Xi'an Famous Foods

Our second Manhattan location opened May 21, 2011, to replace a smaller Chinatown outpost a few blocks away under the Manhattan Bridge. As our largest location in Manhattan, with 35 stools at communal tables and counters, we serve all Xi'an Famous Foods specialties, including our lamb dumplings (featured in New York Magazine’s Best of New York 2013 issue). This location is also great for jury duty lunch in New York! 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, with signature hand-ripped noodles, secret spice mixes, and Xi’an “burgers” with housemade flatbread. Since then, we’ve expanded to three locations in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. As a family-owned business, we hope to reintroduce the world to the unique cuisine of our hometown: liangpi “cold skin” noodles, lamb pao mo soup, and wide hand-pulled “biang biang” noodles, all in its most authentic form.
