Lovely ambience and great fresh food made to order. They cater for allergies and vegetarian food very well. All the food was fresh and tasty. The portion sizes were good and the taste was incredible. The chilli sauce is very spicy so be careful, but very tasty too.

Xian Restaurant is exactly the kind of spot you hope to stumble across when craving Asian cuisine — and thanks to a quick Google search, we did just that! The reviews were glowing, and now we understand why. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. We ordered the fried rice with egg and vegetables (generously portioned to feed 2–3 people comfortably), fried chicken wings, shrimp tempura, fried chicken dumplings, spring rolls, and one order of pork or beef ramen (can’t remember which, but it was fire). Every dish stood out: the wings had a slight ginger flavor that was so unique and tasty, the fried chicken and dumplings tasted like they were filled with magic, and the rice was the perfect base to reset our taste buds between bites. Each item was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The staff were beyond accommodating, especially as we went back and forth deciding what to get — never rushed, always helpful. The space itself is clean, well-kept, and beautifully decorated, giving the place a warm and authentic Asian vibe. And here’s the kicker — they offer takeaway, so if you’d rather cozy up at home with your feast, you totally can. Honestly, that alone makes Xian Restaurant a must-try. We’ll definitely be back! Oh wait, we already have lol!

Located in the heart of Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella, XiAn Restaurant is a hidden gem for lovers of authentic Asian flavors, with a special focus on ramen and traditional noodle dishes. As a ramen enthusiast, I found their menu both inviting and diverse, featuring standout dishes like the comforting Miso Ramen, the robustly flavored Ramen Picante, and the delicate yet satisfying Ramen with Tofu Egg and Veggies. Each bowl delivers a rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles that embrace you with warmth—a perfect choice for cooler days in the city.

The restaurant’s commitment to fresh, made-to-order meals shines through in every bite. From the tender Ternera en Salsa de Ostras to the delightful Tallarines de Huevo, the balance of textures and flavors is expertly achieved. For those seeking variety, the menu also offers traditional favorites like 샤오롱바오 (xiao long bao) and refreshing drinks such as their house-made fresh juices and a classic Mojito Basico, completing the dining experience.

What truly elevates XiAn is its atmosphere—an inviting blend of cozy indoor and charming outdoor seating, adorned with authentic Asian décor that enhances the dining journey. The service here is exceptional; staff members, especially Mila, provide attentive and genuine hospitality that makes guests feel valued and well cared for throughout their meal.

Portion sizes are generous without overwhelming, allowing you to savor multiple dishes. The fried rice with egg and vegetables, fried chicken wings with a unique ginger twist, and crispy shrimp tempura each highlight the kitchen’s attention to detail and fresh ingredients. Spices are handled with care, as noted by guests who praise the bold yet balanced chili sauce, adding an exhilarating kick that doesn’t overpower.

Whether you’re dining alone, with friends, or grabbing a takeaway feast, XiAn Restaurant strikes a harmonious balance between quality, authenticity, and value. Its blend of comforting ramen, flavorful entrees, and warm service makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking genuine Asian cuisine in Barcelona.
