You must of course ask for the secret Chinese menus, as the Chinese-American fare does not appear to be of interest. They have have a special <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biangbiang_noodles\">Shaanxi noodles<\/a> dish, get it.  They have a special Xian dish which you can think of as like a Chinese hamburger, albeit with pork, Rouge Mo. Get it.
