Xi’an Famous Foods began as a 200 square foot basement stall in the Golden Shopping Mall in Flushing, N.Y. The original location, established in late 2005, was the first restaurant to bring the little-known cuisine of Xi’an to the United States. Since then, it’s become a beloved local fast-casual chain, with locations spread across New York City, as well as locations in Boston, Philadelphia, Virginia, etc. As a family-owned business, Xi’an Famous Foods looks to reintroduce the world to the unique western Chinese cuisine of the founder’s hometown through some classic dishes: liang pi “cold-skin noodles stewed pork burgers, wide hand-pulled “biang biang” noodles, and more, all in their most authentic forms based on family recipes.
Local counter-serve chain offering Xi’an-style Chinese food, including noodles, soups, and sandwiches.

Fast casual eating. Order at register at cash and they’ll call your number when its ready. Self clean up after!
I got the hand pulled pork noodles with spice one above regular and I eat a lot of spicy food but it had a nice kick yo it. Texture of noodles were delicious and pork was seasoned great. Recommend for budget friendly eating spot!

I got the spicy cumin lamb noodles. Lamb and noodles was very tender and made fresh and hot. The noodles were about what I expected for this type of noodles. It’s different. Spicy level is a pretty good amount so hopefully you like spicy. I think it was enjoyable. Just wish it was had more flavor than just cumin and spicy

Wow this was interesting! Came here because of the amazing pictures on Google. We both got the pulled noodles and shared soup dumplings. A little bit pricey for Chinatown ($22 for a noodle dish and dumplings) but it came quick and portions were massive. Tables were really tall so tough to eat for short people. Dumplings were good but not very soupy. Noodles were delicious with a great texture. Mine wasn’t spicy enough but my friends definitely was. Very messy so def don’t wear a white shirt, lol! I really liked this but definitely was an intense meal.

Came here to try this place for the first time. There’s a lot of seating and tables, there are even kiosks where you can order via card only. I believe this place is cash only if ordered at the register. I ordered some kind of pork noodle soup dish with no spice but the taste wasn’t to my liking. The noodles were good and chewy, the cabbage was pickled and sour (which I liked), but the pork was super salty. Maybe this dish is supposed to taste better with spice but I can’t handle spice so ordered non spicy. The chrysanthemum tea was very good though and wasn’t too sweet. This place doesn’t require tip and prices are pretty reasonable. If the pork tasted better, I feel like I would’ve enjoyed it more.

The restaurant is very clean and well-kept. Service was friendly, and the food came out really fast – great if you’re short on time. Most importantly, the taste was excellent: fresh, authentic, and flavorful. The dumplings and noodles had just the right amount of spice and were full of flavor.
A perfect spot for a quick and delicious stop in Chinatown – I’ll definitely come back!

I have walked in here many times … looked at the menu… but was always too full to try it. But I always looked at the menu even before visiting NY and added to all my lists so I remembered to make it my first stop (after Mamoun’s) upon arriving in NY.
During this visit to NY, we came here TWICE (Yea, it was that good!!!) and ordered the following:
[N1] Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles – insanely delicious, we ordered in the spiciest option, but it really wasn’t too spicy but still perfect. We ended up going back the next day to order this again. Definitely and highly recommend.
[N2] Spicy & Tingly Beef Muscle Hand-Ripped Noodles – we ordered in the spiciest option; the proportion of protein to noodles was a little off.
[F4] Spicy & Sour Lamb Dumplings (7) – this was definitely a different taste, the lamb was a little tough compared to the lamb with the noodles. It did share the same “tingly” taste as the Beef muscle hand-pulled noodles.
They have self-service kiosks available, which is super helpful if it gets crowded. Instead of a basic menu, they have digital images of the dish, the name and the price. I remember once upon a time, they had printed pictures…but either way it is all helpful to see what we are getting. The prices definitely increased and average about $14/dish. They accept both cash and card, even google pay (maybe also apple pay). There is plenty of seating available, unless it gets very crowded.
At first I wasn’t thrilled about the disposable plates, but in the end, it’s much easier since people are tossing their own garbage and leaving trays at the entrance. There is a bathroom available, the code is provided at the counter.
Would I return? Definitely without a doubt!!

My kid found this place on Google maps. We had spicy cumin lamb noodle, the soup version of that and spicy and sour spinach dumplings.
All delicious!
Place was busy and there was a wait, seats are also a hot commodity (pun intended).
There is a single bathroom, there was no toilet paper, so I encourage you to check first; I always do 🙂 and just grabbed some napkins.
My 5 stars are for the food taste and quality.
Atmosphere gets a lower rating because of the lack of TP.

nice and clean place for a quick eat. You get your order and then sit anywhere you want. It’s a pretty chill atmosphere. However, the food is meh. We got extra spicy for all our items but they were not spicy nor were they particularly tasty. It’s ok.

Decent Chinese food. The menu was a little limited, not like a traditional family style Chinese restaurant, but there was no line when we went and the food came out quickly. The food was pretty good, flavorful and spicy, but nothing too special.
