Reviews
A popular and authentic Shaanxi restaurant with plenty of local diners. When it gets busy, seating can be a bit tight, but the staff are attentive and helpful. The roujiamo was authentic, with the bread nicely baked — crispy on the outside and soft inside. The three-in-one biangbiang noodles had good texture, though…
