Xi'an Famous Foods (CLOSED)

Food & Drink Award winner Jason Wang expands his Chinese chainlet to midtown, with this 18-seat outpost. Like its sister locations, this fifth branch showcases the mouth-tingling cuisine of Xi'an—once the starting point of the Silk Road—with a short menu of hand-pulled noodles and cumin-spiced lamb burgers. Chow down at a wooden counter in the back as a hi-def TV plays clips of Wang and his father stretching noodles.
