Xi'an Famous Foods (East Village)

Very, very delicious. Although I am not from Xi'an and have never been there, I cannot comment on whether it is authentic, but in terms of taste, it is really very, very delicious! ! This is a chain store, and it is said that there are many in Boston.

I've been there twice. It's a small shop. There weren't many people when I went there. I didn't have a deep impression of the food I ordered, such as cold noodles and fried noodles. The taste was average. If it hadn't closed down in China, it would have been an unknown shop.

I went with my friends to try a different flavor. We ordered four dishes: tofu brain, cold noodles, a bowl of noodles that I forgot was similar to knife-cut noodles, and a roujiamo. I particularly like roujiamo, which tastes delicious.

This is a small chain store. Friends who have been to New York should have been recommended. Some people even praise it as better than the local cold noodles in Xi'an. I tried it once and it tasted really authentic. It can't be said to be better than Xi'an, but it should be on the food list if it moves to Beijing.

The most delicious Xi'an snacks are Liangpi (cold noodles) and Roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo). The oldest store is in a basement, and the new store is next to the road, with a very conspicuous facade. However, both stores are located in Flushing, which is basically a gathering place for Chinese people. After exiting Main Street, you can see the large facade not far away. You can also find delicious chicken skewers on the way. For parking, I recommend going to the largest Municipal Parking. This parking lot has two floors. Although there are many cars, the parking fee is quite cheap, 1 quarter per 15 minutes. However, the disadvantage here is that parking spaces are very difficult to find. Sometimes you may use up half a tank of gas and still not find a parking space. Sometimes, some cars just park there and wait to see which car is about to leave, and then park right in front of it, not giving others a chance. So, if you're in a hurry, you should use GPS to search for nearby parking lots with higher fees to avoid wasting your time. Okay, back to this restaurant, you can't pay with credit cards, you have to pay in cash. So everyone should prepare cash. As for food, the first choices are cold noodles and roujiamo. But to be honest, I personally think the cold noodles in the old restaurant are better, with more chili peppers and the seasoning is a typical Shaanxi flavor. The cold noodles in this new restaurant with a big storefront have a sesame paste flavor... Not the taste of us people in the northwest... But if you are from Beijing, you will probably love it. :)

I'm a true fan of Xi'an's famous delicacies. I've tried almost every one of their dishes: roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), liangpi (cold noodles), cold noodles, tofu pudding, and mutton offal soup. I always finish the roujiamo in seconds, so I don't have time to take a picture. I took a few photos of the others. The only downside was that I once ordered two roujiamo to go and didn't eat them right away. The grease stuck to the packaging and made them inedible. My friends in Xi'an told me that they use special grease-proof paper bags for takeout. I hope the owner will consider this.

Early in the morning, we headed straight to the nearest "Xi'an Famous Foods." The place was super small, so we paid and then picked up our food. We waited for a long time before getting a table. We each got a roujiamo and hot liangpi noodles. We'd always had liangpi noodles before, but this time, the hot ones were fresher and a bit more sour.
