We got the marbled pork rin ramen and tonkotsu chashy pork ramen. We got the jpop lychee drink as well. Jpop Lychee Drink- This was sweet and refreshing. The lychee flavor is strong and really pushes through. Marbled Pork Ramen- Pork is tenderand practically melts at the mouth. Broth is served hot with a deep savory flavor. They load the dish up with spiced egg, scallions, corn, kale, bean sprouts, radish and edamame. Tonkotsu Chashu Pork Ramen- Chashu is tender with a good amount of fat. The broth is rich and complements the meat well. Still loaded with veggies to make it a hearty dish. Great experience overall!

If you're craving the kind of spice that clears your sinuses and sends your ears ringing, then…read moreyou've come to the right place. This restaurant is not for the weak. One bite is enough to send a novice spice eater to their grave. But that's why I love Xi'an Famous Foods so much. There is not a single item on the menu that you won't enjoy. I've tried a variety of dishes, all of which I've loved. Their pickled cucumbers are both refreshing and flavorful. Their thick flat noodles with your choice of meat are wonderfully saucy. Their dumplings, stuffed with either lamb, pork, or beef (you decide), were even more so drenched in sauce. Their "burgers" (not the American kind, mind you, so don't come here expecting something you can get from Shake Shack) had a satisfying flaky bread with wonderfully juicy cuts of meat. Sure, Xi'an Famous Foods is spicy, but it's not merely the type of spice that is all burn and no flavor. Xi'an's dishes are so full of umami that you'll crave days later. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

You can order at their register or self-service kiosk. There are only around 4 barstool/counter seats, so please note that this isn't necessarily a sit-down restaurant. You have the choice of less spice / regular spice for dishes than include sauces, but I opted for regular spice. The spicy & sour spinach dumplings definitely had a kick, but wasn't too overwhelming. The hand-ripped noodles were chewy and very filling. It did have bits of cabbage, but I wish there were more veggies to round out the noodles. It could definitely be split between two people - again, it's a VERY filling dish since it's 85% noodles.

The food is standard but good quality. Some of it is very authentically Chinese, like food I've had…read morein China (but better quality meat). Some of it is more Americanized, so the place is actually perfect to go to in groups of people with varying comfort levels when it comes to Chinese cuisine. I personally love the sheng jian bao (生煎包)(crispy bottom steamed dumplings with a more fluffy skin than regular jiaozi/gyoza-style dumplings)! For me, it's expensive, but it comes with the location, and it isn't more expensive than other nearby restaurants. The place is clean, and cozy. For these reasons I would usually give 4 stars, but what really truly sets this place apart is the wait staff. They are so nice! I live in the building next door, so I come to Hui often with my two screaming kids (6yo and 2yo). The staff is so nice to them! One waitress speaks treats them like they're her own grand kids who desperately need to be fed and spoiled. She even feeds my 2yo with his fork and succeeds in getting him to eat broccoli (!!!), which I've never once been able to do myself. The rest of the staff is warm-hearted and happy, and always happy to see us, no matter how hungry (and therefore drowning in tantrums) we are. Love going here so much! 10/10 for service :D

I haven't had upscale Chinese food in a very long time so this was a good treat to have. Also, I…read moredon't think I've had a proper Chinese food in UES so I guess I was pretty excited. - Dry Sauteed String Beans - I love this dish so much and they make it very well here. The string beans are extremely crispy and flavorful. I wanted to keep the dried sauce afterwards. - Dry Pot Fish Fillet - Although this was extremely spicy, it was also extremely delicious. I thought the fish was very much the star and it reminded of the fried fish that I would always get in college which is a high praise because I think about that fish at least once a month. The fish was very crispy and also tender on the inside. I wish there was more fish as I feel like the pot had a lot of onions inside. - Taiwan Three Cup Chicken - I thought this dish was okay and can skip. Each chicken piece was a bit small and the sesame oil flavor didn't come through as much. Overall, great experience at Hui and I will be back! Also the servers there were so nice and had excellent music taste. We sat there for almost 4 hours talking and they never forced us to leave and even filled our waters. We are so grateful!

The waiters and waitresses are very welcoming and inviting. They showed effort in wanting to get to know their guests and create a conversation to get comfortable. They offered explanations of the items menu and gave recommendations of their most popular ones. Because of them, we started off with the mango salad, which is a great start to the meal as a mango-fan. Everything else that we ordered, including the roasted duck, the sautéed eggplant and the baked amok was absolutely delicious. I would return to this restaurant again.

We were seated pretty quickly around this time and the waiters/waitresses were really kind and happy to give us recommendations. Ambience: inside of the restaurant itself is pretty elegant and is a on the more aesthetically dark side. Otherwise, not a very noisy restaurant at all and great for tableside conversation. Service: Also great as well! Our waitress (I couldn't catch her name) was amazing and knew the menu well to give us recommendations for the night with a good combination of different types of flavors to try out for the dinner. They had a very well staffed waiter-to-table ratio on a Friday evening for dinner. Food: I really liked the food a lot! I say this as someone who grew up in a Vietnamese household, with some Cambodian dishes from my close relatives. Some of the items that we ordered included: - The Green Mango Salad: which I really, really liked more than I was expecting. - The Phenom Penh Roast Duck: which was really soft and tender (probably the softest duck I've ever had) and was not chewy. One of the few places that I think have gotten duck to my preference. - The Baked Amok: which is a national Cambodian dish and is full of seafood. Also recommend ordering this. - Eggplant with Beef: also a great highlight; while the dish name features the eggplant as the main focus, I think the dish ended up more beef focused more than the eggplant. The only other comment that might be worth mentioning is that it might not have some of the authentic notes of Cambodian food (coming from my Cambodian father)--possibly because some of the authenticity factors are a very acquired taste that many American palates may not find favorable. But as it stands, it's a true Cambodian in America experience that captures the soul more than any place I've ever been. Overall, really great place that I'll be recommending some of my other friends to try out.

Everything I've had has been flavorful and very satisfying. My current favorite is the Pad Thai Woon Sen which is Pad Thai but using the thin bean thread noodles instead of the typical rice noodles. I only wish more dishes had the option of being made vegan and gluten-free. I seem to recall that the Drunken Noodle could be made gluten-free, but that option no longer exists on their online ordering platform. I have eaten at the location a couple of times but usually I order for takeout because I'm at work nearby. The space inside is small with only 4 or 5 small tables, and space is a little tight. But it is clean and the decor is nice and welcoming. The staff is always very friendly and are willing to answer questions if you have any. I usually order takeout during less busy times so my order has been ready by the estimated time they give me (usually 20 minutes from when I place the order).
