Xi’an Sizzling Woks

"A rare restaurant in the city that serves Northwest Chinese cuisine, Xian’s Sizzling Woks has something for everyone. From its biang biang noodle (hand-drawn noodles made with wheat flour) soup dishes to its spicy beef noodles — several of their entrées represent a modern take on the popular cuisine." - Ernest Owens, Diana Lu

"Everything is solid at Xi'an, but the best thing is the Chinese hamburger, which comes in a few varieties (braised pork, spicy minced pork, or beef). Our favorite is the cumin beef with green pepper and chilies, but they’re all great. The menu also has Western Chinese dishes like some excellent biang biang noodles and spicy sour minced pork noodles, both of which go perfectly with taro milk tea." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"One of the first restaurants to bring Northwest Chinese cuisine to Philadelphia, Xian’s Sizzling Woks menu includes a wide array of cold and hot appetizers, soups, rice, and noodles. Order one of its biang biang noodle (hand-drawn noodles made with wheat flour) soup dishes with options of lamb, beef, and garlic sauce for a hearty and filling meal or one of its many other modern takes on traditional Chinese dishes." - George Banks-Weston

"The best thing at Xi'an Sizzling Woks is actually their hamburger. There are three on the menu, all on warm, almost pita-like bread, and the most expensive one is only $4.50. Our favorite is the beef and green pepper burger spiced with chilies and cumin - but they’re all great. The rest of the menu is filled with tons of Western Chinese dishes like the excellent biang biang noodles and the spicy sour minced pork noodles." - Sydney McElwee
