Restaurant Review
A Chinese warrior proudly overlooks the patrons that enter
Xi’an’s gates, and so he might, for this statue knows he’s guarding the best
kept secret in Orpington. Serving consistently good Beijing and Szechuan
cuisine the restaurants small and rather plain decoration is easily forgiven;
what it lacks in frivolous aesthetics it more than makes up for in some truly
exquisite dishes. I’ve returned several times to try and put my finger on the
secret to their black bean sauce but am often distracted by the delicious range
of many other menu favourites (Sesame prawn toast has never tasted so
good) .Courteous staff provide an efficient service and ensure your glass is
always full and though a trip to Xi’an may cost a little extra, the food is
reasonably priced and far outstrips the competition. Reputedly Xi-an was Gary
Rhodes’ takeaway restaurant of choice - who are we to argue with a Michelin star
chef?
