Xi'an Famous Food

Summary

I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times in various neighborhoods, but I haven’t documented it till now.

I usually get the spicy tingly beef. It’s pretty good, but to be honest I do like Very Fresh Noodles in the Chelsea Market more. However this place was next to me, so the convenience is much appreciated.

The spicy and sour spinach dumplings are also really good too. I love the vinegary taste wih everything.

All in all for hand pulled noodles, this place is very consistently good.

Final Verdict

Yelp Jabs

finally did some reading on the Xi’an website and it turns out my longtime faves aren’t vegetarian anymore

Beef 1 Veggies 0. It sucks for vegetarians, but most hearty flavors come from meats.

Absolutely terrible managing of their long awaited grand opening. You’d think after countless franchises around Manhattan and months of anticipation for their LIC location, the roll out of their store would be better organized.

Sad they lost a customer before even trying their food.

Honestly, I cannot think of many places opening flawlessly on the first day. I just went here today after it’s been opened more than a month, and it was fine for me. Let this be a lesson to people that think being first to a restaurant’s grand opening means something. You’re the guinea pig while they figure things out.

Cheap, greasy and way too salty Asian noodles . I tried 3 dishes

Sounds like the tastebuds here are incompatible with these Asian Chinese noodles.
