Local counter-serve chain offering Xi'an-style Chinese fare, including noodles, soups & sandwiches.
"There are now more than 10 locations of Xi’an Famous Foods just in Manhattan, and that’s a great thing. Come for inexpensive, spicy soups and noodles. If you’re a first timer, you need the noodles with spicy cumin lamb." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Hillary Reinsberg, Matt Tervooren
"If you look on a map, you’ll find that someone left a trail of Xi’an Famous Foods breadcrumbs all in a row going up 5th Avenue. They make spicy, great Chinese food that you should eat as soon as you get it (the noodles congeal a bit if you take it back to your office). Also the “spicy” in spicy cumin lamb noodles is not for show. You’ve been warned." - Hannah Albertine, Matt Tervooren
