The cumin lamb noodles (ordered spicy ) were delicious but I may take the spice down a notch next time. I love hot food but I wasn't expecting it to be this hot. Definitely helped to clear my sinuses!
If you're looking for authentic-ish Chinese street food , Xi'an Famous Foods fits the bill. The noodles are chewy and good. Try the spicy and tingly beef noodles . Not super spicy , but has some spice.
One of those places you want to come back to try all the dishes. Simple Chinese street fare dishes with a delicious spicy oil . The noodles are here are very tasty.
Interesting place for simple delicious noodle dishes . The hand cut noodles are made in shop and the meats are perfectly done ask for the amount of spicy you want. Selfserve. Try dumplings and burger .
The spicy lamb noodles are a must. I mean a little bit too spicy maybe but still amazingly delicious! Had the dumplings and this great Hitachino Japanese beer .
Never been able to find anything quite like Xi'ans! The N9 (beef noodles ) are my go to. Dumplings are also amazing. Pro-tip -- if you are not into spicy just ask to get "mild" or "no spice".
Great to have in the area - love that they don't water the spice level down for the neighborhood either - I'm looking at you UWS location of HAN dynasty! - I digress - the lamb noodles are legit.
Happy this N. Chinese hand-pulled chain is part of the UES. Try their Spicy & Tingly Beef Noodle , the Oxtail Noodle & my fave are their Spicy & Sour Spinach Dumplings .
As always, a fine Xi'an experience with lamb noodles and the lamb burger . I get it with the hawberry tea though be warned that you may want milk instead for how spicy it is.
Get the spicy & sour lamb dumplings . They're perfect. Also, don't miss the spicy cumin lamb noodles and douse it in black vinegar sauce . It's a party in your mouth
The dumplings are amazing. Don't forget to ask for not so spicy it get without broth if you're not ready for serious heat.
Can't get enough of the lamb dumplings doused in the house black vinegar. I have dreams of those dumplings .
Spicy cumin lamb noodles (N1) and a can of Apple Sidra. Done.
Incredibly tasty food. Eating on the spot highly recommended; do not get it to go (see attached picture)
Actually I’m fond of Chinese but this can be better. Are lamb burger & lamb dumplings . Dumplings were great!
Hearty and delicious noodles , burger was a bit dry, noodle soup was great. If u are offended by the service, dnt go to china.
Score a baguette from nearby Orwasher's and fill it with Xi'an's cumin lamb for the best sandwich on the UES.

The cumin lamb noodles and dumplings are the best. I love adding the black vinegar on top, too.
Lamb dumps were fun as many advised. Also got Rice cake w Honey which was alright, tho the sweet + salty mix w lamb was good
The cumin lamb noodles are to die for
Regularly spicy is the way to go! Extra spicy can overwhelm the other flavors
Only had the dumplings , good but not amazing, the oily sauce is a bit much
The lamb dumplings were awesome! That and the cucumber salad might be future go-to
Can't go wrong with the spicy cumin lamb noodles and chrysanthemum tea !
The chicken noodle is an amazing dish when the weather outside is cold
More seating than some other locations. All the better to enjoy your dumplings .
Must get the lamb dumpling soup . Unbelievably tasty.
Been here many times. Always takeout . Flavourful food. Quick service .
Delicious!! Go when they open to avoid a wait or go at an odd time.
Solid authentic Chinese. Would totally eat here every week.
Good if you like spicy stuff. The noodles are handpulled! Beef was super tender
Delicious food! Very happy to have them on the UES!
Cumin lamb burger is awesome. So is the sour hawberry tea .
Worth it regardless of the passive-aggressive signs.
Cumin lamb burger and spicy cumin lamb noodles are delicious but greasy
Love xi’an famous foods. Noodles are great
Delicious noodles . Eat in if you aren't a few minutes walk away.
cumin lamb soup is amazing. Lamb dumplings too!
Great vegetarian options but the dumplings were a bit doughy
Just opened two weeks ago. So empty and nice unlike the midtown locations.
Spicy lamb noodles are excellent
Spicy cumin lamb noodles will unchain your soul from your body!!
????They have the best 涼皮!
A1 and the dumpling are so good
High ratio of passive aggressive signs to customers. Almost everywhere you look.
The spicy pan seared noodles are great.
Great if you like spicy food . Limited choice for kids.
A lot of the meat had a good deal of gristle.
Pork bun and a salad was yummy
Really good, fresh dumplings and all at a very affordable price. Clean restaurant & bathroom was impeccable. We ordered pan fried dumplings, steamed pork dumplings, & wonton soup w/dumplings. Tasty! - Amanda Nanawa
I could come here just for the Mala peanuts (also complimentary during HH). The food is top notch and you can pick the level of spiciness — go for spicy. Great service too! - Melissa Yu
Incredible museum. So much to see and to learn! Friday & Saturday it’s open till 9 pm, and the ticket works for 3 days! We spent 2 evenings there without crowds. We’ll be back. Loved Egyptian exhibit. - Diana Arz
LOVE this place. Everyone who works there is so friendly and the ice cream is so outrageously yummy plus they have great frozen yogurt. They also do seasonal flavors: eggnog, pumpkin pie etc. - Tara Drake
