I went there with some family, their roujiamo is so delicious! It's only $5 and really tastes authentic, it's hard to get that kind of flavor and texture so I'd highly recommend it. We also tried their beef noodles, tomato and egg noodles, and their dumplings. I think their tomato and egg noodles were quite salty where I prefer them more sweet, but the dumplings and the beef noodles were good too!

I genuinely thought this place was a ghost kitchen for years. I kept seeing it show up on my Yelp app for nearby delivery, but every time I've walked by, it looked derelict. It turns out, they just use the front window area for storage, so you can't really make out the inside very well through the clutter. As it turns out, I can happily confirm that Bites of Xi'an is actually open for dine-in! I wonder if there's some shared history between Bites of Xi'an and Xi'an Famous Foods. The first thing that stood out to me was how alike their two menus are. Not only do they serve very similar dishes, but even the layout of the menu and their ordering conventions (a letter and number combination) seem eerily the same. This spot is pretty ascetic, but what they lack in character, they make up for with fresh, tasty food. Throughout our meal, you could hear the biang biang of fresh noodles being slapped in the kitchen. I appreciate that we were offered the choice between flat hand-pulled noodles vs. the more typical spaghetti style. I can't fathom why anyone would -not- opt for the thick, chewy, fluffy ribbons of glutinous glory, though. As far as the cuisine goes, I don't know that I could pick either of the eponymous eateries over the other. We shared the spicy cumin lamb noodles, the beef noodle soup, and an order of their spicy garlic cukes. Broadly, I'd describe each dish as flavorful, fragrant, varying in texture, and satisfying without feeling heavy. Also, the portions are stunningly massive for the price point. Our entire order (plus a bottle of water) came out to barely $30, then I threw in a cash tip on top. Where else can you score a completely filling dinner for two for $15 a head these days?!

The family came here for a quick lunch before running some errands. We ordered various dry noodle bowls and a pork sandwich. The noodles were hand pulled and it went well with the sauces. The pork sandwich was delicious, crispy exterior and juicy pork filling. All in all, it was a pretty good lunch and I would return whenever I'm in the area.

Bites of Xi'an makes some of the best dough. Their Crispy Beef Rougamo tastes a lot like Egyptian feteer stuffed with beef. We loved it. All you have to do is put butter and honey on that dough and you have feteer. It's layers of crispy dough on the outside, and soft on the inside. The meat was fresh and flavorful. It was near perfect. Their vegetable spring rolls were also super yummy, with the dough tasting fresh not frozen. Their pan fried chicken dumplings were pretty soft bc once pan fried, it's put in a sealed container for delivery which makes it soft, but again, because their dough is made so wonderfully, it still tasted good. The spicy cumin lamb burgers were solid. They are quite spicy so you need to be able to handle at least a 7/10 heat to be good with this and if not, you can always eat it with non spicy sides, etc. Overall, I would definitely order from Bites of Xian again.
