PICKERINGTON, OH - A new restaurant has come to town.

Are you in the mood for Chinese cuisine? If you answered yes, you might want to check out Xi Xia Chinese Cuisine, which recently opened a new restaurant in Pickerington at 1722 Hill Rd N. According to the restaurant's social media account, the Pickerington location opened for business last month.

The Pickerington restaurant is Xi Xia's second; Xi Xia opened its first location in Columbus at 1140 Kenny Centre Mall. According to the restaurant's website, Xi Xia offers noodles that are made by hand and special bone broth that requires a gentle simmering process that takes 10 hours.

The restaurant's menu includes noodle soups like lamb noodle soup, beef noodle soup, spicy beef stew with noodles, and bone broth with vermicelli as well as noodle dishes like dan dan noodles, beef fried noodles, Singapore-style fried rice noodles, and more. Aside from noodles, Xi Xia offers rice bowls like curry chicken over rice, chicken with broccoli over rice, General Tso's chicken over rice, curry beef over rice, spicy pork ribs over rice, stewed pork over rice, and more.

Here is what a local guide had to say about the new addition to Pickerington in a Google review:

What an incredible addition to our community! We stopped by to try Xi Xia, as we were excited to have a new addition to the food offerings in Pickerington. We were greeted warmly and given such thoughtful service throughout. Daniel (one of the owners, I believe) provided such a friendly and engaging experience. He talked to us about our preferences and gave wonderful suggestions for our meal.

We had a spicy beef noodle soup, garlic noodles with incredibly tender thinly-sliced beef, and crab soup dumplings. Each bite was packed with such depth of flavor, clearly house-made recipes. The hand cut noodles were absolutely next-level. The perfect texture and flavor.

We can’t wait to return many more times to work through all of the interesting menu items. It will be our top takeout spot for sure, but we really enjoyed eating in as well - we are so glad that they brought this gem to our community!

If you want to check out the new restaurant, you can find it at 1722 Hill Rd N, Pickerington, OH 43147.

The new restaurant is open 6 days a week, Thursday to Tuesday from 12 PM to 9:30 PM. It's closed on Wednesdays.
