    Absolutely worth your time!

    I wish more restaurants would try Lili's method with their own styles of food. They have a small menu and they do all of them well. The owners are personable. The food comes fresh. Take out and in-house work efficiently (and in-house would be even moreso if people cleaned up after themselves consistently!).

    The Biang Biang hand-pulled noodles and the Rou Ja Mo pork bun are favorites of mine. I can't speak to authenticity not being from Xi'an, nor having been there, but this place makes me want to go on a food tour there!

    THIS PLACE IS SOOOOOOO GOOD.

    I don't even know what I ordered b/c 1. never ordered it before and 2. was ravenous but not in a way that would sacrifice the quality.

    Dishes are not greasy, super flavorful, and generous in portion size. Get the cold noodles and noodle soup. I love that their menu is simple, to the point, no frills, packed with flavor. Not to mention, lovely hospitable service. Amherst gem, for sure.

    This place is sooo good. The noodles are handmade and it tastes like it. Beautiful texture and edges to the noodles just perfect. I wish we had a place like this in DC--closest I can think of is panda gourmet in the Days Inn, but this place has better hand-made noodles --Lili's are hand-cut noodles/手扯面

    Dumplings were also so good. Everything just tastes natural and real--amount of oil and sauce was good

    Amherst surprisingly has so many Chinese places that looked like they were really authentic. One place had 麻辣香锅 the mala dry pot and you just don't find that that often.

    If you are ever in this area I would def recommend going here for noodles. I love biang biang noodles and the cold skin noodles so much.

    Absolutely the very best, you can't beat the in house fesh made Biang Biang noodles. Delicately spiced and oh those soft incredible delightfully soft extra wide light as a feather noodles, that just simply melt in your mouth. If you are a noodle person drop what your doing; hike on over here for some of the very best hand pulled noodles in the area. The pork leek dumplings were also very good, these folks know how to make pasta and stuff a very flavorful dumpling. The staff is very friendly, accommodating with food arriving from the kitchen in short order, plus you're gonna really like the price point

    Omg gosh so good! Handmade noodles being made on the spot! Delicious flavors! Staff super kind. One of the women working came by the tables asking all the customers if everything was ok. Small inside but clean. They also do take out. I highly recommend this gem in downtown Amherst.
