Chin Xi'an Style Restaurant 秦张记

I’m glad my friends and I checked out this place. At first I thought it’s another typical Chinese restaurant that served beef and broccoli or hot and sour soup. No it is not! I was wrong. The foods here are amazing! I don’t have to spend an expensive international trip to taste this authentic food. I like their 12-hours Stewed Pork murger and unique spicy handmade noodle dishes. The lamb combo in the first photo is also worth a try. The staffs here are super friendly and fast service. They gave us some suggestions when we didn’t know what to order. We learned about the lamb combo from them. We will definitely come back here for more and to try different dishes from their menu. Oh and conveniently, they have a boba milk tea shop inside their restaurant. Perfect to go for a cold drink or dessert after eating all the spicy foods.

I had an amazing experience at the Xi'an Style Restaurant in Germantown, MD! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The food was absolutely fantastic—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded my expectations! The service was another highlight; the staff was not only friendly but also fun and inviting, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for delicious food and a great time!

The 3-in-1 hand-ripped noodles stand out with their perfectly hand-pulled texture, offering a delightful chewiness, and the sauce complements them beautifully. The hand-grasped lamb was of excellent quality, tender and flavorful. As for the spicy minced pork roujiamo, while it’s a Chinese-style burger with an interesting twist—featuring ingredients like mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes instead of the usual fillings—it wasn’t particularly to my taste. The side dishes, priced around $11, were decent but felt a bit pricey. Personally, I would recommend sticking to the noodles—they’re the real highlight.

Nestled in a bustling shopping center alongside Honey Pig, Chin Xi'an Style Restaurant is a hidden gem that specializes in handpulled, numbing Szechuan noodles. During our Saturday lunch visit, the restaurant was buzzing with activity. Limited seating means you might have to wait 5-10 minutes for a table during peak times, but trust me, it’s worth it. The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, perfect for a quick meal. We started with the 12 Hour Stewed Pork Hand Pulled Noodles and the Spicy Pork Noodles, alongside the “you pick 3” cold dishes: dried tofu skin, sweet heat cabbage, and shredded potatoes. We couldn’t resist adding a Spicy Cumin Beef Murger, served in a crisp baked flatbread. The handpulled noodles were undeniably the highlight. Each strand was perfectly al dente, with just the right amount of chew. The stewed pork noodles stole the show—flavorful, tender, and the kind of comfort food that warms your soul. The spicy pork noodles were a bit of a letdown in comparison; while enjoyable, they lacked the bold flavor profile that made the stewed pork so memorable. The cold dishes were a delightful accompaniment. The crunchy texture of the shredded potatoes and sweet heat cabbage provided a refreshing contrast to the chewy noodles. They added a nice touch of variety to our meal. As for the Murger, it was decent. The cumin flavor was prominent and well-executed, making it a satisfying choice to round out our meal. Overall, Chin Xi'an is an excellent spot for those craving authentic Szechuan flavors. The noodles are the star, and with a few tweaks to some dishes, this place could easily elevate itself to must-visit status. If you find yourself in Ellicott City, make sure to stop by for a taste of their handpulled noodles—you won’t regret it!

The food here is so flavorful. Especially the beef burger. The biang biang noodles re really good too, as well as the cold cut beef. Their sour plum drink is also REALLY good, delicate flavor and not just sweet. Very delicious and polite!!
