"an amazing and pure-authentic Xi'An restaurant in the Muslim district. The Yang Rou Pou Mo(er) is the signature dish-mutton and rice noodle soup with dumplings you make yourself from tearing bread into tiny pieces. A must-visit on any traveler's "bucket list." I consider my evening at this restaurant to be the finest meal in my life."
