The 36 Best Restaurants In Chinatown - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This spot on Cermak has some great noodle dishes, and that’s what you should focus on when you’re here. Particularly the lamb soup with hand-stretched noodles or the biang biang noodles with pork, tomato, egg, and beef, both of which have a lot of flavor and just the right amount of spice." - adrian kane, john ringor

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

The 21 Best Chinese Restaurants In Chicago

"Head to this small spot in Chinatown for a casual lunch or dinner with some excellent Xi’an food. Whether it’s a solo meal or you’re hanging with friends, start things off with some tender and smoky lamb skewers or rou jia mo. These flatbread burgers are stuffed with either beef, pork, or lamb, and always have a crispy crust and pillowy inside. But as tempting as it is to load up on appetizers, don’t. Save room for the main event: spicy, cumin biang biang noodles that are hand-pulled and have an incredibly bouncy chew that makes them fun to eat." - john ringor, adrian kane

The Best West Loop Restaurants in Chicago | Eater Chicago

"Chinese sandwiches get top billing at Xi’an Cuisine, which also operates a Chinatown location. Constructed from fresh flatbreads stuffed with savory marinated pork and cumin lamb, they’re a delightful on-ramp for newcomers to the street food of China’s northern region. Other favorites include chewy biangbiang noodles and lamb soup." - Naomi Waxman

I would say for nothern chinese street food. This place is pretty decent. And better than their location in chinatown. Their chilly oil crisp that comes with the cold rice noodle was very good! However they really should have added more black vinegar and shredded cucumber to the dish to make it more authentic. I had to add black vinegar and scallions to the dish myself to make it more tasty. But as I said, they have very good chilly oil crisp! Their crunchy flatbread (肉夹馍) was authentic and I really liked the marinated pork stuffing. It is a decent place to get some chinese street food and bbq skewers.

Great noodles and appetizers. Lots of seating in here. The menu choices are a bit wild as there are so many choices. I suggest: - biang biang noodles as they were excellent - string beans - pancake appetizer with beef They let us sit for a few hours enjoying good conversation! And kept filling up our tea. Would go back

Their food was delicious, and the portion sizes were huge. You could easily share a plate between two or more people. The prices are definitely worth it for how much food you get. The service was absolutely lovely and attentive, which made the experience even better. They have so many yummy dishes, and I can’t wait to bring my friends and family next time! There's also a good amount of seating, so it's great for groups.

I got the Dan Dan Noodles with pork and added beef and a lamb skewer. I had hot tea due to a sore throat The food was ok. Not the best. I personally think it was just the choice i made. I wanted to try the Biang Biang Noodle since it had great reviews but i couldnt wrap my mind around tomato and egg with my noodles Great atmosphere. Great, attentive servers The beef was very tender but also very fatty

Attentive and friendly service. Decent food and nice flavors that blended well with the spice. Noodles were a nice consistency in terms of absorbing the sauces and the bite having a balance of crunch and softness. The Mala Spicy Pot dish had a nice mix of veggies and protein choice (I got fish). Portion sizes fit for 2 people at reasonable prices.

I came back! I've been thinking about how delicious and unique the food was here, so I was glad to have an opportunity to return. This time we had hot and sour soup, sushi, and lamb with wide noodles in a pork broth. YUM! What an amazing place. Chinese food with unusual dishes. We were a group of four old ladies who went there for our ladies' luncheon. Each of us truly enjoyed our dishes. I had a lamb flatbread and lamb skewers. Both were soooo delicious! Don't be fooled by the entrance, which is a shared entrance. The place is immaculate. The service was awesome. And the food! Oh my. A great place to grab a quick lunch or a nice relaxing dinner.

I went to Xi'an due to a local's recommendation and I can truly say the food and service was top notch. It was a cold and snowy day in Chicago and I felt welcomed by the staff and they took care of me. I knew I wanted to try the hand pulled noodles and they recommended the biang biang noodles and I saw someone had the cumin lamb flatbread so I had to try that. Both dishes were flavorful, well cooked and it felt like I was in their home. I will definitely be back next time to try other dishes. But if you're in Chicago and want some well cooked Chinese dishes that aren't your run of the meal options you can't go wrong. The only comment is you need to go into a building that looks like a barber more than the restaurant but once you go in you will see their door. A bit of a hidden gem.

This is not your typical Chinese restaurant, though they also serve the usual American Chinese dishes. The menu is extensive but divided into regions. My favorite is the Xi'an section. The Biang Biang noodles and roujiamo (flatbread) are uniquely delicious. I also have the edamame spring rolls and of course a bottle of Tsing Tao Beer. Parking is kinda bit challenging but for good food, it's not a hassle.

the Xi'an Cuisine of West Loop is the epitome of a hidden gem. hidden beneath scaffolding and behind a shared vestibule of multiple other establishments, this place is unassuming and easy to pass by. this is your sign NOT to pass it by. we popped in with a craving for authentic chinese and we were not disappointed. this spot offers a full sushi menu plus chinese cuisine broken down by region -- from szechuan to xi'an to american. you want beef & broccoli? they've got it. you want tomato & egg stir fry? they've got that too -- and you should totally get it, because it was our favorite dish of the night. the staff was so friendly and made sure to point to every item we ordered on their tablet to ensure there was no miscommunication. the small space fits plenty of tables. we took our time here, but tables rotated in and out around us. (clearly this hidden gem was not so hidden to some!) the only reason this is not a 5 star review is that our soup dumplings were a little undercooked, leaving the "soup" more of an ice cube inside the dumpling. but we tossed them in the next steamer basket with the peking duck (which was PERFECT, for a great price) thawing them out and in the end, we were still fully satisfied. overall, excellent service, excellent quality, and a price you won't beat. this hole in the wall just became our new go-to.

My braised pork soup was very yummy! A much needed homey meal after a long day in the city. The lamb soup is definitely an acquired taste... was kind of bland with a hearty undertone? The crispy pork was soooo fatty and crispy, exactly what we wanted! The restaurant's decoration is very unique LOL they had three types of chandeliers and LOTS of red everywhere. The service was mediocre at best. Took us forever to order and pay because no one came by.

Not the greatest entry but once inside and seated all was good. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. I went with the Szechuan beef with rice and it was delicious. My daughter ordered the shrimp fried rice and loved it. The price was great and the serving sizes were great. Good stuff.

Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 3 Food Quality: 4 Customer Service: 4 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 4 Thank you, Come Again?: 4 It's currently 15° in Chicago and I'm craving for something warm and soothing to combat the cold weather. I first stumbled upon a nearby Ramen shop but ended up leaving because the customer service resulted in a poor and inattentive experience. Fortunately I was able to come across Xi'an cuisine. The restaurant did not disappoint. When you arrive at the shop, make sure to go up the stairs and the entrance will be on your left side. There is also an elevator option for those who can't use the stairs. Kudos for accessibility points. Biang Biang Noodles: $15 - the Noodles comes in different levels of spice. You can get the dish in mild, medium, or spicy. The noodles themselves were thick and chewy. The server recommended the wide version in comparison to the thin noodles for the specific dish. According to the menu, the noodles were handmade and pulled in the kitchen. I've had Biang Biang noodles before and felt that Xi'an's version was comparable. This dish comes with baby, bok choy, braised beef (that was cooked till tender), tofu, and chili peppers. This dish was perfect to warm up any stomach that has been outside in the Chicago cold chill weather. House Milk Tea with Tapioca pearls: $6.25 - surprisingly the tapioca pearls were chewy and a little bit overcooked. I typically don't mind pearls that are slightly overcooked in comparison to undercooked. The tea itself had a robust flavor. Nowadays, you can find Boba tea at the price range of $7 to $12. Xi'an's version will satisfy any cravings but don't expect it to be at at the level of house made premium tapioca pearls from places like Xing Fu Tang. Overall, I would return for more Biang Biang noodles if I happen to be around in the area. My biggest concern was the furniture in the restaurant was oily and sticky. My recommendation is for the staff to do a deep clean of the restaurant. The customer service was attentive and quick. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the sips and trips

There is so much of the menu to explore but I love the cumin lamb and hand pulled noodles and the BBQ potato skewers on a stick, they're great for takeout and quite economical - lasted me around 3 meals! Super flavorful.

Ambiance: 4/5 The restaurant is not too big, but was cozy enough. Service: 5/5 All the servers were attentive and helpful. Food: 3/5 We had high expectations coming in but the food was honestly a let down for the most part. We got the Cumin Lamb Flatbread as an appetizer. Although the flavor and crunch was definitely there, it came out barely warmed. It was a little off putting, but still yummy. We got the Biang Biang Mian and Lamb Intestine Noodles Soup. The Biang Biang Mian had a nice smokiness with thick, hand stretched noodles. However, both noodle dishes really lacked flavor, especially the Lamb Intestines one. It's like the chef forgot to add salt/ seasoning to it. We had to load both dishes up with their salt and chili oil to be able to eat them. I guess we were just expecting more of a flavor bomb since it's supposed to be Xi'An Cuisine.

****Looking for homemade noodles? **** Food - 5/5 I ordered their lamb noodles, and it is absolutely delicious. The noodles are fresh and the soup filled with flavour with green onion and cilantro. Service: 5/5 The server checked in with us very frequently and the food came in fast. They reserved a table for us as we called in to book a table. Ambiance: 5/5 The restaurant looks clean and there is no line. Price: 5/5 Price is good and fair!

We got the boiled fish, cumin lamb flatbread , biang biang noodles, and stir fried cabbage. I like how they organize the dishes into American Chinese, Szechuan, and Xi'an food on the menu. We got dishes from each of those categories. The cumin lamb flatbread and biang biang noodles are classic and must-gets if it's your first time here. The flavor of the cumin lamb inside the crispy flatbread is perfect. Biang biang noodles are fresh and delicious in that sweet savory broth. Boiled fish was textbook. Cabbage was tasty but too salty. I was impressed with the rice which was clumpy and not mushy. Service was good. I like that they have different tables for different size groups. Ample street parking in the area.

A new location that opened up in West Loop with their primary location in Chinatown. As the namesake, they specialize in Xi'an food, from the western part of China, a region that is famous for its rich complex flavors, spices and noodle dishes. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 9/10 The restaurant is set in the heart of West Loop and has a modern twist interior with traditional flair. Overall, seating can accommodate 40-50 people people for dine in. SERVICE: 8/10 Friendly staff and fusion of modern/traditional setting that I felt very welcomed coming into to dine in. The waiter was helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. Food was prepared quickly and came out without a hitch. FOOD: 8/10 Biang Biang Mian - 8/10 - A traditional Xi'an dish with noodles and a very scant broth that is supposed to be spicy and flavorful with some ground meat. It was done quite well and very authentically! Beef Noodle Soup - 8/10 - Brothy beef noodle soup that had a good combination of spice and flavor. Shredded Potatoes - 9/10 - A simple dish made with potatoes that are shredded and tossed in with vinegar and chile peppers. It is supposed to be spicy and balanced out with the tartness of the vinegar. Despite the simple ingredients of the dish, it can often be quite hard to make. They nailed this one. Jasmine Tea Boba - 8/10 - Great boba for a place where this is not its specialty. VALUE: 8/10 PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10 Been back a few times already. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Chow down! OVERALL: 8/10 - absolute highest 8/10 though, borderline 9/10

I've discovered this place randomly in Naperville and loved it! Recently found out there's a location in downtown Chicago near H mart. The atmosphere is casual and the entrance is unassuming, near to the highway entrance. That's prob how I missed the place all these years in Chicago! Service was what you'd expect at a authentic Chinese restaurant. Biang Biang Noodles - filled with flavors and so authentic, this dish has all the colors and is very hearty Lamb Intestine Noodles soup - this dish came with lamb meat and lamb intestines, tastes similar to a bone broth with a strong lamb flavor I'm very happy we ordered these two together, they balance each other out very well

I highly recommend the tofu noodles and the salt and pepper tofu. The tofu noodles are so flavorful with the numbing Sichuan chili oil and the salt and pepper tofu are so wonderfully coated with a slightly crispy exterior and soft tofu interior. The flatbreads were also extremely flavorful, albeit a tiny bit too salty. For all of the noodle dishes, the noodles were delicious and wonderfully hand pulled but all of the sauces were just okay. The service was quick but the wait staff were quite rude. We were rushed multiple times to order and when asking for recommendations, the wait staff were quite rude and would not give any recommendations. When repeating the order back, they were quite demeaning and belittling, even though the entire transaction was in the native tongue. All in all, I would recommend any dish except the noodles and maybe for takeout as the dine in experience was less than friendly.

My friend suggested this place and I enjoyed the spicy beef noodles here. Quality- the broth is flavorful, noodles absorb the flavor well and aren't tough to bite into, and the meat is sliced thick and savory. This is their top noodle dish and it is very good. Quantity-the quantity is a bit lacking. For 20 dollars, I would have liked more noodle or meat. A couple dumplings here are pretty expensive. Service- it is basically self serve which is ok. I enjoy being able to get my own tea and water. Atmosphere- the place is a bit small. I wish it was bigger to alleviate the long line. I like the homey feel of the place a lot.

Oh my word, the food here is amazing!! We came here on a Monday night around 7PM and honestly thought the place was closed. The sign for the restaurant is pretty obvious but once you go into the building, the restaurant is kind of tucked away on the second floor right next to a Philly cheesesteak place. We were seated immediately, it was honestly kind of empty inside so we were scared about what we were getting ourselves into. You have to scan a QR code to see the menu. There's sooooo many options listed on there and there's even a dinner combo plate you can get that comes with an entree, fried rice and egg roll. Now on to the good part, the food!! I ordered the Mongolian Tofu stir fry and sautéed green beans which came with white rice! It was delicious!!! The green beans were crispy and not soggy at all. The tofu was seasoned so well and delicious and tasted fresh. The portions are fairly large so I even had some of it left to take home. Honestly, I loved this restaurant and am glad we live so close by! It's even walking distance to H-Mart which is a plus! Will definitely be coming back

One of my favorites places to dine. Good quality food at amazing prices and great service . Their hand pulled noodles are a must order. We ordered the crab Rangoon, spicy chicken noodle and general tso chicken lunch special. The crab Rangoon was amazing , loved the crispy texture and the creamy, savory filling. The spicy chicken noodle is my absolute favorite. It is a bowl of fiery goodness. You have to try it to believe it. The lunch special of general tso chicken was also really good. The portion size is big and can be easily shared. Good variety of Chinese - American dishes. Check it out and enjoy delicious food and good service.

After many years of driving past this restaurant, I finally stopped in based on a coworker's recommendation. I ordered the garlic noodles with jumbo shrimp. It as very tasty, but too oily. I also ordered the vegetable egg rolls which I DID NOT enjoy at all. The sweet sauce was awful or old. The restaurant is quite large and clean. I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan.

I ordered the hand pulled noodle with lamb per my friend's recommendation who's a typical goer at this restaurant. The meaty broth was a bit underwhelming to me with gamey notes. It also comes with thin strips of tofu skin, but I thought it added very little flavor to the soup. I ordered a large bowl and there was a lot of noodle and soup but little amount of meat. Next time I'd order a small bowl and pay for extra meat instead. I'd also love to come back here and try their fried noodles options. I also ordered a house special milk tea less iced and 50% sugar level and thought it was okay/slightly below average.

My kid moved into to UIC and we walked to this place. What a find!! The menu is varied and everything we had was great. Also, there was a real understanding of hospitality on display.

I recently tried the hand-pulled noodles and salt and pepper tofu at this place. The hand-pulled noodles were truly amazing, with a perfect texture and delicious flavor. The salt and pepper tofu is tasty too. The ambiance and service were pretty ordinary, but the noodles made the dining experience worthwhile.

I strictly order the Biang Biang noodles from here, and I've never been disappointed. The wide noodles have such good texture! I always wish that there's more braised beef in the dish, but they typically go somewhat light on the toppings. Whatever sauce they're using is so flavorful, but beware that on delivery, if it gives you the choice "mild" on the options, on the receipt, it'll say "slightly spicy" or something like that hahaha. They don't play around with spice here, the "mild" kicks my butt anytime I order it, but the spice doesn't ruin the noodles. I'll probably be crying, but still enjoying it (I wonder what their "spicy" option is, but I'm too scared to order it!)

I live right by this place and have been excited to try it! Service is very speedy, my to go pick up order is usually ready in 10-15 minutes. This place is big with a large menu! The crab Rangoons are great! I will always get these! I did the dinner box which comes with entree, rice and egg roll. The egg roll was perfectly crispy! I got the orange chicken. It is good, I prefer Panda Express over this orange chicken though. It's good but just not my favorite. I will keep coming back and trying more!

I had a biang biang noodle with tender beef, ground pork, and tomato and egg sauce that was delicious. My daughter had vegetable spring rolls, miso soup and vegetable tempura. Her friend has orange chicken. Pretty standard Americanized Chinese food but the best version of each I had ever had. The orange chicken tasted like actual orange! The staff was very friendly and attentive.

Just ordered Uber eats from here. Got the General Tso's chicken (dinner) with veggie noodles and a veggie spring roll. I LOVED the sauce on the general Tso's chicken. So flavorful!! The noodles were a great accompaniment as well! Also provided such a large portion (that I inhaled) I was not a huge fan of the spring roll so I probably would skip that next time. Overall, loved it and will be ordering more from them! 4.5/5

We came here for their noodles, and this place did not disappoint. My favorite was the hand stretched noodle soup with lamb intestines. The hand-stretched noodles in hot & sour sauce was not quite what I expected. I thought it would be a dry noodle, but it had some soup base. Overall, Xi'an Cuisine is a good and affordable place to fix your noodles craving.

A Chinese restaurant in Greektown isn't expected. It sometimes has Americanized dishes to appeal to tourists and draw them in for some of the better food. Xi'an Cuisine is an example, having a good amount of more authentic items to go along with the more friendly stuff. Even though it has Americanized stuff, it still is more authentic than shit like Panda Express and crappy chains. They have a wide variety of noodles and things. Check out some pretty authentic tasting Chinese food. It wasn't busy the last time here at lunch. That's a shame. It's one of the Chinese restaurants that has a big menu of teas to choose from. We got a couple of these. It's about $6 each. The best was the Passionfruit Peach Green Tea. As for the food we got one of the vegetarian items. We had the Mongolian Tofu. It's $12 for a good amount. This has a mild spice. It has a pretty sticky texture that's fun and interesting. This item was good but they have even more authentic items that will blow minds. Good idea to complement anything with a tea because they're so good. It's even better than the food, which is saying a lot. The food itself is much better than that shit usually at strip mall Asian restaurants.

I've heard about this specific restaurant when I was living in New York, but I never had the chance to go. Being that I was staying in Downtown Chicago last weekend and this was a block and a half from my hotel, I was like... shiettt, might as well try now. I completely understand the whole biang biang noodles is a whole ordeal, but I was feeling under the weather and I was really craving soup. Couldn't get hot pot since I didn't have a car and didn't have enough funds to get an Uber/Lyft to Chinatown, so this was my next go to. And boyyyy, I do not regret my decision at all. The Lamb Intestine Soup hit the spot just right. The broth was phenomenal. Like perfectly seasoned and the depth of the flavors. The Ha Gao was just alright. I was honestly just craving dim sum also so I just decided to get this. The skewers were also not mandatory, but I decided to try them. The fish tofu was great. Quail Eggs were okay. And tbh I was expecting the beef tendon to be so tough. I was assuming it was going to be gelatinous like how I'm used to, but I was so wrong. I still enjoyed it though.

My husband and I tried this place out on a whim walking by, and I'm so happy we did because I think it's our new favorite Chinese food place in the area! We went during lunch, it wasn't super crowded inside, and both ordered from the Lunch Special menu items. Both the chicken and beef dishes were cooked to perfection and the noodles were scrumptious. We will definitely be back again to try more from the menu.

I've been passing by on my way to the office & finally had the chance to try it. I'm glad I did! They have a huge menu ranging in American Chinese food, Szechuan, & of Xi'an. The ambiance fits a nice West Loop restaurant with crystal chandeliers but you can be dressed casual. The cumin lamb flatbread is a must try!

Great place for some Chinese takeout. Such quick service and great portions for low prices. If you want the best deal I recommend getting the lunch special. I really want to go back and get some of the dishes they are famous for and their more traditional items.

Love the bubble tea! They have a watermelon bubble tea which is SO good! It's difficult to find this flavor so definitely has become go to for bubble tea for this reason! The lychee flavor is great too!! Their food menu is extensive, has so much variety. Everyone is so nice and welcoming!! They have TVs and previously had Harry Potter and anime playing! So cozy!! Definitely recommend :)

I love the biang biang noodles! I will go back for it. The cumin lamb flatbread was too salty for my taste. Too salty for me, i had to keep drinking water. Service and ambiance, no complaints!

A chinese restaurant in Greek town!? First thought that's odd; and I hadn't given it much thought after that since I only noticed it on our way into Athena restaurant. But fate brought us together on Thanksgiving. We were not doing the whole huge family gathering and made a modest thanksgiving lunch but by the time dinner rolled around we didn't want more turkey. So began the mad dash for "what's open?" We found Xi'an Cuisine and the person on the phone confirmed they were open and recommended the Biang Biang noodles. My husband got a dinner special that comes with a soda, rice and egg roll. The noodles are hand pulled I get the wide ones. They have bok choy, tomato, tofu, beef and really good flavor a little kick of spice. The menu itself is large but these noodles have a hold on me..it's currently Christmas and I am writing this review because we just got take out- I had to have my holiday noodles! The prices are good and one day I'll try other menu items but I suggest you go try the Biang Biang noodles soon!

We have been going here for lunch the last few weeks and it's been very good! I even got my coworkers to try new dishes and they ended up loving them.

It's on the ground floor of a condo so there are a lot of balconies attached to this restaurant. The inside decor is nice and comfortable with booth like seating chairs. They have a lunch special from 11am to 3pm. Their food is flavorful and tasty but the sauce was overwhelming and salty and just too much sauce on the food. The fried rice is great bc it's a vegetarian option and a ton of soy sauce so it's very flavorful but it will be salty. I tried to ask for vegetables garlic sauce but they don't make anything to order. I understand the hassles of doing so but many Chinese places will make dishes w garlic sauce or garlic if you ask so I was disappointed. But it's ok. The shrimp w broccoli lunch special was a good deal w big shrimp pieces for $11 w Vege fried rice included but just salty w the drowned sauce. So overall you will come out full but needing a lot of water afterwards. Nice staff and friendly.

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants for takeout. The Mongolian tofu with veggie flatbread are delicious. Definitely lots of veggie options for my fellow veg friends!! My husband loves getting the dinner platter. Definitely recommend if you're looking for great food!

I tried the braised beef soup with wide noodle and the Biang Biang Wide noodles and I definitely liked the Biang Biang the best. It has more flavor and it was different than all the other hand pulled noodles I've tried. 10/10 would recommend.
