The last couple of visits have been disappointing on reflection with a definite decline in the standard of service. Last night was by far my worst experience at Xian's. They completely forgot about my order, so in a party of six I had no main course. When it did eventually arrive after several nudges, it was very poor quality so... More

The food and service is A* and scores top points. The staff are very good also . Very clean and comfortable to sit and eat. Expect to pay that bit extra but it's worth it!

I went to this restaurant on recommendation with my mother-in-law who is in a wheelchair. I had pre-booked giving notice of a wheelchair user. They did inform me that there are no disabled toilets. On arrival it did seem that no arrangement had been made for a wheelchair user, but fortunately the table nearest the door was available and given... More

Some friends recommended this restaurant and they booked a table for 8 of us. Was busy in there, but I'd be worried if it wasn't. Got seated straight away and service spot on from the start. We left the choice of food to the Manager/owner who served us, some of our party were vegetarian, one couldn't eat chillies - a... More

The food was fine but that's as far as the compliments go. We went for my birthday. We were put at the back of the restaurant, right in the middle so had staff rushing down either side of us.

We used to eat here regularly, but hadn’t been for several years. Xian is still incredibly popular, serving good food, with a great buzzy atmosphere, and efficient service from staff who know how to ‘work the room’ – many of the customers seemed to be regarded as old friends and we were offered free liqueurs at the end of the...

Visited to celebrate my birthday. Had 3 lovely tasty courses, best Chinese food I have had in a while. Cosy atmosphere and attentive staff. Noticed celebrity Chef at next table when leaving. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Although the service was a little off putting to begin, I'm sure they didnot intentionally hassle us to order so when we did in our own time all settled down. We chose quite well from a varied and interesting menu and were well pleased with the result. The wine list shows that someone has sat down and selecteded a choice... More

I have visited this Peking/Szechaun restuarant many times during the last 20 years and try and make sure I go when in the UK. We went on a Tuesday night, 19th March expecting it to quiet, the place was full, Victor was turning people away. The food as always exceeded our expectations, the service was spot on with some nice... More
