Hand-pulled noodles, signature sushi, and fresh dumplings
"Xian offers a handful of sushi lunch specials where a couple of rolls cost less than $15, but the MVPs on the menu are the noodle dishes. We like the dan dan ones, which come swimming in a pool of chili oil and beef broth. They're topped with delicious braised meat, bok choy, and pickled vegetables. Get them for just under budget at lunch, or a few cents over at dinner." - nicolai mccrary
"At Xian Sushi And Noodle, the name of the game is, well, sushi and noodles. And while the sushi here is better than your average spot that tries to juggle multiple cuisines, the noodles are what we’re heading to Xian for. They’re 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 are red-braised beef noodles, shoyu ramen, tom yum chicken noodle soup, and more—the red braised beef noodles are especially good. There are 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, matthew jacobs
"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
