So it seems that fresh hand pulled noodles and meat burgers are actually specialties in the city of Xi’An as well as at this stall upstairs in Richmond Public Market. I have often gravitated to the man pulling the noodles and passed by the steam tables of deep fried this and that at other stalls in the market and i don’t regret it. On this visit, I tried the Pork Burgers (2 for $9) which were nicely chewy buns, no condiments that I am aware of and filled with tasty tender pork. Very nice. I ordered Beef Noodle Soup ( also $9) to go for my partner who was working at the time. A bit of a problem is that the noodles absorbed all the stock by the time the soup got to her. Still tasty…just not soup. My mistake not theirs. The man behind the noodles is all business which is not a bad thing as everything seems to be prepared to order. This stall is on Richmond’s Dumpling Trail so I will be back for that! yeswereeatingagain.com
Definitely a hole in the wall type of place. They make their noodles fresh (you can watch the chef make the noodles for your dish right after you order!). It makes all the difference in some of these very simple but tasty dishes. We had the number 8 (pork with chili oil on pulled noodles) which was a great balance of spicy, flavorful and bright. The noodles were chewy and thick, catching all the sauce from the truly delicious pork. The chili oil, while spicy, is not overly spicy.. it can leave the dish a little oily though.We also had the green onion cake. Unfortunately, while tasty, lacked enough green onions. It tasted mostly like man tao with some slight onion flavor. Tasted really good dipped in the chili oil and pork juices left over from the noodles though! All in all, great noodles for your money! Cost us only 10$ and one dish was enough for two people.
Tried their spicy wontons and special cold noodle. They were both yummy. Considering price and portion, it was worth it. The wontons were not too spicy that my mouth burned, which was good. The special cold noodle, I think had similar sauce to the spicy wontons. But it wasn’t very spicy either. It was quite refreshing. It had plenty of beansprouts and cucumber. There were also little pieces of something that I don’t know the name of. It was soft and chewy. At first I thought it was tofu skin, but I don’t think that’s right (if anyone knows what I’m talking about, I’d like to know!). The noodles were thick, but chewy and tender. It was my favourite part. I’d come back for those noodles again.
came here in the same day that my friend went to try other food stalls in richmond, came here because i haven’t had hand pulled noodle for a long time and as well that i haven’t tried xi’an cuisine like ever. So with curiosity i had some expectation on regarding the noodle but i have no knowledge about how the food is going to turn out. so i ordered the lamb soup noodle. I waited like around 5-10 minutes and the dish is ready, i added a little bit of chilli oil on the side as well because i was curious about the chilli oil. so then first bite of the noodle, it’s tangy and it have enough texture that i like in hand pulled noodle. next, the soup, a little bit more to the simpler soup with lamb aroma on it, which still is good and can be consumed a lot, but not really my preference at the moment and the lamb meat was just okay it was cut into smaller cube pieces. overall i would say, that it’s definitely alright, but nothing out of the ordinary, it’s a dish that you can consume a lot of times because of it’s more neutral flavour. mangkr.wordpress.com
I used to eat knife sheared noodles on a daily basis in China while I was living there for a year. The stalls were everywhere, and they always had an auntie who made really good noodles. Missing them terribly, I came here to try it because it was recommended to me by several colleagues. I tried the lamb soup with knife sheared noodles: The soup was too salty and not lamb-y enough. The noodles were overcooked and slightly mushy. Ah, disappointment. Maybe my standards are too high or maybe it was a bad day for them. Will have to try it again sometime soon. Hopefully I’ll be luckier next time
I love XI’An! My mom’s side of the family is from northern China and this is authentic as it gets. I always get the wontons in chilli oil, it’s a favourite. You usually have to wait 10-15 minutes for food since they make it fresh and that’s more than okay since it’s always delicious.Highly recommend.
Stopped in for a quick Sunday lunch while shopping in Richmond. Coming from Burnaby, this food court was like a much mellower Crystal Mall. Heard about the handmade noodles at Xi’An and had to try…I ordered the fried pork and chili noodles and the beef pancake roll. My partner ordered the beef and vegetable noodle and the pork dumplings. Portions were huuuuuge! The wide noodles were delicious. The pork and chili was nicely spiced if a little oily. The beef and vegetable noodles were less oily and well-seasoned but not spicy enough for my taste. Both were cooked to perfection. Noodles were nice and chewy. Beef roll and dumplings were great too. This will definitely be a regular lunch stop when in Richmond.
