Taste good, environment is subpar tho. Hell, who came to this for their environment? Try it if you want the authentic Chinese food!

WHEN: 1/21/22 Shaanxi Datang is 100% the most underrated sichuan restaurant. Every time I come home to LA I tell my family I want to eat here because no other place has noodles this good and this affordable and with such big portions. It's a family owned eatery and on any given day you can see the daughter doing her homework on one of the tables while father cooks in the kitchen and the mom serves the food. If you walk into any restaurant and see this, know the foods gonna hit. What we usually get: A02. Spicy Cold Steamed Noodle w/ Sesame Sauce ($7) - liang pi! My favorite cold noodles with vinegary and peanutty flavors so good! C14. Hot Boiled Fish Fillet ($15) - huge massive bowl of boiled fish, very very spicy D06. Chili Oil Noodle w/ Lamb add on ($13) - hands down the best dish. Hand pulled biang biang noodles served in a similar spicy vinegar sauce as the liang pi but with tender pieces of lamb. Hits the spot every time. Shaanxi Datang is consistent, cheap, fast, friendly, and always delicious. I wish more people would try them out. The outside may not seem like much but please support this business. I really don't want them to shut down

DELICIOUS FOOD. I go to this plaza all the time, but never even noticed this place. I'm glad I got to go with someone who suggested it since it's my first time trying cuisine from this region. What I've learned recently is to always get the dishes that are unique to whatever regional cuisine the restaurant gets it's namesake from or whatever they specialize in since so many Chinese restaurants offer a smorgasbord of almost everything under the sun (that means whatever Americanized styled dishes that you're craving for!) We got the: 1) Shanxi Spicy Cold Steamed Noodle: -YOU HAVE TO GET THIS. IT'S ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, SO SO GOOD. -It's a specialty from this region and even as I'm typing this I'm drooling at the thought of eating it again. -The noodles are very doughy, and bready and soaked up all the sauces to the point of being soggy, but the texture still had some chewiness to it, despite the softness. Perfection. -Crunchy thinly sliced cucumber and beansprouts and pieces of bread also soaked up the cilantro sauce wonderfully. The spiciness wasn't too strong, so I could inhale everything. 2) Qishan Spicy Pork Minced Burger: -With the slight dryness of the bread, the moist and tender pork, along with the chili oil made a great combination. 3) Lamb Pita Bread Lamb Soup: -Lamb was moist and slid right off the bone. -Lots of clear noodle and not gonna lie, this is the first time I've EVER had soup with bread in it (that's not croutons). -The bread, although soggy, soaked up the soup nicely and added to the doughy texture (as it's supposed to be). -Interesting dish and if I wasn't so fixated on the other noodles, I would have eaten much more of this. 4) Shangxi pepper Chili Soup: -Lots, lots, lots of veggies (carrots, cabbage, and green beans)! -Thick consistency soup (cringe, but I really just wanted to use it as sauce on rice), but it came with so much. -Came out super hot and it wasn't spicy either. Kinda sour, not too salty, and a bit peppery. -Also had lots of meatballs in it too. Very unique meatballs with some doughy bread in it too. Definitely a different texture from what I'm used to. Opened super late in comparison to other restaurants in the area and the food is also affordable. Portions are pretty huge too and we ended up taking both soups to go. Definitely coming back to try more and to get more of those amazing noodles.

My boyfriend found this place for us to try! Shaanxi food always sounds good so I of course said yes! We are so glad we discovered this place for hot, spicy, flavorful, and authentic Shaanxi food. If you didn't know Shaanxi is a province in in China famous for its Terracotta Soldiers. But within China, it has a local speciality, the biang biang mian (油泼扯面) - a form of hand pulled noodles! We loved the dish. Among other delicious dishes, we also got lamb paomo 羊肉泡馍 - lamb soup with little dough chunks. It was the BEST! After having this here, I know where to go next time there is a craving! We also ordered Spicy Cumin Lamb Skewers or 羊肉串儿 pronounced Yang Rou Chuan, to top it all off. All three dishes were delicious and hot! We will definitely be back for more delicious and authentic Shaanxi food!

他们有油泼面！ They have my favorite dish of noodles. It's authentic. I know because I lived in the area where these dishes originated from. And I was happy that I can find these here in the California. Hard to find some of these dishes.

Great food

Food took FOREVER. We ordered 2 dishes, 40 minutes has passed and still no food. We tried canceling our order but they said the black bean noodle was done. So we just paid for that and left to Byo boba for popcorn chicken. Service was beyond slow. People gotta go back to work in time. And the place only had another family in there. It was super busy or anything
Finally found authentic shaanxi food in socal! Simple decor, friendly staff. All four items we tried were excellent and just like what I've had before in China. Definitely coming back!

This spot is really good. We drive all the way from colton to eat here for dinner. We try something different each time we come and we normally order 3-4 dishes. Our favorite is the hot and sour cabbage, garlic bok choy and tomato egg fried rice

I have been here many times for their Liang pi noodles. There was even one time I came at the end of the night right before close for Liang pi but they were sold out. The shop owner kindly made a fresh batch just for me because she knows that's what I always order here. So what's the deal? Their Liang pi noodles are fresh and homemade. When you pick it up, it's firm enough to maintain its shape and won't break. It's drenched in a spicy chili oil sesame mixture that gives this dish such a nutty mouth numbing umami flavor. There are some beans sprouts, cucumber slices and cubes of chewy gluten that soaks up the sauce. What is gluten? It's basically a non fermented bean product. When you get this dish, you mix it all up and dig in. I've tried many places with Liang pi and this place by far does it right. Ok I did get some other stuff like cumin lamb which is also very spicy but oh so tasty. It's a tiny bit gamy from the lamb which I really like. Water bucket lamb soup with mo (when naan bread meets pita bread and they have a child, you get mo). My one non spicy dish that has a delicate flavor. The soup is light but definitely not bland. Theres some vermicelli noodles, wood ear fungus, bean curd skin and pieces of soft lamb. You can tear up the mo and put it in the soup kind of like croutons or dip the mo in the soup. Overall I love this place. It's a mom and pop small restaurant next to a super market. It's not decorated fancy and they always have the tv on a Chinese kid show for their daughter who hangs out in the restaurant. Do I care? Nope! It's the quality and taste of the food that counts and that's what's going to get me coming back again and again.

Is this restaurant still open? Just had an unauthorized access to my Doordash account ordered from this restaurant worths $189.27. This restaurant is in LA, while I'm in the bay area. The odd thing is, the order was confirmed at 3:35 pm PST today and it's ready for a pickup at 3:39 pm. Within 4 min?? Even a fast food restaurant couldn't get an order ready that fast, not to mention packing an order worths almost $200 (16 dishes to be exact). I tried calling the restaurant several times (within minutes from 3:39 pm) to block the person picking up, but nobody picked up the phone. Sounds fishy? You bet. I'm posting this to ensure nobody else had to experience this. Until someone from the restaurant responds and cooperates with our investigation with Doordash, this post will remain. I sure hope Yelp also will keep this review. At this moment, I don't know what to think of this restaurant. The last thing I want to do is to jeopardize a restaurant business during this COVID time, but the more I think about this, the more this should warrant a proper investigation. If the perpetrator out there is using this restaurant for their fraud operation, it's even more reason this restaurant should join effort to investigate this. IMO, this needs to be prevented for other restaurants too. Screenshots included as proofs.
