Xi’an Cuisine

Great selection of dishes and very generous portions. Everything we tried was delicious. However, there is one nuance with the menu: it’s not always clear what each dish actually is or what it’s made of. We would recommend adding more detailed descriptions or photos, because, for example, the “soups” section turned out to have dishes that were more like stir-fried meals rather than actual soups.

One of the new Chinese restaurants I like a lot and want to go again. Good flavor with their dishes, generous portions, and good effort in service. Lots of people waited to get seats at 6, 7 pm on Saturday. Once seated, service was pretty fast.

Some of the best Chinese food in naperville everything was fresh and tasted great. Nice big chunks of orange chicken with a nice crunch. You can tell this was home made and not prepackaged. The fried rice was also perfect and tasted great. I will definitely be back in the future.

Hunan beef and baby shrimp fried rice are really good. Caution, hunan beef is spicy!! The crab rangoon are generously stuffed with cream cheese filling. Food stayed warm all the way home.

Been waiting for a place like this forever. Authentic noodles, lively atmosphere and great service. Highhhly recommend the wide noodles which is their specialty. We got the mapo tofu and beef noodle soup.

Delicious. Nice quaint location with friendly staff and extensive menu. Picked up to go and the dishes were hot and ready to go. Prices are fair and the portions are large. Lots of flavor and delicious options. Would definitely go back.

This Xi’an cuisine is much better than the ones on downtown area. The food is authentic. We ordered lamb skewers which is super tender. The cold chicken dish is perfect in flavor, it has a little bit sour and spicy taste in it. The Bianbian noodle is the best of all dishes, it has three different sauce in it, one is tomato eggs, one is minced meat and another is stewed beef, with hand made thick noodles, it is just perfect combination.

Chinese style Kung Pow Chicken is the best I’ve ever had. Dan Dan Noodles were rich and noodles cooked perfectly. Mongolian Beef was tender and delicious. This is my new GoTo for Chinese in the western suburbs.

good service good food I love the noodles they have and the fried rice. Restaurant is clean bright good place to have dinner

We ordered the stir-fried noodles, soup noodles with lamb, and tapas, and are absolutely authentic and phenomenal - perfectly chewy noodles, tender lamb, and just the right amount of heat. Service was quick and friendly. Portion sizes are generous.

Listen... I'm bias to Chinese food bc it is not my preference of cuisine...WOW! I am SHOOK with how excellent I thought the food, atmosphere, and service was at Xi'an Cuisine. Authentic or Americanize? They have em both! A group of 8 of us dined in for a weekend dinner and it was packed! Thankfully 1 of our friends made a reservation (Shout out Sanjay N. from the Chicago burbs Yelp squad for coordinating a great evening!) and we avoided having to wait for a table. Service throughout was consistent. Our server was really friendly and kept up with the hustle and bustle of a crazy busy Saturday night. In total we ordered 8 items and ate family style. Having a lazy susan in the center of the table was extremely helpful for us vs having to constantly pass dishes. The pricing here is reasonable especially given how generous the portions are. My favorites were the Cumin Lamb, Biang Biang Noodles & the Braised Beef Sirloin Hand Stretched Noodles (w/o the soup broth). Everything was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Ugh! This place is IT for me. The noodles?! Out of this world 4294299429430 stars! I'm extremely grateful this place is close to my house as I will definitely be frequent and recommend it to others.

Food tasted great, service was above and beyond. The atmosphere and the vibes were superb especially with the traditional music!

It was... okay. My dish was made with itty bits of ginger that I would bite into from time to time. I'm NOT a fan of ginger. But if you are then it's a good dish. I ordered the Seafood Tofu Pot. Shrimp, cuttlefish, scallops, white fish, tofu and veggies. I wish it had more veggies. But the flavor was decent. Served with white rice. My husband got the DanDan Noodles. That was definitely better after adding the spicy chili oil. We shared the beef and lamb skewers. The beef was SALTY but the lamb was pretty good. My experience was fine. The service was good. But would I make the drive to Naperville again for this place? No. There is a lot for parking.

Decent Chinese food and authentic. The chili chicken we ordered was very greasy. Nice portion and quick service. It was really busy during the weekend. Would love to come back and try more!

Incredible food here! I need to come back and try more dishes! The noodles with hot and sour sauce are delicious, with a mouth numbing vinegar sauce that is absolutely addictive! The hong sue eggplant was delicious. And the chili fish special was so good as well. Goes perfect with a bowl of rice! The service was great! Very attentive wait staff. The restaurant is super clean and well kept!

This is a newly opened chain in Naperville and we tried over last Friday evening. It wasn't that crowded but a reservation would be helpful since we had to wait for 10-15 min to get our table Food wise it's decent I would not recommend this one. I like the china town one better. The service was slow due to crowd. Ambiance wise a very good place Overall I would give 3/5 stars

Back here after almost a year, and the food and quality is just as good!! The service is always quick and everyone is friendly. This time for the food - we got Chicken in Hunan style D.12 and Hong Sue Eggplant 142 Both tasted amazing!! So flavorful and cozy. Need to come back more often!

The spicy fish dish is tasty. And thr service is good. Environment is okay. Overall good experience so far.

Adding upon an earlier review -- Salt pepper smelt (3/5): The fish was too strongly fried and tough to chew. I felt like the flavor profile was more dominated by the breading used to fry the smelt than the smelt itself. Fish fillet in chili oil (4/5): The texture of the fish was good, though I would have preferred it without the breading on the outside and for the chef to use a little less oil.

This place is legit! Everything we ordered was so yummy but very spicy. The service was good and place was very clean.

Good portion sizes! 3 entrees can easily feed 4-5 people, so we went home with lots of leftovers. I really liked the Garlic Eggplant! Also their fruit teas are quite yummy.

The food is on point and service is prompt. Ask for the real Chinese menu, not the watered down American-Chinese menu

You know the food will be good at an Asian restaurant when most of the patrons are Asian! That's all we saw when tried this place for the first time... So we were optimistic upon arrival. Our server was nice but I I'm not 100% sure he understood my questions clearly enough to provide guidance on food selections. So we went with dishes we "knew". The food was good, especially the Mongolian beef. The smelt was okay, but I prefer the smaller, crispier smelt I've had at other places. The noodle dish was very good, particularly the texture of the noodles themselves. I believe the noodles are made from scratch. The sauce was tomato vs. soy sauce based. It was tasty, just different. The portions were healthy and we had leftovers for another meal. If you are in the neighborhood.... Give it a try!

Definitely coming back to Xian Cuisine! The Biang -biang noodles was excellent, great flavor & super soft beef. My wife had the Fish Mapo tofu which also was very flavorful. Service was attentive since we came in early ( right before 6:00pm). The ambiance was ok, good spacing of tables and the dining room was quite bright. We're coming back to try other dishes since we live close, my wife actually asked me why we never came here before.

Food is amazing. Service is also. We will be back does not matter how far we need to drive to get there. Price is also not that expensive

Neat place. Went on a Saturday for lunch and got pretty busy. The service is usually like why other Asian restaurant. You order and never get checked on again until you need your bill. Since I don't speak mandarin (anymore), I early get worse service. Noticing the trend around me with tables that do speak the language. I understand it though and it can be frustrating. We ordered a good amount of food, the spice levels were decent. Sometimes that can be inconsistent since another time we asked for spicy and that was darn near impossible to eat! Biang biang noodles was fun! Had 2 meats and tomato egg which was surprisingly delicious over noodles and altogether. Pig ear is safe to get every time, it's so good and a great app.

Nice location! I like the lamb soup and the garlic! Server really nice and friendly! Nice location! I like the lamb soup and the garlic! Server really nice and friendly!

We ordered take out from here on a Wednesday around noon. The guy who answered the phone was very friendly and great to talk to. Food only took around 20 minutes after we ordered for it to be ready. When we brought the food back everything was very well and tightly packaged. We shared the following items: DRY CHILI CHICKEN: Great item! Chicken is well fried and the chilis really make it so fragrant. BIANG BIANG NOODLES: The noodles are perfectly cooked and the large surface area really soaks up the sauce. The meat both ways in the noodles are tasty and love that there was also some bok choy as well. Definitely get this dish. SALTED EGG YOLK EGGPLANT: I've always been a huge fan of salted egg yolk eggplant but unfortunately this was not that good. It is way too sweet but at least the eggplant is well cooked. SHRIMP AND PORK WONTON: Ehh the wontons are just ok, more skin than meat unfortunately. The soup itself is light and nice though. All in all, a solid lunch option in the area!

Ambiance: 5/5 We came on a Monday around 4:45pm and were the only ones inside until around an hour later hahah. The inside was pretty spacious and would be great for groups of friends or even for a date. Service: 2/5 We were a little disappointed with service today because we had brought in a small bottle of beer and no one mentioned anything about a $15 BYOB fee to us until we were about to order. We had already been given glasses for it and were drinking it before all three servers rushed over and hassled us about the fee lol. In the end, we compromised and they said they will waive the fee if we ordered two beers. The whole interaction was just not the most professional and could have definitely been handled better, but it is what it is. Food: 5/5 Everything was so delicious!! Our favorites included the cabbage (MUST TRY!), lamb neck in tomato broth (it's a special order and not always available), and the lamb stir fry. The only dish that wasn't good were the cucumbers. It's legit just some chopped up cucumbers (not marinated or anything) with some black vinegar; do not recommend getting lol. We also tried the passion fruit green tea which was refreshing and not too sweet. Overall, we would definitely come back and try other yummy dishes.

So fun. On a road trip and getting HANGRY, I turned to Yelp who did not let me down. Very refreshing cucumber salad and a delicious bowl of soup later, I continued on my way. Good service and kind of loud Chinese music made for a fun stop.

Reminds me of the legendary xian famous foods in manhattan. Great food, and great customer service (which isn't the norm for places this tasty) haha

Delicious! Highly recommend! Service Great! The soup is very good! You must order meat sandwich!

Such good food and generous portions. The biang biang noodles are incredibly delicious and there's so much of them. I finished it in two sittings and I eat a lot. My boyfriend got a dinner special which was generous in size, delicious, and reasonably priced. There's an impressive amount of food to choose from here as well. Xi'an Cuisine is definitely a new staple for the both of us. I'll be bringing my family next time.

Very clean and super fast service! The cold dish and cold noodle (liangpi) came out in less than 5 mins after ordering. Everything came out within 10 minutes of ordering! Try the pick 3 side dishes for $14.99, they give you large portions and it's a great way to try different side dishes. We got (seaweed, shredded vinegar potato, and pig ears). All three had great flavors and was perfect to get you ready to eat more. The liangpi or cold noodles are a xi'an classic and the gluten squares soaks up the sauce perfectly. Make sure you add chili oil to really bring out the flavor! Lamb skewers was very fresh but a bit sweet I think the chef may have westernized it a bit to fit the western pallet. The meat on the skewers were well cooked and generous in portion. The biang biang noodles is a must, especially if you like the chewy hand pulled noodles! Very authentic in taste. We also ordered a lamb guabao or lamb stuffed bun but it was eaten so fast no picture was available. 100% get the stuff bun! Over all it was a great experience and I only taken some points off because of how lightly seasoned the liangpi and lamb skewers were. I was craving a heavy seasoned sodium bomb of a meal today so it may have impacted the decision a bit. But the light season makes the meal healthier so it may appeal to others. One thing to remember, driving in may be a bit confusing because of all the constructions. All in all, definitely check this place out for some authentic Xi'an food!

Absolutely the best grilled fish I've ever had! Perfectly cooked with a delicious smoky flavor that melts in your mouth. Portion size was generous, and the value for the price is unbeatable. A must-try for any seafood lover!

Not ganna lie, I was very impressed with this place considering it being in Naperville. I had a nice dinner with my friend :) The layout inside is pretty spacious with awesome art on the walls. The place slowly filled with locals and their families - there were lots of kids running around. The food was really good and tasted authentic. It's fall now so soup was the way to go. I got the shrimp and pork wonton soup (small size). The small is more than enough for 1 person - waiter said the small has 10 wontons. I added chili oil for spiciness and color because this soup is naturally not spicy. Overall very delicious and I would recommend to anyone who lives in Naperville looking for authentic asian cuisine!

This was our first time to Xi'an Cuisine. We tried several things on the menu. Lamb Skewer, Cumin Lamb Flatbread, Biang Biang Noodle and Pork in Garlic Sauce. First, the Lamb Skewer, it had good flavor but it's not very large and we ordered two to try them out. Followed by Cumin Lamb Flatbread (like a Chinese Hamburger), which was very good, the flatbread was freshly made and crunchy outside with reasonable amount of lamb inside; I think it would be great if it were stuffed with meat. Then the Biang Biang Noodles, this is their Chef's Special, the Noodles taste home-made, wide and al dente and it tasted good; the noodle portion was good but could use a little more protein. Finally, Pork in Garlic Sauce, which was our favorite, the flavor and texture were excellent and the portion was large enough to share. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will return to try other dishes.

You know one review is fake when she says the restaurant isn't as good as 3-4 years ago. Yeah this place opened 2 years ago... this place is authentic although they do have an Americanized Chinese menu. Service like any place in Chinatown is mixed. It can be good or bad. Prices are fair. Lots of parking outside. Located across the street from Best Buy, close to Hollywood Palms. I challenge the viewers to stop picking the Americanized dishes and pick the more authentic dishes. It'll give your palate new flavor that hasn't been discovered before. -Lamb soup 5/5 -Soup noodle with beef 5/5 -Biang biang noodles 5/5 - not spicy -Lamb with cumin 5/5 - it does have some spice due to the cumin -Noodles with tomato and egg sauce 5/5 -Sweet and sour ribs 5/5

A lot to choose from, staff is friendly and helpful. This was my first time so I sticked to the basics. Great place for family meals. The place gets busy on weekends. I wish their menu had more photos

The best Asian food I have ever had. The Mongolian beef is amazing as is the fried rice.

I really enjoyed the food here--especially the beef noodle soup, oil-splashed noodles, dan dan noodles, roujiamo (Chinese-style meat burger), and the cold noodles. Everything was flavorful and authentic!

The food here is really good. Super quick and professional, we got our food within 15 minute. The art around the restaurant was also very nice. As a Chinese person, definitely recommend.

Food was a 10/10, Service was very helpful and fun!!! Loved eating here. Ambiance was super cute

The mapo tofu was really good! It was spicy and had numbing peppers. The hand pulled noodles were so soft. Good portion size to share.

We've ordered the lamb skewers, beef flat bread, biang biang noodle and potstickers. Everything is so good and super flavorful. We'll be back again.

This restaurant is great! Large menu with authentic dishes. We weren't thrilled with the Mongolian beef, but the salt and pepper shrimp and Eggplant in Garlic were excellent as were the pork potstickers (some of the best ever!). The service was good and we will definitely be back (we already have been there twice).

The food there were pretty good with the reasonable prices. The best 肉夹馍 I've ever had!

Despite living in an area of the northwest suburbs with some strong contenders for excellent Asian food, I was still quite excited to drive out close to an hour to try Xi'an Cuisine and fortunately it delivered! I was hoping for a few things on when trying this spot, which is that the food is authentic, the taste is flavorful, and that the noodles have that bouncy and slurpy texture you expect when made fresh. Fortunately this meal met all my expectations and more. When you order here, you might be a bit overwhelmed at first with unfamiliar options. In hindsight, I now realize that the specialties are all shown at the front of the restaurant, on the walls, and on the TVs as you order. I don't think you can really go wrong with ordering anything, but it would have been nice if the menu itself had some pictures to guide those unfamiliar with the cuisine with some recommendations (especially for those who can't handle a higher spice level). The portion sizes here are very generous considering the fair prices, presentation is good, and you can clearly tell that they lean towards using fresh ingredients like shallots, garlic, cilantro, chilis, etc. instead of leaning of sauces or spices to flavor the food -- which is very evident in the final product. On this trip I tried a variety of items and would gladly eat all of them again. The dry chili chicken was crisp and flavorful without being too salty. I would probably put it in the top 5 versions of this dish that I've had around Chicagoland, a bit better than Lao Sze Chuan's (less oily) and pretty comparable to nearby Mapo's version. The twice cooked pork is also very good though the meat is sliced a bit thinner than what you'd find in other versions of this dish. With that said however, the flavor is excellent and the cabbage is phenomenal, absorbing all the flavors of the meat and flavorings. My party was comprised of heavy meat eaters yet they didn't leave any cabbage remaining. The cumin beef skewers and lamb skewers are made pretty well, not the juiciest preparation that I've had but the meat was quite tender and seasoned well. It's more than enough to satisfy any Chinese BBQ craving you might have. The Dan Dan noodles were prepared to expectation with plenty of minced pork and cucumber with nice elastic noodles. If I had a redo on ordering, I probably would've tried a different noodle just because I wanted it to be intensely savory and this was actually almost a bit sweet with what seemed to be a sesame and peanut sauce. This is not to say that it isn't enjoyable, but there are so many fantastic noodle options here that I should've tried something a bit more adventurous. The soup noodle with beef is also quite good though maybe not what people who enjoy Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup are expecting. The beef is sliced quite thin (though flavorful), the noodles are sliced quite thin and long (like chow fun noodles), and the bone broth can be a bit intense with flavors of the marrow and white pepper. I definitely recommend going for the spicy version if you can handle it though, as the spices add an additional layer of complexity and umami to help you really enjoy the noodles. Overall, delicious and addictive. I can't wait to come back soon and try some more adventurous dishes to really enjoy the full variety of ingredients and flavors that Xi'an Cuisine has to offer -- while recruiting a large group of friends or family so that I can try more options.

Xi'an Cuisine is a restaurant that my husband and I had been wanting to try for some time. We went there with a few friends. When we first got there, we noticed that virtually every item on their menu is marked as spicy. They are not joking around. The dried chili chicken was too spicy for me to eat. The rest of the food was very flavorful. We also had the beef noodle soup, lamb skewer, beef skewer, dan dan noodles, and twice cooked pork. This was plenty of food for the four of us. The service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend Xi'an Cuisine, but next time, I will be more judious with what I order

Went here a second time since my fiancé and I were around the area. This time we seat down and ate inside the restaurant. Let me tell you it was PACKED. However, we were seated right away and also got our food quickly too. We ordered the crab Rangoon, pork shrimp siomai and biang biang noodles. Honestly, you can skip out on the appetizers. The noodles were the star of the show! I'm a home cook and tried making this before but I can't get the texture right. These fresh noodles were amazing and chewy. We ordered spicy but it wasn't too spicy to be honest. Really good service despite being busy and inexpensive too. I would come here again.

Customer service was great and staff was quick with our order. Great prices for the food. Their salted egg yolk tofu was one of my favorite

Great place, yummy food+ nice environment, very recommend! Definitely will bring my family and friends come here again~~~~~~

Food is good. Place has a vibe of small eatery place. Service is good but most of the servers here are not fluent English speakers. You may need to repeat your instructions. But that was not a big blocker for me personally. Everyone's experience may vary.

I love eating at Xi'an cuisine and never had a bad experience til today. I ordered Biang Biang noodles and was very disappointed with the meat as it was not tendered at all. I was almost choked as I chewed and swallowed it because it was very tough. I won't order this anymore although this is my favorite dish there.

Authentic Xi'an and Sichuan cuisine. Hand pull wide noodles are delicious. Lots of spicy dishes for spicy food lovers.

great food and atmosphere!!! i love it here, we had such a good time, we will revisit in the future!

Affordable lunch specials from 11 AM to 3 PM weekdays. Delicious flavorful food with chicken or shrimp. Great value!
