Xi’an Sizzling Woks

Hidden Gem with Amazing Food and Service I’ve always been curious about this place but hesitated to try it because of the exterior—it looks like a takeout spot from the outside. Last week, I finally decided to go in and was pleasantly surprised. Inside, it’s a clean and inviting dine-in restaurant. The restaurant was empty, which made me a little sad, especially after trying the food—it’s unbelievably good! I ordered the Chongqing spicy chicken, scallion pancake, liang pi, and hot and sour soup. Every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. The scallion pancake had a uniquely crisp crust, and the hot and sour soup was packed with veggies, button mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, tofu, and eggs. It was comforting, delicious, and felt healthy—exactly what you need on a cold day. They even offer small and large pot options, which is great for any appetite. Service was phenomenal, and the food arrived quickly. The quality and quantity of food for the price were unbeatable. If you’re in the neighborhood, don’t overlook this spot. It’s a hidden gem that deserves more attention. I’ll definitely be back!

Got the Chinese pork hamburger and the liang pi for takeout late at night. It was tasty and felt a bit homemade. The flavor was good, but not particularly notable if you’ve tried other places. More of a soy sauce flavor. The “hamburger” bun was on the bready and soft side. The liang pi was a cold dish. It was on the firmer side and not as chewy. Friend got the pepper chicken which was good and within expectations of Chinese takeout.

It is such a rarity to find Xian food in the us. It was very good and they were kind enough to make something of the menu for me. It was not exactly like it was in country, but I will take it. The Chinese hamburgers are also good. I do suggest asking for additional peppers. Overall, the food was good and the staff were incredible.

Some of the best food I've had out in Philly thus far. I had the General Tso with a pork egg roll. The food was fresh and hot. The inside was clean and the staff were very nice.

Place took a big dive most def changed management. Staff don’t listen to what you need. I went there twice asking for noodles with no eggs and it comes out with eggs and they try to convince me it’s tofu! Scallion pancakes were not thoroughly cooked. They won’t give us wooden chopsticks telling us the whole restaurant doesn’t have them even for take out and gave us plastic forks instead. Will not be going back. We were born but we weren’t born yesterday. Waste of time and money and quality is sub par.
