The noodles are okay, the dumplings are not delicious, and there are only one bottle of soy sauce and chili sauce on the four tables...

Once in a while, I crave Szechuan food. I had only ever eaten at other Xi’an locations. This one was slightly disappointing just because the servings of pork and lamb and the sandwiches were much less than at other locations. I don’t really like the bread they use on those burgers, by design, they’re only value that they sop up the juices from the meat, but in this case, both sandwiches were very dry and it just didn’t work. Secondly this is not unique to this location, these dishes really aren’t “fresh food”. It’s a whole lot of processed food, oils, and pastes to make the seasonings. Once in a while, I might get a craving for spicy hand puller noodles. I’m talking once a year. That’s the only time I would ever come here. All in all it’s not terrible but it’s definitely not great either. if you have a particular craving for some Szechuan food and you are close by, that would be the only reason to ever eat here.

This restaurant is not for vegetarians anymore! Even their most famous item like the spicy cucumber has completely changed since COVID and their aggressive expansion. It just does not taste the same. I will also warn you that there is absolutely nothing that is vegetarian here anymore. This is a dark difference from their offerings. pre-COVID.Keywords: no veggie options, not vegetarian friendlyVegetarian options: There are no vegetarian options here. Xi'an Famous Foods restaurant is no longer vegetarian friendly. You will go hungry here and even their signature item like the spicy cucumber has completely changed after covid and their expansion.

I like the texture of the noodles. However, there is something in the sauce I don’t like. It was too strong for me. The burger was pretty good. The pork was a mixture of fatty parts and lean parts. Probably my favorite of the meal.
Dynamic food. All locations do NOT taste the same, unfortunately. However, this location right 'chea, was EVERYTHING!!! My Mt. Qi hand ripped noodles was ah-mazing ❤️. I have to shed a tear ?...or more. My best Xi'an Famous Foods location by far and I've frequented 6 locations within 3 boroughs.

Well, my girl is Chineese, and she says it it authentic Chineese food, very spicy.She loved it..And if you see a lot of Asians eating in a Chineese restaurant. You know it's good..It's more of a take out, small seating area, not a full size restaurant.

These hand noodles are made to each order and you tell when you take a bite of them. Every single thing from the noodles to the lamb dumplings were excellent. The pork burger had so much flavor and texture in the pork. There is a good amount of Szechuan peppercorn in the spicy noodles that makes you want to keep going back for more. There are dishes such as the pork noodles that are not spicy for people looking for that. The chili oil in the dumplings make me crave it even more now. Even the teas were good, jasmine and the sour hawberry tea were delicious. Honestly really affordable for the amount of food that you end up getting.

Legit place you can tell when you walk in. Order with the tablet on the side, food comes out pretty timely. Five levels of spicy, and they're not kidding around lol so you're warned. I tried N3 the first time and was hooked. Their sandwiches are good, serving size is solid, no frills--sit and eat or take to go.
I don’t know if I have a really bad luck or that’s how the food is. I took the lamb noodle and as soon as I shoved it in my mouth, I felt fizzy and a cool sensation. Almost like eating soap or too much MSG but it wasn’t MSG as I knew the test. Asked my wife and realized I what I was eating had too much Baking Soda as it is used to tenderize lamb meat. I am generally very open to eating different kinds of food but this was unbearable. I was so disgusted that had to throw away the food. I do not write reviews regularly but I had to write this time ?

One of my favorite fast casual spots in the city. The food comes out quick and it’s very high quality. I recommend trying anything with noodles and dining in so they stay as fresh as possible. The spinach dumplings are very good as well. Also, spicier =

Great portions and delicious food. A bit too spicy for me but my husband loved it and devoured it!

Noodles are tasty but the portions are extremely small. I have visited Xi'An (the city) in the past and tried their authentic noodles, and I would say the noodles here are about 60% authentic (they are way too thick). Also, they did not have even tap water available. Overall, it's not worth the price.
