This place is packed with locals enjoying pita bread soaked in lamb soup, truly a Shaanxi authenticity stamp.

This humble eatery from Dongguan South Street has made it big - now operating near the Bell Tower with such booming business during mealtimes that finding a seat is nearly impossible. Listening to the authentic Shaanxi dialect in the shop, I realized: when in Xi'an, follow the locals for genuine Shaanxi cuisine. ✅Pita Bread Soaked in Lamb Soup: Hand-torn bread absorbs the rich broth, becoming fragrant and tender. Topped with two large pieces of melt-in-your-mouth beef that never gets stuck in teeth - this bowl of flavorful goodness embodies the soul of Shaanxi. ✅Stir-Fried Version: A delightfully sour and spicy appetizer particularly popular among young women. Their tender beef in this dish is unmatched elsewhere. Beyond their signature dishes, they offer other delights like freshly mixed cold skin noodles with sesame sauce and piping-hot beef-stuffed buns - an absolutely satisfying meal here. Don't miss their homemade plum juice and mung bean ice - good enough to warrant a standalone drink shop. 🏠 Lao Liu's Yongshengzhai (Bell Tower Branch) 📍 88 North Street
