It was in the bustling city of XI’AN (shee-ahn), the ancient capitol of China, that many of the culinary styles and tastes of the Chinese people were developed. Its location made it a center where may cultures exchanged ideas and customs, and where trade introduced ingredients both fresh and exotic. We continue these traditions today at XI’AN Restaurant, where you will experience a cross-fertilization of cultures much like that which occurred in the ancient trading center. Dishes inspired by ancient times are now prepared using the freshest local ingredients. And traditional selections are influenced by a thoroughly contemporary concern for healthy, low-fat cooking. We invite you to enjoy a meal with us and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy preparing it for you!
