One customer reported an issue with the self-ordering kiosk automatically adding a 20% tip without explicit consent. This customer also found the noodle soup to be just "okay" with a limited amount of beef and felt it was not worth the price. Additionally, this reviewer noted that the eating area was unclean, with uncleaned tables and overflowing trash cans.

I feel completely cheated! I used the kiosk to order my food and picked it up myself, with no interaction with the staff. However, I later realized that the machine had automatically added a 20% tip to my bill without my consent. If I had noticed before paying, I would have gone somewhere else to eat. The food was just okay, with only a few small beef cubes in our noodle soups, definitely not worth the price we paid. Plus the eating area was filthy, no one cleaned the table and trash can.

Xi'an food is a cuisine that is less popular than szechuan despite its yummy creations. I was therefore very happy to see this place pop up, especially with no Xi'an Famous Foods nearby! The people who work in this stall within the food court largely speak mandarin, with very limited English to calling tickets. But they have a handy touch screen menu to order so that's easily solved. You can also tell they are quite authentic about their food preparation and can watch them steaming dumplings at the counter. The food is excellent, with the trademarks of Xi'an cuisine. Those are thick noodles, dumplings, and their "burgers". It has a softer spice level than szechuan food with a focus on meat and cabbage. They also added some new items with chives and even salmon. The prices are also quite fair for the portions and handmade quality. This place is an excellent spot for lunch and I will be coming more often.

I was just looking for a place to eat and get out of the cold, but the food surprised me. It was hot and super flavorful. There was a no tip option, so no one is forcing you, but I'm pretty happy I tipped. The food was made to order as well

2.00 MANDATORY TIP ON PAY SCREEN — could not find a way to remove it. Walked out and cancelled. Tired of everyone wanting tips for everything.
