Old Xi'an

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. The place is self order ordering done at one of two kiosk screens and self seating as far as we could tell. Items we ordered as of 7/2022: - Beef burger - $6.95 - Very tender beef and the buns itself was also nice and fluffy. Definitely wouldn't call this a "burger" though. - Chicken Hand-Ripped Noodle in Soup - $13.95 - Missus loved this one. She chose the "Spicy" level and says it was just perfect. Noodles are tender BUT there is a lot of it and due to the thickness it can be quite heavy carb wise. Loved the soup however! - Steam mini pork buns - $7.95 - Not bad but nothing mind blowing. Buns itself had a slight sweetness to it which paired well with the soy dipping sauce it came with. Probably wouldn't get this again. - Beef Hand-Ripped Noodle - $13.95 - Same beef as the beef burger above and same hand pulled noodles. The beef again has great flavor and tenderness. Noodles are good but will get quite filling quite fast due to the thickness to them. Can't compare this to the Xi'an Famous Foods locations since they were closed but overall we were satisfied with our meal here.

It was a terrible experience. First of all, for the food alone, it was a terrible taste. I ordered two cold noodles, it was EXTREMELY salty. You can choose the level of spicy but cannot change the saltiness when you make the order. This is the most terrible Chinese food I have ever had in the NYC. The noodle itself tastes worse than the fast food you bought from a supermarket. Secondly, there is almost no service. Maybe it’s because I arrived at around 4pm, there was not enough works. You have to make the order using a self-serving machine just in the entrance, and pay the bill before your food is served, which means you need to pay at least 15% of tips before you get your food or service. Then, nobody will provide you the water or any basic needs for eating. You need to grab a cup of water by yourself. After you finish, we clean up the table also by ourselves. Nobody shows up to take care of any issues.

Good spot to eat during office lunch break. The food is ready remarkably fast less than 5min and the portions are good. I tend to get the lowest level of spicy and it’s enough and I’m Mexican!. I get the hand-pulled veggie noodles— prices are comparable other spots in the area. It starts getting crowded around 12:30.Recommended dishesNoodle Soup

If you're looking for a quick, fast-food style meal - this is a solid place. I went on a weekday evening so there weren't many people there. I ordered a Spicy Beef Hand Ripped Noodle and Steam Mini-Pork buns on a kiosk and they brought it very fairly quickly, nice and warm. I ate indoors and didn't have any issues with it. Was in-and-out in less than an hour. Nothing of fine-dining quality but it does the job and I'd definitely come back.

A quick lunch spot right in the middle of Downtown NY. The dumplings soft and delicious and the pork buns were okay. Definitely check it out if you want a cheap and quick dumpling fix.

The staffs are very friendly and interior is nice. Although it looks like it is currently takeout or dine out only. The food was very underwhelming. The cold skin noodle was extremely mushy and choppy. The veggie dumpling was extremely bland. Then for the Chinese chicken burger, the bun was soft expected it to be crunchy and bit chewy, though the chicken was juicy with burst of cumin flavor.

Okay. Decent flavor. No better or worse than Xian Famous Foods. You order from a touch screen and they call you to grab it when its ready. We got an assortment of dishes. Food was okay. Nothing was overly flavorful. The best item was the spicy cumin lamb burger. The cucumbers were disappointing. The extra spicy noodles were not even spicy until I went back to up to ask to for extra chili oil and that helped get it partially to where it should be. Oh well. #30 cucumber salad - $6.95 #15 spicy cumin lamb burger - $6.95 #5 spicy cumin lamb hand-ripped noodle extra spicy - $13.95 C1 - Chicken Hand-ripped noodle soup in soup- $13.95 If you're in the area, it isn't bad, but isn't necessarily a destination restaurant, which is unfortunate.

We came here after reading the online reviews and was pretty disappointed. We ordered the beef noodle soup no spice, pork noodle soup, and a beef bun. The beef noodle soup was barely beef flavored and didn’t have very much flavor overall because of the lack of spiciness. The pork soup was basically only spice flavored and the meat was a little tough. The noodles in both soups was disappointing as the noodles were almost soggy tasting. Overall, everything is fine and edible, but I was pretty disappointed in the meal.

The food were good... but it was strange all the plastic. I preferred to have a more home food feeling. Seems that they have the food packed and just serve it.Food: 4/5

A hidden little lunch spot, offers a variety of tasty noodles but you can never go wrong with flat noodles in hot broth with some chili oil, I usually go with medium spicy to give it some punch on a cold day, definitely helps clear the sinuses.Food: 5/5
