Xi'an

Our Upper West Side location opened in a not-so-happening section of Broadway to bring our food to the west side of Manhattan for the first time. We get our fair share of Columbia University students dropping by for noodles and burgers, but we recognize that the neighborhood has a much more diverse demographic, with a demanding palate. And because some of our most loyal fans have moved up here from other neighborhoods with our stores, we know we can find our place in the UWS, too. Grand opening was December 7, 2013. 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.
