Xi'an Famous Foods 西安名吃 | Chinatown

"Xi’an Noodles has been slinging some of the city’s best Chinese food since it opened on the Ave in 2016, with success bringing more recent expansions to downtown’s Westlake Center and Bellevue. Bowls of wide, hand-pulled biang-biang noodles are made from scratch every day. They’re delightfully springy, and the simplicity of hot chile oil showcases their texture best, though meat toppings like spicy cumin lamb are also available." - Jay Friedman

"Xi’An Famous Foods has quickly become a mini empire, and there’s a location right here on Bayard Street. The spicy cumin lamb noodles and “burger” sandwiches are about as good a spicy lunch as you can find." - hillary reinsberg

"Xi’an Famous Foods, Chinatown by My Orange Box. N1!!! We do like spicy food, but these hand pulled noodles are something else. Amazingly good. Together with a cold cucumber salad it makes for a great meal."

"New York City’s beloved Xi’an Famous Foods has always been known for its fiery, spicy dishes, like its hand-pulled noodles drenched with hot chile oil. Inspired by the cuisine of China’s Xi’an and Shaanxi regions, the chile oil is fragrant but not scarily spicy. It’s pretty simple, just a blend of chile peppers and oil, but that’s what makes this chile crisp good; it lets the flavors of chile peppers speak for themselves. Eat with: hand-pulled noodles, dumplings, or any noodle soup." - James Park

"A popular venue offering Shaanxi regional cuisine." - Tony Lin
