Why go
Xi'an is a practical Beverly Hills pick when timing and location matter more than a destination-dining brief. It works especially well for an easy late dinner on Canon Drive, while diners seeking a bigger occasion should compare it with Funke, Il Pastaio, Loukà Beverly Hills, La Scala, or Nua.
About Xi'an
Xi'an is a Beverly Hills option to consider when the plan depends on timing and location. Its hours run from 12 PM into the evening Monday through Saturday, with Sunday service beginning at 4 PM, so it can fit a range of plans without making the restaurant the whole point of the night.
The decision case is simple: use Xi'an when convenience matters. If you are comparing options as part of a wider plan, use our full Beverly Hills restaurants guide, plus the Beverly Hills hotels guide and Beverly Hills bars guide if dinner is part of a longer night.
Use it for the evening slot, not the splurge slot
The strongest argument here is practicality. Xi'an is open until 9:30 PM on Monday through Wednesday and Sunday, until 10 PM on Thursday and Friday, until 10:30 PM on Saturday. If you are weighing it against other options, Funke or Il Pastaio may make more sense for a different kind of dinner plan; Xi'an is the simpler call when the priority is a direct Beverly Hills meal within its posted hours.
Keep expectations grounded. Xi'an is best recommended for schedule and fit rather than as a dinner built around awards, chef details, prices, service formats, or signature dishes.
Who should choose it
Choose Xi'an when you want a direct Beverly Hills dining plan and the posted hours work for your schedule. Skip it if the goal is a restaurant chosen around accolades, a chef narrative, or a highly specific dining format. For deeper city planning, compare the rest of your Beverly Hills itinerary before committing the whole evening.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Xi'an brings the flavors and rhythms of Shaanxi to Beverly Hills, offering a tactile, communal counterpoint to the neighborhood's formal Italian and steakhouse traditions. The kitchen favors hand-pulled noodles, cumin-and-chili lamb, and a spice grammar rooted in Silk Road trade; dishes arrive in deep bowls and are meant to be shared rather than portioned into a strict sequence. The result feels hearty and unpretentious: bold, rustic flavors served in a relaxed, cozy setting where conversation sets the tempo more than kitchen choreography.
Best For
This is a place built for sharing — groups and families that like to pass plates and talk over food will find it especially rewarding. The meal’s communal structure makes Xi'an well suited to casual celebrations and convivial group dinners where pacing is determined by appetite and conversation. It’s not a tasting-menu destination; instead it suits diners who prefer an earnest, bowl-forward approach to Chinese regional cooking and who value lively table interaction over formal service rituals.
Ordering Tips
Plan to order for the table: choose a mix of noodles, a hearty lamb or salt-and-pepper dish, and a few signature plates to share. The description highlights hand-pulled noodles, lamb seasoned with cumin and chili, and other Shaanxi staples, and the venue’s signature items (Peking Duck Wraps, Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Pork Soup Dumplings, salt-and-pepper dishes) provide a useful starting point. Expect dishes to arrive communally in deep bowls; pace the meal by conversation and appetite rather than by a fixed sequence, and let the table pass plates to experience the cuisine as intended.

Where to look if Xi'an is not the right fit
If the night calls for Italian, start with Il Pastaio or the higher-spend Funke. If the priority is staying within Beverly Hills while comparing similar neighborhood options, check Loukà Beverly Hills, La Scala 🇮🇹, and Nua before deciding.
Restaurant context
How Xi'an compares in Beverly Hills
Xi'an is the easier, lower-friction choice in this Beverly Hills set. Funke is the splurge-oriented Italian option at $$$$, so choose it when the meal is the point of the night. Xi'an is more useful when the plan needs a convenient table and a later dinner window.
Il Pastaio is the clearer pick for Italian, while La Scala 🇮🇹 carries the same Beverly Hills address logic for diners comparing established local names. Xi'an is not the obvious choice for a category-specific craving; it is the practical choice when access, location, simplicity matter more.
For a broader cross-shop, Loukà Beverly Hills and Nua are worth checking before locking the plan. Pick Xi'an when the group wants the easiest path to dinner in Beverly Hills; pick the others when the venue choice needs to carry more of the occasion.
