Xi’an Famous Foods is a Chinese restaurant chain-let that has seven stores in New York City. It offers authentic northwest Chinese food that’s delicious and cheap(although not as cheap as some Chinese restaurants in Chinatown). No tips needed as it’s a self-serve restaurant with no waiters.
Place your order at the counter near the door, then follow instructions to get your food at one of the kitchens. There maybe two kitchens at each restaurants, you just have to wait until your number is called as in a McDonald’s restaurant in New York. Drinks can be taken from a small fridge near the counter and don’t need to wait. You usually don’t need to wait for long to place your order. If you see many people lining up, they might have paid and are waiting for their food.
There are very limited number of seats in the restaurant, so please don’t sit down until you get your food.
