Among the Xi'an noodle restaurants, the same name as Liuxiang noodles is the sloppy noodle restaurant. Since its opening in 1986, there have been more than 30 franchise stores across the country, among which the most popular is the original old store located at the intersection of Xiqi Road and Jiefang Road. Many diners think that the name of the noodle restaurant is seriously inconsistent with the delicious noodles, and wonder if the name of the restaurant has a deep meaning. In fact, the name of the noodle restaurant has no deep meaning, it is the same as the owner's real name, and "horse" and "tiger" are the third sound.

In addition to the sloppy name, the appearance of the noodles is also very sloppy, and the noodles are undecorated, which looks a little too casual. In fact, under the noodles lies the protagonist of this bowl of noodles - a secret cut of beef. Diners can find a lot of large pieces of beef by constantly stirring, which is quite a treasure hunt.

Sloppy noodles are sloppy noodles, that is, the sauce marinade of mixed noodles. There are three main types of noodles: meat noodles, vegetarian noodles and fried sauce noodles, the sloppy noodles are mainly meat noodles, the beef is large and tender, the flavor is rich, the bowl is missing bean sprouts, potatoes, carrots and other vegetarian dishes, the only green comes from the coriander and a small amount of green onions turned out from the bottom of the bowl. The taste of the sloppy noodles is not ambiguous at all, and the hand-rolled noodles are soft at first, and you can feel the tenacity when you chew. When you take a bite of the noodles with the sauce, you can feel the mellow flavor of the vinegar and the right amount of acid, the unique aroma of coriander, and the rich spicy flavor of the oily spicy seeds. If you feel that the crispy texture is missing in your mouth, you can order a spicy radish kimchi with noodles. Or imitate the eating method of local diners in Xi'an, pick out a few grains from a basket of garlic on the table and peel them, take a bite of garlic and a mouthful of noodles, and eat it with sweat and energy. Eating meat and noodles, guests from afar can experience the true meaning of "noodles" often mentioned by Xi'an people.

The façade of the old sloppy noodle restaurant is very simple, and it has a low-key sense of not showing the mountains and waters. On the gray brick wall hangs a plaque inscribed by the writer Jia Pingwa, with the words "Sloppy Noodle Restaurant" written on it. The words "100-year-old shop" on the left side of the plaque are a bit exaggerated, but the secret beef recipe in the store is indeed inherited from the ancestors. The left and right sides of the entrance are the cash register and the operation room, and the walls in the cash register are hung with awards, and the price list is pasted on the side; Like Liuxiang noodles, the sloppy noodle restaurant is also a good bowl of noodles to beat the world. The noodle restaurant adopts self-service service, and customers need to wait for the dishes to be completed at the window of the operation room after payment, and they need to solve the problem of pouring noodle soup by themselves. Although guests can observe the chef through the glass window of the operation room, such self-service is hardly satisfying. At present, Ma Hu Noodle Restaurant has four branches in Xi'an, but the taste of the branches is still not comparable to the old restaurant, so it is recommended that customers give priority to the old restaurant.
