Stephen PerleFebruary 5, 2017I've been to Xi'an and simply going to this restaurant takes me back there. This time: lamb "burger" loved it nice spice & concubine's chicken. The chicken was perfectly juicy. Be careful of bones!
Christina ChinDecember 14, 2015I'm not a huge spicy fan or lamb fan but after so many reviews I had to try. dish really spicy even when you ask for least spicy as possible! Spicy and lamb lovers will like this dish.
Winson WongFebruary 3, 2015Great hand made noodles! Chewy and tender. Lots of lamb options, can get different levels of spice. The soft tofu is amazing though, smooth as silk!
What's Good HereMay 19, 2015First time here? Order the Pork “Zha Jiang” Noodles - wide hand-ripped biangbiang noodles mixed w/ a savory & slightly-sweet ground pork meat sauce, tossed w/ cucumbers, scallions, celery & chives.
John ADecember 30, 2015Yum! Sizzle! Awesome eats from NW China known for its spicy food and numbing oils. 6+ vegetarian dishes, try the hot spicy oil noodles made with delicious thick and wide noodles, eats like a meal.- Spicy cumin lamb noodles are excellent, or try the cold skin noodles if you want something different. Fair warning: Spicy is actually spicy, go for mild if you need "wimpy white people spicy".
Marie La RueJune 14, 2019Mini local chain, now a NY classic renowned for delicious noodles. Great comfort food.
this location of xi'an sets a new bar for what the NYC chain will look like, I suspect. ample seating, wide open kitchen, feels like McDonald's but with flavor and integrity,
- SaritAugust 20, 2016Better to go on off hours and avoid the crazy lines. Can't choose wrong with anything but I can't go without ordering lamb cumin noodles (and hope someone else orders something new)
Yvette BustamanteMarch 5, 2015You must try the stewed pork noodles (N4) Make it spicy and its bursting with flavor! My new favorite lunch spot.
Daniel McDonoughJune 23, 2016The spicy lamb cumin noodles are delicious. Even the lowest level of spice is pretty spicy so be conservative. They don't take Amex.
Cindy lauJanuary 21, 2015Get the spicy cumin lamb noodles and Chang-An tofu soup. Credit cards accepted. Upstairs seating.
Gustavo Gadotti DuweFebruary 23, 2016Excellent chinese food in town. Fresh, clean and delicious. If you don't want something spicy, N4 should be your choice!
Shanna ScottJanuary 8, 2017Great, spicy food in which you choose how spicy you want it! Fast service, so it's a great place for lunch.
Charles GuerreroSeptember 6, 2015This location wasn't so crowded right at noon. The lamb burger is so amazing, as are all the noodle dishes.
Barry HottApril 11, 2016Pork zha jiang is the way to go. Really tasty, not too spicy (unless you ask for it hot)- What's Good HereMay 19, 2015Take lots of napkins. Bring a metal fork if you can. The hand-ripped noodles can leave quite a mess on your shirt. They are elastic. Combined with the cheap plastic fork, you'll end up with oil on you
Zayed KhanOctober 13, 2015Don't sleep on the terrific oxtail noodle soup. They get the meat really tender, and it is perfectly spicy.
Serious EatsFebruary 10, 2015The midtown flagship of the Xi'an Famous Foods empire in the shadow of the Empire State Building.
It's always good for a quick meal! If you can't eat as much, share one or two dishes with a friend!
Allison LiMarch 14, 2015Even mild spicy can be very spicy for sensitive palates. Menu is great! You can't go wrong.
Andrew CAugust 30, 2015The noodles are simply fantastic. If it's your first time, try the Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodles.- DefneMarch 9, 2015The noodles here are perfect and it's very sad that I can't recreate the same texture with what I make at home.
Isa RaventósAugust 20, 2018Loved the spicy and sour lamb dumplings. Portions are big and adequately priced
Greg S.January 31, 2016The noodles here are amazing! Watch them twirl them around while making them; super cool place.
Ryan McMahonFebruary 8, 2016Can't go wrong with any of the noodles, though they can be oily. Lamb burger is also good.
Channon FordAugust 22, 2016I used to love the food but last visit was not good. Got pork noodle soup and it had zero flavor. Also not a fan of piping hot liquid being served in plastic. Plus their prices went up. Disappointed.
Jelani BektembaMarch 31, 2015go for the spicy lamb noodles, or spicy lamb dumplings (only served after 2pm)
So many yummy things to try!! The spicy is actually spicy 🌶 so beware
BrookeFebruary 1, 2015Xi'an never lets me down. It's a must try if you're in NYC. I recommend the spicy cumin lamb noodles.
Oxtail noodles, cumin lamb, concubine chicken, literally everything!!
Paul KardousDecember 6, 2016One of the lesser stores of the chain. Food is usually cold, and kitchen is the slowest of all the Manhattan locations.
Garett PressMarch 19, 2015The lamb burger makes a great walk n' eat snack. Everyone on the sidewalk gonna be green with envy.
Be prepared to wait at lunch time! Worth it though every time.
Fatma GencOctober 4, 2015Everytime I visit NY I have to go to Xi'an - never dissapointed. I love L2 and N-ything
