    Hot and Sour Noodle Soup
    Christy C.

    Review is for the food only, I didn't get a chance to try their drinks. I would recommend getting their noodle but they definitely need training in customer service. While I was inside the store, they were giving out free drink samples in their storefront. A girl holding a tray of sample was walking around to offer the drink. She went to all tables but skipped mine. We had eye contact so I'm positive that she saw me. No idea why she did that, maybe I was unlucky. I ordered hot and sour noodle soup with pork intestine, guilin style rice noodle and braised egg. Their braised egg is the darkest egg I have ever seen but it tasted yummy. Their noodles were good and I prefer dry over soup noodle. You need to make a order in the counter and they will bring the food to your table whenever is ready. I requested for a spoon and my server just dropped it on my tray. I might be a bit picky here but I just cannot imagine someone would do this to their customers. If the owner is reading this, I hope you understand that small things matter. I love supporting local business and I hope there will be an improvement in service the next time I visit.

    107. Beef with Szechuan Pepper
    Nicole L.

    Ordered from UberEats. I got beef w Szechuan pepper hot pot medium spicy, small order comes w small rice. The portion were big enough for me to eat as 2 meals. It comes w generous amount of beef and assorted vegetables. Definitely my favorite dry hot pot so far.

    推荐他们家独有的招牌锡兰蛋黄芝士奶盖 第一次就被惊艳到了 服务态度很好 米粉好吃 很正宗 Must try their egg yolk cheese macchiato tea, you can't find it anywhere else!

    They have perfected bubble tea. My favorite in NYC! They have the best, freshest ingredients and tea. Their tapioca pearls are the actual best of any bubble tea I have had in the states. You can tell how fresh they are and it makes a huge difference. As a tea drinker, I can't tell you how much I appreciate their tea selections. Also that you can choose how much sugar to add!!! I get tea here a lot more often than other places because I can remove sugar from it!

    Brown Sugar Bubble Tea

    It was great. Not too sweet and not too bland. I was in a hurry but seems like it's taking time, but understandable because I order it night time and was a little bit late at night so maybe they were tired. But tastes is really good.

    Taro with brown Sugar and beef guilin noodle
    Cathy L.

    Now In Cha is doing promotion until 1/1/20, free any drink with purchase of 1 main entree(e.g guilin noodle ), I ordered Taro with Brown Sugar and beef guilin noodle, both are good, just don't forget to add chilie hot oil sauce to the noodle, it tastes a lot better with hot oil.

    Hungry panda a app like Uber eat.

    The owner was so greedy cuz when I walked in for a pork rice noodle, they charged me $9.25 but I checked the menu and online menu price with HungryPanda, it states $8 only.

    It is the best drink place to go. The store always comes out new drinks to surprise me. The ingredients are so fresh as always. Highly recommended...

    Staff are attentive and preempted my accommodations for the kids (straws, plastic plates etc)…read more Very adorable and filling meals. I asked to sub rice for noodles because one of my kids is a rice pot (can't go without rice) and requested extra sauce, which they kindly provided. The set meals are a fantastic deal; a full size entree, an appetizer and a drink for $19-20. An extra order of noodles is $2.50 and it's really double the amount of noodles that comes in your entree. I also ordered their new dish with has abalone and sea cucumber; this is not part of a set meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has that umami sweetness that comes from a great soup base and the noodles are delicious as usual. The abalone was tender, the sea cucumber had a bite to it. There was fish maw and wood ear in there as well.

    The restaurant is bright and clean. The staff is friendly. Food overall is decent…read more The cucumber salad: first bite was just ok. But after a few bite, it gets better. The scallion sauce isn't too strong and no aftertaste lingering like garlic sauce. If you're not allergic to peanuts, definitely add the peanut bits. It adds an extra flavor. 8/10 The woodear salad: very vinegary and crunchy. 9/10 The potato salad:crunchy and the flavor is just right. Mild spicy. 8/10 The original soup noodle: too mild. Barely any flavor. 5/10 The mala pork intestine soup noodle: I got the regular spiciness level and it was actually quite spicy. If you can't tolerate spicy food, try mild or medium first. The pork intestine is bit chewy. Otherwise the flavor is good. 8/10 The seafood tom yum soup noodle: mild tom yum flavor. The soup base is slightly on the sour side. Overall is good. 8/10 Thai style soup noodle: the soup flavor is good. Not too spicy. 9/10 We also tried the brown sugar rice cake: it's just ok. Not crunchy enough. The brown sugar is missing some caramelized flavor. So it is a sweet rice ball. 5/10 I think the temperature inside would be fine if you go during a cool day. When it's a hot day, the restaurant could get very hot even if they turn on both ACs. With just 2 ACs insides, and eating a hot bowl of spicy soup noodle, we were all sweating inside. Though the food is good, I would not return during summertime. It's just too hot to enjoy a good bowl of hot soup noodle.

We walked into a simple, fast casual setup that focuses more on the food than the atmosphere, with a clean, functional space designed for quick meals and takeout rather than lingering. The ordering counter is straightforward, and the staff moves efficiently, keeping the flow moving even during busy lunch periods. The hand pulled noodles are the biggest highlight, with thick, chewy strands that have a satisfying texture and hold onto the sauces well. We ordered a few different noodle dishes, and the flavors leaned bold with chili oil, spices, and savory seasonings that give the dishes their signature Shaanxi style profile. The stewed pork and beef options were both generous and filling, but the lamb dishes stood out with a strong cumin flavor that brought a deeper, more aromatic taste to the table. The lamb burger is another unique item, combining seasoned lamb with a crispy, handheld format that feels different from typical restaurant offerings. The noodles themselves are the main draw, but the lamb burger is worth adding to the order if you want to try something beyond the bowl. Service is quick and efficient, making it a convenient option for lunch or a casual dinner. Portions are generous for the price, and the menu has enough variety to try different dishes across multiple visits. The spice level can be adjusted, but many dishes naturally lean toward bold and spicy flavors, so keeping that in mind is worth it if you prefer milder food. Xi'an Famous Foods is a reliable spot for anyone craving hand pulled noodles and strong, flavorful Chinese dishes. The chewy noodles, cumin lamb, and unique menu items make it stand out from more traditional Chinese restaurants, especially for a quick meal that still feels distinctive and satisfying. It is not a place for a long, leisurely dinner, but for a fast, flavorful bowl of noodles that delivers on texture and spice, it hits the mark well.

However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training.

On my most recent visit, I watched the staff make some of their plump and juicy wontons. They use such a high ratio of shrimp to pork, which makes them absolutely delicious. I can't get enough of them. With that said, their beef brisket and noodles are no slouches. That's why I got a bowl of Wonton & Beef Brisket Noodle Soup to be able to taste everything I enjoy the most here. I'll be back asap. Btw, buy the wontons frozen and enjoy them at home. I always leave with a few boxes.

The portion size lined up with the cost, and more importantly, the quality delivered. Every sip of the broth and every slurp of the udon made it clear this was a thoughtfully prepared dish.

To start off, we had the Cheeseburger Dumplings ($12), which was so unique. We've never had something like this and they executed it really well. The dumplings were filled with meat and fried with a skirt. The cheese part was topped over it like a melty dressing, so a delicious and special dish here. Plus, it had a side salad to balance all the grease here. For the entrees, we had to get the udon and shared the Niku Udon ($25) and Salmon Ikura Udon ($30). It was a nice combo between a hot and cold udon. The Niku was your classic udon bowl filled with plenty of beef and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory for a warm and comforting meal. On the other hand, the salmon udon was quite unique with matcha udon and fresh salmon. There is a dashi to pour and mix into the noodles, which still gave it flavor and the slurp you want in a udon. Both were so great in its own way. Even their ramen also looked great, but I love all noodles. Definitely a great spot to dine near Barclays Center. Love to come back whenever I'm in the area again. The udon dishes are on the pricier side, but they're huge bowls.
