“ I’ve been to several Xi’an famous food locations and they’re all consistently good. I finally tried the famous spicy cumin Lamb noodles. I’ve tried just about all the other soups and my favorite is the beef. It’s very tender. I enjoyed the lamb too, it had a unique taste and the broth is flavorful. I recommend trying this place out at least once. You won’t find noodles like these often and for such a good price. I like their Sour Hawberry juice too. Tastes a little like Hibiscus water or "agua de Jamaica” ”
“ It was the first time that I tried noodles, and I can say that here you can find delicious noodles well prepared in a informal environment where you can take away or you can sit down and enjoy them directly there. If you are in Brooklyn in bedmond area, I really suggest you to give them a chance and you will not deluded. For me, it's approved ”
“ The food is very good. If you're not used to spicy foods I recommend you try the milder versions of things. We were two people and each had a plate + some spinach dumplings, and it was plentiful (if you don't eat a lot, just one plate is more than enough). The noodles are hand stretched, they are thick and chewy and very delicious. ”
“ Clean place with amazing Chinese hand-ripped noodles! They also have home made tea in three flavours - jasmine, chrysantemum or berries. Very kind and cheerful lady at the counter :) ”
“ Great food! Atmosphere is a little strange; everything is very well lit but it seems like it should have a cozier vibe, imo. I had the spicy cucumber salad and the tofu custard, both were delicious and affordable! ”
“ Minimal wait time and absolutely worth it. The food is authentic and delicious. I was halfway through enjoying the pork zhajiang hand-ripped noodles when I had to order the cold skin noodles too. That dish became a popular street food where I grew up—back when I was around 8 or 9, down at the condo complex in Yancheng. The moment I tasted it, it brought back a vivid childhood memory, like that scene in Ratatouille when the critic is transported by a single bite. It was such a moving moment that I took the time to thank the chef for making my day. Highly recommend! ”
“ Finally getting to try some Xi'an cumin lamb noodles has been a long time coming and I'm so glad I chose to eat some here. It was exactly what I was hoping for - chewy noodles, strong flavor, and a powerful numbing spice that still, at medium, didn't overwhelm the ceiling of my spice tolerance. My partner had the beef muscle instead of lamb, and it was shockingly tender. The hawberry hibiscus tea was also delicious and we had to grab one extra for the road. ”
“ 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 wait to go back. ”
