    Great experience! Amazing for gluten free people, had some gluten free shrimp dumplings! So good. And had the stir fry w/ gluten free noodles. My server Meghan was so sweet and very understanding of my allergy. Only the best in San Marcos. Can’t wait to be back!

    We found this place by accident, however it is a hidden treasure. The staff are very friendly and our waiter was very helpful when answering our questions. Her suggestions proved to be a great choice. They have a lot of choices to choose from when it comes to sushi, and quite a few of our favorite Chinese dishes. I got the general tso's chicken along with two others in my group and all of us very much enjoyed it. Another one got an amazing noodle bowl, as shown by the pictures they actually make the noodles in front of you so they come out super fresh. Price wise it all depends on what you order prices can be expected to be anywhere from $10 to $13 a plate. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be going back.

    Nice sushi restaurant in San Marcos! We tried their signature rolls and were very satisfied! Their menu is wide, and you definitely can find a roll that will match your tastes. We ordered Red Dragon, Sumo Roll and Hardee Roll. All rolls were delicious, with a lot of fish inside and delicious sauces. As an appetizer we ordered Takoyaki, this dish was good as well.

    I sent this message to their private chat 2 weeks ago but nobody care. So I think I have to send it here so they can pay attention to their food. I ate in the restaurant and ordered some soup dumplings to go for my husband, when I got home, my husband ate half and told me the dumplings were raw ....It is not any flavor issues, they were not fully cooked. I can not understand it since that was a Saturday afternoon not busy at all. My husband's stomach was upset that night. 😫

    Prices reasonably fair. Flavorful dishes. Service tight as our only waiter Austin although fantastic job was only server on site. Ordered veggie spring rolls (steamed & fried), alligator roll, pork buns, dan dan noodles & cold sesame noodles wit ginger shrimp broccoli.

    Service was great! Everything we had was really tasty and fresh. Everything was made to order. The noodles & spicy edamame were delicious. The sushi was a 7 out of 10 for me. We ordered 5 orders of soup dumplings that had absolutely no soup in them whatsoever which was a huge disappointment due to it being the reason we went there. =( The spicy cucumber was an 8 out of 10. It was a bit soggy but great flavor. I'd definitely come back to try new menu items and more of those noodles.

    Friendly and speedy staff ! Ordered a few rolls for lunch and they went all out and plated it on a boat! Most other sushi places give you five different choices of crabmix, This place is quite different, they have some very interesting combinations of rolls. Very enjoyable lunch and we will definitely be coming back.

    Amazing food. I had the red braised beef noodle dish and truly spectacular. Did not skimp on beef. This is not your average Asian food place. Noodles are made fresh in house and the garlic sauce deserves a TV show. Very expansive menu that I can't wait to explore more

    Atmosphere: Casual, open and clean Service: Fantastic! Wecoming, knowledgeable. Dominique is excellent. Food: Just YES! We enjoyed everything! Housemade pork gyoza are perfect and lightly fried, wonton soup is light and flavorful with delicate wontons, Mongolian beef is spicy goodness, dan dan noodles were spicy with light sauce and hand pulled noodles. So happy Xian came to town! Pricing: Moderate

    We are from Houston and everytime we go to visit my mom, we always make our way to this San Marcos location. It is AMAZING! Delicious food, good prices and terrific service. I don't see why there isn't a line out the door for this place. Their homemade noodles are what makes this place in a league of their own. There are plenty of vegetarian and some vegan options as well. On my last visit I had the vegetable dumplings, Gua Bao with tofu and Dan Dan noodles made with the wide noodles and tofu. I highly recommend all of it! I normally order the seasame balls too but I forgot. Needless to say, I'm still disappointed in myself. I crave their homemade dumplings and noodles all of the time. As a matter of fact, I wish I had some right now. Well, it always gives us a reason to go visit :) When you go, ask for Joel or Domenic. They're great servers!

    Best noodles I’ve ever had hands down. I came here 3 days in a row with my girlfriend. The server (Joel) and owner (Gani) are very nice, hospitable people and came and talked with us at our table for a minute. Our food came out fast and was insanely good. Get the Dan Dan Noodles.

    I went and ate inside the restaurant besides the young black male server catering to everyone that was white and completely ignoring me, the only black person in the restaurant at the time, to the point that I had to literally walk up to him when I needed something or even TO ORDER, despite that the food is INCREDIBLE, despite the distasteful service. Just decided to try them again through door dash, not only does the food look JUST AS APPETIZING as it was inside of the restaurant it was packaged neatly and perfectly! I’m a satisfied customer! Food taste wise and looks is consistent and appealing to the eye, as well!

    Wow!! The hand crafted noodles are incredible! The Gyoza 🥟 was pan fried perfectly and the sauce with them was great. My main dish was absolutely incredible, the spice level was exactly what I was looking for. The salad dressing is perfect, my wife and I loved it. My wife ended up getting Gua Bao pork buns and she loved them. If you are in the area and want some well priced delicious food check this place out!

    Wonderful traditional cuisine. We enjoyed every bites. As far as I know the only place here in San Marcos that sells chicken feet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Place was clean. Food cost was average.

    Dan Dan noodles were good! Not too spicy but not bland either. The dragon fruit boba tea was very sweet though

  • 5/5 Michael M. 8 months ago on Google
    The spicy a Edamame has a very unique and delicious taste! And they're miso soup is the best around!

  • 5/5 Nick D. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands down best noodles you can get in San Marcos. Highly recommend the Dan Dan noodles. The stir fry noodles are really good too if you're not into spicy.

  • 5/5 Laila K. 7 months ago on Google
    Yum! We enjoyed a nice pot of tea, a few happy hour apps, and ramen. Friendly, attentive staff and amazing food.

    GREAT FOOD. FRESH! GREAT SERVICE

  • 4/5 cm s. 3 years ago on Google
    Some items are not available, which makes sense considering most people in the local area wouldn’t order chicken feet. The lo mai gai was nearly frozen in the center, but otherwise amazing (and honestly I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be served this way, I’ve just never had it like that). I’ve had surprises each time I’ve eaten here but never any disappointments. The staff is incredibly helpful and go out of their way to provide excellent customer service. Most dishes have a vegan option and do not be afraid to ask if you see a dish you like but do not find a non-meat option. Once they finally get mao pao tofu (personal favorite Chinese dish) in, it would absolutely be a five star experience! If you’re in the area, this should be your go to Chinese cuisine.

    A great find on our way up to Austin from San Antonio! It was all cooked to order, presented well and very fresh. I knocked down a star for the price - we've been to very similar establishments and gotten more dim sum for the same dollar point. However, the soup and lunch specials were priced well, tasty, and we enjoyed everything! Our server was friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 John C. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing dumplings! Had a great time, wait staff is very friendly and the Dan Dan noodles are delish.

  • 5/5 Gilbert Hernandez J. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mohamad Nadim A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great, loved the taste and feel of the place.

  • 5/5 Jeana R. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing food. I have enjoyed nearly everything I have has there, my only complaint is when getting the fresh noodles there was a few parts that clumped together and did not get cooked fully, I ate around it and was very satisfied though. Been there a couple of times now each time ordering something different and loving it!!

  • 5/5 Julie K. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was good here! We had a couple different sushi rolls, Ma Po Tofu, Ton Katsu, and Dan Dan Noodles with green beans and pork belly. Great service too!

  • 5/5 Yoshua L. 3 years ago on Google
    Honest to god this is the first good asian restaurant in san marcos. They have great sushi, ramen, and typical chinese dishes. Staff is really friendly. Fresh noodles that you can see

  • 4/5 Michelle G. 1 year ago on Google
    I have come to this place about 3 to 4 times now, and I’m always really happy with how my experience turns out. I love the variety and options and the presentation of the food when it comes out. The food itself is really good and I have gotten a couple of things from their menu and I’m really happy with how all of them tasted and turned out. The service there is absolutely great. I love the people who work there. I’ve definitely seen progress from when I first got there and when they first opened up compared to now and I’m really happy with the progress within the staff environment.

    Dan Dan noodles! Dan Dan noodles! But the Orange chicken, sweet-and-sour chicken, Stir fried shrimp noodles, soup dumplings, and the sushi were all excellent. The waiter was very good. Overall all excellent experience

  • 5/5 Norma G. 3 years ago on Google
    This was our first but certainly not last visit. The decor is pretty and very spacious. The food so good. We got the Dan Dan spicy noodles and General Tsao chicken. Absolutely yummy. Try the shrimp and cream cheese wontons. Our server, Joel, was warm, welcoming and delightful!

  • 1/5 jeremy M. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was decent but I've never waited so long for service and to be acknowledged. Just getting water takes them a half hour. Went there two times with the same result. They only had one server both times. Sad bc I wanted to give them my business.

  • 5/5 Christopher J. 3 years ago on Google
    This is awesome, we have an actual high quality dim sum menu in San marcos! This is the best Chinese food I've eaten in town.

  • 3/5 Melissa C. 3 years ago on Google
    Was not impressed. My Ramen soup was cold and the pork belly was dry. Not sure how you can get pork belly to come out dry?

  • 5/5 Rachel R. 3 years ago on Google
    Coming from Denver, we had an amazing food scene. This restaurant was a lucky first pick for our first night getting Asian. They are amazing, and so great at accommodating for gluten free. We don’t even live in San Marcos, but we will be back! (Shown here is the gluten free Shoyu Ramen)

    great place. the waiter was so awesome and recommended things as he should. sushi is fresh and scrumptious. 12/10.

  • 2/5 David N. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was very slow. Food came out before the drinks, and it was cold. The server said she was the only one on staff... if unemployment is so high why can’t you higher more staff? When the food finally did come the second time it was good though.

  • 2/5 orbitalbreaky 3 years ago on Google
    They were all out of the 3 different dishes i wanted to order.

  • 5/5 Enrique U. 3 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere calm, relaxing. Had the angry crab 8 pieces Absolutely delicious from the first bite it was absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers you as many sauces as you would like I chose soy, spicy mayo, and sweet and sour. The taste was incredible throughout the whole meal.

  • 3/5 John M. 3 years ago on Google

    I was hoping for better with the prices they charge. I had never had legit dim dum or dumplings before, outside of buffets, and I figured since this place has such high reviews I'd finally be able to give it a decent try! We got the Shui Mai, Har Gow, and Soup Dumplings, with a Philly roll on the side. The Soup Dumplings were depressingly bland. The Har Gow also didn't have much taste. The Shui Mai was decent, but I've had similar dumplings at a buffet that tasted just as good, and I was expected better than that. Sad to say the Philly roll was the best thing I tried (and why I didn't want to give only 1 star because they certainly seem capable of better). As for the restaurant itself, I ordered the food to be picked up between 5PM and 5:30PM. When I arrived, according to the ticket the food had been prepared and finished by 4:39PM so had already been sitting there for over 20 minutes. I can't help but think if it was a little warmer it may have tasted better. Additionally, when I walked in I could see the kitchen from the front door, and I could see the worker who walked up to greet me at the front desk had no mask on, and in fact was still putting it on by the time they reached me. I understand working in a hot kitchen wearing a mask all day isn't exactly easy but I would expect an attempt to at least feign care at the bare minimum, because with that kind of sloppy attitude I almost hate to think what state everything else behind doors might be in. It wasn't such a terrible occurrence that I would refuse to try again, and I hear from others who visit locations in Austin that the noodles are the best thing to get there, so I may give them a try some time in the future. But for now I would caution against the dim sum, and to-go orders.

  • 3/5 J G. 3 years ago on Google
    Visited Xian yesterday and came away with something of a mixed experience. We started with the gua bao and an order of salmon nigiri. Both of these were excellent. The gua bao sauce was wonderful, and the nigiri was very fresh and extremely well-cut. The main dishes were mapo tofu and dan dan noodles. This is where the food took a turn. Both dishes had bok choy that had not been chopped, so taking bites was difficult. The tofu broth was very heavy and oily, and both me and my girlfriend had some stomach discomfort after eating. The noodles didn't have that problem, but also weren't particularly flavorful. The overall flavor profile of these seemed to be "salt". Then there's the restaurant itself. We sat at a booth table. The cushions were barely there, it felt like sitting on a hard piece of plywood. The waiter seemed a bit confused when we asked him about the menu, and we ended up getting a different item than we meant to order. There was also an extreme amount of noise from the kitchen (it sounded like someone spraying the dishes), to the point where it interrupted conversation. The portion sizes were good, the dim sum was good, and I'm excited to try the sushi again. If I was rating on these things it would be five stars. The main dishes were poorly flavored and prepared, the ambience was poor, and the stomach pains after would give this a one star rating.
