"This FiDi spot has a Northwestern Chinese menu that’s almost identical to the one at Xi’an Famous Foods a short walk away, and the food here is just as good. Pick cumin lamb, spicy beef, stewed pork, or cumin chicken, then specify whether you want it in a burger, over rice, stir-fried with noodles, or in a noodle soup. You can get thin rice noodles, but we like the thick flat noodles stir-fried with cumin lamb, or cold noodles with tofu skin. They also have a variety of “mini appetizers” like steamed pork buns and kelp salad (all $3.50), which are useful for when you want to try a few different things in small portions." - kenny yang, neha talreja, hannah albertine
