Oh thank God this restaurant hasn't closed yet. I saw some interviews of them at the beginning of lockdown and economic meltdown, they sounded pretty grim back then (they didn't get the early phase of COVID relief). Thankfully they are surviving now and hopefully forever more.

For the East coast folks, you can order the whole package from them online. They send you the chili oil, cooked lamb, vegetable, and the dough. You can pull the noodle like in the video before cooking it, then mix everything together. It's pretty fun and tasty just like at the restaurant.

I just tried these this weekend. Its one of the best things I've ever eaten and it was like 9 dollars. That's just crazy!! In midtown manhattan no less.... everyone needs to try this

Xian’s famous food is the only vivid memory from my NYC trip. Top notch noodles. The best Chinese food I ever had.

Lies again? American Education Evil Angel

Indeed. On KZread, I saw recently some happy people in rural Xi'an foraging casually for special meals wild arugula, wild thyme, etc., and even wild morel mushroom, which would be outrageously expensive in the west, and the ways they prepared and combined these organic food ingredients with, for example, lamb, vegetables, starch, etc. were just so "international" !!! I think Silk Road definitely contributed to the exciting multiculturalism of Xi'an.

I'm from Xi'an!!!! I miss this !

I simply heard “spicy cumin lamb noodles” and I legit started salivating. It’s like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this

Yellow never age. I still look like I'm in my 20s when I'm 30. Noodles are shaped where it can coat all that yummy goodness.

Looks delicious, love Northern chinese food. From Malaysia.

I’m envious, I wish I eat that in my house and I’m Chinese. But sadly, my folks are not huge fan of spices. In fact, my mother is Cantonese/Southern Chinese. She has this philosophy that food should be ‘pure’ or natural; always lightly flavored and balanced. For example, rice should stay white and never mixed with any stuff, except fried rice.

Wonderful video. That really, REALLY looks good!! I like the owner (and the father/son team approach). If I'm ever there - I will make it a guaranteed stop. Thanks so much.
