West Street Xi'an
West Street Xi'an does Chinese food from Xi'an and the wider Shaanxi region, up on the El Camp de l'Arpa del Clot side of Horta-Guinardó. It's a regional kitchen rather than a generic Chinese menu, with lunch and dinner, beer, and vegetarian options on the table. Good for anyone who wants to eat Shaanxi cooking off the tourist track, whether you sit in, take out, or get it delivered.
Background
About West Street Xi'an
The Story
West Street Xi'an is a Chinese restaurant on the El Camp de l'Arpa del Clot side of the Guinardó border, in Barcelona's Horta-Guinardó district. It leans into one region rather than a catch-all menu, serving food from Xi'an and the surrounding Shaanxi province.
The Cuisine
Shaanxi cooking is its own corner of Chinese food, built around wheat as much as rice — think hand-pulled and hand-cut noodles, filled flatbreads, and big, warming, spice-forward dishes. Xi'an sits at the old end of the Silk Road, so cumin and chilli turn up more than you'd expect from other Chinese regions. The menu here runs from lunch through dinner, with vegetarian options on it.
The Team
The kitchen stays focused on Xi'an and Shaanxi regional cooking rather than spreading across every Chinese style. Dishes are made to order across both the lunch and dinner services.
