I finally visited Xi’an Famous Foods in Williamsburg and it completely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles and the Spicy and Sour Lamb Dumplings in Soup, and both were absolutely incredible.
The hand-ripped noodles were perfectly chewy and soaked up every bit of the rich, bold flavors from the cumin lamb. The lamb was tender, fragrant, and had just the right amount of spice. Every bite was packed with depth and heat, making it one of the most satisfying noodle dishes I’ve had in a long time.
The dumplings in soup were equally amazing. The broth was intensely flavorful, with the perfect balance of spice and tang. The lamb dumplings were soft, juicy, and full of flavor. It felt like a warm, comforting hug in a bowl with a spicy kick that lingered in the best way.
Xi’an Famous Foods delivers bold, authentic flavors that leave a lasting impression. If you’re in Williamsburg and love spicy, well-executed food, this place is a must-visit. I can’t...

Honestly, Xi’an Famous Foods never disappoints. I got the N1 cumin lamb noodles — the smell alone had me hooked before I even took a bite. The hand-pulled noodles are wide, chewy, and so satisfying, and the lamb was tender with zero gamey taste. The cumin and chili oil combo is just addictive.
I also grabbed the B1 pork burger. The bun was crispy outside and fluffy inside, stuffed with juicy, flavorful pork. Every bite was messy in the best way possible. If you like more heat, the B2 cumin lamb burger packs a nice punch that’ll warm you right up.
I’m usually not great with spicy food, but here the spice is balanced — it’s fragrant and flavorful, not just burn-your-mouth hot. A cold soda water on the side was the perfect match.
The place itself is simple, nothing fancy, but honestly that’s part of the charm. Prices are fair for NYC and the portions are super filling.
If you’re nearby, do yourself a favor: get a bowl of noodles and a burger. You’ll be thinking about it long...

If I could eat one dish for the rest of my life it’d probably be biangbiang noodles. And Xi’an Famous Foods does them so, so well.
We used to have a great spot in Toronto called Artisan Noodles that sadly shut down during COVID. So I was beyond excited when I moved to Brooklyn and discovered not one, but over a dozen locations to get the famous hand ripped noodle (in addition to great pork jia mo).
If you’ve never had it, Xi’an Famous Foods is probably the platonic ideal of comfort food. Spicy chili oil, thick noodles, fragrant lamb, pork or beef. The service is always fast and friendly.
The spicy cumin lamb are obviously a favorite, but I also love the pork zha jiang noodles.
Only warning, be careful...
