Northern Chinese Cuisine | Jiu Thai Asian Cafe

Since 2012, Jiu Thai Asian Cafe has been bringing the bold, rustic flavors of Northwest China’s Shanxi Province to Columbus. Our specialty is handmade noodles—crafted fresh daily in our kitchen, where you can hear the rhythmic slap of dough being stretched and pulled by hand. Inspired by a blend of Asian culinary traditions, we proudly serve the iconic flavors of Xi’an alongside a variety of popular Asian favorites. From fragrant bubble teas and charcoal-grilled skewers to spicy dumplings and indulgent desserts, every dish is prepared with authenticity and care.

Are you ready for noodles with real character? Jiu Thai's biang biang noodles are pulled and torn by hand to order, giving them that signature wide, wavy chew no machine can match. Doused in fragrant hot oil with garlic, chili, and tender beef, or bathed in a slow-simmered golden beef broth, these Shanxi-style noodles carry layers of flavor in every strand. Add our Xi'an steamed cold noodles—tangy, spicy, and refreshingly cool—and you have a lineup that turns first-time visitors into weekly regulars. One slurp, and you'll understand the wait.
