" If you're looking for authentic Xi'an cuisine, look no further! The blend of spices and flavors is unmatched. I loved the biangbiang noodles they serve, topped with tender beef. Plus, the staff provides exceptional service. Large portions make it worth every penny. I highly encourage anyone in Vancouver to give this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by the quality of the food! The lemongrass and ginger pot roast was incredibly flavorful, and the dumplings were the best I’ve ever had. The staff helps you with the menu and even offered suggestions based on my dietary preferences. The only downside was the busy kitchen noise, but the delicious food made that easy to overlook. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family enjoyed a delightful dinner at Lao Cai. The spiced pork dumplings were a hit, and I’m still dreaming about the sweet and sour ribs! The service was friendly, though I felt they could use more hands during busy times. Still, a fantastic experience overall, and I highly recommend trying their homemade noodle dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoy the dumplings here! The rich flavors and textures are a delight to the taste buds. The only complaint would be the wait time during peak hours. However, the staff is friendly and they often offer free sides while you wait, which is always a lovely gesture. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful spot that offers authentic Northern Chinese cuisine! The dumplings are outstanding, packed with flavor and cooked just right. The ambiance is cozy, which makes for a lovely dining experience. We had a minor issue with service speed, but it was minor in the grand scheme of things. I would return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Lao Cai, and it was wonderful! The hot oil noodles had an authentic taste I haven't experienced in Vancouver before. The dumplings were packed full of filling and cooked to perfection. The only downside was the noise level; it was quite lively during our visit. I would recommend this place for authentic Xi'an cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Lao Cai was a delightful experience! The moment we walked in, the aroma of spices reassured us we were about to enjoy an authentic meal. We ordered several dishes and shared them among the table. The dumplings were the highlight—perfectly steamed and juicy. The staff was attentive and made great recommendations. I can't wait to introduce my friends to this place! " (*Curated Review*)
