Xi’an Impression is a compact Chinese restaurant on Benwell Road near Emirates Stadium, specialising in the food of Xi’an and the wider Shaanxi region. Its casual dining room focuses on bold spices, handmade textures and the hearty street food traditions associated with this part of northwestern China.
Wide biangbiang noodles are the best known attraction, served with special chilli sauce, chunky beef or a combination of pork, tomato and egg. Further hand pulled noodle dishes feature minced beef with sesame and chilli oil, Qishan pork sauce, fried pork with bean paste and tomato with egg.
Xi’an street food extends beyond noodles to dumplings, cold liangpi noodles and bread filled with seasoned pork or cumin beef. Shredded Xi’an bread soaked in beef broth offers a particularly comforting dish, while wontons and sweet potato noodles in hot and sour soup provide further warming choices.
Cold starters such as cucumber with garlic, black fungus and boneless chicken with ginger are designed for sharing before the main dishes. Xinjiang chicken with hand pulled noodles, stir fried greens and vegetarian dumplings give the concise menu useful variety for lunch, dinner, takeaway or delivery.
