In the shadow of Arsenal's iconic Emirates Stadium lies a culinary gem that serves some of the most authentic Xi'an specialties in town. This intimate eatery may be compact, but it buzzes with life, a testament to its popularity among both locals and students. Known for its hand-pulled biang biang noodles, these wide, chewy strips are served with an array of robust sauces ranging from piquant chilli oil to hearty beef mince and sesame-chilli concoctions. The menu, reminiscent of a Shaanxi street food stall, is not extensive but ensures quality and authenticity throughout. Notable starters include the sour-smacked pork ear and the delicate black fungus salad. Despite its humble setting, the restaurant maintains swift service and offers a BYOB policy, adding both value and flexibility for patrons.
