When it comes to "Maria Noodle Restaurant", many Xi'an gourmets have their eyes lit up. The couple started selling noodles in 1984 and have been selling noodles for 34 years. Because the proprietress is called Maria, it is named Maria Noodle Restaurant. Unfortunately, when the demolition site was reopened two years ago, because "Maria" had been preemptively registered, it was renamed "Alley Deep" and handed over to his son Cui Xiaoguang to take care of. The alley deep noodle restaurant lives up to its name, it is hidden in the depths of Dongju Alley, but there are still many people who come to visit it.

Most of the Xi'an noodle restaurants are mainly beef noodles, and the chicken noodles and fried chicken thighs of the Xiangzishen family are the specialties of the store. After the diced chicken is fried in oil and potatoes, it is mixed with the oil and spicy seeds, and the aroma of breadcrumbs on the outside of the chicken is mixed with the aroma of the oil and spicy seeds and the wheat flavor of the noodles, giving it a unique taste. Spiced fried chicken thighs are also popular in the store, the marinated chicken thighs are fried to the outside and tender on the inside, and although the crispy skin is a little thick, the meat is tender and juicy, and the taste is moderately salty and fragrant, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. The fried chicken thighs are thoughtfully split before serving so that customers can eat them. In order to improve efficiency, the chicken thighs are fried before the store opens every day, and they become a "cold dish" when they are actually served. However, the cooled fried chicken thighs are still very popular with diners, and local citizens often come to take them away, so that the fried chicken thighs are always sold out before the stall closes.

The interior of the alley deep noodle restaurant is clean and tidy, and the operation room is semi-open, so customers can take in the busy scene of the back kitchen. The store is family-run and is a little understaffed. All the dishes are handmade, and there are many tedious operations such as rolling noodles and making beef meatballs. In order to maintain the consistent quality of the dishes, the noodle restaurant opens at 11 noon and closes at 3 pm, and the business hours are only four hours. At present, there is no branch of the noodle restaurant, and there are no plans to open a branch in the near future, and the Maria noodle restaurant in Xi'an has nothing to do with this store.
