Reception

Condé Nast Traveler says the restaurant's noodles "will warm your spirit on a cold Seattle day".[10] Seattle Metropolitan says, "Xi'an Noodles doesn't offer much in the way of ambience, but nobody in line to place an order at the cash register much cares." The magazine has also said Wu "delivers the best version [of biangbiang noodles] currently found in city limits".[4] Hsiao-Ching Chou and Allecia Vermillion included the business in Seattle Metropolitan's 2022 list of "Our Very Favorite Chinese Restaurants".[11] The magazine also named the University District a "best lunch spot" in north Seattle in 2022.[12] Thrillist says, "This U District noodle spot might project a cafeteria feel, but the noodle dishes are nothing like your late night dorm take-out."[13]

Jay Friedman included the business in Eater Seattle's 2019 list of 15 "essential Asian noodle destinations" in Seattle.[14] The website's Gabe Guarente included the biangbiang noodles in a 2019 list of "10 Seattle Dishes That Became Stars in 2019".[15] Friedman and Jade Yamazaki Stewart included Xi'an Noodles in Eater Seattle's 2022 list of "20 Knockout Chinese and Taiwanese Restaurants in the Seattle Area".[9] Writers for the site also included the restaurant in 2022 lists of "14 Outstanding Restaurants in Seattle's University District" and "Some of the Best Inexpensive Meals in Seattle".[16][17]
