   Their hand-pulled noodles have a good texture. Flavours are fine too. But the meat portions are ridiculously insufficient, even for the extra large sizes.

   My favourite place in the whole of Auckland for noodles. Don’t underestimate this small shop tucked away in the corner. The cumin lamb noodles are the best - flavour is spot on, noodles are nice and chewy and portion size is perfect. Always find myself coming back every couple months.

   Xi Ann Food Bar is a cozy, small shop that punches well above its weight. They make their own noodles from scratch, which truly elevates the dish. We highly recommend trying their cumin lamb noodles—they’re delicious, packed with flavor, and the portions are huge, easily enough to share between two people. The unique, fresh quality of the homemade noodles and the well-balanced seasoning make for a memorable dining experience. One noodle cost about 15$.

   It had been awhile since I had ordered from here but ordered dinner from here recently and I went back three times to order dinner to takeaway. I ordered the cucumber salad (#73), wonton soup (#84) and corned beef Chinese burger (#9). All of it was delicious and I'd highly recommend drizzling the chilli sauce from the salad onto the corned beef in the burger if you order it. Great flavour as the burger is quite dry without some sort of sauce. You could even stuff some of the salad in it too or just eat it together. I've ordered #8 in the past but it was just a bit too fiery for me and should have a two chilli rating rather than one chilli. Staff are nice.

   Amazing noodles full of flavors for reasonable price. Go there for a nice full bowl of flavorful noodles with great chili oil and you will be giving 5 stars too.

   There’s really nothing fancy about Xi’an but there’s a lot that’s special about it. You go there for the hand pulled noodle soup and it doesn’t matter which one you choose, it’ll be good. If you like authentic food that’s full of flavour and of amazing value, then this is the place. Xi’an is an institution that will outlast any fancy restaurant out there. Would I like a beer with my food, yea I would but also, I’m glad I don’t get to have one - healthier you know. My pork noodle soup was everything I wanted it to be, warming and perfectly seasoned, it was a simple dish so it was nice to add a little pickled garlic to it, that tastes like Chinese medicine and not garlic at all - super unique flavour, not spicy, not even garlicky. I always get pickled cucumber, every place does them differently and I love all of them, crunchy, fresh, spicy, saucy yum!

   Truly love the hand pulled noodles. The first time I visited I got the cold noodles+burger combo, and was not at all disappointed! Both were delicious, tasted authentically Chinese, and the meat in the bun was so tender and perfectly cooked. Today I got the #37, which had perfectly chewy noodles, delicious, tender, braised pork, and an amazing sauce with a very decent portion for the price of $14. Would recommend to anyone looking for good Chinese food or a lovely comfort meal to take home.

   BEST hand pulled noodles in Auckland (Despite there being many shops around). Highly recommend the following dishes: -Hand pulled xian styled braised pork noodles. -Hand pulled cumin lamb noodles. -Hand pulled noodles with Spicy chilli oil and veges. -Cucumber salad with sauce. Generous portions for such a cheap price. I think this is the best value for money you could get around in the CBD. The staff dependent on the time can have limited English, but you can often communicate using the menu board with no issues. Overall one of my favourite places to dine in the CBD.

   You might think this is a restaurant in Auckland. No. It's actually a portal to China. This is unapologetically Xi'an flavors straight from the streets of China. And just like China, it's a place to eat with very little service. But I'm cool with that. The restaurant is run by 3 women and they throw down the most delicious meal I've had so far this trip. The lamb noodle soup is just right. The cold noodle dish is great too. Wear loose and cool clothing because you will be sweating it maybe it was just me. I wish they had cold beer though... That would make it the best.
