Jia San Soup Parcel Restaurant
Another one of Xi’an’s culinary delights is guantang baozi, or rather “steamed buns filled with sauce”. Your choice of mutton, beef, prawn, vegetable, or a combination thereof. The best place to pick up this hearty delicacy is at Jia San Soup Parcel Restaurant on Muslim Snack Street. Look for the massive, vaulting blue archway that marks the entrance to steamed bun heaven.

Rou Jia Mo 肉夹馍
Located across from the Drum Tower (West Main Street) is Fanji Restaurant, famous for its cheap and delicious rou jia mo, or grilled bread stuffed with minced pork. A bowl of filling soup and a piece of roujiamo or two is so cheap as to be almost free (RMB15 for both), and the restaurant exudes the perfect lunchtime atmosphere.

Shaanxi Liangpi (Cold Noodles) 陕西凉皮
Cold noodles are considered by Shaanxi locals to be a seasonal snack, consumed most often in summer. Refreshing and light, cold noodles are most often topped with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic oil, bean sprouts, chives and other invigorating vegetables and seasonings. This dish is available at almost any streetside restaurant in Xi’an, with stalls and vendors serving them up for on-the-go noodle-lovers.
