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 fare, including noodles, soups & sandwiches.

Xi’an has a limited menu and no lunch specials, which keep overall prices lower. As a diner, you must love spice to some degree because if you request “no spice” then what’s the point? But don’t be alarmed because their “regular spice level” is not overwhelming.
The stir-fried Liang-Pi cold skin noodles ($9.45 plus tax) and spinach dumplings ($9.95) are worth trying. The beef muscle hand-ripped noodles ($14.95) could have been more tender.

Great service! They patiently answered my questions about new options on the menu. Portions are great and prices are super reasonable especially for NYC! My brother in law lives across the street so I always come here when I’m visiting. 5/5 stars!!! Wish they had this at home!!

I didn’t want to leave the review but it happened multiple times. I was born in Xi’an and the pork burger was one of my favorites my mom used to cook. I’m glad that there is one restaurant near my mom’s in NYC. Anyway, I ordered 5 pork burgers and all of them were filled with fat and minimal lean meat. All the burgers were also only Half filled. I actually mentioned to the people with courtesy not to put too much fat in but, but the girl told me that,” I’m sorry, it is too late. We already made most of them.” The burgers should be filled with most lean meat and fine touch of some fat to make it tasty. We joked the pork burgers are “poor man’s burgers.” However, If it sales the RMB as USD, I thought it will at least have enough meat inside. The quality is horrible.

I liked the vibe of this place. I got in and ordered on the screen. I got the spicy stir fry cumin lamb hand ripped noodles for around $15-16.You have the options of adjustung the spice level and choosing less oil, less vegetable etc so thats nice. When my food was ready, I was called to come collect it.
The food was nice. It felt like non Chinese american food in the sense that it was not sweet at all and had a more mature taste (almost bitter in a way because of the spice and cumin). I enjoyed it. Its nit obvious in the picture but the dish itself has a lot of oil so its good they give you the less oil option.

They no longer have my favorite item the lamb paomo but the cold skin noodles are good as usual. I showed the young guy the poster of the new tiger salad next to the register asking if I could get this and he gladly keyed it in. He came to help me from the back cuz there’s a line waiting for the kiosk.
So I got my order 91 and realized that they’ve given me a pork burger and the noodles. I brought my tray up to the front immediately and said “I think I had a salad not a burger,” and the middle-aged woman behind the counter didn’t seem to understand what I said and started to talk to someone else behind me at length. Then the guy who placed my order saw me, remembered what had happened, and remade me a salad, which was very nice and helpful. When he called me for the salad I offered to return the burger and he didn’t take it. Having worked in hospitality, this is the norm: you don’t take back food that’s been served. I thanked him and felt happy. The salad was delicious.
Now here’s the issue. When I was about to leave this girl behind the counter called me and said I hadn’t paid for my salad. It seems like they had started a new tab for the salad I later received. Then I explained the situation and offered to return the burger. The girl was looking at the middle-aged woman standing on the side to seek confirmation, repeating everything I said. The woman just asked me to return the burger and didn’t even apologize for her attitude or the mistake. I was treated like a thief and it really soured the whole experience. This whole thing could have been avoided without her meddling. I just returned the burger and left. Luckily I hadn’t eaten it (I didn’t order it in the first place.) Maybe I should have verified the price for the salad and the pork burger so I was not over charged for the wrong item.
I think there is lack of communication within the team and one team member’s overstepping/managing. Plus, do you really take back served food? That’s bad form. I’m writing this review so the guy who helped me doesn’t get into trouble, since the owner seems to read reviews.

Great to eat here in person. The space is clean and has a long communal table. Just the right amount of spice

The delivery service being an option but not when they spill your food because it wasn’t properly packed. Shame on Doordash for not giving full refund, only 10 dollars doesn’t even cover one soup and there were two. Not happy. Since it is the restaurant that packs and packages the food items is it the responsibility of the restaurant to properly pack items so they don’t spill specially soups, are you kidding me that you can’t pack a 20 dollar soup properly so it doesn’t spill.

Food and staff are great, my problem is that the there is little to no seating. I know it is a small space, but the lack of seating, tiny stools that made it difficult for people to hang up their coats, and large amount of people standing to wait completely ruins going to xian. We all know that the noodles are best when FRESH, which is why I opt to dine in. But it is not possible to dine in under these conditions.

I’ve eaten here for many years but the last 3 times the noodles aren’t good. Some days the noodles are over cooked completely and sometimes it’s a mix of over cooked and firm noodles. The sauce is overly salty esp noodle with beef. Other xi’an locations are much better. Unfortunately I’ve stopped eating here.

Great experience here! The thick noodles are super yummy. The pulled pork is so tender and has great flavor. Dumplings were good too. The service was fast! Only waited 5mins for the food. Definitely recommend this place.
