Amazing , easy to prepare at home.
Glenn M.
Tasty, well-packaged, instructions mostly clear, lots of fun to "slap" the noodles. Pricey, but worth it once in a while if you want to feel like you're back at a genuine Chinese place in NYC!
Morrigan B.
Fabulous. 4 servings that really stretch (could feed 6-8, honestly)! Got the mt. qi kit and it's 100% what you expect, just like you'd order it in line. Well-worth it. Show-stopper, worth the overnight shipping.
Davlon E.
The end result was delicious and it was a fun meal to make with my daughter. Plenty of noodle dough, pork and sauces but could have used more cabbage and scallions. We also cut a cucumber into sticks to garnish once in our bowls. Absolutely delicious. Will order again.
Xin S.
So fun to make and the resulting dish is beyond delicious!! Generous portions, quick delivery, couldn’t be happier!
Morgan S.
The noodles are so delicious and taste so fresh! Along with fresh veggies and delicious marinated cook pork you cannot go wrong! If you are considering getting a meal kit- just do it! It’s amazing!!!
Krystin P.
Best noodles ever. Had them every day for a week when we were in Xi'an and have been shipping them to Florida ever since I found their restaurant in NY.
Yiwen L.
Xian famous food meal kit is very easy and fun to make. The flavor is very tasty. The materials are very fresh and clean. The whole making process also don’t take long. I think it is very convenient as well:)
Monica G.
I got this kit as a gift for my Dad’s 76th birthday. It was a hit! My mom, dad, and aunt all had a blast pulling the noodles- they all texted me separately about how fun it was and my dad can’t stop talking about the delicious and unique flavor. I definitely recommend this as a fun activity gift and I feel like I should get one for myself to try!
Courtney R.
Our meal was exceptional. We moved from nyc 4 years ago and our meal tasted like it was freshly made in the shop!
Katherine L.
Incredible experience, such a fun group activity too! We did this as a night in for a bachelorette and it was a big hit. The food was delicious and the instructions were so easy to follow. Will absolutely be ordering again!!
Giang B.
Very fun experience to stretch out and 'make' your own noodles.
kids and adults had fun pulling their own and the sauces (soy, chili and meat) all tasted like the restaurant quality.
Would do this again in a heartbeat.

Always a fun dinner to make and so freaking delicious!
George K.
This dish was amazing worth every penny
Annie C.
We love these kits! We’ve ordered three times already and every time it’s been delivered quickly and all the ingredients are fresh. meals turn out great every time!
JENNIFER R.
Incredibly good kits, almost as good as eating the noodles right in the restaurant!
Rowena S.
I love these meal kits! They are fun and pretty close to the real thing!
Niall C.
The Mt Qi noodle kit is a family favorite— both at the restaurants and as a home kit. The kit ingredients are delicious and fresh, the instructions are easy, and the result is delicious. We love it and it is a great way to tide us over until we can get back to a Xian shop in person (we currently live three hours away— too far!). Thank you!
Sarah N.
Fun and delicious.!
Tracy Dawn B.
We had a great time crafting our meal kit and enjoying the delicious meal!
Joseph O.
Mt Qi Pork is fun to make with my son. We both love it though I like more chili oil. Plenty of leftovers, too!
Niall C.
We rec’d the Mt Qi pork noodle kit today as a gift from our son and my husband made it for four of us and it was outstanding! Absolutely delicious! We are huge Xian fans who moved three hours away from NYC and having this dish again was wonderfully nostalgic. It tastes exactly like it used to when we lived in NYC! Thank you so much. This meal kit was fantastic!!!
John D.
It's fun (and easy) to make the noodles and even better to eat them! This is an excellent purchase for anyone who likes to cook. Very easy, and absolutely delicious.
John J.
Took a couple tries to get the hang of hand pulling the noodles but it was really fun! My boyfriend was skeptical while I was cooking but he loved the finished product and said we should order it again
Philipp S.
Loved our first delivery and will be ordering more.
Sylvia B.
Tastes just like it does in the restaurant!
Aimee M.
I have ordered this meal kit a few times now as gifts and they are always a hit! For folks that miss a taste of NYC, they're pleasantly surprised by how close this gets to eating it the restaurant. It so fun and was surprisingly easy to make with great ingredients and instructions.
Margaret W.
Great food. Fun experience. Easy to make!
Allison M.
Fun and delicious! Great gift and will absolutely order again!
Nancy H.
Daughter-in-law from China said they were the best noodles she has had in 6 years she has been in US
Lee X.
Its delicious and tastes just like the restaurant! Once you get the hang of it the noodles are surprisingly easy to pull. I will definitely repurchase this. Also a great gift idea for foodies
Nick K.
What can I say? This place is the best. It's a staple for me when I'm in NYC, but when I can't get there soon enough to feed my craving, I settle for second best and make it at home. It comes out almost exactly like eating it in the restaurant and I can do it from LA. There's just nothing like it and I'm thrilled this exists.
Julie M.
So fantastic! Get this right now!
Van N.
I was nervous, but it was easy to make. So yummy!
Karly B.
ALWAYS DELICIOUS!! We make sure we always have at least one order in the freezer!

Eating noodles from Xi’an Famous foods transports my imagination to the origin of the Silk Road. How many of those intrepid travelers had a bowl of noodles similar to those we eat today before leaving the city on a long and often hostile journey? Perhaps even Marco Polo?The flavors and textures found in a bowl of these hand ripped noodles are far from the mainstream Cantonese Chinese so familiar to Americans. The unique intensity and mix of spices reflects the confluence of cultures intrinsic to the city and region. Xi’an Famous Food noodles are not to be missed. The meal kits are complete and provide full instructions. Don’t be intimidated by the noodles, they are more forgiving than one might expect. Pull them as instructed and if they are a little uneven a little rolling pin effort strategically placed makes everything good. A long work surface to lay them out is essential for “touch up” work. A large pot with plenty of boiling water is also essential for cooking anything but one noodle at a time. The noodles will excellent to eat even if the thickness is uneven.
Lismary R.
Super fast shipping and great quality
Deann E.
Ahhhhmazing! Was such a great family adventure to pull these tasty noodles! Thank you!
Ruihan L.
yummy food, fast delivery
patrick l.
This is the 4th kit I've ordered in the last year. Kits have been great quality and consistent packaging. It is worth noting that this last kit was received with handling damage that compromised the contents. The soy sauce exploded everywhere. Despite the mess, the rest of the kit was great.
Eric B.
THE BEST! I order regularly and I’m so grateful they offer these kits. Super easy and fun to make, so delicious.
Caroline G.
This is the second time I’ve ordered because these noodles are just so darn delicious. I would say that each box makes more like 5-6 servings. Pro-top: add extra celery.
Allie M.
These meal kits have absolutely saved me in the past couple years, incredible quality and so easy to put together. I’m so excited to try the dumplings next!
Jhoanna R.
So freaking good! Almost as good as going to the restaurant itself! It’s my 3rd time trying the home kit, realized the noodles are much easier to pull when fresh rather than waiting a couple of days to make them. Will definitely keep buying and recommending to everyone.
Jennifer K.
So delicious! Tastes like it's straight out of the Xi'an kitchen. This is my fourth or fifth time ordering the meal kit, and I keep coming back for more because it's just THAT good.
Leslie F.
Fast delivery, clear instructions and delicious food.
Nancy M.
Very easy to make! Even ripping the noodles was easy thanks to the suggested quick video. If you love hot&spicy you will love this dish!
Jennifer f.
These noodle kits are absolutely the best! The first time we made them I was sure they wouldn't turn out well, but they were perfection. We're hooked! They're so much fun to make and couldn't be more delicious. And, it's the best deal in town.
Adam K.
Instructions were very clear and the end result was delicious
Gina S.
This was a wonderful experience! Our order came right on time and was so delicious, fun and amazingly easy for us to do. Our son from China was so pleased to taste and touch an experience so familiar to him. Absolutely a delight!
Kenneth C.
Easy to make and tasted just as amazing as we remember the experience in NYC!
Rachel B.
My husband and I moved out of NYC last year and X'ian Famous Foods was a staple outing. Their meal packs are so fun, and my sister gifted us a little of NYC to our new home all the way in Washington with their Mt Qi Pork Noodles. They are so delicious and it makes for a really fun date night slapping those noods together. It's only the two of us so we got to make My Qi two nights in a row, but the set would also be great for a family of four to do for a fun family night. Highly recommend, all of their dishes are delicious and worth every penny.
Kenneth B.
Awesome. Tasted just like the restaurant and fun to make. Wish you sold the stewed pork which is my favorite but the lamb is my second fav. My only negative was the amount of packaging you use for mailing. Need to green it up a bit. Otherwise 5 stars.
Mark S.
Took a little practice to pull the noodles, but got the hang of it. Delicious!
Ge H.
I loved the noodles (they taste exactly the same as those in stores) and I’ll be ordering more in the future.
Elyse K.
This was a gift for a friend after I made my own at home and loved it so much. She has so much fun and also felt it was amazing. Portions are HUGE and instructions are easy!
Marissa S.
Fun to make! Delicious. Will order again! We were so excited to get our favorite NYC staple in Cali.
dave p.
Tasted just like i was picking up from Xian! Outstanding
Ron Larimer
Great product
This was our first kit and it was a winner. Since everything you need to cook this meal is provided, it truly took only 15 min to prepare and cook. Stretching the noodles was lots of fun. Everyone really enjoyed the intense flavors. Would definitely buy this again.
Sam
100% Would recommend
I've never been to the NYC location, but I've always wanted to try then since seeing their video on munchies. Though total cost is a bit expensive (mostly because of shipping), it's 100% worth it. There was a shipping delay of about 5 days due to weather, but the veggies were still really fresh. The noodle prep was simple and fun (though it took some getting used to). The whole kit preparation was ridiculously easy. I got the mt. Qi pork kit, and the noodles were bouncy and chewy (much better than stuff I'd tried to make from scratch) and the sauce was rich and flavorful. They taste very authentic and absolutely amazing. Making all 4 servings at once can be tricky, though. All in all, I would 100% buy again and I can't wait to try all the other versions.
Elizabeth O'Connor
Most Delicious Meal Kit
This is seriously the best noodles you could ever order online!! I have ordered the meal kit a couple of times now and it is always packed perfectly and tastes amazing every time.
Mary Eliason
Wow! What a nice way to bring family together
Wanted to end a great birthday day for my daughter in law with a family meal. We have no laughed so hard in the kitchen in years! Everyone wanted a turn at trying to make the noodles! Even though we did nothing t get them perfect they turned out amazing! And the flavors are outstanding! Thank you for putting the love back in the kitchen!
Stephanie
Awesome and fun!
I live in Rhode Island and has never heard of Xian until I saw the owner featured on TV. I decided to order this meal kit out of curiosity and COVID boredom. I was not disappointed! It was easy to make (and I’m only a pro at screwing up cooking) and was restaurant quality. It was so good, and the servings were huge! Pulling the noodles was intimidating but ended up being a lot of fun. My picky husband liked it too! I can see myself ordering another kit. I am also hoping to check out one of the restaurants once COVID is over and I can visit NYC again!
Amos Berger
Just like in the restaurant - and Jason is 100
Most importantly, this is the bomb. Taste just like in the restaurant. Also Jason, the CEO, is wonderful. There was an issue with me receiving the order (actually it was my fault) and he was so responsive and helped fixed it to ensure I had my kits in time for the holidays. Best service ever. Jason really cares.
Jimmy
Amazing and easy
Took about 20 minutes to make. Easily makes 6 servings. We haven’t been in NYC for 10 months and miss Xi’ans. Cheaper than we can get the local crappy Chinese food. 10/10 would order again.
Corrinne
Craving satisfied
Our meal kit arrived on time, everything was fresh including the vegetables, and the flavors matched my expectations. We sorely missed X'ian's since being stuck outside of NYC, and the meal kit lifted our spirits. The noodles were fun to pull, it and surprisingly simple to pick up after watching the video. Will order again, for sure!
Brian Krick
Will buy again, and again
So glad these guys are doing this! Was already a huge fan of the restauraunt. Making them at home was even more satisfying and for the portion size, a good value.
Paramita Roy
Easy and amazing!
I lost the instructions for my dish and ended up winging it. Still ended up being amazing and delicious. This kit is great for dinner parties. Lots of food, fast and easy to make. And tastes just like buying it at the store, at the comfort of your home.
AC
Fun!
It was fun to pull the noodles, and delicious to boot.
Sean
Awesome Product and Experience
This kit was awesome. Had everything you need to make the dishes just like the restaurants. All of the food is fresh and very easy to prepare. Lots of fun to make!
Lindy
Tasty just like in store! Very fun to make!
I just received the kit and all the ingredients inside, especially the cabbage celery and scallions are so FRESH! The instructions are very clear and the process of making is really fun and easy! It’s definitely a great experience!
Avril
Delicious and simple
This was my second kit so I knew what to do so that it came out better this time. I rolled out my noodles instead of using my palm. My children and I loved this!!
Kendrick
Much needed XFF in crazy times
Easy and fun to pull the noodles, absolutely delicious, will be ordering more very soon!
Erin
Noods in the time of quarantine
XFF have really outdone themselves here, this delivery kit was seriously the highlight of what has felt like some of our collective darkest hours in 2020. Delivery was on time. It was packaged with care and the instructions were simple to follow (though we did watch a youtube video for the noodle part to be sure). *Definitely use a big pot for the noodles and cabbage, it boils up more than average pasta.
The results were amazing, just like getting XFF in the shop. It was so delicious and even with eating large portions we had more than 4 servings' worth of food. While I have mixed feelings this review will make kits sell out even faster, XFF deserves the love because they rule and so do these meal kits.
Olivia
Best Quarantine Meal
I've been craving Xi'an since quarantine started (RIP Greenpoint location) and was so incredibly happy to get my hands on this meal kit.
This was so much fun and easy to make! Its also really quick, you can have fresh noods on the table in 15 minutes. It tastes just like it does in the stores and hits the spot! This will certainly hold me over until stores open back up. In the meanwhile, I've ordered another meal kit. I usually get N4 so this has been a fun opportunity to try other things on the menu, too.
Cali A Howitt
AMAZING.
So fast (15 min), so easy, so fun, and SO delicious. One kit feeds 4 people very generously. We froze half the noods/sauces and it was just as good the second time.
Alice and Oscar
Easy, fun and delicious
Great way to experience Xian Famous Foods. My kids had great time pulling the noodles.
Tasted great. Highly recommended. I will order it again soon
Nick Bourdakos
❤️❤️❤️
I thought hand pulling noodles would be a difficult task, but these meal kits ended up being incredibly quick and easy! Not only was it easy, but it tasted just like what I would get from Xi’an Famous Foods.
“1 serving” is definitely enough for a full dinner (you could probably get away with less, I eat a lot). I ordered 2 meal kits for my girlfriend and I. We froze one and ate it over 2 weeks, about 4 days worth of food for the both of us.
I highly recommend and can’t wait to order more
Monica
Highlight of quarantine
So delicious!
All the ingredients were fresh and the instructions were super clear. I definitely felt full after making 1 serving.
I normally get NS3, so I followed the instructions and just poured some beef broth over it.
It tastes pretty much like what I would get at the restaurant.
Love this so much. Thank you for putting care into these meal kits!
Charles N
Easy, Fun & Delicious!
If you love Xi'an Famous Foods as much as I do, you may have the same questions I had about these meal kits: will they really taste like the dishes I get at the restaurant? And: with zero experience hand-pulling noodles, am I just going to screw this up?
Well, having tried both the beef and pork meal kits, these really do capture the delicious flavors of XFF restaurant dishes, and even a noodle novice like myself found the process very easy and fun to do.
Instructions are clear and simple to follow, while the "4 servings" estimate, if anything, is on the conservative side--I'd say 4 for large appetites, and 5-6 for smaller ones. Instructions are also provided to prepare individual servings, so you don't have to make the whole meal kit at once. The ingredients will keep up to 3 days in your fridge. Also: besides pulling and boiling the noodles and a bit of chopping, there's little else you need to do. The sauces and meats just need heating in a pan.
All in all, a lot of thinking and care went into these meal kits, and I'm happy to be able to get my XFF fix in my home while the restaurants remain closed.

Xian’s at Home
I thoroughly enjoyed my N3 at home! I liked how quick and easy it was to prepare one of my favorite dishes at home and being able to have the ingredients fresh made for a delicious eating experience.
The instructions were very intuitive and the Noodle Slapping was easy to get the hang of. Delivery was seamless and no contact. I look forward to trying more dishes as they come out.
