Very tasty food! The owners were very helpful with the menu and patient with us. We came 30 minutes before closing and told us to don't rush even after closing! The food was very flavorful, highly recommend the beef cumin bao. The bread to meat ratio was perfect! The lamb noodle soup was very tasty too!

One of the best Xi’an Cold Skin Noodles 西安凉皮 that makes it right. The Beef Cumin Bao is also very good. Not to mention how tasty the Lamb Noodle Soup was. This place deserves more attention.

This noodle place is a hidden gem in the plaza. I have not tried noodles that can be so different from typical noodle houses. Flavored but not overpowering. Tried their cold noodle with chilli sauce, lamb with noodle soup, and stir fried noodle with beef. Have to go there again. The restaurant only takes cash, be prepared before going.

Food were served in plastic takeout containers. I felt like I was eating at Crystal Mall food court. Only 2 people (husband & wife) working in this small restaurant. The woman server speaks Mandarin and very very little English. Scanned the menu code on the table and there’s no option to place the order. Woman came by and I had to point to what I wanted on my phone. Food was average and service was slow and poor. The woman server talked very loud to another table beside us. Being that it’s such a small restaurant, the volume of their voices just echoed loudly. Would not be coming back until I learn to speak Mandarin. This place only takes cash.

Small place located in a strip mall. Nice lady took our order and served us throughout the meal. The food was very tasty and not too oily. We had the shredded potatoe, dumplings and two noodle dishes. I love the thick flat noodles... lookingnforward to my next visit to try other food items.

TerraCotta Boyz is a Chinese noodle shop located in the Old Orchard Shopping Centre in Burnaby. This smallish shop has a few tables on one side of the store and a stand-up counter on the opposite side. Their menu is fairly basic but odds are that you’re coming here for their noodles. The server had recommended that I try their Spicy & Sour Pork Noodles in Soup ($12) so I took him up on his suggestion. I found that the soup was not overly spicy or sour but it is noticeable (especially if you’re unfamiliar with this combination of flavours). I did enjoy the texture and the varying thickness of the long and wide noodles (I need to work on my noodle pull technique). The dish also contained a small amount of thin beef, cut up tofu puffs, and veggies but it felt a bit sparse. While I was waiting for my meal to arrive, I could hear a loud slapping sound coming from the kitchen… assuming it was from them making their noodles. Overall, I was a bit undecided about this dish so I made a note to come back here and try one of their non-soup noodles to see how that compared. It actually took me about 4 months before I finally managed to come back for a revisit and this time I ordered the Fried Beef Sauce Noodles ($12). As expected, the English on the menu isn’t very descriptive but I wound up pleased with this dish. Again, there was the loud noodle slapping noise coming from the kitchen while I waited. And they had to ask me to move over to the counter because a larger party came in after me. This bowl had a generous portion of long, broad noodles of varying thickness topped off with well-seasoned fried ground beef, sprouts, and a few pieces of veggies. You have to kind of mix it up before you eat and the sauce was only mildly spicy but I did think this turned out quite good.

The burgers here is one thing you won't miss out on. However........the noodles were very well done! Nice spring and bounce in every bite, the flavour is nice but I somehow feel like they used to be better before......for those who don't know, they used to be one of my top favourite places for noodles before they closed down. Now since they reopened....its pretty similar but not quite there yet....hopefully they can match what they served before. The cucumber dish was very refreshing though. It's a small place with very limited seating.

We ordered takeout and waited over 40 minutes for food. 4 to 5 other people who came and ordered after us got their food first. When we asked them how long the food was going to take they said they were making it now and we could see they just started putting food in their wok about 40 minutes after our order. This was as the table that arrived 10 minutes after us was halfway finished their food. We would not come again especially when there are so many other good options in the area.

I dont know if Koreans tastes will have different tastes, but it feels like real Chinese food. Its good to try once, but its just not to my taste. But even though the closing time had passed, people still waited to eat. (Orders must be placed 15 minutes before closing) Anyway, rather than saying it s delicious, I m grateful that it allowed me to eat at such a late hour!

I dont think my server was trying to be funny, but he made us laugh out loud. His eyes went wide when we ordered two Pao Mo noodles and 2 buns, and said Thats too much. He was right. We barely finished our Pao Mo, and we didnt end up ordering the buns. The food was amazing, will definitely come back to try the buns since it seems really popular. Most people order take out or delivery, very few tables, no music, and dim lighting.

Small, casual mom and pop shop selling Xian dishes hailing from Northwestern China. Food from this area is often hard to master but this restaurant does a superb job. The owners are very friendly, food is delicious, and the portion sizes are quite generous. Our favorites were their thick noodles and the lamb soup -- each sip of soup tastes like a bite of meat, in the best way possible. Parking is easy in this plaza. Mom & pop arent fluent in English, so if you are not familiar with food from this region, read the menu very carefully and/or be prepared for a (yummy) culinary adventure.

The best (rou jia mo, braised pork bun) Ive had outside of China! Ive looked for it all over since a trip to Xian, and the ones here are even better than the ones from the Xian Famous Foods chain in NYC, and the ones Ive tried in Toronto. Family-owned restaurant where everything is freshly made. Service is very helpful, polite, and efficient. My only suggestion would be to add English descriptions to the online menus for first-timers (I saw some people struggling with their order) You can get to an English menu with pictures by clicking order online from their website. If I lived closer Id eat here every week! Ill definitely be back when Im in town again!

Delicious flavour! Definitely try the noodles and the flatbread in soup. Theyre good the next day too. The restaurant only has take-out dishes and cutlery, so the atmosphere isnt the best. I prefer to just do take-out and eat at home. Be warned, the spicy sauce in the noodles will probably spill in the bag if youre not careful.

Small portions, expensive, poor service. Definitely not worth it. The cashier chopped the meat for me without washing her hands. She also charged me 15% more for a takeout, and only accepted cash and Wechat payment. Cost $50 for a meal I would at most pay $20 for.

These terracotta dumplings were so good I burned the roof of my mouth eating them so quickly. I did not care they were still boiling from the pot. I just wolfed them down like a savage wildling north of the wall. Well that was a great 3pm snack. 7:47 pm and cleared for landing, touch down and Im having a rather runny dumpling of my own, a whole lotta chive but no afterburner.

Hands down best Xian street food style dishes for miles around. If you havent had Chili Biang Biang (vegetarians take note!) you havent lived. Get the Biang Biang, get a bun, dip that bun and live with no regrets. Did I mention the noodles themselves are hand made when you order? Delicious. Then! Come back for flavor town with the Sweet and Sour Dumpling Soup, or the comforting Egg & Tomato Noodles (or... New menu option! Mix styles with BB + E&T together at last )... Really so many great dishes, been coming here since it was Sunny Spot on Main St. (gd rent-evictions) and the owner still works the till and has the same team from Sunny, and in the last couple years since the move theyve really hit their stride. Support new restaurants and your new addiction for Noodle perfection.

It tasted great before, then it got worse and worse. Prices are also getting higher and higher. The Roujiamo meat became tasteless and there was no soup. The steamed buns became perfunctory, the side dishes had too much MSG, and the taste was dry. Don t want that flavor to go away.

Local Guide
December 21, 2020

Ordered the from the delivery website. They charged CAD$33.5 from the delivery site. I would say that is pretty expensive for the dish of . I can easily get similar dish with much cheaper price < 20 with the same amount elsewhere. Way too expensive for the dish and the taste is just normal like others. If this price isnt far off, I will be okay with it. But hard to miss with $15 dollars differences. On top of that, the dish also claims to have potato in there but there isnt any when I ate it. A big disappointment.

This restarant has no idea how to run a business. We were not brought our plates and utensils until we asked for it. Our appetizer came very late and our food did not come out. We asked how much longer the food would take and they said 5 min several times. After an hour of waiting (yes actually) , the food still didnt come. So we told them to cancel the order and just left. If theyre not going to offer food at a restarant... Then maybe dont be a restaurant?

Small restaurant seating about 15 - 20 people. I really liked the decor and color scheme, really minimalistic and clean. Although the menu selection was small everything on it looked good. I was really eager to try the spicy beef cumin bun and their noodles but the restaurant seemed more interested in fulfilling their to-go orders than feeding the people in the restaurant. I think we waited over an hour for our food before we opted to cancel our order and left. Owners, if youre reading this please make sure you learn to prioritize your orders better. Im sure your food is good but its really unfortunate I wasnt able to try any.

The food was only ok. The menu was very limited. The chopped meat sandwich was too salty, not juicy enough, and I had to pay extra for aromatics that should be part of the package. Also Im pretty sure XiAn food is not supposed to be numb spicy like Sichuan, which this place was. Wont be returning.

It is the gem in Burnaby and you must try it if you haven t. The restaurant is small but clean and bright with yellow and white colours. Their noddles are all handmade, and the one with tomato and fried egg sauce is my favourite and must have every time when I was there. Xiao-chai is the other one I have to order each time especially in Winter. You can t image flour can become juicy and tender at the same time with veg and meat. Their food is local and it always recalls me the memories in China when I was young. If you want traditional family-style Chinese food, go there and you won t regret!

Ive only tried their pulled noodles once, and safe to say its pretty amazing. Im not super tolerant of spiciness (unfortunately I am growing out of it) and let them know to lower it, and it was perfect for me! I had a simple bowl with spicy oil sauce and veggies and I loved it. The texture of the noodles are chewy like the skin of a chinese dumpling, not soggy whatsoever. I like me a bowl of simplicity.

The Roujiamo tastes pretty good. . . But I think the noodle soup is really like MSG mixed with Lao Gan Ma. . .

I went here in the morning when it first opened. I ordered pulled noddles with pork and what I got served in under 2 mins was microwaved left overs. I could clearly hear a microwave and the food was served under 2 mins.

Very fulfilling! It is spicy and a perfect meal during this Spring. The noodles are handcrafted as you can hear the kneading sound while you are enjoying the foods. We each ordered and shared their new menu, Pork Dumpling.

This is small restaurant with unique Xian specialties that is not found readily in Burnaby. The food is prepared well though I found the one server a bit too busy when the restaurant was full. Overall, it was good meal with distinctive menu selections.

Anyone else in search of the perfect noodles? @adorables and I dropped by @terracotta_boyz_xian_noodle recently to try their Xi-an version of noodles! Basically theyre super wide noodles that can capture a lot of sauce with the extra surface area. We got the tomato and egg noodles, which were delicious. Added a little extra spicy oil for the much needed kick after a long day of work! The noodles are chewy, long, and so fun to eat! A good portion too. Also got a pork bun, which was less exciting. Flavors were good but overall too dry for my liking. The bun was crispy on the inside and soft inside with the flavorful pork. Overall a clean little store and I really enjoyed the noodles. A little on the pricey side for noodles but if Im in the area would drop by for my carb cravings

A bit disorganized as we ordered takeout and when we got there we were told the order didn t come through. It s a small place so i was surprised an order placed 10 mins earlier was forgotten about. But aside from that, i really like the fried beef sauce noodle.

The dough is very chewy and delicious Oily noodles are also good But the shredded chicken rice noodles are not delicious. The rice noodles are not the authentic Yunnan thick rice noodles. They are the thin ones. There is sesame oil in the soup base, which is good, but it has no taste. It only feels spicy. The rice noodles are not chewy enough.

Had the lamb noodle and the cumin beef bun. Beef bun was very flavourful with a good spicy kick. Noodles has good springiness, you can tell the are hand made. The soup base is a spicy sour base, really warms you up on a cold day. A point off for being cash only, with the renovation and the prices, it really shouldnt be cash only.

Comparing this to other Xian cuisine restaurants, I must say it isnt bad. But definitely not as good as some others. The very traditional Xian style cold noodle with sesame and chili oil had light but good flavour.. however the noodles were really clumped/melted together... (Never seen this before in Vancoucer or China). The Spicy lamb hand pulled noodle soup was great and authentic! But almost no lamb??! Lao Xian gives you tons of meat and its the same price. The cumin spiced Lamb hanbao was really good and prepared well! I will try again some other time, hopefully I came in on a day that they werent doing so well.. Hoping next time is better.
