Shaanxi Gourmet

I’ve been here twice and will definitely keep coming. I really liked the cold skin noodles as an appetizer and highly recommend it. Lamb skewers were also really good but a little expensive for what you get. I liked the Sizzling Cumin Lamb as it had a lot of flavor. It had a little spice but not too much (I would have preferred it even spicier). I typically like to get spicy dishes but decided to also get the Eggplant in Brown Sauce. Lots of tender eggplant and the brown sauce is slightly sweet which goes nicely with a spicy dish. It also has bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, and tomatoes in it for a nice variety of vegetables. If you need something not very spicy, the Sizzling Beef Fillet with Black Pepper would be good. One dish I did not like was the Spicy Chicken with Crispy Rice. The fried chicken was decent but quite salty. The rice it came with was cubes of super crunchy rice that was difficult to eat with the chicken. The combination of the dry rice with fried chicken made it very dry of a dish.

Shaanxi Gourmet has delicious authentic Chinese food without having to drive into the city. The restaurant itself is very clean and casual and the staff are very friendly. They make everything in-house. I started with a lychee iced tea, delicious! My first plate was soybean paste homemade noodles. This was this noodles in a mouthwatering soybean meat sauce. The flavors were amazing! This dish also had fresh sliced cucumbers that tasted really good mixed into the dish. My next dish was pork intestine in a brown sauce. Pork Intestine, in general, is like eating extremely tender pork. It is delicious! This also had my favorite wood ear mushrooms, fermented black beans. This dish was a showstopper! I also tried their crispy orange sesame chicken. This was crispy, with nice flavoring without a heavy sauce. Definitely recommend! The egg rolls were a mix of cabbage, celery, and meat. They had a nice flavor. The duck sauce was traditional with a little spice added, possibly cinnamon. For dessert I had warm tapioca. It was also delicious! The restaurant quickly filled up. It seemed the majority of the guests were speaking Chinese! I take that as a good sign. Shanxi is part of Northern China. I think they do an amazing job honoring their food. This is a must try!

Takeout review only for Spicy shrimp. Dry fried with Mala spice. Spice is there but not much flavor. Fried shell keeps cutting into inner cheek lining... place is somewhat dreary.

The taste is good and authentic. However, multiple menu items are quite hard and dry in texture, such as the bun and rice. Highly recommend the noodles.

Very good shaanxi flavor. Highly recommend moon cake with chives and eggs. And Chinese burger . Super juicy and delicious. Definitely will come back.
