Shaanxi Gourmet: Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Natick, MA

They offer traditional Shannxi dishes, and they tasted good. Good service with reasonable price. I’d recommend it.

Take out only sure to pandemic do we choose good that wouldn't lose their texture. Everything was very well prepared and delicious. The dumplings had a tender thick dough, boiled lettuce with homemade sauce was a hit with kids. The hand pulled noodles were fantastic and we all enjoyed the west lake minced beef tofu soup.

Shaanxi Gourmet has delicious authentic Chinese food without having to drive into the city. The restaurant itself is very clean and casual and the staff are very friendly. They make everything in-house. I started with a lychee iced tea, delicious! My first plate was soybean paste homemade noodles. This was this noodles in a mouthwatering soybean meat sauce. The flavors were amazing! This dish also had fresh sliced cucumbers that tasted really good mixed into the dish. My next dish was pork intestine in a brown sauce. Pork Intestine, in general, is like eating extremely tender pork. It is delicious! This also had my favorite wood ear mushrooms, fermented black beans. This dish was a showstopper! I also tried their crispy orange sesame chicken. This was crispy, with nice flavoring without a heavy sauce. Definitely recommend! The egg rolls were a mix of cabbage, celery, and meat. They had a nice flavor. The duck sauce was traditional with a little spice added, possibly cinnamon. For dessert I had warm tapioca. It was also delicious! The restaurant quickly filled up. It seemed the majority of the guests were speaking Chinese! I take that as a good sign. Shanxi is part of Northern China. I think they do an amazing job honoring their food. This is a must try!

Pretty good food. Much better than I expected in terms of quality. Service is decent. The only thing is the cost. The lamb skewers are quite pricey compared to what I can get elsewhere. Other places like gene’s flatbread gives you a small discount if you buy a large batch. Overall though, very satisfied with the food. Will need to try the noodle dishes next time.

I’ve been here twice and will definitely keep coming. I really liked the cold skin noodles as an appetizer and highly recommend it. Lamb skewers were also really good but a little expensive for what you get. I liked the Sizzling Cumin Lamb as it had a lot of flavor. It had a little spice but not too much (I would have preferred it even spicier). I typically like to get spicy dishes but decided to also get the Eggplant in Brown Sauce. Lots of tender eggplant and the brown sauce is slightly sweet which goes nicely with a spicy dish. It also has bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, and tomatoes in it for a nice variety of vegetables. If you need something not very spicy, the Sizzling Beef Fillet with Black Pepper would be good. One dish I did not like was the Spicy Chicken with Crispy Rice. The fried chicken was decent but quite salty. The rice it came with was cubes of super crunchy rice that was difficult to eat with the chicken. The combination of the dry rice with fried chicken made it very dry of a dish.

For many years since before the pandemic, we have been going back to the restaurant whenever we crave spicy food, and the spicy fish fillet is a dish we order every time. Quality has been consistently good. Yum!

I saved this restaurant back in 2019 when I first passed by. This week, I walked by again—after six years and a whole pandemic. It felt surreal, like stepping into another time. The food is still as authentic and delicious as I remembered. Truly worth the bookmark!

I ordered two dishes and both had mild flavors that weren’t overpowering, making them enjoyable for anyone. I tried the Mapo Tofu and the thick noodles served with bok choy in a slightly spicy and tangy sauce. The noodles seemed to be handmade and had a great chewy texture. Even though I’m sensitive to strong spices and usually can’t handle heavily seasoned Chinese food, everything here suited me really well. I would recommend this place to anyone who prefers clean and well-balanced flavors.
