REVIEWS
“Happily confounding my initial expectations, Xi Xia Western Chinese Cuisine doesn’t specialize in westernized Chinese food. Instead, it focuses on the food of western China, which has the largest percentage of Muslims in the country, many of whom are Uighurs.”
— The Columbus Dispatch
“Here’s a hot take: Columbus has great Chinese food, if you know where to look. Sure, we may not be Flushing, New York, but the diversity of our Chinese food options is growing all the time—from the Sichuan fare at Hong Kong House to the dim sum at Ty Ginger Asian Bistro to Dongbei-style dishes at NE Chinese Restaurant. Add Xi Xia in Kenny Centre Mall to that promising list.”
— Columbus Monthly
“Perhaps the most interesting specialties on Xi Xia’s menu are its entrées with lamb, which Sha says is the meat of choice for the people of Ningxia region and, in particular, its decent-sized Muslim population, the Hui people.”
