I feel SOOOO lucky that Xian Famous Foods is in Alexandria! Please stay! Everything was so delicious: meaty dumplings, excellent, tasty, tender lamb. I will be ordering ALL THE TIME. Also, such value for the price!

It's delicious! While not the same as NYC, the familiar smells and taste is what I looked for in the meal. The lamb hand pulled portion was okay, but the NS2 beef hand pulled noodles was a large portion that was hot upon arrival! Pork dumplings were fantastic, although the skin was very thick and almost too chewy. Would like to order again for more spicy meals that feed the soul!

Used to eat at my neighborhood location in NYC regularly. Glad that there is a location in the DMV! The [F6] Spicy & Sour Spinach Dumplings (7) were flavorful and filling. The spicy chili oil served with them was the perfect compliment. The [N1] Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles were perfectly spicy and absolutely delicious. The portions of both items were generous. Oh, and the Chrysanthemum Tea was light and refreshing. Perfect meal! Will be coming back for more!

Everything was tasty. Very good portions for price. I found the [L2] Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad to be lacking in flavor so probably would not get it again. Everything else was default spicy and it wasnt spicy at all. I would make it more spicy if you want a kick. [N2] Spicy & Tingly Beef Muscle Hand-Ripped Noodles the meat is tender. [N1] Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles the noodles have a good tecture [F8] Spicy & Sour Pork & Cabbage Dumplings (7) the dumplings are fried not steamed or boiled. Keep that in mind. Fresh and arrived warm .

This was simply amazing. Probably some of the best asian food i've had in years. The [N1] Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles were a big portion plenty of noodles, meat and veggies, packed with flavor, also very fairly priced. The same can be said for the [F8] Spicy & Sour Pork & Cabbage Dumplings (7). I'll definitely be ordering from here again.
