Food was not nice especially for a traditional sweet and sour chicken dish. The sweet and sour sauce was very runny and the fried rice was rather dry... quite disappointing

The food from Xian is always hot & tasty but today I ordered fried prawns in a Thai sauce and was really disappointed. The prawns were not fried and I felt the sweetness of the Thai sauce was overwhelming. You have to guess as there are no pictures of the dish. I will order from Xian again but I won’t be ordering the fried chilli prawns.

There was fast delivery - it took 25 mins to come! The food is delicious, especially the sweet and sour chicken. One thing I would say is that the fish fillet in ginger had too much batter and the chow mein was a bit dry.

After waiting for nearly 2 hours for the food I called the restaurant to be told the food hadn't even been prepared yet so ended up having to cancel the order.

Awful customer service. Spoke to an extremely rude woman called Zoe who argued and shouted at us. After calling to complain because we had been waiting for 2hrs even though when we placed the order it was a 30min wait, she argued with my mother for a good 15 minutes and did not apologise or offer any sort of compensation once. Furthermore would not allow us to speak to a manager or give us their name. I got second hand embarrassment for Zoe. During collection there was a queue of people who were all in the same situation as is it was awful. Rude people they need to sort themselves out don’t take as many orders if you can’t prepare them all.

The prawn crackers were the tastiest thing in the order. The Singapore fried noodles was pedestrian. Fried rice was nothing special, despite its name. Do yourself a favour and drink 1 litre of water, better result for your pocket.

Extremely poor excuse for a “meal”. Little to no care was taken in it’s preparation. Most of what arrived was utterly disgusting and/or wrong. Most was bland, some of it burnt, some of it in grey-ish slimy gravy. Pretty disgusting. Will never order from there again.

The food was okay at best, ordered 6 different dishes and not one of them was up to a good standard. Prawn balls, the batter was soft and doughy, the dumpling/ dim sum were rubbery. The shredded chilly beef was ok, the beef noodles had a burnt smell to them. The veg spring rolls here fine, but you can hardly go wrong with those.

Absolutely atrocious! We ordered our meal at 19:30, with an estimated delivery time of 21:25. As of 22:10 (almost 3 hours after placing our order), we're still waiting for the delivery. The restaurant is not taking phone calls or providing updates on timing, leaving us in limbo, so we've been left with no other option other than to buy food elsewhere and to cancel this order. Totally appreciate things may be busy on New Year's Eve, but if there's a risk they're unable to process the order, they shouldn't accept the order!!!

Best Chinese restaurant in north London. Authentic Szechuan food. Check out their traditional Szechuan offerings on the menu. Highly recommend their Fragrant Boneless Chicken in a Pile of Chilis dish. Will definitely order from here next time we do takeaway. They are also now a Chinese grocery store. Impressive selection of choices. Really worth a visit. I was stopping in there every few days before we moved a bit further away recently. Luckily for me they deliver groceries through Uber eats. Buy from Xian. You won't regret it.

Sweet and sour chicken honk Kong style does NOT even look like meat but more like processed mush in soggy bread crumbs in a rancid sauce (took a bite, spat it out) threw away along with the rice as there was nothing to eat with it now, house special chow mein was a full portion of overpowering sauce, grissle and noodles, threw away, the mini spring rolls and pancake rolls are exactly the same thing, they appear home made ( not very well) but edible. Sweet and sour king prawn balls were also thrown away ( may I suggest you change the oil in your fryer ) they too were shockingly bad. All that disgusting slop for twenty pounds and seventy pence. Think I'll be getting a pizza after I have thrown up. I am pleased to say I will not be returning
