Xi'an

Slightly pretentious the servers were amazing and food was cool as well

Love this place!!! Excellent atmosphere, timely service and superb food!

It was tasty food, with exotic flavors, but the utensils were dirty.

If you thought Chinese food was mostly greasy -- even good greasy -- you have to try Xian. Xian is healthy clean and extremely flavorable Chinese food. I had scallops and shrimp in black bean sauce which I wanted made spicy. They were happy to make spicy. Also garlic eggplant and "power" rice. This was wonderful with bits of vegetable and tofu -- a brown rice classic. This restaurant is a great place to check out.

Highly recommend Xi'an to anyone looking for tasty Asian cuisine! I last visited on a Friday night (no reservations) they got me seated as soon as they could. I ordered their fried eggplant to start off and WOW. I do not generally eat eggplant but the way they prepare it with breading and peppers is amazing. The main dishes I had were the popcorn shrimp, pungent fish aka candy fish (my personal favorite), and I want to say a Mongolian beef type dish. You'll notice that not only is the food delicious but of great quality too. Very light on the stomach and fresh tasting. Good portions for about 2-3 but with multiple dishes there is more than enough to go a round. My service has always been excellent, though I understand in the restaurant business not everyone is always satisfied. Any issue, ask for manager Tao and he will definitely appreciate compliments as he takes great pride in his work. Overall, beautiful restaurant, really good food.
