Xian Sushi and Noodle

"For hearty Chinese hand-pulled noodles and noodle soup dishes, this Austin mini-chain restaurant is the answer, especially those red-braised beef noodles. There are three other locations besides this one in Mueller: one in the Domain and the other two up in Round Rock. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online; there are typically indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The Chinese Austin mini-chain dishes up noodle soups with choices of kinds of pasta. A sure-fire bet is the red braised beef noodles. Takeout orders can be placed online for all locations; there are indoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"At Xian Sushi and Noodle, the name of the game is, well, sushi and noodles. And they do both very well. The noodles here are all hand-pulled—a very entertaining sight to see when you walk in the door—and come in six varying thicknesses on a scale from “vermicelli” to “triangle.” And if you think that’s a lot of options, just wait until you see the different preparations. There’s red-braised beef noodles, shoyu ramen, tom yum chicken noodle soup, and more. The best part? There’s no bad choice, though the red braised beef noodles and the beef hand-pulled noodle soups are especially good. They have a few locations in the Austin area, including Mueller, The Domain, Round Rock, and San Marcos." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"At Xian Sushi and Noodles, the name of the game is sushi and noodles. And they do both very well. The noodles here are all hand-pulled and come in varying thicknesses on a scale from “vermicelli” to “triangle.” As for the actual preparation, you can get them in soup-form, like ramen or red-braised beef soup, or in a semi-dry form like Dan Dan noodles. The sushi is good, fresh, and affordable, but noodles are the thing to get here." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
