- If you walk into a Xi'an Famous Foods, you'll likely hear the rhythm of wide hand-pulled noodles slapping onto the counter. The restaurant's biang biang noodles are the star of its most popular dish, spicy cumin lamb noodles, one of the dishes born out of a father-son dream to share the cuisine of their hometown. The city of Xi'an sits at the eastern end of the Silk Road, where flavors and cuisines of China and the Middle East combine, and today, the cuisine attracts hungry New Yorkers to Xi'an Famous Foods' 10 locations.

Spicy Chili Oil Perfectly Coats Xi'an Famous Foods' Most Popular Dish | Legendary Eats
I visited years ago and the noodles are certainly delicious but I’ll never forget that Jason Wang donated ~$75,000 to the suicide prevention hotline the week Anthony Bourdain died. This family will never forget how Bourdain’s visit jumpstarted their massive success.
Respect definitely will visit when I travel to NYC.
Real recognize real
I thought u meant Jackson Wang lmao
Humility beats everything. I hope for many more years of success for this family. And thank you for that note. Not that you WANTED credit, but who would have known that this family possessed such sincerity even at their level of success? That's some interesting info @tosh t
Def gonna hit this spot, next time im in NY
His dad rockin that cut tho!!!
bro all of my chinese friends who had stylish dads ALL rocked that same cut! and they ALL pulled it off lmao.
Had thought it was his brother at first.
For real 💯
Thought I’m the only one who noticed LMAOOO
He really went for the peaky blinders cut
This is actually a good 'Food Insider' review. Very professional and humble host and great business with regular people reviews....not like yuppy girls/guys eating everywhere and giving their opinions
I was just about to say that too, the other ones always feel like a highschool project with wanna be "hipsters" , this was def MUCH Much better, it was professional, yet the reviewer was still having fun with it, a perfect balance
Not to mention the "yuppy" vids usually recycles their video shots over & over again
Agree
I totally forgot this was even food insider!
@Taryn Varricchio Take note with our feedback please. We are so tired of the super hipster, squeezing out donut filling, repetitive clips. I like this kind of video. Keep it up!
his father looks like he could be the same age as his son
it's that haircut bro
@@pwenkojammy2894 nah bro it’s the phyyzique
Wow! I missed that in video. I thought they were brothers
It’s common in Asian
Asians never age
The color of that chili oil in your thumbnail is beautiful.
@Duo-Delhi okay I subbed np 😊
take care
I know, right?
Its like honey.
@Duo-Delhi lmaooo it sucks delete your channel
@Duo-Delhi subbed . keep it up my friend!
I like the CEO. So humble & knowledgeable about food. Exactly knows how to make things favourful & balanced.
@Duo-Delhi You should quit if you can't promote yourself with your own ability
@@LemoNanora facts
@Duo-Delhi Dont listen to the haters . Keep grinding bro
Why do you think, as a broke loser nobody, that you're in a position to validate whether someone has skills, despite having none yourself?
" I can make it at home just 7 ingredients and chili oil"
- the chili oil has 30 spices
lao gan ma is already amazing, that shit is a drug with dumplings or any type of noodle man
the chilli oil can be simple, just salt, MSG, red chilli power then hot oil pour on it.
@@royisdabest i see another lao gan ma addict. nice
@@enkaphalin1111 sponsored by john cena
It doesn’t have to be exact just put your own spin on it, you can make some pretty good sauces by using the spices you want
Oh thank God this restaurant hasn't closed yet. I saw some interviews of them at the beginning of lockdown and economic meltdown, they sounded pretty grim back then (they didn't get the early phase of COVID relief). Thankfully they are surviving now and hopefully forever more.
They closed more than half their stores
For the East coast folks, you can order the whole package from them online. They send you the chili oil, cooked lamb, vegetable, and the dough. You can pull the noodle like in the video before cooking it, then mix everything together. It's pretty fun and tasty just like at the restaurant.
I wanna order some 😮
Same ngl
Xi'an Famous Foods is a must-go place for me whenever I visit NYC. The food is absolutely authentic and amazing. It's also beautiful to see everyone from all backgrounds enjoying their food like Xi'an natives.
Woke diversity is life
@@teabaggervance8 wut

Stop cappin
taryn is one of the only few hosts of food insider videos that makes the videos enjoyable to watch. her videos are always professional and they dont show unnatural reactions or repetitive shots
Yeah unlike Medha cause that girl is annoying asf
Well... 😅😅😅
can’t stand the one that keeps harassing the owner for the secret recipe…she’s unbearable.
As a former New Yorker, I can confirm that their food is really good. We moved out of nyc in 2015. We tried every xi'an noodle restaurant in bay area. Nothing is as authentic as theirs.
I'm pretty sure the only place that will have xi'an noodles that are as good or better is San Gabriel and nearby areas east of LA
@Your Lover I will agree that driving and parking in LA is shit but have you seriously eaten here? San Gabriel has the best Chinese food in North America, hands down
Daaaamn. I knew they were the best in New York but I assumed the Chinese population on the West Coast meant the odds were decent someone in SF could fairly go head to head. But if not there, its best in America, hands down.

Yo I’m not sure what’s fresher, the food made to order or his dad’s cut. 🔥
When he says "As an asian kid you're not supposed to go into restaurants" I say to him:
You are good at something you love. You take great pride in the service you provide others and are rewarded for it, I hope, fairly. Best of luck to you and others that follow such a path... wherever it may lead.

Anthony Bourdain - R.I.P.
I hope he's in a better place.
Didn’t he kill himself Why did he kill himself I just know how he died IDK why.
@@bananaman5267, well, as the story goes, he did suffer from severe depression for years, largely due to alcohol & drugs, and the final straw was his girlfriend, Asia Argento. She had spoken out about Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuses a week earlier to a reporter, then she was found having sex with the reporter. I guess Anthony had enough of this shit on earth.
@J J ^ this guy, true enough all of the above. We're not occupying a pleasant sphere. :-)
one of Anthony Bourdain comment about MSG is my fav - R.I.P
Never in my life I'm so captivated by how beautiful the chilly oil is
I’m taking a trip to NY just to eat those noodles in 2021.
Good luck ❤
got your mouth watering too eh
@Your Lover Flushing easily the best 👍👍 the one in FiDi is nice though. Either way gotta have it immediately. No packing it up!!
Waiiit forrrmeeee
I'm joining
Lived in Xian for a couple years, man this makes me want some biang biang mian, some hu la tang or rou jia mo 🤤🤤🤤 IMO Shaanxi is one of the top provinces for food in all of china
food insider: talks about actual chili oil
me: LAO GAN MA
lao gan ma is the bomb. no more lee kum kee haha
My thoughts too! XD
Holy shi that stuff is SO GOOD
@@merrillgeorge1838 Hah that is a fun fact. Chinese people do love real estate! Partly because they view it as an extremely useful asset, partly because they distrust their own domestic stock market for storing/gaining wealth long-term.
LEE KUM KEE GANG RISE UPPPPP
Can we appreciate how amazing the thumbnail looks?
If you guys opened up in London, you’d kill it, dish looks amazing and can’t wait to try when next in NY, stay safe 👍🏽🇬🇧🙏🏽😷
+1 for a London branch! Dying to have another bowl of the lamb cumin noodles N1!
There is a lot of craft that goes into this. Making each set of noodles to order for a restaurant takes time and space. You can’t pre-make things in advance. You’ve got to appreciate the dedication to the art.
Hearing those noodles, brought back childhood memories
This video was seriously good. I can't really explain why but could be the way the food looks, the success story and the chemistry between the owners and the interviewer. Definitely looks like a place one should go to when visiting New York!
Living in Queens, NYC is such a treat; having all sorts of ethnic food from the world over.
me: **clicked on the vid for chili oil**
the vid: **dough go slap slap**
Im so glad they are still rocking on! i gotta go back there ASAP for my craving.
Xian’s famous food is the only vivid memory from my NYC trip. Top notch noodles. The best Chinese food I ever had.
I'm from Xi'an!!!! I miss this !
I love that the testimonials came from people of all different ethnicities. It tells me that there's something in this food for everyone
I wanna fly from Suriname to Xi'an Famous Foods just to try the dish. The biang biang noodles is calling me.
It shows the Beauty and the Art of the food before you devour it? Yum BigTime! I perspirate right on the top of my Head while the Host showing when she raised up the Beauty of those Noodles! And Wow for that Home Made Noodles! That's Awesome!
I just tried these this weekend. Its one of the best things I've ever eaten and it was like 9 dollars. That's just crazy!! In midtown manhattan no less.... everyone needs to try this
I thought they were siblings at the beginning of the video
Gorgeous family - I will definitely order the cookbook! ♥️
Their food is AMAZING!
Indeed. On UA-cam, I saw recently some happy people in rural Xi'an foraging casually for special meals wild arugula, wild thyme, etc., and even wild morel mushroom, which would be outrageously expensive in the west, and the ways they prepared and combined these organic food ingredients with, for example, lamb, vegetables, starch, etc. were just so "international" !!! I think Silk Road definitely contributed to the exciting multiculturalism of Xi'an.
Perfect for a day when you feel a little *chili!*
I was about to get the pun gun but this time I'll spare you.
I ate at the East Village location 10 years ago and Jason was taking the orders, still remember how delicious and flavorful the food was, continued success guys.
Looks sooo good!! Great interview and video.
5:06 listen to the background music and suddenly you realize you've heard this somewhere
That’s the gift for you
oh no
I've had their food from when they just started back in Flushing. Love what they have done and their growth! Its so heart warming to see them being able to almost break barriers and have people from all sorts of backgrounds to come and enjoy their food. They contribute so much to the culture. Keep on representing to the fullest!
Lies again? American Education Evil Angel
There's such an art and science to good noodles - it's a carbtastic ballet!
@Duo-Delhi Very cool, I'll have to check it out!
Cartastic though
I simply heard “spicy cumin lamb noodles” and I legit started salivating. It’s like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this
Food Insider UA-cam Channel Freaking Rocks 🪨 !!!! Makes me wanna travel just for lunch!
Yellow never age. I still look like I'm in my 20s when I'm 30.
Noodles are shaped where it can coat all that yummy goodness.
Dad created the noodles as an excuse as to why there are always slapping noises in the bedroom.
I don’t know what chu mean I --
@@sagisdoodleverse9696 You innocent soul
hol up
haha nice one😂
Wat?
If Anthony says a place is good, it is legit! RIP Anthony 😢
What happened
I like these people, usually with food videos exploring restaurants the energy is weird and people just seem fake and disingenuous but this father and son duo and the host seem pretty cool. Super clean kitchen and very fresh looking ingredients, food looks great too
tried making the noodles just now, delicious, did it without the slapping no quite as thin, but so easy and delicious.. defiantly going to try that again, develop the art 😄
That dish IS delicious. Got to get it.
That is heaven in a bowl ....wow
I love not only the noodles but also the people. I can feel the positive vibes in this place just by watching the video!
Is it just me or did anyone else think the father was the son for a second because of that fresh 'do? Seriously, pops is stylin' with that haircut.
Man that food looks amazing!
looks incredible
I’m envious, I wish I eat that in my house and I’m Chinese. But sadly, my folks are not huge fan of spices.
In fact, my mother is Cantonese/Southern Chinese. She has this philosophy that food should be ‘pure’ or natural; always lightly flavored and balanced.
For example, rice should stay white and never mixed with any stuff, except fried rice.
As a Chinese who have tried this place, I approve the message in the video.
Have to go where the cooks are Chinese though. Midtown locations not nearly as good as Chinatown one
@@trentbateman agree
Looks delicious, love Northern chinese food. From Malaysia.
This dish looks so good....
Wonderful video. That really, REALLY looks good!! I like the owner (and the father/son team approach). If I'm ever there - I will make it a guaranteed stop. Thanks so much.
I'm so disappointed in myself. I've walked past their location in Flushing countless times and have never actually sat in. Making that my first mission of 2021!
kPoP
Love this place!!!
ngl they seem so chill I definitely will visit if I can next time I go to NYC
Omg I cant wait to start traveling again. N.Y I miss you ! This is one of my first few stops!
you know Mike Chen watched this video.
Came looking for this comment.
Mike Chen actually thinks XFF is overrated, according to his old Chinatown videos lol
That Falungong cult member? He is not a chinese Chinese, enjoy his KFC
Omg this looks so tasty im drooling
A very nice portrait of this business and the food, thx!
In Chinese this is an combination of 油泼面(chili oil noodles) and 孜然羊肉(cumin lamb)，combining both dishes is no way traditional but its sooooo good
Her chopstick technique is interesting lol she's super sweet though and I thought she did an amazing job!
Love that dish.Can't change my opinion.
I can't wait to visit NY and eat this!
at 5:05 you can hear the ph intro music
5:50 thats what she said
Nice and clean place to eat..got to come by one day.
What a cool owner and a cool interviewer
Bruh I always went to this restaurant at it's first location every week when I took music lessons in flushing....I did not know it was this big wtf. As someone who ate from here for years, I can say, this place is dope. Give it a try when you can. It's worth it.
Im drooling... gdmt. first time in a while that i watch a foodie video without food infront of me. IM DYING
My mom is from Shaanxi, I think the food of xi'an is very authentic. Although the cakes of Roujiamo are too dry, the noodles are really good.
Can’t wait to eat at this place!
I love the Food Inside channel😊😊 and I have a lot of useful information.☺☺
Their noodles are addicting. Worth the try if anyone is in Queens.
Not only in Queens. They have outposts in Manhattan as well.
Nyummy...i luv spicy food, specialy Asian food hmmmm
We like Jason. Seems like an all-around cool guy :)

Happy to be here early....🥳🥳😁😁
@Duo-Delhi dude, I'm from India too but could you please stop copy and pasting in like every comment? It's annoying
They opened a place across from where I lived in Williamsburg. I got a little spoiled eating there. Great video.
I go here all the time. I'm addicted
gonna be honest, the only reason I clicked on the video was cos the thumbnail image was so goddamn aesthetic!
From the thumbnail I thought that oil was maple syrup 😆
I live in Minnesota and often am tempted to buy a ticket to NYC just to eat these noodles. They are that good.
Love it!
God... I miss the spot in Golden Mall but I’m happy they expanded
You know your stuff, that’s the old school og location. It’s wild how big they’ve gotten since then.
@@caglioso yeeeeeeee. Used to go there before Anthony Bourdain went starting around 2006. My dad was always one of those Jonathan Gold type foodies who did heavy amounts of research into the best places in New York and he heard about it through the grapevine. After the Bourdain episode aired we got really excited about it and went there again. Some of my other favorites in that area was that dollar Peking duck shop that I believe was down the street (it’s been closed for a while I think) and this one lamb skewer stall somewhere in flushing that I always forget the name of.
Bro those noodles dont compare to anything else in the city. A must try for sure
