So much fun to make. A great couple’s activity! Also incredibly delicious!
Jess J.
The kit made 4 HUGE Portions of noodles and the flavor was exactly like eating at Xi'an! I wish there was more cabbage included and maybe a bit more meat but the entire process was easy to follow and really fun.
Rachel A.
So amazing. Purchased these for my husbands birthday and he loved them!
Alyson S.
So fun. FYI UPS emails indicated that I needed to be present and sign for delivery, which was a real pain, and then the driver did not require a signature after all.
Shaye M.
I got this for my dad for his 70th birthday and he loved it! He had Xi'an lamb noodles when we visited Seattle but can't get them near where he lives in Iowa, so now he has an option to eat them at home!
Sarah S.
so delicious. i miss Xian Famous Foods. the meal kit is very close to the store. bought dish. highly recommend!
Cristin O.
A+ just like the restaurant

I first tried Xi'an Noodles when it was on Gold Belly where the meat was already marinated. I love this version more because it really feels like I am cooking! Overall, amazing and delicious. My only complaint is that, I received a 10% coupon immediately after placing the order which made me feel like I did not get a good deal.
Christine C.
Super yummy and fun to make! We kept the seeds in the pepper so it would be spicier.
Only recommendation I have is to include more ice packs for transit. I’m in MD (so pretty close) and by the time I received the food in 2-3 days, it really wasn’t that cold anymore.
Kelly C.
As delicious as it is in-person! Super easy to make and communication about shipping was very clear and accurate. Will definitely order again and have been sharing the link to order with friends ever since.
Marvyn H.
11/10 value! you are not kidding when you say it will feed at least 4. 4 adults shared one kit and NONE of us could finish..and that's a problem when the food is this delicious! 100% worth the cost of the food & shipping (please dont raise price!) ;-P The food was absolutely fresh, the lamb was insanely good and the flavor was PERFECT.
2 comments if I may:
1. UNDERSCORE on the instructions that your water needs to be boiling when you are ready to stretch the noodles..our water wasn't close and we piled up the noodles as we ripped them and they ended up reforming into a single dough ball while waiting for water to boil. We won't make that mistake again and we still managed to get yummy noodles but a bit more complicated and time consuming.
2. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE offer the liang pi cold noodles with the spongey tofu as a meal kit!!! we will be your first customer :-D
Tina R.
Absolutely delicious!!!
Michelle S.
This is our second time ordering the noodle kits and they are great. Not only super tasty, it's an easy dinner to make. Technically it's four servings, but we get about six. We usually make half one day and make the rest another day. We definitely plan to order again!
Andrew S.
Tasty and easy to make as always!
Taylor W.
I was thrilled to learn about this meal kit, having moved away from NYC recently. The cooking process was fun and the food was as delicious as I remembered!
Eliad C.
Travels well, delicious
Grace Z.
As always, well packaged, clear instructions, and unfailingly delicious!
Ariel M.
This was awesome! Very fun to make and the flavor was incredible. Really nicely packed and portioned. Will definitely make again.
Charles L.
Instructions were thorough and video backups were helpful too. I got a little lazy with my rolling so the noodle chewiness was affected (guess that's why I'm not a pro) but it was still great. Did I give myself an extra serving? Yes, I did!
Desiree H.
Amazing food! Great quality. Easy to make and it tasted just like the restaurant. I want to make this a regular thing
Lisa S.
I always make a spot at XFF when I go to NYC, and now I don’t have to because this tastes exactly like what’s in store. Super easy too.
mark s.
Quick and easy to follow the simple directions; very tasty results! We will be repeat customers.
Michelle S.
This is definitely my favorite meal kit. It was easy to make and super delicious! The order came fast and everything was really fresh. I plan to order again and send to my family.
Anthony T.
Tasted amazing. Exactly like the restaurant.
Meghan H.
Love the option to get Xi'ans delivered! This made a delicious addition to our holiday feast!
Tracy M.
We loved it. Kids had a blast making the noodles, and the dish was amazing. Will definitely order again.
robert g.
Great value / very unique and tasty .
Keith S.
Very tasty and fun to make.
Kaitlyn K.
This is the 2nd kit we ordered. We had friends over to join in the hand pulled noodle stretching, it was so much fun. The meat/sauce/noodles all turned out perfectly. I enjoy doing this so much and I'm thrilled to taste my favorite food all the way in Missouri!
Leah N.
I was born and raised in Xi’an and moved to the States 23 years ago. I can’t describe how much this food reminds me of home and my childhood. It is authentic, delicious and very straightforward instructions. Will buy it again!!
Lisa D.
I've purchased several times. This time I sent to my brother as a gift. He enjoyed them so much, he reordered two more after he finished his meal. They are outstanding. We always get the lamb, curry, noodles. They are addictive
Vanessa N.
SO DELICIOUS and straight forward to make! We were very happy w the results. We topped ours with a cilantro-packed greens (inspired by the tiger salad they used to have at the brick and mortars) tossed in a bit of the sauces that come in the meal kit
Will definitely order again!
Ashli B.
Will order more meal kits! So much fun and easier than I thought!
tapan a.
Had been craving my favorite spicy cumin lamb noodles since I left NYC. The instructions were very clear, took about 30 minutes and the final product turned out to be exactly the same as I remembered! Ate it 3 days in a row!!
Songyi E.
So tasty and EASY to make. Missing these flavors in Boston. So happy to have received free shipping. Would totally repeat.
Meghana V.
Really easy to make, instructions are clear and portions are perfect. Pulling the noodles is so fun!
Anthony F.
I hesitate to write a review because I never want them to run out!!!!!! This is my favorite dish. As in my favorite dish I’ve ever had….as in I’ve had dreams about it. So glad they deliver.
Isaac S.
It was easy to follow along with the instructions and it came out great!
Morgan R.
Living 200+ miles from NYC means it's a treat when we are able to visit a XFF restaurant. The Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodle kit is super easy to make and it's flippin' delicious!! The recipe is easy to follow. Tip: Let the noodle dough come to room temp before pulling. It takes about 30 minutes to cook dinner for 4! I love that we can have some XFF spicy noodles just about any time we want!
James P.
I've been to XFF many time - both locations in Flushing as well as the Manhattan Chinatown location. But I live upstate, so I can't get down there as often as I'd like. What a nice surprise that I can order the meal kits online! The spicy cumin lamb noodles are just as good as in the restaurant (and making the noodles is fun!).
Ying L.
It tasted exactly the same as the noodle in the restaurant
Jazmin W.
Absolutely delicious! The package arrived quickly, and the recipe instructions were easy to follow. My only complaint would be that the lamb package was sealed properly and leaked all over the other ingredients in the box.
Aloun K.
Food quality and taste matched the items you get in the store. However, I did find the packaging to lack a bit of elevation. iE, zip lock bags, aromatics all in the same bag, onion was a bit old being near the frozen ice bags.
Anthony F.
I worked in Manhattan for years and had your noodles once a week. When I left Manhattan for work in eastern Long Island I literally had dreams about your noodles. I take a 1 hour drive to Flushing 2-3 times a year for them as that was the closest store. I check your website every few months hoping to find you opened one on Long Island. But just as good as that I saw that you deliver it now! I got my favorite dish N1 and it came out just as good as in your restaurants. It was amazing and had your signature taste exactly as I remember it. Best noodles on the planet. Thanks so much. Anthony
Karly B.
We ABSOLUTELY LOVE these noodles!! We’ve had the beef and pork several times and just tried the lamb for the first time, just as AMAZING!! One of our favorite dishes of all time!
Morgan R.
Delish and easy to make! Totally worth it!
Charcie C.
The meal arrived perfectly packaged and Fresh The lamb was choice cut all of the veggies were fresh. I'm new to the noodle making but the noodle were still very delicious & tender. This meal kit was perfect!!
Rochelle S.
Absolutely amazing! So fun to make. Easy to follow instructions and ingredients were packaged very well. 10/10 for taste!!
Francine J.
Was super excited to get the spicy cumin lamb hand ripped noodles kit and it did not disappoint! The ingredients were fresh, the instructions were clear and I even watched a video before pulling the noodles. They came out just like buying it already cooked at the restaurant. I would definitely purchase again. It is also a great activity to do with friends or family. Highly recommend!
Bill W.
My kid loves the lamb and ate a double portion. I don't eat lamb anyhow, so I grilled up a chicken cutlet, cut it into cubes, and voila, I had spicy cumin chicken noodles!
Joanne N.
We loved the class. The good was spectacular! Will be ordering again! Thanks!
Vera N.
What an amazing meal?! It’s so flavorful and so delicious. Yet, so easy and quick to make. Honestly this is probably one of the best meals that I ever made. And… let’s not forget about the leftovers that somehow taste even better. Amazing!!! I absolutely loved it
Dolores D.
Fun to prepare - not difficult. Noodles were a challenge. Certainly did not look like Jason's work of art. But still light and delicate - that's a compliment coming from an Italian. Thank you for the experience and delicious dinner.
Franklin H.
Very tasty dish and easy to make with all the ingredients to make this dish included in the package and easy to follow directions. Highly recommended. Thank you for having this dish available for people who do not live in New York.
Javier A.
I love all Asian food and this allows me to make it at home! Perfectly spicy and savory!
Deborah F.
I ordered this as a birthday gift for perhaps your biggest fan in Philadelphia. Ordering was simple, communication timely & accurate, and the food kit was delivered without any problem at all. My son-in-law is very excited!
natalie s.
Bought it as a surprise birthday gift for a friend who lives far away now. We used to eat at Xian’s with when we were both in NYC. Though I personally can’t comment on the taste and texture of what was delivered, I think my friend’s exuberant reaction and Facebook posts are proof that it was amazing. Thank you for the perfect birthday gift to give!
Brian C.
I get this for my birthday every year since COVID keeps me from making business trips to NYC. The kits are amazing. All the ingredients are super fresh, instructions are simple and clear. And the results taste like I just walked out of Xi’an with it.
Bill W.
Always so delicious!
Janelle W.
Delicious and fun to make - we were delighted to be able to enjoy one of our favorite dishes in NYC from across the country!
Emilt L.
The BEST! Been craving this dish ever since I moved out of NYC and this instantly felt like home. Please never stop making these kits! So simple to make and so delicious.
Amelia T.
It was perfect!!!
Maryann C.
We received a meal kit as a gift and loved it so much we ordered another kit. Everything is perfectly packed and directions are easy to follow. And we got better at pulling the noodles the second time. Best of all is the spicy cumin flavor. When I worked in midtown Manhattan my office pals ordered this dish frequently. So my mouth was watering as we opened the box. Yummy.
Hao H.
The taste is awesome! The only not so good thing is the noodle dough… they are too sticky, and most of them melt together and hard to be separated. Others are all good.
Jane S.
Delicious delicious delicious
Colin W.
The meal kits are amazing! Easy shipping, everything is included for 4 servings. It’s easy to make 1 or 2 servings or all 4 servings at once. It’s 30ish minutes start to finish and you don’t have to be a great cook to have Noods at home.
Tyler B.
Absolutely amazing! Unfortunately we don’t have famous foods in Boston, but being able to order these kits has cured my cravings. We got the spicy cumin lamb noodle kit and it was just as good as in store! Although, the first time pulling noodles was a bit of a learning curve it got easier over time. These kids were just enough to feed four of us. Highly recommend trying them out!
Sahar R.
Love love love the spicy cumin lamb dish. This is the second time we've ordered this - both times for our wedding anniversary meal at home (yes it's that good!). Super easy to make, super easy to customize if need be (you can see we added home grown cilantro to the top of ours as garnish), and super delicious. Only minor complaint I would have is that this time around, the noodle dough didn't stretch as easily/well as last time. The noodles ripped more as if they were more dry and because of that, it was harder to hand rip/slap them to get the full experience. We managed to make it work and it was still a VERY delicious meal so we still 10000% recommend this kit! (picture included is from last year since this time around we devoured before getting a chance to snap a pic!)
Daniel R.
Incredible! Had the cumin lamb last time I was in NYC and have been craving it for two years. Find out they sell the meal kits. My wife and I love to cook and this wasn’t complicated at all. Watch the videos on how to stretch the dough. If it breaks, just throw in the small pieces in the water. Comes out amazing!
Sarah B.
We've ordered meal kits several times as a special experience and meal during the pandemic since we haven't been able to travel to NYC. While we haven't mastered the technique quite like the restaurant, the meals are delicious and well-worth the small amount of effort required to make them ourselves.
Kelsey K.
This meal kit is the best! The instructions are clear and well-written, making it super easy to follow along and keeps the cooking process fun. The resulting food is delicious! And makes a lot- so we always enjoy leftovers the next day too.
Katelin W.
This is an event and a meal. We taught our relatives how to pull their own noodles over the holidays and it was a huge hit! The final result is also irresistibly delicious!
Tina B.
fun date night activity!
Allison C.
Love these meal kits and have bought them as gifts multiple times!
Jenifer S.
We used to live in Beijing and love noodles. These tasted very authentic and were super easy to make!
Robert O.
Among the finest “meal kit” experiences I’ve had. The noodle prep was a revelation: a great learning experience and a lot of fun. I have been fortunate enough to eat at your own restaurants (East Village and 23rd St) and have to say the results at home were pretty comparable not necessarily because I’m such a great cook (though I’m not a slouch) but because the kit made the execution pretty foolproof. The noodles came out perfectly toothsome and fresh tasting and the protein toppings (we had both the lamb and the beef) were great but no question this was a noodle dish. The leftovers were great as well. No surprise the heat ticked up in the leftovers but deliciously so. Nice job and good luck with the meal kit enterprise.
Nina K.
Second time making these noodles...this time for Christmas eve with my son as chief noodle slapper! We had a great time and, as before, ended up with a really scrumptious dish for three with leftovers for lunch! Highly recommend.
Brittany F.
Didn't make it quite as good as going to the restaurant, but it tasted fantastic and the directions were really easy to follow. It is very spicy, so if you can't handle the spice I'd recommend only using one to two of the chili packets
Srilekha T.
it was wonderful
Micah S.
I missed Xian Famous Foods so much after leaving New York. The home cooking kit was so fun and straight forward to cook. Really hard to beat! 10 out of 10 stars, would buy again!
Emily K.
Great experience! My family loved the food, a taste of NYC in very rural northern Minnesota!
ANAMIKA K.
Great fun to make at home and absolutely delicious!
Jennifer B.
It was very easy to prepare and came out delicious! I couldn't have been more pleased. Thanks, Xian's!
Ely D.
We love making this for a break from our usual dinner staples, and they ship really fast. Instructions are easy to follow and it comes out delicious every time!
Areefa J.
Very easy! Delicious!! And very fun!!!
Melissa A.
Highly recommended! The food is delicious and it's super fun and easy to make at home.
Rebecca S.
This is my third time making this meal. It is so scrumptious. It makes so much and I’m always excited to have leftovers for days
Elizabeth L.
One of our favorite meals to cook together!!
Jennifer J.
Fun to make and delicious to eat. Spicy! We enjoyed it very much.
Mary P.
My family loves Xi’an noodles night! We especially enjoy the spicy lamb meal kit. The meal is as much fun to make as it is to eat! The children love to “ slap the noodles”!! We have our noodle night planned for next month! Thank you Xi’an foods!
Sarah S.
So Delicious and Easy!!!
We moved to Northern Virginia in late 2020 and the one thing I missed the most was XFF!!!
My office in NYC was near a Queens location and it was a weekly habit to order B1 and NS1 every week, sometimes more than once a week. So glad to have a meal kit that replicates about 95% of the experience in a NYC XFF. Thank-you for creating the meal kits! I hope you also consider a version of the B1 or B2. Maybe try frozen food packs? I miss XFF and this was a great way to experience the joy of eating X’ian flavors.
dave p.
True to the original - outstanding!!!!
S C.
I love it. Didn't add celery as it was somehow frozen, otherwise everything is amazing! I was upset that I can't celebrate CNY with families but the XFF kit definitely cheered me up!
Sarah B.
Home away from home! I'm a New Yorker living in Michigan and Xi'an Famous Foods is the #1 place I miss. I've been traveling back less frequently over the past two years due to the pandemic, and am so grateful for these meal kits to hold me over until my next trip!
Kellyn W.
The noodles were unbelievably delicious and it was really fun to make them at home. I will absolutely order them again!
Amy
Delicious and Easy!
Huge fan of the restaurant but with the pandemic we're not traveling to NYC for work anymore. Ordering this kit was the next best option and wow, did it deliver. Banging out the noodles was a lot of fun and the recipe was so easy to follow and complete. What a treat this has been, can't wait to order more.
Paula
Authentic Xian!
I'm so glad that Xian is shipping meal kits now! The Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodles from the 54th Street location were always my favorite meal after visits to MoMA, and I've missed them. This meal kit is fun to make and it tastes just like it did in the restaurant. And this dish tastes just like the spicy cumin lamb that i was eating when I visited Beijing and Xian a couple of years ago--it's authentic!
