang noodles, lamb burgers, and hearty stews
"A San Gabriel spot representing regional Chinese noodles—specifically the expansive, hand-pulled and broad-noodle traditions affiliated with Xi’an cuisine in the SGV." - Eater Staff
"You can hear the sound of noodles being slapped and pounded from the parking lot of this San Gabriel noodle joint hidden near the back of a two-story shopping plaza. Their Xi’an lamb noodles marry the gaminess of lamb with fiery Sichuan peppers and tangy black vinegar. Although the flavor is balanced and delicious, the bite of the wide, flat noodles is unrivaled—bouncy, springy, and wonderfully chewy. We prefer to skip the soups here and go for dry and stir-fried noodles, which really let the “QQ” texture of the noodles shine." - kat thompson
"It’s easy to miss the stir-fried pork intestines at this San Gabriel hand-pulled noodle specialist serving a very lengthy menu. But the intestines are worth seeking out. Wok-fried with enough dried chiles and Sichuan peppercorns to set one’s mouth afire, the intestines deliver a pleasant chew and satisfying burn." - Cathy Chaplin
"With no signage facing busy Valley Boulevard, this Shaanxi-style restaurant in San Gabriel has a fairly wide, barely used dining room serving classics like hand-pulled biang biang noodles and big platters of thinner wheat noodles swimming in spicy lamb-laced broth." - Eater Staff
