I used to come here years ago and they had a slightly different menu so I got a hand pulled noodle with fatty beef this time. The soup still tastes the same and the noodles and beef were delicious. It’s extremely authentic and the food is as good as I remember. The restaurant is a little dingy and can turn some people away but I think it’s because the owner/chef is focused on cooking good food. The service was polite and they even offered me a free soda. Missed this place from my college days!

I saw Chinese students sitting in here in the middle of Penna. Why not! I was not disappointed and will return for another bowl of Hot and Spicy Broth

Very friendly service, but I feel like they rush to much to make the food, so it doesn't taste as good as it should!

Don’t look at the old reviews !! 1. Restaurant name is changed to xian grill 2. Great service if u eat there, not delivery 3. Amazing portion size and authentic food!! The staffs are so friendly and hardworking, waking up early and closing late, allowing customers to order as late as 11pm; such authentic Chinese food, their pork bun is very good and their noodles are amazing. Great portion size !! 10/10 recommend Don’t look at the old reviews

Excellent service. Will strive late night, no matter the circumstance. A great late night option.

The food was amazing. I got the pork noodle soup and my friend got the chicken noodle soup and we were both very happy with our orders. The service was great, very helpful and informative for us. Definitely going back.
