In addition to the Terracotta Warriors and the Xi'an Incident, the love of noodles is also a major feature that outsiders will think of when they mention Xi'an. Xi'an noodles are rich in variety, just lo noodles, there are biangbiang noodles, Zhenzi noodles, oil noodles, lo noodles and other options. Unlike the noodles in the Jiangnan area, which are heavy on toppings and light on noodles and pursue exquisiteness, Xi'an noodles pay great attention to the noodles themselves, paying attention to the chewiness of the noodles, so Xi'an noodles are mostly hand-rolled and rough in appearance.

When it comes to Xi'an noodle restaurants, we have to mention Liuxiang noodles, there is only one type of noodles here, but it attracts many people to queue up. Liuxiang Mian is located at the mouth of Jiqing Lane on Choban Street, although the alley is dilapidated, but because many restaurants are stationed here, diners come and go to inject a lot of vitality into this narrow alley. Willow Lane is the most famous restaurant in the alley, and although it is located in the alley, many people still come.

Liuxiang Noodle Restaurant only serves one type of dry beef noodles, but there are large and small bowls, and you can also choose to add vegetables, meat or noodles. As soon as the noodles are served on the table, you can feel the reality of the Xi'an people - the hand-rolled noodles are very generous, and the side dishes are covered with a thick layer on the noodles. The sauce in the bowl is plentiful to ensure that every part of the noodles is stained with the sauce. When mixing the noodles, the sauce blends with chili oil and sesame oil to make the noodles slippery and not sticky. Although the oil in the bowl floats half knuckle high in the sauce, there is no greasy feeling at all when eating, which is not only due to the vinegar, but also because the vegetables are blanched and half-cooked, and the refreshing vegetables neutralize the greasy feeling. The beef is hidden under the noodles, and the marinated beef grains are simmered for a long time, and the meat is rotten and tendons when eaten. The marinade is concentrated in the beef, and it will feel slightly salty when eaten alone, so it should be eaten with the noodles to let the salty and fragrant meat flavor enter the noodles and blend with the flavor of the noodles themselves. The beef is soft and rotten, the noodles are tough but not hard, and the refreshing side dishes such as fungus, soybean sprouts, and cabbage make this bowl of noodles richer. Beef noodles are indispensable for beef noodles and a variety of side dishes. After a bite of the noodles, you will feel the juice spilling from between your teeth, then the crunchy vegetables crunch in your mouth, and finally return to the noodles themselves. In this way, the simple and daily matter of eating noodles has become no longer monotonous. For the best taste, be sure to eat as soon as possible to prevent the noodles from falling off after the water.

The noodle soup is provided free of charge, so all you have to do is wave to the staff carrying the soup pot. The noodle soup in many noodle restaurants is not fresh because it has been left out for too long, resulting in a strong sour soup, but this is not the case with the noodle soup of Liuxiang noodles. The freshly poured noodle soup is very hot and still retains the aroma of the noodles, so if you have a cold, are drunk, or in the cold winter, drink a bowl of noodle soup to warm your stomach and be comfortable. In addition to noodle soup, it is also refreshing to eat noodles in summer with iced sour plum soup or Bingfeng orange soda.

Compared to the other noodle restaurants on the list, this old noodle restaurant, which has been open for more than 20 years, looks more modern. Renovated in early 2018, Liuxiang Noodle Restaurant is more modern than other noodle restaurants, with creamy white real stone paint walls on the outside of the store, which is eye-catching in the old alley. The interior of the store is white as the background color, and the white circle chandelier on the top makes the store look spacious and bright. The clerks are uniformly dressed in purple uniforms and look quite professional; But the quality of service is still in the old-fashioned style of Xi'an. The store implements semi-self-service service, WeChat scan code to order, and then go to the disinfection cabinet to pick up dishes and chopsticks. Many customers reported that the service attitude of the clerk was bad, and if the customer agreed a few seconds slower when calling the number, the clerk would be counted down; Some guests still have a little noodles left in their bowls, and when they bow their heads and reply to a message, the bowl has been taken away. Still, to be able to impress guests with just one noodle and have a lot of fans, Willow Lane noodles are also worth trying.
