Xian Famous Foods 西安名吃

I’ve been to two other Manhattan locations for consistently delicious spicy lamb cumin hand-pulled noodles and dumplings. This Chinatown location is no different - also, good ac, choice of cash, credit card or debit, lots of seating and good value for the money. People kept coming in right up to 8:30 closing.

Delicious chewy thick hand pulled noodles! Got the spicy cumin lamb and that did not disappoint. They keep their AC blasting in the restaurant and makes it a perfect spot to eat these spicy noodles (and a break from the summer heat too). You can choose the level of spice and I find the regular is a great if you can handle spice regularly. The space is also kept clean and there is no waitstaff so clean as you go.

My daughter was craving for food from Xian after hearing about hand ripped noodles. We ordered the spicy lamb noodles and spicy and sour pork noodles. She loved the flavor of lamb and spiced noodles but the thickness of noodles was not what she expected. It was cooked and well soaked in the lamb sauce. Dumplings was great.

This was my first time tasting Chinese Western food and I really like it. I got: 1. Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger. The taste of the lamb was good but overall the burger (pita) its ok, nothing extraordinary. 2. Spicy Pork Noodles: The pork taste was perfect and the sauce too. Really liked this dish. Overall I recommend this place to experience some spicy western Chinese cuisine and I definitely want to taste more western cuisine. The food was delivered pretty fast and even though it was almost full house we managed to get seated and ate comfortably.

Nice and simple place. Spacious and welcoming. You can dine it, there is plenty of seats. I've ordered the spicy and sour lamb dumplings soup. Easy to order, average waiting time. The food was ok, nothing special, a bit too sour in my opinion but the lamb was good. The soup wasn't like a soup but more like a thick sauce so I couldn't really enjoy it too much and unfortunately had to throw the rest of the soup away. I should probably get their hand pulled noodles on my next visit! Will keep you posted of course, like always.

Xi'an is Chinese restaurant known for the spicy knife cut noodles. I really like the dry cumin lamb flavor as it is the most traditional for this regional cuisine in my opinion. Even though they warned you of the "spiciness", I have to say it's not spicy at all. I even got the extra spicy level. They only have a ordering kiosk and you pick up at the window, so there's 0 customer service. Relatively affordable for a quick casual bite. Can get crowded at times to be able to find a seat. Expect to pay around $15 per person.

One of the best place to eat Chinese food in NewYork. I love the food. We tried lamb handmade noodles, Lamb dumplings and pork sandwich. We were early when they opened so it wasn’t busy. One of their ordering machines wasn’t working. So had to wait to order. Ambience- 4/5 Taste-5/5 Service- 4/5 Location-5/5

I’m on a mission to find the best dumplings in NYC. This place came at a recommendation. I ordered the pork dumplings and the stewed pork burger (F8, B1). The dumplings themselves were delicious, but what made them excellent was the sauce! I got the standard spice level and it was not that spicy (and I’m pretty sensitive to spice levels). The “burger” of you can calls it that haha, lost a lot of the flavor in the juices because the bun soaked up most of the flavor leaving the pork a little dull. I found dipping it in the my dumpling sauce to be much better. Overall: 4/5 for the dumplings.
