Shaanxi Gourmet (CLOSED)

Shaanxi Gourmet is a tasty window to the cuisine of Xi’an. The storefront is lined with terracotta soldiers, while the chef and kitchen supplies hail directly from this Northwestern Chinese metropolis. We’re huge fans of the yangrou paomo ($7.50), an unleavened bread dish soaked in lamb soup, and all of the noodles, that are hand-pulled and made in-house. Sure, the staff may not speak much English, but all of the star dishes depict photographs for easy ordering, so just point and no dish disappoints.
