True! Even though all authentic Chinese restaurants will have English menus it can probably still be intimidating for non-Chinese people to eat there. This place is super laidback though and the fast food format and digital ordering system makes anyone feel welcome inside.

Funny about the vegetables. I'm part Chinese on my moms side and my grandma would always get us to eat vegetables by telling us they prevented cancer. Literally everything we refused to eat she'd make that claim "You don't want to get cancer do you?!? Quick, eat your cauliflower!" and then we moved on to more Asian veggies like gai lan and bitter melon, which I still love to this day.

Great video. As someone who has been to this restaurant, and who also happens to live in Xi'an, I give them kudos for keeping most things traditional. Especially the rou jia mo and the cucumber salad. Ok, the cumin lamb noodles are not really a thing here, but the noodles themselves are traditional and you do see cumin lamb dishes (albeit not in noddle form), but they made it their own. And it tastes great.

Yeah, Southern veggies are pretty much boiled to death. This is slowly changing. One meal that I never truly enjoyed was the traditional Thanksgiving turkey "with all the trimmings." There's usually nothing savory about that meal--it's just bulk calories with bland, uninteresting tastes. Chinese veggies: I love bok choy, but I warn anyone who lives alone never to eat it at home. It's way too easy to swallow wrong, get it stuck in your throat and choke on the stuff. Of course, you _could_ knife and fork it into small, unchokeable pieces, and that would work.

My only dilemma at Xi’an Famous is whether to get the lamb noodles or the lamb burger with liang pi. When I choose one, I always still want the other.

Yo my stoner brother, i love the lamb burgers from Xian Famous foods in Flushing but they cannot compare to Henan Feng Wei's lamb burgers - 420 BLAZE IT
