Xi'an Famous Foods 西安名吃 | Court Square LIC
Our verdict
A strong pick for a quick Long Island City noodle meal, especially if the goal is spice, hand-ripped noodles, and a low check rather than a lingering night out. At about $15 per person, it is worth it for solo meals, casual family stops, and takeout, but not for special occasions or groups needing comfort.

The menu
What to order
- Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles
- Stewed Pork Burger
- Stewed Pork Hand-Ripped Noodles
- Stir-Fried Liang Pi
- Spicy & Sour Lamb Dumplings
Repeat visits are best used to explore within the same focused lane. If the first order proves the noodle-and-spice point, the next can add Stir-Fried Liang Pi or Spicy & Sour Lamb Dumplings alongside a familiar noodle dish. The appeal is narrow in a good way: Xi’an and Shaanxi Chinese flavors, fast-casual service, and a low per-person spend. That focus makes the restaurant easy to understand and slot into a day when the goal is casual, flavorful, and efficient.
Who should choose it, and who should skip it
Choose it for a quick New York City meal, a low-spend noodle run, or a casual stop where assertive seasoning matters more than a formal restaurant format. It is especially suited to diners who want spice, hand-ripped noodles, and direct counter service. If you want a more leisurely or dressed-up meal, choose another style of dining. For around $15 per person, Xi'an Famous Foods 西安名吃 | Court Square LIC delivers a focused regional Chinese meal with a clear identity.
