Still the most famous of the Jia Brothers' restaurants, you'll know you're there when you see the monstrous blue arch over the entrance and a wall festooned with photographs of Xi'an notables -- TV hosts, writers, and musicians. The specialty dish isguantang baozi,with a choice of beef, lamb, or "three flavors" -- lamb, mushroom, and prawn. The dumplings have piping-hot soup inside, so let them cool before testing your chopstick skills. This dish is best washed down withba bao tian xifan,a sweet rice porridge filled with peanuts, sultanas, hawthorn, and medlar berries.
