I really want to give this place five star since it’s my daughter’s fav restaurant, however, 1. The food quality is not consistent. When the head chef isn’t there, the taste is completely different—you can tell from the first bite. 2. We were also very disappointed yesterday. My daughter ordered her favorite noodle dish Biang biang noodle with lamb, but the portion was only about half of what it used to be. She has been coming here since she was little, and the first thing she said when she saw the plate was, “Why is there so much less?” That was really disappointing. We have been loyal customers for many years. But we have mixed feelings about this place.

The food here was very good. Value of the food was reasonable, flavourful and decent pricing. Their cumin lamb is seasoned very well, not too salty like other places. The hot and sour wonton was on point, loved the spiciness and then you get a kick of tanginess/sour. The pigs ear was on point, not too chewy and not too tough, the flavour melded pretty well. The beef noodle soup was very good, thin slice of beef shank/flank, the noodles was perfect and the soup made it well. Friendly staff, however, once you receive your food, the staff doesn’t care about you anymore especially when you need to refill of hot water for your tea. Overall, excellent value for the food.

Great, unassuming place that serves a unique cuisine -- it's very unusual to find a place that has Indian-influenced/Western Chinese food. I actually don't get the Biang Biang noodles. I like their other dishes, like celery with tofu skin (doesn't sound appetizing, but it's great). This is my goto for friends from out of town who want something they can't get anywhere but SF.

Super fair prices especially for San Francisco! Had a melody of dishes and all of them were definitely at least above average, most were delicious! The cold noodles and pig’s ears were tasty and I also liked the pork biang noodles. Service was super friendly as well, definitely come and try this hidden gem in the Sunset!

This place is located on a main street in a neighborhood. Was able to find parking in front of the restaurant on a Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. As a first-timer, I ordered the spicy sliced beef 5/5 which reminded me of the first time I had this dish at a very well known biang biang restaurant in Xi'an, flavors were spot on and delicious! I also ordered the original Shaanxi style pork burger 3/5. It was a bit bland for me; perhaps I should have gotten the cumin lamb burger, which would have been more authentic. Lastly, the three in one biang biang noodles 5/5! This was recommended by my server and was packed with amazing flavor! Service was great considering the restaurant was completely full. Surprisingly, every dish was very well priced, and portions were generous. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and will be back to try several other dishes!
