Come here to snack on a wide variety of Chinese food, from vegetarian Chinese-style pancakes to lamb skewers. This is the perfect appetizer before going to eat elsewhere, or if you're not quite hungry yet, at least go to check out the atmosphere! The night markets run on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 5-10pm.

This restaurant serves regional specialities from Xi'an, a city in central China. Come here to try liang pi (涼皮, a cold soft noodle dish), and definitely don't leave without trying the pao mo (泡饃, flat bread and meat in a clear soup).

This is one of the best places to eat offal hot pot. If that's too adventurous (and I fully get it!), check out all the other restaurants and the cool neon decorations on the second floor of this building.
