Where the Xi'an becomes famous and travels to you. This is their central kitchen. No table service. But you can watch the noodles being spun and pounded. Food is super fresh and delicious. Eat at the counter or take it home.

Good quality for a reasonable price. The staff here is friendly and gives suggestions to accommodate your tastes. Bathroom is for paying customers which is standard for NYC. Grab some of their specialty Chinese drinks and hand pulled noodles.
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. Since then, it’s become a beloved local fast-casual chain, with locations in New York’s Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens boroughs. As a family-owned business, Xi’an Famous Foods looks to reintroduce the world to the unique western Chinese cuisine of the founder’s hometown through some classic dishes: liang pi “cold-skin noodles," stewed pork burgers, wide hand-pulled “biang biang” noodles, and more, all in their most authentic forms based on family recipes.
