Came back again for a quick meal, and was very pleasantly surprised. I got their Spicy cumin hand pulled noodles, and greatly preferred this one over the soup version. The noodles were perfectly thick and chewy, and grasped onto the strong cumin flavored sauces super well. The lamb was nicely cooked as well. Their Braised pork hand pulled noodles was not what I was expecting, as it came out more like minced pork sauce than chunks of braised pork belly. But overall, fast service, good price for quantity, and would come back again. read more

Really great hand pulled noodles. The texture was great and the flavor of the lamb cumin was addictive. I thought the fried chicken and dumplings were okay. The braised rice was delicious. read more

Really great hand pulled noodles! I have come a handful of times and most times the noodles are really good! One of these visits, though, my noodles were a tad mushy and overcooked. However, usually they are very consistent! Warning that the spicy option is quite spicy (as someone with a fairly high spice tolerance). I have also tried Roujiamo but the bread was rather dry. I skip these and order the noodles instead. They moved locations to a larger one across the street which is nice. Overall, I would recommend! read more

First off, the food is spicy even for my little spice master - it was a bit too spicy for him. It has a nice kick to the small bowls of food. Personally not a fan of the small plastic bowls for dine in. Order at the machine, find a table and wait for your number to be called. It is very small where tables and chairs and butted up against each other which is not comfortable. (Paid?) parking is available in the lot next to the restaurant. When we arrived entry gate was down and exit gate was up. read more

Incredible selection of authentic Xi'an dishes like hand pulled noodles, meat burgers (roujiamo), dumplings, and other appetizers. The hand pulled noodles are a classic, you can get them with a variety of proteins and the spicy cumin lamb was a delicious option. Spice levels are customizable and you can get extra toppings of your favorite. Service is self service, there is a kiosk to order from and stations for utensils and water. There was also a window at the counter to see the noodles being made fresh! Awesome spot, definitely will be coming back when the cravings hit. read more

Was craving spicy food, and came here. The spicy beef noodles and the triple dumplings were soooo good. Noodles were chewy and delicious. Added in bok choy for more vegetables but the cabbage adds a sweetness. Food comes out quickly, despite lines. read more

I love Xi-an food. I had the spicy hand-pulled noodle with lamb. I didn't pay attention and accidentally ordered the dry noodle instead of noodle soup, but it was still delicious and satisfying. The noodles were long and chewy. The sauce was really good and not too spicy. You can change your spice level. I also had the steamed pork and shrimp dumplings. These were delicious and came with a spicy vinegar soy sauce. read more

I've tried the spicy cumin lamb noodle soup, mt qi pork noodles in pork bone soup, spicy pepper chicken noodle soup, fried sauce with pork noodles, the braised beef noodle soup, and the pork dumplings. I recommend medium level spiciness! But, for those who can't handle spice, just get mild. The service here is speedy! There's a kiosk and you can either order on that or talk to the employee at the register. They usually have your food ready within 10 minutes! There's a self-service water fountain where you can choose between hot or cold water and you can also pick up your utensils and napkins there. The interior is bright and has a cute/chic vibe. There is plenty of seating for lone diners as well as for groups of people! Here's what I think of each (in order of most to least favorite) mt qi pork noodles in pork bone soup: SO TASTY! it tastes like an elevated chicken noodle soup because it comes with carrots and celery. It's slightly sour but, it's the perfect tanginess that comes from the pork marinade! it's my go-to because the flavors are so deep. there's also diced mushrooms and cilantro and everything comes together perfectly! it's a comfort food for sure! pork dumplings: the dumplings themselves are pretty small in size but, the dipping sauce that comes with dumplings is TOP TIER deliciousness!! i recommend at least trying it once because the flavor combo of the sauce and juicy dumplings makes for an explosively yummy experience. braied beef noodles soup: the broth is crazy good. comes with bok choy and cilantro. The beef is tender and has some gelatinous parts in it! I think its slow cooked for a long time to get it tender! spicy cumin lamb noodle soup: generous portion of lamb, lamb is well cooked (doesn't taste gamey), and the soup is also delicious, but not as deep in flavor as the two noodle soups I mentioned above! spicy pepper chicken noodle soup: I had this extra spicy and that was not a good choice because it was too spicy to fully enjoy. The broth was similar to the lamb one in terms of depth. It's pretty one dimensional, nothing special! The chicken was not too dry but, I would not recommend getting this one because it's underwhelming! fried sauce with pork noodles: This comes with a fried sauce that is made with bean paste and it has more of a sweet flavor. I prefer my food to be savory/salty so, it was not my favorite! It was actually the only one I ordered that I couldn't finish! Because it's a fried sauce, it's on the oilier side so, I found it to be heavy! Would recommend getting some kind of carbonated drink to cut through the grease if youre gonna order this one! There are cucumbers in this dish so the freshness helped cut through the oiliness of the dish but, I didn't really like the taste of warm cucumber which was sitting on top of the hot noodles. read more

Unexpected surprise! Food came out fast and was tasty! Spicy level is appropriate based on selection. Would definitely come back!

We ate there tonight 10/28. The dumplings (2 kinds) were good but all other dishes were subpar. The vege Bun is rated 1 Seaweed pork soup is rated 1 Taiwanese Braised pork in pork bone soup is rated 2 They don't even have hot tea! We spent over $50 so it's very disappointing read more

Xi'an Street Food is a relatively new spot, taking the place of Mango Mango occupying the same spot previously. The food is very different compared to Mango Mango, but the interior is so similar. They kept the seats and style of wall painting that shows what food they have, so the ambiance is very similar to Mango Mango. There aren't any servers - you order up at the counter and it's brought to you. I got one of the pork "burgers" and some of the noodles. The noodles were super good, but the pork burger (it's not a burger in the traditional sense) was just okay. Pricing came out to be pretty fair and service was good too. Definitely would recommend giving them a try! It's hard to find Xi'an food in upstate NY. read more

Food is delicious and portion is super decent. Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant ambiance was pleasant

The noodle is good, but I'm not a fan of the mixed veggie medley, which is a big bowl of chopped celery and carrots and mushrooms. The ordering was kind of confusing too, I was craving noodle soup but ended up ordering dry noodles because they had the same name- super confusing. read more

Terrific food: Asian style great Korean spicing ans choice of spice levels. None is pretty flat mild is ok and medium is my preference. Medium is not very hot but strong flavors. Most of the patrons were Asian folks so the food is done right. read more

The dumplings were delicious! The noodles were too but I should have ordered "skinny" bc I prefer them. But most people ordered the wide noodles and to be honest we were all slurping them up! read more

One of my new favorite places in ctown! The noodles are tasty and are made right in the store! You can see the chefs make them behind the counter. Service is very fast too and it's reasonably priced. I like to order either the N3 or N6. Both are great! I also ask to make mine extra spicy but you can request no spice as well. The decor is very similar to what Mango Mango used to be which makes sense since it's occupying the same space. Overall, if you're looking for a quick pick up spot with friends or a cute place to sit down, I highly recommend Xi'an Street Food! read more

The food was great, first time trying this place. Service was not as great, but I'd go back only for the food

I miss mango mango. the food wasn't bad, just not worth the price. would be more stars if price was cheaper

food is always so good omg. it's fast and easy and relatively inexpensive. always packed but you dont usually have to wait long for a table since it's a fast joint read more

Just like xian famous food. Even has their menu set up with the same lettering. Not as flavorful but still scratches the itch. Would recommend. read more

Got the food really quickly. The Mt Qi pork noodles were amazing. Place is definitely worth a try.

We go to noodle shops all the time. This place was exceptionally awesome! Place was packed. The hand ripped noodles are thick and cooked perfectly. The N1 was awesome (medium spice is the way to go). Signature thin noodles were also very good (and don't let the menu fool you - you can order dishes. I spice even if it says it comes spicy) read more

Delicious delicious fast food noodles! Totally authentic texture and flavor. Wow. Loved the spicy pork. We'll be back.
