Xi'an Famous Foods (CLOSED)

Food & Drink Award winner Jason Wang brings his Chinese chainlet to Morningside Heights, with this sixth outpost. Like its sister locations, this 17-seat spot 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 as a high-def TV plays clips of Wang and his dad making noodles.
