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.
Locals line up for handmade noodles and other Chinese classics at this small diner with a takeout option.

Nah, but seriously, the food was so good! The taste of the pork ripped noodles was amazing! The lamb dumplings were incredible! I ended up dipping the noodles into the dumpling sauce at the end! Was my mouth on fire?…yes. we’re my lips also on fire?….also yes! But in a good way! Oh, I got the hibiscus tea as well which was a bit to sweet for me but it was still a nice addition! My total was $26 which in my humble opinion was well worth it.
I can’t wait to go again!!!! Thank you to the chefs back there making everything! Yall rock!
I placed my order via one of their kiosks and waited about 15 mins for the food to be made. The kitchen is open, so you can see them all working back there, and they’re hustling! But the place is just that busy!!
The food I tried was really good! The flavors were incredible!! The cucumber was probably the best I’ve had, mostly because of the incredible flavors of the chili oil, but the very fresh cucumber they smashed was excellent too. I tried the spicy & tingly beef muscle w/hand-ripped noodles and it was really tasty! The noodles were pretty good, but they were very long and could be tough to eat, without dipping your head in for each bite. The only issue I had was the amount of fat/connective tissue was thick and there wasn’t much beef to eat – so I ended up only eating a little of the actual beef. But I loved the sauce and noodles! If I go back, which I will, I’ll get the lamb done in a similar way.
I felt the prices were decent for the amount of food and the great flavors. Definitely will return!
Prices are reasonable for NYC, and the self-order kiosk makes things quick and convenient. It does get crowded, though, and seating can be hard to find during peak hours. Still, if you’re into authentic, spicy Chinese flavors — this spot is worth checking out!
