Xi'an Famous Foods

I got the traditional Spicy cumin lamb noodles. The dish had a good amount of their chili oil sauce on it, so be prepared for the spice level (I got the normal/regular amount which felt perfect). Don’t forget to order a water at the kiosk because they don’t have free water/restaurant cups to drink with.

We ordered the spicy and sour lamb dumplings, stewed pork hand ripped noodles, spicy cumin lamb hand ripped noodles. The noodles are hand pulled by the chef and was very springy. The pork were stewed and very tender, so the noodles dishes were absolutely stunning. The spicy noodles can be a bit spicy (like mala) so be prepared if you order it. The dumplings were not the most exciting though. The fillings were generous, but it was outshined by the noodles Card machine was down, so we had some struggle with cash unfortunately

Recently visited - 100% satisfaction, perfect place for a quick authentic tasty meal from the Western Chinese cuisine. The hand-ripped noodles were delicious (ordered one vegetarian option, one with pork), the place was clean, prices totally fine, hawberry ice tea special… Certainly recommend and worth visiting / tasting.

I recently visited Xi'an Famous Foods and I got to say it was a great spot for a quick meal. The highlight of the meal was the dumpling in a spicy hot oil - it was amazing! The Chinese hamburger was also good, but when I dipped it into the hot oil it was even better. The restaurant was clean and the iced tea was also very refreshing. The ordering process is done through a kiosk which was convenient. Highly recommend!

I’ve tried about 4 items in their menu (including their tasty Chinese burger) & N9 Zha Jiang noodle is my fave 😍! Their chilli oil is super good 👍 (flavourful & not numbing). You can choose your spicy level too, and they recommend at least Mild as their chilli oil is super good! I always order Spicy & it’s perfect for me. One of the best cheap eats in NYC with tax included & no tipping (as it’s a self-serve place).

The hand pulled noodles are their signature dish and super delicious. I would recommend to get these if you go there. You can get dumplings for a better price at many other places in chinatown, but their hand pulled noodles are special. Spiciness levels are already "accustomed to westerners", so don't be afraid. Prices are a bit high considering that you dine and sit on metal tables and stools and food is served in plastic bowls on trays.

I can't get each of the specific Chinese cuisines in my hometown. This causes me distress as in 2019, while in Australia, I had some biang biang noodles and haven't been able to find anything similar since. Well if you're going to find anything anywhere, it's going to be in NYC. So here we are making a trip to XFF to have a plate to satisfy a four year crave. They were delicious & highly recommended.
