What to Avoid (6)

Food 6

Beef fried noodles Net −1

“One of the dish I ordered is beef fried noodles, and the beef isn't fresh and overly cured, thus eliminating the taste altogether.”
Chicken fried rice Net −1

“I also ordered chicken fried rice, it has the taste but lacking in heat and seasoning.”
Galic prawns Net −1

“The food is average to bad, the galic prawns was soggy and soft, the hotpot for 60aed, came with 4 slices of beef, so thin, you can can use it as screen protectors.”
Mala xiang guo Net −1

“They would always insert a flyer to promote their premium best seller dish called Mala Xiang Guo that is priced at Dhs. 79. Today, I gave it a try. The first bite was unbelievably SALTY! I still tried to dig in expecting the taste to be better, but the more I tried, the more SALTY the dish gets! It is like putting a spoonful of salt inside your mouth! I requested the dish to be replaced but my request fell on deaf ears. I lost Dhs. 79 but you lost a loyal customer! Never will I buy food from this restaurant ever again! UPDATE: I received 100% of the amount I paid for from Careem. I stand firm though that the dish is extremely SALTY and not at all spicy.”
Siapao buns Net −1

“The basic Siapao buns they were a let down.”
Spring rolls Net −1

“The spring rolls were not good hot outside cold inside.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Order dumplings. For vegetable dumplings, consider 26 pieces rather than 14 because one reviewer found the smaller order insufficient.

Clarify duck. If ordering Beijing duck, confirm how it is prepared and served: one customer expected Peking duck but received fried duck.

The Bottom Line

Xian Tang Lou is a small Chinese restaurant in Port Saeed that works particularly well for delivery cravings and hearty, casual meals. Customers return for dumplings, wonton soup, fried noodles and Shabu Shabu; the latter was described as a generous basic portion served with rice. Vegetable and pan-fried dumplings are recurring favourites, although one reviewer recommends 26 pieces because 14 was not enough.

The food is not entirely consistent. Some diners describe home-style flavour, authentic cooking and enormous portions, while others report dry noodles, bland seasoning, poor-quality meat or a Mala Xiang Guo so salty it was inedible. Beijing duck also needs a little care: one customer expected Peking duck but received fried duck, and another found the roast dry rather than crisp.

Those mixed experiences make specific ordering and checking worthwhile. Expect a simple, somewhat old-fashioned setting rather than polished ambience. Indoor seating is very limited, with one review saying it fits only eight people, though an outdoor area is available in winter.

Delivery can be convenient but has taken almost three hours for one customer. Reviews also raise recent uncertainty about whether the restaurant is operating, so verify availability before visiting. Reported prices include Shabu Shabu at 49aed and jasmine tea at 10AED.
