I stopped by for the first time to pickup an online order for rice rolls at Cozy Rice, but then quickly got drawn into Xi’an Express’s menu (specifically, one of my favorite comfort meals - tomato and egg over hand-shaven noodles). Both meals were very satisfying, and the portion size was quite generous. The people running the stalls seem to be a one-man/woman show - please support them! It was relatively quiet when I visited at 6:00pm on a Wednesday, but hoping the lunchtime rush is enough to keep the hall open! - Jasmine Louie
